New Prepper? Here are the 10 Imperative Supplies You Need to Stay Alive

new prepper supplies

What should you always have for survival? A lot of sources will say a lot of different things. For the most part, successful survival gear is things that will serve a purpose in most common situations.

While we want to stock up on zombie-slaying gear, will we really have to use it? Chances are… no. So in cases of long-term lost power, natural disasters, and societal uprising–things that are fairly common in history — we'll want the things we can use. Check out the video below to find out what these things are.

I want a zombie uprising. Countless video games have made me feel that I'll do pretty well in a zombie outbreak (of course, my luck says I'll likely be Patient Zero). But if we want to look at this from the perspective of things that will actually happen, a zombie apocalypse doesn't even make the list.

For that reason, you'll want to ditch the extra machetes and go for some extra MREs and a weather radio. Most of the time, these SHTF situations are fairly short-lived, so prepping for five years really isn't necessary. Of course, if you do, more power to you (let's be friends). If you are new to the prepping world, just make sure you have medical supplies, water, food, light, sleeping gear, a multitool and a firearm and you should do alright.

    The metal coffee cans work the best for this. I learned very young at church camp about this cooking method. We used wax for the burner. Oil or grease may get to hot and catch more on fire.

    Yes and keep the tuna can lid handy to adjust your heat and to snuff the fire out.

    5 things you’ll want in your pack out,… *(5) snake bite kits.
    *save up any and all unused antibiotics, cool and dry, air tight container.
    *a surplus medic field kit, (surgery ready)., and a basic Marine Corpmans medic guide.
    * paracord
    * basic all steel hatchet, and metal file.

    Add water filter straws, and or basic carbon water filters.
    Since noise could be a unhealthy situation, get a good bow, and arrows, and extra arrows and tips. Learn that weapon. *ammo makes a loud “boom”, it attracts unwanted attention, arrows are quiet, can be yanked out and reused.

    there are collapsible bowl out there that fold down to less than 20″ for less than 100 dollars, 50-80lb draw i think.
    a kukri can replace the machete and hatchet if its long enough (weight of hatchet and length of a machete).
    you could throw in a blast match, fire with 1 hand. and there are reuseable glowsticks, i forget the brand, but they give off light for about 24 hours, can be cutand still work. its not a chemical, its some kind of solid.
    quick clott is a must, walmart firstaid kits have some quickclott items in them.

    There are videos on YouTube, just have to sit and watch them, ..”how to make long bows from heavy schedule PVC plumbing pipe. Some were cheesey, but some kinda raised an eyebrow, in a good way.

    Look up a magazine called OffGrid. They did a full article on this. Being a father of 4, I found it quite straight forward and informative. I saved the issue and I’ll edit with the publication date.
