There\u2019s always something new to buy, some skill you need to learn, or a disaster that you know you just aren\u2019t quite ready for yet. It can be downright overwhelming, especially if you happen to be new at the whole thing, but also, even when you\u2019ve been at it for years.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s enough to make some folks just give up.

Perhaps they know that bad things can happen but then they go and check out a prepping website and see the huge tasks that others are accomplishing, view the pantries of folks who have been at it for years, and mentally tally up the cost of the things they don\u2019t yet have. All they can see is the things they have yet to do and thousands of dollars spent. They immediately close out of the page and ask themselves, \u201cWho has time for that?
