If you were a prepper you would have been saving your pennies! Been saying this since 2015. #preppertalk happypreppers.com/copper.htm…

Stock up on butter. Freeze butter, get dehydrated butter powder, buy butter in a can! BUTTER IN A CAN? Yes, canned butter that’s ready to eat. #preppertalk happypreppers.com/butter.htm…

I have been saying this for so long: aluminum is toxic! #preppertalk happypreppers.com/aluminum.h…

People in Alaska store PILOT BREAD. Also sometimes calked Pilot crackers or hard tack. #preppertalk

Do you have redundancy in your cooking? Eating is important! You want to make sure you have a way to cook all the food you are stockpiling. You need to think about this in layers. When we think about cooking, we always think we will have our full kitchen. It's nice to think we will have our electrical stoves, ovens, microwaves and all the gadgets that make cooking easier. We usually have tons of space and ways to keep our areas clean. That might not be the case in a grid down or emergency situation. The most important thing is to think about how you will cook or heat up your food. You might also need to boil water to make it safe to drink. Again, think in layers! Start out with your typical kitchen appliances. That is your first layer. But what if the power is out? Even if you have a gas stove, you might not want to cook indoors because it will heat up the house. So then you go to the next option! The next option could be the stove top burner on your propane grill. This is a very convenient way to heat up a pot of whatever you are cooking. Next, you could move to a camping stove, like a Coleman. You can find these at garage sales for cheap and use the small one pound propane tanks. There is also an adapter that you can buy that will connect a 20 pound tank to your stove. Then, you could go to a butane stove. The Gas One stove is inexpensive and the butane cans are easy to store. From here, you could go to smaller burners that take a one pound propane tank, the kind a hiker might use. These will only hold a small pot, but it is enough for a single serving or to boil water. Lastly, you can always build a fire or some variation, like a rocket stove. You'll need to have wood to burn, but for most people, this isn't too difficult. Cooking is a preparedness piece that you should understand and have redundancy on. It's not difficult to do, you just need to acquire the cooking methods and practice a little. How many ways do you have to cook your meals in an emergency? #prepfutute #preppers #preppertalk #cooking #redundancy

The concept of the gray man and Operational Security or OPSEC go hand in hand. Preppers are concerned that if they are open about their preparedness efforts, that they will be targeted by bad players who aren't prepared when the SHTF. But it might not just be bad players! What happens to regular people when they get desperate? But this fear also keeps preppers from talking to others about being prepared, helping them to understand the importance of and giving good, practical advice. The truth is you can talk about being prepared and why it is so important, especially in our day, without giving away an inventory of your preps! For example, talking about hurricanes is something everyone on the coast can identify with. Talking about being prepared for a blizzard or big winter weather event is something that people up north understand! You can talk about being prepared for these events and still have OPSEC! There are also plenty of other natural disasters that people have experienced lately like floods and huge fires. These would be a reason to bug out. This brings up an opportunity to talk about bug out bags. The issue is that rational people will understand the importance of being prepared. They might need help understanding how to move forward, but they will understand the need. If you find yourself talking to someone who just doesn't get it, just drop it and move on! The more people that get prepared, the more people we don't have to worry about during SHTF. But you don't want to waste your time talking to a brick wall! #prepfuture #preppers #preppertalk #opsec

Medical preparedness is a part of preparedness that many aren't truly prepped for. The reason for this is that medical preparedness is a little bit more technical than food storage or water filtration. Now there are parts of first-aid that are easy to understand. A burn, blister, sprain, even a broken arm is easy to diagnose. But when you think about how far medicine has come in the last 100 years, you just don’t get that level of knowledge and understanding from watching YouTube videos only! But preppers should do what they can do and prepare the most they can for medical emergencies. At the basic level, you should prep over the counter medicines and first-aid items like bandages, tape, gauze, etc… These are easy to acquire and obtain at this time. Then, individuals can take first-aid and CPR classes. Some organizations offer even more advanced classes that can be taken. Some preppers choose to take classes that could get them certified as a paramedic. Some preppers choose to learn about the healing properties of herbal medicine and some use essential oils. But you need to understand that the more advanced procedures, the kind that you go to the hospital or doctor for, will not be available in a true #TEOTWAWKI scenario. Another aspect of medical preparedness is that what you think will be enough, won’t be. A family will go through their medical preps faster than they realize. Even a small situation will eat through gauze and tape. If medical preparedness is something that is important to you, then you should prepare an area of your home, like a big closet, and keep it stocked as much as possible. The items you can stock here will be valuable to you if there ever was a true SHTF situation. #prepfuture #preppers #preppertalk

Something useful that every prepper should stock: Borax! #preppertalk happypreppers.com/Borax.html

Have you advanced your preparedness goals since last year? The new year gives you the perfect opportunity to reassess your plan and see where you might have holes. Think about food, retreat setup, self-protection, medical supplies, harvesting your own food, getting enough water, and learning a new skill. Now let's look forward to what 2025 brings and be prepared in case it wasn't what we were expecting. #bugout #preparedness #prepper #preppertalk #survival #shtf #shtfready #mountains #offgrid #offgridliving #apocolypse

I have talked about this before. Mill and company towns that no longer have a business providing income. Add to the new thought about using robots to restart old factories. #preppers #PrepperTalk
