2 Focus Points for the New Prepper
The idea of prepping might seem overwhelming to some. There are so many things we need to be prepared, right? Wrong. There are only 2 Focus Points for the new prepping and they can help keep you alive and well for weeks.
2 Focus Points for the New Prepper
There are really only 2 things you need right now, if you want to start prepping for the future. If you have a way to provide these 2 things, they can keep you alive for a couple weeks. Take your time, take a deep breath. Everything else can be added as you go.
The 2 KEY Focus Points
- Warmth (or shelter): This is the most important item to have. If you have a home, or a place to get out of the elements then you are there. A tent or a sleeping bag with a weather proof Bivy cover (bivy sack) and a heavy duty space blanket (to lay on or wrap up in inside your sleeping bag) might be the only answer you need. Cold or wet weather can kill a person in a very short time, sometimes just a few hours. If you can stay dry and warm, you can live for up to 3 days without water.
- Water: A person can only live for 3 days without water. Get water, store water or find a way to treat or filter unclean water. We’ve covered water filtration and water purification in many articles and posts on this site.
I know, many of you are asking “What about food?”.
That’s a great question.
You can can live three weeks without food. If you take care of your immediate needs of Warmth and Water (the 2 W’s), then you’ve got up to 3 weeks to find some food.
I don’t want to go without food, but you have to learn to prioritize for survival situations so you choose properly when making decisions.
For a good start there are only 2 Key Focus Points to Start Prepping!
