Prepared but not a Prepper : 10 Things to Do!

[@AbeDehili]

Excellent. Thank you for your advice. We really do appreciate it. God Bless !

[@mbcrandell7766]

I am old and I was Raised to have a working pantry. Items are rotated und used regularly. I preserve foods that I grow as well as some that I buy…meats, fruit & veggies. I smoke some meats. Indoors I use led growlights for some plants as well as salad veggies, micro greens & culinary Herbs. Outdoors are the teas, onions, ginger & the like I also have a little mandarin orange tree that goes outdoors in spring and comes in for fall. When buying canned food buy the things you use and keep plenty on hand. Replace as you use. I store water as well in different ways. First you have to have a way to purify your water. For non food items, detergent, soap, fabric softener is good you k ow how much you need. A well stocked toolbox is always a good plan. Meds, over the counter meds you will need. There is more of course. Fishing gear, hunting gear and a good first aid kit. I hear my home with kerosene or propane. I also build modified rocket stove you can use indoors without venting. It will heat food for you as well. You will need to decide what you need for self defense and keep it on hand. I also keep my trunk packed with everything I need incase I have to get out of Dodge. Also have that one backpack to grab in case it’s a grab & go.

One of my favorite preps is a package of rechargeable flashlights that I have. They are plugged into two outlets in my home. My bedroom and one location on the ground floor of my home. They plug directly into the outlet. When the power goes out, the light up! I can easily find it when the house is dark, unplug it, turn it off, and carry it with me for as long as I need it. we’ve had a couple of nighttime power outages lately, and this is proved to be a great addition to my preps.

[@aimeeinjapan6575]

I think many people buy extra food and toiletries to make it through winter storm season, etc. Those storms are not the end of the world, but they will keep you from getting to the grocery store. My husband and I always bought 3 months worth of toilet paper so that if we could not get to the grocery store for a long time during winter ice storms, we would not run out of at least that one essential. In truth, we probably had enough of everything to last for 6 months. It meant neither of us had to risk having an accident on slippery roads or falling in cracking our heads open in an icy parking lot. It's just a very good feeling to know you don't have to go out for anything.

I was just listening to swedish radio last night and they was talking about the same thing, people prepping but not being preppers. And they refered to what a swedish spokeperson in the milltary said, that people don't need to be preppers but at minimum all swedish need to put together a crisis box. But he also said we need to prepare for war, and sweden had just signed a contract with USA. letting USA put soldiers and weapons on swedish millitary bases. So swedish people should probably be prepping, becuase something is about to go down. The Russians just took out the GPS system for the south of sweden, so airplanes had problem navigating that area the other day. Swedes better buy that bunker!

I am a end of baby boomer, thru the sixty’s and seventy eighty’s we stared looking at the world and what people are doing to it. But I never prepped but wanted self sufficient living. Yet that turned into prepping what is called homesteading. But now I am retired watching all that is out there i am stocking survival prepping alls good. Here is my thinking is all of this creating the issues? We had fires here that destroyed a lot of homes thus what you prepped destroyed. I have been seeing all these homes were these people have passed on and there is tons of worthless stuff stored away now rotten. The question to what point is to much? When we live in fear? Not being naive, I am loaded for bear and then some. I just feel some of it is self fulfilling prophecy? Creating more and more divisions , fear.

Regarding city or county sewer service failure, have a back flow prevention valve installed. As long as the sewer system is operating properly your house waste should work normally. However, if/when the system is full and not discharging normally your house sewer is no longer functioning.

[@StirlingQShagnasty]

All new sewage/waste water systems in the US that are code compliant have a lower clean out that is actually used to test the system as part of the inspection process. There is a plug that you can buy at your local big box home improvement store that can be used to isolate your system.

[@chrisc0276]

if you have a basement or floor with drains, you can get what is called a bung plug that will block the sewage from coming up, or things from going down. But every drain in your house can allow sewage to back up into your house. even new houses can allow sewage to come in unless there is a "backflow preventor" at the entry of your house. this is very rare however.

[@denniseasom5432]

[@EevaL.-em3eq]

I agree with you 100%. In our country, flooding is not a every year thing but snow can be around 3 days before trucks are finally able to get to you in countrysides. Prepping is a key. It has been 4 weeks non stop weather changes. The Weatherman likes Fridays.😂 We had icy roads, windy road, snowstrom and a lot if snow (20cm) just yesterday. So, 3 days evacuation food does not work, it has to be one month min for everything.

[@ameriicanprepper5813]

I recommend three things for your car such as Amazon Survival Kit (216 piece kit recommended), Emergency SOS Tent, Emergency Sleeping Bag. All three are small and fits into your car and you can survive in the elements for a few days with just that. At home concentrate on stocking up on some of the essential's like sugar (2 year supply, 1 2LB bag per month rationing) so this would be 24 Bags stored in Mylar Bags no o2 ABORBER on sugar or salt. The second essential is powdered Milk (Amazon sells Augustin Farms $14 a 10oz can) I recommend 4 cans, Augustin farms Freeze dried eggs, Augustin Farms Powered Butter. So the essential's should be Milk, Butter, Sugar, Eggs. You can separate the Medical Supplies from the Survival kit and put it into a separate medical bag.

[@rcampbell4967]

Great direction. I'd pick different manufacturers (see the Mormons aka Later Day Saints recommendations. They actually have stores in major metropolitan areas) recommendations. And quantifying in years can be problematic for some. I advise people just buy extra of what you normally eat with maybe some adjustments. Example, instead of frozen vegetables, consider canned.

I need to build a sugar shack for honey, fruit, syrup, berries, jams, and jellies. I did get the piers and foundation hand dug for the cottage. And have some of the timber for the timber frame.

Attempting to take care of others without the ability to take care of self first is ill-advised. Once "you" have squared away self, you can reach out to others and help the less fortunate. This does not mean living on a island, isolated or unwilling to contribute... On the contrary it means once you have the provisions, skills, mental and emotional fortitude then giving to others is a grand thing. Again, expecting others to take care of "you" when you have the ability is selfish in my opinion. To your point, not everything can be self contained and I have not advocated that. Your leap of faith on self preservation vs selfless acts is outside the scope of this discussion as the expectation is a choice of self vs others which is a moral question. My point again... expecting others to care for you when "you" have the ability to care for self is selfish. Square yourself away first so "you" can be generous with time, talent and treasure to others less fortunate.

@@Starlight_fire34 To follow up on the airplane. The point of putting on your mask first is to ensure you have the ability to help others. Passing out and dying defeats the goal and only ensures all die. If only one mask is available, giving to another becomes an heroic act, but dying and not helping others is likely not prudent... Which again is why the airlines says to put your own on first, get squared away, then help others. Expecting others to put your mask on when you have the ability and not willing; then expecting them to help your kids is selfish. Many expect others will provide, fight and give without contribution and I think that is wrong. Your millage may vary.

I have no desire to be completely self-sufficient, until I HAVE to be. The time commitment it takes to grow your food and tend to animals leaves you with no time for travels or enjoying much else in life. I do add new food to the gardens each year so that IF the time comes, we can fend for ourselves…but in the meantime, I’m going to enjoy the luxuries we have! 😉

I use to be a chef for 25 yrs then I got hurt way before the pandemic 2017/ took up architecture bought my 1st pew pew at 51 2021.!I am now a Doomsday prepper I live in Los Angeles go figure

[@SteveAustin-jp3ev]

I left West Los Angeles in 1983. Never been back. I suggest you start brainstorming on how to leave California. If you have excuses and procrastinate you're a fool. Currently smog , traffic, earthquakes, illegal aliens, taxes , etc. What is a pew pew ?? I now live in Western North Carolina. I have two creeks running year round on my two acres. I'll pray you awaken to your inevitable danger. Get your vehicles in order . Plan to move. God bless

Prepared non preppers. Isn't that like a homesteader?

[@bigchief4044]

‘Prepper’s’ are mentally ill, paranoid and easily manipulated. “Prepared non-preppers” are just normal people.

I consider myself an avid pepper. After 4 years of trying to convince, my better half has finally gotten majorly on board with me. I live very rural. With a deep well.. storing water even growing up as a child was a life taught lesson.. I thought I'd been prepared.. We currently have not had water for 18 days.. one issue after another with 60 year old water lines and mis matched lines from 4 different houses (long story short). We have often said, okay this weekend we're going too "test our preps" with relying only on our back up plans. It's no comparison. Guys there is a huge difference in testing "knowing you can revert to normal living" than being stuck. The ability to conserve water for proper cleansing, dishes, clothes, and using the restroom is unbearable.... I don't think people have a true grasp of reality on water conservation.. everyone thinks food, ammo, medical first while in panic buying.

I take a shower once a month whether I need one or not.

In a shtf scenario the more you have the more the government can confiscate from you

[@kiddlesnmore2]

HA!!! Only if they get past security and then they have to find it.

Glocks like always....are great out of the box! Want a lego gun...go buy a 1911.

[@TheParallelSound]

1911 is solid steel. 1911's will outlast any Glock if you maintain it.

[@SteveAustin-jp3ev]

​@@TheParallelSoundthey both last.
