Introduction
Our society is becoming increasingly unstableour world functions in more unsustainable ways with each passing day. With the planet's growing population, an affinity for a faster-paced life, advancements in technology, and a preference for an increasingly self-centered lifestyle for many individuals, our environmental resources are being depleted faster than we can imagine. Our current situation shows that in the future, we may have to seek alternative ways to live. Let's imagine that the unthinkable happens, and say a global market crash, a world-altering natural disaster, famine, or large-scale war occurs. At that moment, we'll realize that the need to be prepared for such things is absolutely crucial. But it's no use waiting for these kinds of disasters to take place. It's time to act now. But you may ask, where do I even start? The answer is simple: educate yourself on what to prepare for, the ways you can prep, and how. After learning more about it, you can then take the practical steps to build a framework to create your plan of action. The prepping lifestyle isn't just about stocking piles of food and water. It starts with changing your mindset that foresees events before they take place and taking the proper action to mitigate the effects of these events. There is a common notion among non-preppers that preppers are paranoid kinds of people. But nothing could be further from the truth! Preppers are simply individuals that have developed a mentality to plan for the future, take the initiative in taking care of themselves and their families, and utilize their resources in the most efficient way.
One example that shows how important it is to be prepared is a recent event that we have all experienced. At the beginning of 2020, the world was hit by the Covid-19 pandemic. Because of the announcement of a lockdown, people panicked and flocked to stores to try and stock up on food and other supplies. Mass shortages occurred, and people were then faced with the fear of a virus and running out of food. This short-sighted approach to dealing with a crisis was the least efficient way to deal with the situation, and consequences took forth. For preppers who had been prepared to deal with this, panicking and running out to buy things wasn't so necessary. Preparing in advance allows less disruption when crises come. These kinds of events truly make us realize the need to prep.
We understand that prepping can be an arduous activity and that the thought of going off the grid can be an uncertain and complex task. The very notion of leaving everything behind scares people because they have no idea at first what to expect. In a society dependent on the government to care for the people's every need, many might doubt if they would be able to survive at all without being closely linked to government-provided services. We also understand that you, the reader, may still be a beginner and think that you don't have the necessary skills to be able to survive in wilderness situations and that the thought of such cases can sound frightening. Or maybe you're a camping or survivalist enthusiast, and you want to leap at the chance of becoming more independent and getting out of the stress of the city. Whatever your station in life is, this book aims to provide the answers for you. This book is the perfect resource for anyone thinking of tackling the great outdoors. You'll learn about the first steps to living off the grid so that you can set up a sustainable off-grid home. You'll also receive tips and advice on how to protect yourself and your family in survival situations. Finally, if you're an experienced outdoor lover, you'll learn how to survive and thrive in nature, the place you treasure the most. Whatever problem you may be facing, this book aims to teach you one key skill: preparedness.
Other outdoor guides can seem confusing and restricted to only those with no experience having the right equipment, knowledge, or skills. These guides may not be as helpful to someone just starting to get into the prepper movement. Many guides seem to only focus on the countryside or wilderness survival. Fewer of them seem to deal with the need to survive in the urban environment, which is just as important because many emergencies can happen even if you're not outdoors. Prepping is for all times and all seasons. This guide aims to give you a truly holistic view of the topic of prepping. We won't assume that you're an expert in this sort of thing, and we'll start with the beginning by laying out the foundational concepts and give a plan of action. We also won't assume that you have access to expensive forms of equipment, so we'll show you how you can make use of the most basic of tools to live in an efficient and environmentally friendly way.
