A few months ago, I wrote a post on What This Prepper Buys: A Trip To The Store With Me. I wanted to give you all an idea on what I purchase for my preps and my everyday life. Since I use my preps in my daily life, I buy a lot of things knowing I can and will use them in both. Since then, I have had some requests to do more of these posts and maybe explain why I…
Have you heard this phrase?“I have a gun! I don’t need anything else!”For someone who believes in being a well-rounded prepper, this phrase really grates on me. Am I anti-gun? Heck no! I believe in having guns for self-defense and hunting. I believe they are a great tool to have when the situation calls for their necessity.For those people who think having a gun is all they need to survive a SHTF situtaion, well…they aren’t thinking clearly.

I love these places for filling in the holes in my preps as well as adding to them….

I know some preppers don’t like to buy online because it is easier to track what is purchased,…
As crazy as it seems, some people make prepping harder than it has to be. Learning skills can be hard, but the end rewards are so worth it. The work can be hard, but the pay off is that jobs get done and you have accomplished something for the future.However…preppers still need stuff.
