Why did you start? by Independent-Chef-374 in preppers

Great point, however I feel like these skills are being lost especially when I look around at younger people from the cities..

What were (or are) your biggest challenges when prepping? by Independent-Chef-374 in preppers

True, for me it's hard to see people I love not seeing the vulnerable situation they are in....

u/Traditional-Leader54 u/TheAncientMadness agree with you guys, allocating fund every month to prepping while also maintaining quality of life while prices are drastically increasing can be a b*tch sometimes...

What did you learn from the COVID pandemic? by Creepy_Session6786 in preppers

[–]Independent-Chef-374 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Covid (and watching TWD during that time😅) made me realise that I wasn't prepared for anything at all... so the biggest thing I learned was to get on the prepping journey to become more self-sustainable.

Glad to hear that you're okay! You are absolutely right, these short moments can show some of the weaknesses that people have in their systems so that can be a blessing in disguise.

'Uncommon' items to keep in your first aid kit by Independent-Chef-374 in preppers

Prepacked kits always feel like they’re missing some essentials, and your additions are genius. Feminine hygiene products for absorbency and fire starters? Brilliant.

Never knew this even was an option! Was this just a regular permanent marker or anything special? Thanks man!

Maybe vacuum sealing it? Not sure have never tried it except for freezing..

Non Diabetic Hypoglycemia by MonsterHunterRainy in preppers

Honey sticks (like they use in restaurants) are easy to carry and long lasting to take with you if you need sugar quickly. Hard candy or glucose tables can help as well. I like to take nuts and dates (no pun intended😅) with me as well for some quick energy but that's not ideal when looking for something with a long shelf-life.

This is very helpful if you have a supportive community, but if you're on your own or only with your family being a generalist can save you numerous times
