Think About Gathering Doomsday Prepping Gear Now

By Sally Delacruz


Sever weather, natural disaster, foreign threat, or a complete break down in civilization are things that a lot of people are worried about. You may also be concerned but do not know what to do about it. Think about gathering doomsday prepping gear now. Then you can rest easier knowing you are ready.

Many believe food and water is the first thing to stock up on but actually finding reasonable shelter is the most important. The perfect place would be somewhere you have access to well water or non-stagnant water. Being able to plant crops and care for livestock is also ideal. Once you have the proper shelter, everything else will fall in place.

Stock up on food and water. There are plenty of sources for purchasing freeze dried and dehydrated foods. But also include store bought and home canned items. Add cooking oils and spices to your list. In addition keep in mind some allergies develop after eating a specific food repeatedly so balance the types of food you put up. One more note is to also include foods that can lift a person's spirits. Candy can keep a child or adult happy when everything gets to be too much.

Next is protection. Having weapons and knowing how to use them is vital but so is knowing how to detect or prevent threats. If you have a family be sure they all know how to properly use and care for weapons. In addition, security is important. Know and teach everyone in your group how to recognize and assess threats.

Your first aide kit should resemble a miniature medical kit. In addition to bandages and aspirin, have pain medication and antibiotics. Sun screen is also handy. Have cough medicine and medication for diarrhea. Include a first aide manual.

You may very well still find yourself needing other items once disaster has struck. If that is the case, having things to barter with can be vital. Put away books, candy, blankets, and even drinking alcohol. You may have a need for medication, ammunition, firewood, or fresh water and can use these items for trade.

Just because you might live in an apartment in the city does not mean it is hopeless. Get together with some neighbors you trust and have a combined stash put together. Have enough for every one in the group to last at least seven to ten days.

For urbanites, have at least seven to seventeen days worth of water and food ready. Choose items that are not dependent on electricity. Have large garbage bags for use as portable toilets, proper hygiene will prevent spread of diseases and infections. You need to also have a well stocked first aid kit plus something to barter with. Most important, have an evacuation plan in place and know where you can go to be safe.
