There is a short, easy to read article over at Smart Prepper that provides a straight forward list of do’s and don’ts if your thinking about going this route. Worth the read.
7 Valuable Lessons I’ve learned as a prepper
1.Preparedness is a lifestyle developed by a shifted mindset
In the preparedness community there is a big misconception or belief that preparedness is all about buying beans, bullets and bullion. Unfortunately, you can never buy your way to preparedness. Preppers should focus more on survival first then develop a plan on purchasing gear and supplies to assist in that plan
2. It is more than about bugging out
3 .Goals supported by strategic plans are essential
4. Don’t fall for the “tacticool” fade
5. You’ll never be 100% prepared
6. Prepping never ends
7. Don’t be a victim of fear mongering
