My experience with preppers began with a random video on Youtube that I saw about a woman's 72 hour kit. She was an LDS believer and I didn't know at the time that there is a large part of that community that does an excellent job at prepping and storing food. This automatically inspired me because it resonated with me how close we could potentially be to a situation where we would need these items.
It wasn't until a few weeks later that I got up the nerve to bring this up to my husband and surprisingly he was receptive. We are now to the point where we recognize that we need to start actually buying items. This feels like a HUGE step. It's like they say that the biggest step for an addict is admitting that they are an addict - the biggest step for me is making a list of items that we would need and starting to buy them.
This is my goal for this week - make a list of items that we would need for a SHTF plan. I will publish my list next week and will definitely be up to sharing lists with other folks and taking advice from others about items that should or should not be on that list. I am 'liked' to a few pages on Facebook about homesteading, prepping and stockpiling, so I think that I have a good jumping off point of what should be on a list like this, but we will see what I come up with.
I am not sure of the consistency of these blog posts, but I would ultimately like to blog on here once per week, if not more. I have a few ideas of my next few blogs, but would definitely be up to some feedback.
