SAM-K Survival & Preparedness 

What Is Prepping?

When some people think of prepping, it conjures images of strange people wearing tinfoil hats huddled in a shelter while they wait for the mothership to return. For others, thoughts of a recluse living in a one-room shack in the middle of rural Montana come to mind. However, neither of those thoughts capture the real nature of prepping.

At its heart, prepping is simply preparing for the future. Since there is no certainty of what that future may bring, Preppers frequently hope for the best yet prepare for the worse, and with good reason, many Preppers feel that we are on the verge of a significant change in life as we know it. So they prepare, but where do we start?
