undercover prepper are you a prepper prepping SHTF hi it's AlaskaGranny Alaska Prepper are
you an undercover prepper it used to be common in our society for people to grow their food
put it away for the winter when things were not available trying to make sure that we had the
things that we needed then it became times of plenty everybody could go to the grocery store
whenever they wanted but next thing you know they invented the warehouse stores regular families
could go to places like costco and buy gigantic packages of toilet paper huge boxes of frozen food
big cans and giant packages of cereal and canned goods all kinds of huge amounts of foods that
was just considered normal shopping maybe you've discovered you're actually an undercover prepper
maybe you have some of those gigantic packages of toilet paper that's not hoarding it's preparing
you have the things that you need to keep your family running smoothly maybe you have a
freezer stock full of food it's because you enjoy feeding your family and having the things you need
not because you're hoarding or trying to keep others from having those foods things
when we fill our carts at the store and we go home the stores are never empty there's
still plenty for other people to buy anyone can walk in the store and buy as much as they like
and so for the idea that prepping is wrong just doesn't make sense preppers should not
be vilified or called names or shunned or judged preppers are just doing what people have always
done they're having the things that they need in their home to provide for their family prepping
is lifestyle insurance who doesn't want to come home to a warm meal who doesn't want to
always have enough toilet paper why wouldn't you always want the soap and supplies that you need
why wouldn't you want a first aid kit if someone in your family is injured or hurt
power outages happen to everyone why wouldn't you want some flashlights and candles spare
batteries all of these types of supplies are reasonable and it just makes sense so if you
have the things that you need perhaps you are an undercover prepper and you didn't even realize it
let's go over what some of the basics are that you might want to make sure that you do have
in your prepper food storage stockpile just to make sure that you have all of your bases covered
do you have enough food that you could provide meals for your family for several weeks
do you know how to use the foods that you have then what if there was a long drawn-out problem
that you say lost your job or there was a big storm that came and the stores couldn't open
where you are would you have the supplies that you need to be able to make meals for your family
Teddy
make sure that you also have bottled water you should have a minimum of one gallon of water per
person per day and for at least two weeks try to store water wherever you can look for little
nooks and crannies places in the bottom of your closet places that you can store water because
water is the thing that we need no matter what the emergency is you need to be able to drink water
you need water to be able to prepare your food you need water to wash your hands to clean up a dish
to flush a toilet make sure that you're storing enough water so that your family has what they
need then it's always a great idea to put aside a bucket of beans a bucket of rice beans and rice
are so cheap to buy and with a big bag of beans a big bag of rice you can make many meals that
can keep your family going and no nobody wants to rely on just beans and rice but you can add them
into all of the other foods that you have in your prepper pantry and make some interesting meals
beans and rice are also something that can last for so long and there may not be something that
you would be able to grow and provide for yourself we can go gardens we can go foraging but most of
us don't have the ability to grow the amount of food that we could store with just a bag of beans
and a bag of rice so put some of those aside for your family and if you never need it that's okay
they don't cost that much but if you do need it you will be very thankful that you took the few
dollars to put those foods aside so that you could ensure your family's well-being
do you have a supply of flashlights and batteries maybe a radio oil lamps with the fuel candles
and matches so that you can light these things everyone needs a comprehensive first aid kit
get a basic first aid kit and then go even to somewhere like Dollar Tree or the drugstore
and go up and down the aisles and if there's any over-the-counter medications that your family uses
buy a few extras have them in your stockpile stock up on some vitamins think about hygiene do you
have toothbrushes toothpaste floss shampoo soap hand lotion sunscreen and bug spray those are easy
supplies to have on hand that when somebody needs a new toothbrush a bottle of shampoo that you can
go to your little stash and get one out for them that's so much easier than trying to decide i need
to run to the store just to get this one item and nobody wants to ever have to go without
so if you get a supply of those things it just makes your life run more smoothly next think about
cleaning supplies and hygiene supplies do you have plastic garbage bags do you have laundry detergent
do you have the cleaners that you use in your home it's simple to have a few extras and then
you can reach for the supplies that you need on a day-to-day basis along with your laundry detergent
pick up a bottle of bleach it's simple to purify water with a few drops of bleach
think about the supplies like toilet paper paper towels kleenex baby wipes and feminine hygiene
products anything that you normally use that you would want to have on a day-to-day basis is worth
having an extra pack or an extra bottle an extra container for your comfort and your use prepping
doesn't have to be all or nothing prepping is in stages in steps have enough for three days have
enough for one week have enough for a month and have as many things as you need as much as you
can store that makes you feel that you have the confidence that you can take care of your family
for whatever amount of time that you need to don't fall victim to perfection paralysis that if
i don't know what to get i just don't do anything i'm afraid i'll get the wrong thing that's not how
you should look at it think of it as what can i make for breakfast lunch and dinner tomorrow
what are some foods i can put in the pantry that i could quickly pull out and make a meal for my
family buy several sets of those ingredients that you could make a meal for your family
it doesn't have to be anything complicated it can just be a few basic food items that you could stir
together to have something to eat so go ahead become an undercover prepper get motivated
get moving get your stockpile while things are readily available they're foods and items that
you're going to use anyway so it only makes sense to want to have those things on hand
it helps your life go smoothly no matter what the day brings troubled times come to everyone
it doesn't matter who you are the longer you live the more challenges you will face
if you become an undercover prepper and you have a stockpile of the things that you need you're going
