Suddenly, beginning prepping doesnt sound so crazy after all, does it?
Maybe you have no idea what to do first.
So, before you run to your local supermarket for a 50-lb.
bag of flour or beans, read on.
Instead, you should think of prepping as a mindset change first, and action later.
Lets talk about what becoming a prepper means in practice.
Dont just think about natural or man-made threats, either think aftermath, too.
Consider these things when developing aprepper storage room.
Next, youll need to think about how many people youll be taking care of.
Others believe that they should have enough to also care for anyone who comes asking for help.
Whichever camp youre in, youll need to decide now.
Youll also need to consider any specific needs of your household members.
Now, lets talk timing.
If youre in Florida, maybe thats hurricane season.
If youre in Wisconsin or North Dakota, its winter, when cold can reach -40 degrees below zero.
The last position you want to be in is buying critical items after theyve become critical.
(Try buying a generator during a power outage; youll see what I mean.
Likewise, dont beginprepping for winterwhen the temps drop below freezing.)
Willpower also comes into play.
Are you willing to ensure that you are physically, mentally and emotionally fit?
Can you do without Netflix if it means having supplies?
Can you stick to a budget to ensure the means to buy supplies?
These are questions only you might answer, but they are fundamental to beginning prepping.
Decide what you need based on the above criteria and plan your purchases.
Prepping is a deliberate thing, and every purchase, no matter how critical, requires well-thought-out action.
Shop sales, use coupons where appropriate and look at online sources.
This will help you get the most for your money.
If youre going to do it, do it right.
Youll be glad you did.
