SOME IMPORTANT ITEMS YOU MAY NEED THIS WINTER……AND BEYOND

[@PassingThrough-p3l]

Sleeping bags for cold climates. Preferably the bags that go to zero or below for when the electricity goes out. They're also handy if you just want to keep your heat low at night to save energy and money.

Hi Belle! My busband was prepping before we got married 6 years ago. Then when the pandemic came, it was over!!😂😂😂 We have enough food and paper products for an army plus a large bin full of supplies i.e. first aid supplies, soap, matches, batteries, rope, lanterns, duct tape, can opener, deodorant, shower gel, alcohol, hydrogen peroxide, cough medicine, Tylenol, Motrin, candles, (but those are only if the lanterns don't work for some reason,) sanitizing wipes, baby wipes, freeze dried paper towels, long lighters, plastic sheeting, twine, large metal hooks, Vaseline, scissors, laundry detergent, etc.etc. There's a lot more, but these are what I remember off the top of my head. We even have tiny bottles of liquor to trade with or use for emergency first aid. We live in Michigan and I'm keeping some of my too large sweaters for emergencies also. I normally donate all of them, but now is the time to just keep some for a change. It's fun to me to gather this stuff to save for emergency purposes. I like to think I'm ready, but there is always more I can add.❤

I LOVE your list! You and your husband and family are very prepared! An impressive and very important mindset for the times we live in. Additionally, think of all the money you have saved as prices continue to escalate! I hope more people will read your comment to learn what they too could prep. They need to be encouraged that being prepared is necessary for peace of mind in the days ahead!

​@@Bellesplace50sThanks Belle! During the pandemic I started watching other preppers here on KZbin. They gave great advice on supplies to have in addition to staple food items. I continue to purchase items when I shop. One needn't buy everything all at once. This can be done little by little over time. A lot of things, like those long lighters, can be purchased in expensively at Dollar Tree. All I say to anyone starting to prepare, is start NOW!

​@@Bellesplace50sOh, and of course we have tons of toilet paper! 🧻 🧻🧻🧻🧻😂

Yes yes yes! Start now! You are so right! Thank you for your comments. 👍
