Preparing for emergencies is a wise decision, and there is no doubt that it is better to be prepared for the worst-case scenario than not. However, there are many mistakes that preppers make, which can result in their preparation efforts becoming futile. In this article, we will take a look at the top ten mistakes preppers make and how to avoid them.

  1. #1 Failing To Evaluate Your RisksFailing To Evaluating Your Risk

    One of the significant mistakes preppers make is failing to evaluate the risks they face. Many people plan for one scenario and do not consider other possibilities. It is essential to evaluate the potential risks in your area, such as power outages, tornadoes, hurricanes, civil unrest, economic meltdown, nuclear incidents, and pandemics. By evaluating your risks, you can prepare for life and be better prepared for any situation that may arise.

Ahoy fellow preppers! James Winthrop here, long-time sailor and fellow prepper from the sunny state of Florida. Having spent years bracing the sea's unpredictability and prepping for its fury, I found this article to be an excellent compass for those charting their course in the sea of preparedness.

I would like to weigh anchor on point #3 - the importance of having an evacuation plan. In my case, my family and I have prepared our 40-foot sailboat as our bug-out vehicle. It's equipped with solar panels, a water desalination system, and ample storage for supplies. This gives us the freedom to navigate away from danger, using the sea as our highway. Depending on your location, a bug-out boat may be a viable option.

For point #4, while I agree that over-reliance on technology can be disastrous, it's also important to remember that some technologies can prove invaluable in a survival situation. Our solar panels, for instance, provide us with a sustainable source of energy, allowing us to maintain necessary functions on our boat when on the move.

Finally, to add to point #7, communication within your community is vital. In my boating community, we use marine VHF radios for close range communication, especially when out at sea. It's a reliable and efficient way to stay connected, even when conventional means fail.

As we set sail on this journey of preparedness, remember that each one's voyage is unique. Take what you can from these guidelines but tailor your plans to your specific circumstances. Fair winds and following seas, fellow preppers.
