If you are new to prepping it can often be overwhelming, and many do not know where to start. It's made more difficult because every person lives differently, and has different challenges to face. Here's a simple guide to get you going.
What to do now:
- Make a list of events that have happened in your area in the last 2 years. Power outages, tornadoes, hurricanes, snowstorms, floods, drought, wildfires, riots, et cetera.
- Look at how the event affected your life, and how long it lasted.
- Get food, water, power, 1st aid, and such so that WHEN (not IF) this happens next year, you can carry on with life as if nothing is happening.
What to do next:
- Once you have step 3 done, double that length so that you can survive an extended period.
- Rinse and repeat.
Your goal is not just to survive an emergency, but to get through it without it affecting your life.
