AlaskaGranny Alaska Prepper have you thought about prepping skills want to develop rather
than thinking we're prepping for some disaster think about learning skills that are Hobbies
learn skills you like to do that can help you succeed in any kind of situation that you might
encounter there are so many hobbies skills that are enjoyable instead of thinking of ourselves
as Preppers we can think of ourselves as Gathering hobbies and skills some people feel like prepping
is a negative connotation but if we are just keeping that actual label to ourselves and we're
working on our Hobbies then we don't come across to people who would like to think that we're some
Fanatics if we're just working on Hobbies skills maybe others want to join in and participate we
can find like-minded people without putting a label of prepping on ourselves and others
and we can just then be acquaintances we can be like-minded people and it can help us to actually
find the prepping community that is becoming more difficult to find people that share the ideas and
activities we like to do what are some prepping skills or hobbies that you might want to develop
have you thought about gardening repairing things I like to figure out how to fix things I don't
want to pay somebody to do it if I don't have to I don't want to buy something new if I don't need
to I've tried to figure out how to learn different things like how to repair my bathroom faucet how
to clean Rusty tools and I've made lots of videos on some of these things skills hobbies I do that
I see it as life skills important things you need to know just to survive as a homeowner you need to
be able to take care of your belongings maybe you want to learn sewing mending knitting crocheting
just Mending part can help us to save money help things last longer clothing we have if we
learn how to sew a hem fix a hole put a patch on clothes learn basic sewing skills we can help our
things last longer we can take better care of our belongings which in the long term gives us Pride
that we are able to provide things make them last and then we also save money because we don't need
to constantly be replacing things gardening is a lot of fun but if you don't have a garden maybe
you can learn foraging where you can go out find wild berries plants that are medicinal mushrooms
there's a lot to learn about the plants that are in our world how we can Harvest them safely how
we can prepare them if we want to I've even made a video on how to cook fiddlehead ferns because
it's fun to learn new skills we can learn berry picking we can learn where to find the foods that
are available that nature has provided for us do you enjoy animals maybe you want to learn some
animal husbandry maybe you even want to learn how to grow your own chicken and learn how to harvest
it how to cook things like pheasant and quail eggs I've raised birds many times during my life I'm
not currently doing that but it's an option always that we can develop those skills and learn to use
them so there are a lot of things about animals that you might want to learn that can be a great
hobby but they can also help you be prepared to face life's challenges gun owners don't have to
be labeled as Kooks maybe you want to learn Target practicing because it's a real skill to be able to
shoot straight know gun safety shooting guns is a lot of fun it takes a lot of skill and it's
a great way to find like-minded people if you enjoy going to the shooting range and making
acquaintances there whether you grow a garden or not it's great to learn skills like canning
dehydrating because it helps us have extra variety food we know where our food is coming from we know
how it is prepared then you don't have to buy say a can of meat at the store open it and say this
doesn't even look right I wouldn't have bought it if I could take a peek inside so if we learn how
to can some of our own food we know what's in it we don't have those kind of surprises dehydrating
is also a great way to add varieties of fruits and vegetables into your food storage because
you are prepared storing foods to last yourself dehydrated foods not taking up so much space
while canning and freezing are great ways to store food dehydrating is also an option that is really
convenient think of outdoor activities maybe you enjoy camping or hiking backpacking those are all
great ways to learn survival skills and practice them but it doesn't have to be labeled that way
they're Hobbies skills it's fun to get Outdoors it's fun to hike around camping is a great way
to learn to build fires and all kinds of other skills how to know you can take care of yourself
in the Out of Doors these types of skills hobbies are something you might want to develop because
it helps you to be a more prepared person you are learning about the world how to coexist in it and
then have the ability to take care of yourself in all kinds of situations so ponder over the idea
of prepping as developing Hobbies skills which can help you find like-minded people and you may
even be able to get a few people to come over to our way of thinking because they're learning new
hobbies and skills and they may not even realize that they're prepping the more of us who prepare
