To be a prepper, means to take the need to be ready, prepared that is, in the event of a global disaster seriously. That entails having needed supplies and having taken the time to think ahead as to what those needed supplies might be, which means envisioning scenarios and problems and ways that you and your family may go about circumventing and solving them. This is all standard prepper stuff. Will water be low? then its necessary to think about having a supply, or a natural source, or a means to purify a less than perfect source. While all of this is good, it leaves out one crucial step. Reality. Naturally, you are not currently living without fresh water, trekking through the woods, boiling water, doing any of the things that you may have envisioned having to do in the global crisis event. But, it’s a good idea. There’s a reason that every show has a rehearsal. Nothing points out the flaws in a system like a dry run. So, it’s a good idea to make sure you have actually used those products that you envision possibly having to use, tried living off the grid if that’s what you envision doing, and basically putting into concrete action now whatever you can, so you can see how it pans out and if you really are prepped thoroughly.
Key Takeaways:
- An important part of being a prepper is planning, that is envisioning apocalyptic scenarios and using that as a template to choose and gather item you envision will be necessary.
- While its a good idea to envision what you will need to do and what you will need to do it with, nothing prepares like a dry run.
- Now is the time to attempt to use unfamiliar items and try living in ways that are foreign to our modern style of living.
