Is anyone else tired of seeing all the “expert” advice out there telling you how to prepare for [insert economic meltdown catchphrase here]? Yeah, so am I! As I’ve stated on Facebook, it’s bad prepper tactics to prepare for unlikely events until you’ve nailed down the likely ones. Now, I’m sure that the folks writing all this panic media have been prepper for a long time, and have the likely ones covered, but they’re not telling you that when they begin suggesting bug out vehicles, retreats, and crisis gardens. What you need is a bit of practical preparation for the situations most likely to affect you. The top 5 are:
- Weather related
- Location related
- Money related
- Job related
- Family related to one of the top 4
Zombies, economic collapse, vast right-wing or left-wing conspiracies, Obama, Romney, Clinton, Bush, rogue nuclear nations and such are all much, much, much lower on the list that most of the “preteppers” are yapping on about. I do recommend taking care of less likely events when you’re ready and if they honestly make sense to even worry about. I mean, zombies…really? Grow the fuck up. Government brain implants? Tin foil, bitches!
I’m not one to mince words nor am I an “expert”, but it seems to me that by applying a tad bit more logic than most of these yahoos, you and I are going to have the advantage to help our loved ones and any one else who needs it. What say you?
