Are you going to sit back and wait to see what
blow they deal you, your family and your community?
What
exactly do our so called “leaders” have planned for us? This is an especially
critical question today given the chaos and devastation of the last two years.
You don’t think they’re actually going to just give up their “emergency powers”
after all of this, do you? When have the government and power players ever...
Prepping For
Newbies | How To Start Prepping With Our Beginner Prepper Checklist
In the blink of an eye chaos can break out and throw you out of
your normal routine. When this happens people panic trying to prepare for the
event after the fact.
Those who aren't panicking took the necessary steps to prepare
for these events ahead of time. Learning how to start the process of prepping
for beginners without all the overwhelm and confusion.
In this article we detail how you can begin the process of
preparing as a beginner.
How to Start Prepping for Beginners
As a beginner in the prepping world you must start with a solid
foundation. This means you need to understand and prepare for any emergency
situation. Some situations will be evergreen and standard for all preppers.
Other situations will be more specific to where you live and the
events that can take place. For example, living on the west coast, wildfires
are much more likely than if you live in the midwest.
Same goes for living in a coastal state like Florida. The
chances you will experience a hurricane are much higher than a blizzard. Below
we detail 6 basic steps for prepping as a beginner that will start you on the
right path.
The Beginner Prepper Checklist
1. Build a solid foundation
2.
Get
your home ready for two weeks of self-reliance
3.
Be
able to leave your home with only a moment’s notice (“bug out bags”)
4.
Prepare
for emergencies that happen away from home (“get home bags” and everyday carry)
5.
Learn
core skills and practice with your gear
6.
Share
and recruit while continuing to learn and going beyond the basics
Building a Solid Foundation
As a beginner in the prepping world building a solid foundation
is the first step on your journey. To build a solid foundation as a prepper you
need to start by stocking up on a few everyday essentials.
We like to refer to these items as evergreen products. Evergreen
products are water reserves, emergency food, first aid kits, hygiene products
and sanitation supplies. These are the first products every beginner prepper
should start with.
Food Prepping for Beginners
The first thing any beginning prepper should start to stock
is emergency food. Emergency food is freeze dried food that has a long shelf
life. This is food that you shouldn’t consider eating until necessary.
Emergency food can be the difference between panicking and peace
of mind. We recommend storing at least two weeks of emergency food.

SIDEBAR
According to some economists, we can expect this surge of
inflation to last at least through the next decade. It could be longer than
that. Financial gurus have been warning us about this economic meltdown since
the Great Recession, so we really shouldn’t be all that surprised.
There’s nothing that you or I can do to stop this from coming;
but there’s a lot we can do to prepare ourselves for it. We can weather it
fine, if we prepare. Mostly, that means cutting our expenses so that as prices
rise, we don’t hit a point where our outgo exceeds our income.
Let me just say here that the average American family spends
110% of their income, covering the rest with credit cards. That’s obviously
dangerous and especially dangerous in rough financial times. The people who
suffer the most are the ones with too much outstanding debt...

Dollar Tree added the $1.25 prices to more
than 2,000 stores in December (it has around 8,700 US stores), and Coresight said in a report that
its "decline in shopper numbers appears to coincide with its price
hike."
About 15% above the
average inflation rate…
"Does
NOT sit right with me."
"Calamity."
"Sick
to my stomach."
Dollar
Tree's recent decision to end $1 prices after 35 years and raise most items at
stores to $1.25 has elicited an angry response from many loyal customers on
Twitter, Facebook, TikTok and YouTube.
Video bloggers with
hundreds of thousands of followers posted videos of their reactions to the
price hike — or entering a store for the first time and seeing Dollar Tree's
ubiquitous green and yellow "Everything's $1" circles replaced with
$1.25 signs.

are several large ones out there. They provide free printable at home coupons,
rebates, gift cards, and other ways to both make money or save. The websites

We pretty much stopped going to Dollar Tree as we find many items we buy are still a buck at DOLLAR GENERAL
The vast majority of citizen lemmings will ignore messages such as this. Their idea of prepping is buy a new IPhone & let Biden give them handouts.
