I'd go on Bear's YouTube channel and watch his "Prepper Classroom" series of videos. He goes over all the stuff.
Having the things is important... having skills is more important. Start prepping YOU... learn how to do things "the old fashioned way". Train. Start a garden. Learn to shoot, sew, orienteer. Learn to can and cook food. Learn carpentry and tools, animal husbandry / butchering, bushcraft, commo, medical...
There are some basic principles to consider when prepping. They are:
1. Mindset / Knowledge / Getting Right With Your Higher Power
2. Shelter
3. Water
4. Fire
5. Food
6. Security
These are not necessarily in the order that they should be, and you will need to prioritize these considerations to fit your individual circumstances. I would encourage you to do something to prep and not do "nothing." Start small and let it grow to where you need it.
well stated mogwai925. simply start by buying a sawyer mini water filter, or something along that line. now you have a long supply of water filtration, then research how to filter water without it; next, you can buy yourself a fire starter, then research how to start fires without it; then go to walmart and buy a food grade bucket with a rubber sealing lid and enough pinto beans to fill it and then order some 2000cc oxygen absorbers from Amazon, fill it up, put the O2 absorber in the middle, seal it, and you a prepper. Now, get on line and research edible plants/weeds in your area. you have your reserve, but bad scenario you are now equipped to leave it all behind quickly and survive. nomadic shelter can be a hole in a bank/tree roots, etc. being a prepper, being prepared, is not that hard. getting started is the hardest part.
If you haven't done anything like boyscouts, get one of their handbooks. It's not just a guide on conduct, it's full of good basic survival and preparedness advice. I was a boyscout and kept my handbook. Lot's of good stuff in there!
