<\/span><\/div>\nby Colin So you\u2019ve started your prepper journey and you\u2019re not sure what to buy as far as prepping supplies go. You can think of the obvious things, but know you\u2019re not smart enough to think of everything you will need when things go south. This preppers list should be able to help you get started and sleep better at night knowing that you are much more prepared than the Average Joe.<\/p>\n This list doesn\u2019t include anything food or water related, since that would almost be its own separate list of prepper supplies. The general rule has always been that man can go three hours without shelter, three days without water, and three weeks without food<\/a>.<\/p>\n Knowing that, you should prioritize accordingly. Make sure you have enough water and food to last at least a month, and then start working on collecting the items outlined below.<\/p>\n This list of prepper supplies contains numerous\u00a0items I think every good prepper should have. The list is split into a six different categories: Shelter, Heat & Power, Safety, Medical, Tools, and Comfort\/Other. I have presented them in order of urgency.<\/p>\n Some of these things you would need right away, others you wouldn\u2019t know you were missing until months later, and some you would be a fool to focus on unless you had everything else sorted out (chocolate and alcohol).<\/p>\n If you can ensure you will never succumb to exposure and can brave the elements in emergencies, then you are already way ahead.<\/p>\n The health of your feet determines how quickly you can move, so you want to be sure you protect them well and are ready for all terrain.<\/p>\n Protection of your hands is essential, especially if you plan to be doing any sort of work outside or with power tools.<\/p>\n This is the duct tape of your shelter. You want to know you have one or two in case anything goes awry.<\/p>\n Something easy to carry but heavy enough to protect you from a rainstorm. This is really about protecting yourself from the elements if you plan on spending long periods of time outside.<\/p>\n You will be thankful for this preppers list when you are cozy in your sleeping bag while everyone else is in just their jacket.<\/p>\n These are like a top up on your bed and can be a lifesaver if you find yourself short a tent in the cold.<\/p>\n If you ever intend to leave the safety of your house, a backpack will make sure you are able to keep all the necessities close at hand.<\/p>\n A little barbed wire can cover your walls and secure them from any unwanted trespassers entering by unexpected routes.<\/p>\n Different from barbed wire in that it is more for binding or locking gates, if you have some of this around your house you can block off exits and secure gates more easily.<\/p>\n Not only can move you around, it can also shelter you at night by providing full protection from the elements. Added bonus is your trunk acts as a safe of sorts and isn\u2019t easily accessed by intruders without the key.<\/p>\n Your car is only useful as long as it works. This investment is one won\u2019t regret if you leave your car lights on by accident one night.<\/p>\n This is just portable enough to be practical, but also very effective at keeping you warm.<\/p>\n This is one of the obvious ones, but you want to be able to be mobile in the dark, you\u2019ll need one of these for every member of your group.<\/p>\n For every tool that requires batteries, you should ensure you have extras stockpiled. Otherwise, you\u2019re only taking half measures and are leaving yourself open to having useless tools a few months down the road.<\/p>\n Your home becomes much safer when you have full visibility on the surroundings. The element of stealth disappears.<\/p>\n Your car is only as useful as the amount of fuel you have access to, so make sure you\u2019re prepared for a gas shortage.<\/p>\n Large expense, but this creates so much energy that if you can afford one you should be installing it yesterday.<\/p>\n Another great way to generate energy, and it will generate income for your household in the meantime.<\/p>\n Your batteries double, or even triple in worth when you buy one of these.<\/p>\n Less technologically advanced, but very practical and energy friendly.<\/p>\n Fires have got to get lit some way or another.<\/p>\n You\u2019re not really expected to be able to make a fire with just a few sticks when you could just stock up on cheap lighters instead.<\/p>\n Your safety is paramount, so you need to have at least one of these to ensure you and your family are protected no matter what happens.<\/p>\n Guns are good, but they aren\u2019t always easily concealed. Having one of these will help you move around in an unthreatening way while staying safe.<\/p>\n An absolutely essential purchase to make sure no one ever has the chance to use your gun on you.<\/p>\n More reliable than a gun and useful in a variety of situations, you will need a knife no matter the circumstance.<\/p>\n Potentially more important than a gun because it can be repurposed to create fires, you won\u2019t get much use out of your gun if you don\u2019t have enough ammo.<\/p>\n For the medium-alarm situations that don\u2019t require a full use of force.<\/p>\n Better to monitor things from the safety of your home.<\/p>\n In case of a systemic financial collapse, you always want some of this in your home.<\/p>\n These are harder to store, but more likely to retain their value in a doomsday scenario.<\/p>\n Too many uses to name, but having a pain killer on you never hurt.<\/p>\n Save yourself from any airborne diseases when you absolutely need to go outside.<\/p>\n For any wounds you might have.<\/p>\n Super cheap and super effective at cleaning wounds.<\/p>\n For your bandages or cottonballs.<\/p>\n Lots of uses and you\u2019ll be thankful you\u2019ve got these when you need to do some operating on the go.<\/p>\n Cut through clothes or bandages.<\/p>\n these will help you quickly clean cuts or wounds while on the go.<\/p>\n All natural and very effective at soothing burns.<\/p>\n If you ever need to stitch yourself you\u2019ll be glad you have these rather than the improvised alternatives.<\/p>\n Sometimes you\u2019ll need to get your nutrients from different places than you get your food. This will help you when you get down to the canned goods.<\/p>\n Great for helping with stomach issues and any potential poisons.<\/p>\n A few packages of these and you\u2019ll feel much safer knowing you\u2019re ready for anything.<\/p>\n You\u2019re going to be spending a lot more time outside and you want to be ready for all of the elements.<\/p>\n Whether you\u2019re camping or just in unfamiliar territory, this will help you make sure you avoid getting destroyed by the local bug population<\/p>\n These can clean anything from wounds to weapons.<\/p>\n A good way to treat wounds and you will even be able to start fires if you use it correctly.<\/p>\n This can cover everything from hygiene to cooking and is so cheap you can\u2019t afford not to buy it.<\/p>\n This is food related, but very underrated and could also come in handy if you happen upon a few beers at some point.<\/p>\n This really should be first on the list, but it\u2019s so obvious that I\u2019d expect everyone to have it regardless.<\/p>\n Good for storage and transportation, and you can even use them to collect water if you were in a pinch.<\/p>\n Another multi-use item that is good for anything from starting fires to cleaning pots.<\/p>\n Whether for splitting wood or getting through a door in an emergency, having an axe on hand will serve you well.<\/p>\n Buckets are perfect for storing and moving dirt or water.<\/p>\n Like a bucket, a wheelbarrow is perfect if you foresee the need to move heavy objects and want to save your back some trouble.<\/p>\n Once you run out of gas, you\u2019ll want a way to refill from cars that have been abandoned.<\/p>\n If you have any skill at making food that can be preserved, make sure you have something to store them in.<\/p>\n Your computer and phone aren\u2019t going to cut it anymore. Get some pens, pencils and paper so you can still communicate with other people.<\/p>\n Uses less fuel than a car, and can get to hard to reach places that a car can\u2019t.<\/p>\n A quick tool while you\u2019re on the go to fix any small issues.<\/p>\n A toolkit is essential whether you\u2019re a prepper or not. You should know how to build things, fix things and take simple appliances apart.<\/p>\n An absolute essential, you will want to have several varieties of this for any and all emergencies you\u2019ll encounter.<\/p>\n Your phone compass will be a thing of the past, and not everyone can navigate by the sun. This is probably worth practicing with so you don\u2019t make a fool out of yourself the first time you use it.<\/p>\n At a point, you\u2019re going to want to see what else is going on out in the world. Make sure you actually know how to use this otherwise, it just serves as deadweight.<\/p>\n Cleaning your body will make sure you don\u2019t get any infections (and it never hurts to not smell).<\/p>\n Cleanliness will save your life better than any gun in some cases. Keep your dishes clean so you avoid getting sick.<\/p>\n You are likely going to need to build or reconstruct structures at some point. Having a hammer on hand will make this much easier.<\/p>\n Any building you do will require some of these.<\/p>\n God forbid your house catches on fire, but you better make sure you have a fire extinguisher close by if you do.<\/p>\n These are great for holding things together on the go. Make sure you have multiple sizes!<\/p>\n You probably won\u2019t be travelling any time soon, but having this around just in case could be a great way of identifying yourself if things start to get better again<\/p>\n Not essential, but let\u2019s get serious, you don\u2019t want your breath smelling terrible every day for the rest of your life just because you didn\u2019t stock up before things went down.<\/p>\n Sure, you can just rinse or improvise a substitute, but who wants to do that when you can easily buy some now and save yourself some gross encounters.<\/p>\n I don\u2019t think I would be alone in missing the occasional taste of chocolate.<\/p>\n Liquid therapy is a term for a reason. May as well buy some of this to make yourself feel better when it seems like things can\u2019t get any worse.<\/p>\n What use is all this preparation if there\u2019s nobody to share it with? Keep your family close and let them know of your plans so that you don\u2019t end up alone in this world.<\/p>\n I hope that after reading this list of prepper supplies you are just itching to go out and buy everything on this list.<\/p>\n Just remember that slow discipline will get you through this journey a lot less wastefully than emotional spending sprees. You want to cultivate a horde of prepper\u2019s supplies that fits your needs, not horde everything you could possibly need.<\/p>\n With this in mind, I wish you best of luck as you start this journey!<\/p>\n
