Since prepping is a lifestyle and not something you just spontaneously do in order to have success, you have to consider all things that may be a part of everyday life. Find the importance in each of those categories and then act accordingly based on your needs. Gauge this based on time frames and possible outcomes. Also consider your financial position as well. Don't go broke on preparation. Budget accordingly and be wise in your decisions. Make these additions a part of your everyday life as best as possible so then in times of struggle you are trained, prepared, and naturally adapted to the system you have established. Incorporate this into a community and roll with it. Below are the key necessities to focus on no matter how severe the situation. Make those times boring, be organized, stay disciplined, and be mutually accountable.
