I'm Puerto Rican and we grew up always saving some food to the side for an emergency. As an adult I found myself homeless with children and I went without so they could eat. I swore never again. I didn't know it was prepping until I moved to Wyoming and a Mormon neighbor taught me how to can fruit and veggies and her storage plan. Now all my children prep. We have never again gone without. We struggled and now own land and home. God has been good to us.

[@FrontierPreppers]

That is an amazing story of resilience and preparedness. Rock On! and Prep On! 👍

[@phild8095]

I hope your children are bilingual. Even In Wyoming it is a valuable skill to have.

I wanna go to Cuba for 2 reasons 1. To get some of those world famous cigars 2. To check out some of those far out old cars 😊

[@suetampabayfl187]

I've been without food a few times in the past and it was not fun. I prep so that I don't go through it again. God bless 👍👍😃❤️🙏🎄

[@FrontierPreppers]

I hear you, Rock On! and Prep On! 👍

Eliminates boredom

Where we live it gets real cold and the snow can real deep. We prep for when the power goes out, be it an hour, a day or ten days. It doesn't take much to be on your own for an extended time, summer or winter. Our parents and grandparents lived the same way. This life style is the way everyone from around here lives.

Evening everyone

[@yarnprepper]

I’m with you brother. I always did it, it was the way my dad raised me. I see now that he’s gone, it was all him, as my mom thinks I’m crazy and still shops 1-2 times every week. When I lost my job in 2012 we lived off our preps until we stabilized. Then we ramped up and never stopped. It brings joy to my heart that my youngest daughter is now changing the way she shops.

[@FrontierPreppers]

That's awesome! Rock On! and Prep On! 👍

Good evening friends.

Hello 👋

[@gregh9812]

Well... for the past 13-14 years I've been on a local Mens Team and the Hawkeye Tribe (white Men mainly). We circle up each week, usually around a fire, cook beef-on-stick-of-fire, and point a mirror at each other when it comes to the 'problems' we face particularly around women. With that context I'll share my Purpose. "To forge an abundance mindset for me and my community, so that we experience the joys of life." As to my why I prep.... well... After watching zeitgeist 1 the documentary and learning about Money 'Federal Reserve System' and 9/11, it hit me like a baseball bat in the head. No turning back. that was about 17 years ago. I prep for many, many reasons. The main reason is most likely so that I can fulfill my Purpose. Love this channel.

[@phild8095]

I've seen hard times. My parents saw hard times. Their parents saw hard times. I should be ready for hard times. Or my family just draws hard times. I can't tell, either way, I have to be ready.

[@southernyankeeprepper]

Most serious preppers turn into homesteaders. I did. I don't have much on an acre and half but enough room to do several projects. Homesteading is fun as well

[@domvdg]

Good video brother. I wish everyone who came to Alaska had your perspective, instead of trying to bring San Francisco and Seattle here...

[@FrontierPreppers]

No doubt!

[@BigSawCat]

From Montana originally, live in a hurricane zone. I hate the government. I starved when living off grid so now I have 3 years of food

[@michaelfranks341]

When I was kid in school in the early 90's people had guns in their trucks at school. No one questioned anything

[@howieoutdoors]

We were raised poor, but we never felt that way, That’s where I learned to fix things rather than getting a new one, wore patched britches and shirts, school clothes off the minute you got home. Change and time for chores…

[@FrontierPreppers]

Rock On! and Prep On! 👍

[@davidallcock6316]

We started many years ago...not as preppers as such but we started to buy stuff in bulk from wholesalers...much cheaper...now we prep for emergencies...no not necessarily dooms day or the end of the world...many things can happen ...power outage...flood...etc...ive been unemployed for a while ...I've had cancer and surgery chemo etc...or preps have helped us greatly to keep going without worrying where our next meal comes from....we continue to prep...always...not even large scale..just put some extra away every month..

[@FrontierPreppers]

[@howieoutdoors]

Guess I’ve been prepping my whole life , more or less, yes I agree family first….

[@FrontierPreppers]

Rock On! and Prep On! 👍

[@black_dragon-carpentry]

I grew up poor. Not enough or sometimes any food. As in I had to steal my neighbours pet ducks and cook them with branches from another neighbours mesquite tree. I had to ride a bicycle 3 miles to a canal to get water to drink. I was also a boyscout ( be prepared ) I don't ever wanna be that hungry and powerless again. As I got older my priorities have shifted and lessened but still there.

[@greyballer1671]

I prep because the only thing I am affraid of is being helpless or a victem. I dont assume ill come out on top in an emergency, but I will be fine until I'm not. My worst fear is to have no food and no security if things go off the rails. On the bright side, I have lots of preps in case prices or availability gets crazy

[@FrontierPreppers]

That is a great perspective. Rock On! and Prep On! 👍

[@Boone22]

Many here remember the 1970's reset, when only Government workers was working beside restaurant employees. Than,it was illegal to sell your own firewood from your own property. So many people filed for welfare. Fuel prices soared. Food prices spiked. I was a teenager living on my own, min wage was $1.35 an hour. It was a horrible experience, I swore I would never go through that again.

[@FrontierPreppers]

That is an important lesson for anyone who is concerned about a similar situation happening in the future. 👍

[@Thoreau-e4l]

Couldn't sell your own firewood? Where was this?

[@howieoutdoors]

Brother if I was younger and single, Alaska would be my home. At 70 with a handicapped wife it’s just not possible

[@FrontierPreppers]

I hear you 👍👍

[@Rickwaves1]

so i don't have to leave my home / land for as long as i want

[@arminiuschatti2287]

I prep so I will not revert to the animal I became in Iraq. Scraping human flesh out of my shoes and killing was just “what happened.” My family and neighbors depend on it.

[@nancywest1926]

I never heard the word prepper until 2020 and thought "There's a name for this?". It was just good common sense planning, for any occasion before that. Then the cool gear and hype salesmen jumped on the bandwagon, sadly, and it gpt a bad reputation. To me, it was just life.

[@FrontierPreppers]

I hear you. Rock On! and Prep On! 👍

[@mikebaugh4966]

Just common sense in life family safety and not doing without in a crises. Nothing new in reality

[@FrontierPreppers]

👍👍

Hey. Great seeing you this weekend. I was the guy with the 2A hat. I came to the US when I was 14. Where I grew up we were a minimum of 8-10 hours of jungle travel from civilization so my parents had to be ready and able to do everything on their own to survive. I learned hunting and gathering from my "tribe" and medicine, [English], life-skills and "prepping" from my parents. As a child it was not uncommon to be a 9 or 10-year-old and stranded on the other side of the "creek" after a rainstorm up-country we couldn't even see, requiring I build a shelter for the night (or 3) while the water went down. As a parent in America today I have no idea how my parents dealt with that - no cell phones, no comms except hand-whistles - to let them know I was safe. But, because of that I have ensured my family has the skills required to do what's necessary to survive and thrive. I "prep" because it is my responsibility to ensure the safety and well-being of my family. I "prep" because I don't always know exactly what's coming in the future. In the past I've found it necessary to go almost 6 months without food shopping because of a financial disaster. I've had to survive without grid power for days at -50°. I've had to treat severe 3rd-degree burns at home and act as nursemaid to my wife for 6+ months after she was in a plane-crash. You never know what might happen. All *I* know is something WILL happen. It's my responsibility as a man and as the man of the house to not only ensure we are prepared, but that my family is educated and supplied with what they might need for as many situation as possible even if I'm not around. Take it from me: it only takes one time being faced with a dire situation you failed to prepared for to make sure that never happens to you again. Keep up the good work! Maybe someday we can connect up. Be well, my friend.

[@FrontierPreppers]

Thank you for sharing and taking the time to say hello. I truly enjoy connecting with the community! Rock on and Prep on! 👍
