Just what the internet needs is another prepper end of the world zombie craziness website right? 🙂
You’re in luck, this site is more to support our Youtube channel. We try to focus on everyday things you can do to prepare for possible unforeseen circumstances. These issues could be something as simple as a minor cut on a picnic or even an extended power outage during the winter. With all the stuff happening around the world, ANYTHING you can do right now can only help you later.
We created the channel and simple site as a place people can go to get information on what they can do today, tomorrow, and beyond. There are so many prepper / survivor channels out there that report the end of the world and then push their survival merch... It is easy to start going over-board with this or that.
As we do research or find something we think is helpful, we will share that with you. If you already got 10 years of food and supplies in your underground silo… this site may not be for you. Some people may think the information may be a little extreme or may not go nearly far enough. The important thing is you just start with something TODAY.
Here’s where any good prepper checklist starts.
There are some basics that are universal to every checklist. These include water, food, and medication. Almost everything else is going to change based on your circumstances and what you’re preparing for. Not everyone has the same risk assessment or threat model. If you just start prepping without thinking about what you are prepping for, you are getting ready to face someone else’s crisis.
This should start with thinking about the needs of yourself, your family, and anyone else that’s going to be in your group. If you have kids, for example, you’re going to need to change your prepping strategies to accommodate their needs too.Is there any special diet someone needs? What about daily medication or medical equipment that needs to be powered?
The type of disaster you’re preparing for is also going to shape how you put together your complete prepper checklist. If you’re preparing for a natural disaster, such as a coastal hurricane, you’re going to have a different checklist than someone who is preparing for a biological issue.
According to the CDC, three days is the average length of time for most crisis situations. After three days, people can start to expect supply chains to come back together and life to slowly return to normal. A 72hr prepper checklist is a basic starting point that everyone should have in mind.
Now that you have got a three day kit, great... lets expand it a bit. What if it is winter or summer time? Maybe an additional person is visiting from out of town? What if all services are also down(water/sewer/power)? What else would you need to add to make it a week? Two weeks? What if you have to leave your house... do you have a bug-out-bag or bug-out-car?
EDC is Everyday Carry… the things you have with you all the time every day. The main reasons for having EDC are utility and preparedness; to help individuals overcome simple everyday problems, including possible emergency situations. Some of the most common EDC items are wallets, keyrings, phones, watches, knives, flashlights, multitools, notebooks, and pens.
