Prepping Is Crucial.

Prepping is crucial. How prepared someone is, or isn't, will definitely make or break anyone in any worst case scenario. Whether it be for the possibilities and fears of unemployment, government collapse, terrorist attacks, natural disasters, pandemic threats, or a forever talked about zombie apocalypse (In my mind zombies are classified in 2 groups, those who aren't prepared and individuals devoured by some spreading pandemic, not actual flesh and brain eating zombies like the movies... but who knows), now is as good a time as any to get started if you haven't already. But how?

If you're anything like I was a couple years ago, you may not know where to begin, but you know for sure it's time to get started. I began by focusing on five main areas that are important for survival. You need to think about and familiarize yourself with forms of shelter, food and water, health and hygiene, protection and defense, and last but most definitely not least, valuable skills. Sounds pretty basic, right? Keep in mind that each one of these main areas have numerous topics, each of those topic have sub-topics, and so on down the prepping and survival line. You just need to begin with the basic version of each, and work your way in. Remember, an abundance of knowledge and preparation can never be a bad thing, but lack thereof can only lead to failure (in worst case scenarios, failure could very well be death).

One more thing before we get started, and any well seasoned prepper knows this. There are numerous ways to go about everything you do, for example purifying water. You could just stock up on bottled waters, and get some purifying drops and tablets, right? Wrong! While this is good for making it through a short period of time, what are you going to do if things take longer to get back in order and you run out first? You better figure out how long you have to boil water in order for it to be drinkable, and check into some filtration and purification system too. It's better to have multiple options that you can use, even if you don't end up needing them. You never know what you'll face until it smacks you in yours... by then it's probably going to be too late to try and figure it all out.
