All of us at one time or another think about "what ifs." The fact is that because of our planning for some of the "what ifs" in life we have things that we purchase or do to prepare for them. Things like life insurance, auto insurance, medical insurance, disability insurance, and even unemployment insurance are there for the accidents, emergencies, and bumps in life.   There are some who protect or prepare for life's curves by being particular about what they eat or use in the way of household...

Prepping...it's a positive thing. Being a post depression baby, the youngest of seven children, I’ve always admired survivors’. You know, those individuals who when life throws them a curve, knocks them down, they get up, dust themselves off and get back into the game of life. I saw, “Waste Not, Want Not” lived out on a daily basis and still stand in awe of my parents for having survived the so called, great depression. I’m sure it was providential for me to learn the practical common sense way...

I am one of those people that the world calls "Physically Disabled". However, my physical limitations do not prevent me from doing things to take care of myself in an emergency situation.  Lack of physical strength will never deter me from doing everything I can to be self-sufficient.  Food Storage does not have to come in large sizes, it can be stored in smaller, easier to handle packaging. Everything about prepping can be done by ANYONE, no matter what your personal circumstances are.   A...

I have read with fascination the stories about prepping. I think most of us fall into the category of "it is just a way of life with us". My mom always had a large food storage. It took up many shelves in the garage instead of a car. I remember the feeling as a little girl when mom would send me out to the food storage to get something. It was a feeling of peace and security. I never had to worry if we would be hungry. I knew we wouldn't, because my parents prepared. When you grow up with...

Top 10: You Know You Married a Frugal Prepper If... 10.) Your wife scours neighbor's refuse, dumpsters, and roadsides (sometimes roads) the night before garbage pick-up day.  She even gives the stink-eye to like-minded people who are out trash-picking and is known to come home from a run early to grab the car and bring some unnecessary thing home. 9.) Your wife has decided that the basement (in our present and first home) need not house exercise equipment, shop tools, or "man cave"-like...

The reason I prep is approximately 26 inches long and weighs about 13 ½ pounds.  When I walk into the room, it lights up when she smiles at me and is terribly excited to see me.  It is my job to make sure that she has love, shelter, food, clothing, and the other necessities of life.  Very few people would think that it is unreasonable for me to start a college fund for her at this age and I consider this just another form of prepping.   During my fifty-four years living in Tennessee, I have...

It all started with the collapse of a pantry shelf and we realized that some of our cans were not of this century. Food rotation that's the answer, I think I saw something at the bulk food warehouse, "must research on the web." This led to the discovery of freeze dried food, lightweight and long-life--a great tool for emergencies. I got the idea of having a few days supplies in a pack for emergencies; "must research MREs on the web." This web thing just might take off. Not just for looking up "...

Nobody wants to be afraid. Most people wear blinders to threats of natural disaster and civil strife. Pretending everything will be fine and nothing can or will happen to them. You either will live in fear and do what the "Joneses" do or you will PREP. I have FINALLY chosen to prep. Had you mentioned the word Prepping to me a year ago I would of thought you were nuts and belong in a looney bin. I mean prepping for the end of the world, are you kidding me? what are the odds and why would I prep...

Failing to prepare equates to preparing to fail. Lately we have been inundated with reasons to prepare from the ridiculous zombie hordes to the more probable economic collapse. Unfortunately, while people are so concerned with scenarios that are remote in their probability they fail to look at simple things like job loss or a health crisis. I have been preparing since the early 1990's and doing so has kept my family from starving or being homeless after I was in a head on collision in...
