Doomsday Prepping 101
After you’ve got the majority of your prepping done,
think ahead. Don’t keep everything all in one place.
if the area is compromised by outside forces or a
natural disaster, then you won’t have anything left.
Make sure you divide your
stockpile up and store it in several locations, so that you have
options available when seeking
those valuables out as needed.
Store from heaviest on bottom
to lightest on top and do not
store chemicals near your food
and water.
In a disaster, things may get shaken about and
broken, and if your chemicals get into your food,
it’s no good. If you store heavy cans and buckets
on the top shelf, instead of blankets and paper
towels, something may fall and injure you or a
family member.
Although the act of “doomsday prepping” may
seem silly to some, and wholly necessary to others, there is a happy medium. Always have a few
items on hand that will keep you prepared for
anything. The age-old phrase, “it’s better to be
safe than sorry,” holds strong significance. So,
if you have never considered prepping or stockpiling, you don’t have to go into the idea full-force,
but you should at least consider the benefits of
having these items ready-to-go.
If the clock ever does
strike midnight,
you’ll have the tools
necessary to survive.
If the clock stays stagnant or reverses, then you’ll
have the knowledge and the resources to say
that you were ready, which is comforting in an
ever-growing, ever-changing world.
