Prepping 101: Getting Started
For many skeptics and beginners, getting started is the hardest part. After all, as we've said before, becoming a survivalist is a total upheaval of your lifestyle.
You start to look at things in a totally different light. We're not paranoid, but we're aware of our surroundings and we know how and when to take action if it's needed.
Part of this lifestyle is completing the appropriate gear and supplies. This in itself can seem like a daunting task for a novice prepper.
Prepper Supplies
It seems like every website and preppers blogs I come across has a different list of “10 items every prepper MUST have!” Or, “10 SHTF supplies you don't want to be caught without.”
The truth is, we don't all have the time, money, or resources to acquire all these items right away. Some of the items from a prepper gear list can even be overwhelming and a lot of it isn't even necessary, to begin with.
This video will give you suggestions for items you will really need in any survival situation—even SHTF. These are essential items you need to help you find food, safe drinking water, and start a fire.
There are also items to help you build a shelter, defend yourself, and a first aid kit.
