What Preparedness Items Should You Stockpile?
I’m new to prepping … How do I start and what gear should I be stockpiling?
If your just getting started, prepping can sometimes seem a little overwhelming. From stockpiling food and water to picking the right survival gear, figuring out where to get started can be a pretty big challenge.
My advice to anyone who feels lost, is to start with the basics and the essentials. There’s no use stockpiling a room full of ammo if your water supply would only last a day. That’s not downplaying the importance of security, it’s just a reminder that you need t keep a balanced approach.
The first things I would do is to make sure I have my essential needs covered. The essentials include water, shelter, food and personal security. At a minimum you are going to want to have at least a weeks worth of food and water. Once you have that covered I would then set a goal to stockpile enough for 3, 6 and then 12 months.
