A Quick-Start Guide for New Preppers Who Want to be Ready RIGHT NOW<\/a><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

When you first start prepping you want everything RIGHT NOW. You look around your home and see nothing but shortcomings. You don\u2019t have enough food, you don\u2019t have a woodstove, you have no secondary water source\u2026that\u2019s it. You and your family are doomed.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

You feel a panicked urgency because you\u2019ve learned just enough to know that you are NOT prepared.You know that there are all sorts of supplies that you need, but if you\u2019re like most of us, you\u2019re on a budget. Very few of us can afford to buy everything we need all at once.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a guide<\/strong><\/p>\n

Stop panicking. Take a deep breath. You can devote yourself to getting prepared without breaking the bank.<\/p>\n

So if you have to split up your purchases, how do you prioritize your supplies? How can you create a sensible supply quickly before an impending crisis occurs?<\/p>\n

The recommendations in this guide for new preppers will help speed you through the preparedness process. Wherever possible, use items that you already have. Consider this a checklist of what you need and fulfill it as you can. In each category there will be a range of options, including some freebies whenever possible, as well as reading material on the subject.<\/p>\n

Please keep in mind, the following doesn\u2019t provide you with a year\u2019s supply of anything. It will get you through most short-term disasters with aplomb, though. Once you have this foundation in place, you can spend time and money building upon it.<\/p>\n

Water<\/strong><\/p>\n

Water is near and dear to my heart, so much so that I wrote a\u00a0book on the topic. (You can find\u00a0The Prepper\u2019s Water Survival Guide HERE<\/a>.) I always put water at the top of the list, because without it, you\u2019ll be dead in 3 short days. The need for an emergency water supply isn\u2019t always the result of a down grid disaster. Recently, we tapped into our emergency water when the well pump broke.<\/p>\n
