Common Sense #Prepping. 🪓

1. Learn to stock, eat out of, rotate, and maintain a deep pantry and space freezer. Stock high end camping rations in storage for stretching supply in emergencies.

2. Keep 30 days of fresh water and a water filtration kit for fetching and filtering water from nearby. Source locations in good times.

3. Keep a steel rocket stove, hatchet, and some kit to fetch wood from nearby. Ensure hardy cookware to use on top. Keep kindling on hand.

4. Obtain and use a large lithium battery bank with solar panels for camping but also in an emergency. Learn to run your space freezer and fridge off of it. Get bad and disting fan to keep things cool. Get a lithium motor bike that can be loaded in a truck.

5. Do an area study of your location. Print a map and mark key areas. Determine a bail out location that you can use periodically. A campsite is a great idea, or a cabin. Vacation there. Plan routes. Get your bail out bags setup in the garage.

6. Practice firearm proficiency. EDC a carry gun. Go to the range. Build a battle belt. Learn to clean, maintain, etc. Involve the family.

7. Build med kits at home. Treat your own cuts. Animal bites. Stock meds for infections (ivermectin, fenben, doxycycline, itraconazole, CDS, methylene blue). Become like a little family practice and improve over the years.

8. Avoid the prepping scene. It's an entire industry designed to scare you and waste your time and money. Think wholesome capable boy scout culture, not freaked out conservative gun guy.

These are all common sense, highly useful things that can be leveraged in good times and bad developed in waves over years.

One to add: get comfortable with cold showers but also get a stainless steel camp shower that can be heated on a camp stove and pump pressurized. Nothing lifts spirits in hard times like a warm shower. Oh and bonus points for a composting toilet. Think of all the things that enter and exit your ho...

Good list, but you should add, learn and start a garden, raise rabbits and or chickens and learn how to process them. Also learn to forage and use medicinal herbs and how to propagate them in your garden, medication runs out, herbs don’t have to… personally that’s more common sense prepping th...

9. Build relationships with farmers and neighbours for sharing resources, tools and skills. 10. Stash comfort food (sweets, Nutella, ingredient for crepes and pizzas) to maintain morale for the wife and kids.

I'd say buy some cheap radios so you have alternative way to communicate in times of power outages (batteries in cell towers die - look in the recent spanish/portugeese outage) Also make things simple - I have a small foldable solar setup that outputs 100w and it has an usb plug so I can very easil...

Great list. Also think in terms of time. What do I need to last 3 days? A week? month? Water is essential and often overlooked. Well with a way to power it, a source with a way to purify it, or lots of storage. A bare minimum would be 5 liters per person per day. Be familiar with water puri...

This is probably the most down-to-earth and useful prepping advice I’ve seen. No paranoia, just skills and habits that make sense even when nothing goes wrong. Well said 👌

Words to the wise. The biggest takeaway is developing skills and resources for the good times that help in the bad. Many people in climate friendly, politically stable and resource rich areas of the world are building out their survival stack in isolation with zero everyday crossover which is a ...

Learn to network and be useful to others. Not all of us will be out in the wilderness. Being social and competent are assets that are undervalued

Good list I personally would add learn to process animals. One bad cut can spoil alot of meat.

Solid practical advice, though water scarcity is often underestimated as a systemic risk—not just an individual prep challenge. I recently read how droughts and dam politics are becoming leverage in conflicts, turning water into a weapon. Your filtration kit is wise, but regional shortages could m...
