Have you ever considered having fun with prepping?

Well you can check out my survival prepping TikTok videos here, or just read below!

Survival prepping is not something that is discussed often in this world, but it is starting to get noticed more and more on a daily basis, and that is a fact!

Especially since we are constantly thinking about survival.

What is the point of survival, however, if we are not enjoying our lives?

This might sound too philosophical, but it is a simple thought that not enough people talk about.

I want to share with you a simple way to make prepping easier, and perhaps even relaxing.

First, let’s talk about why you would even need to make prepping fun.

It is simple, really.

We want to survive not just for a day, not for a few weeks, but for years ahead.

It is simply not sustainable to constantly take everything so seriously.

We need to be able to do this for a long time.

A very simple way to do that is by incorporating family activities into your prepping routine.

That makes the process more enjoyable for everyone, and also ensures that everyone in your household is prepared for whatever may come.

For example, you make a game for your children out of prepping.

Create hypothetical survival scenarios where the whole family has to help to survive.

We actually did this last week at my house.

We pretended the water was contaminated and we had to find alternative drinking sources.

And my children did some research online and even found a cool way to purify water.

I hadn’t ever seen them more excited to help with anything prepping-related!

Why don’t you also try it?

Another way to make prepping a family activity is to take a trip to a wilderness survival training course.

These courses teach you and your family valuable skills such as building a shelter, finding food and water, and starting a fire.

Prepping doesn’t just have to be about stocking up and making plans.

By incorporating fun activities into your prepping routine, you can make sure that your whole family is prepared, while also having a good time.

So don’t be afraid to think outside the box and make prepping a family activity.

Try to have your whole family involved in the prepping process.

5 Different Ways To Prep On A Budget

A lot of people have told me that they would prep, but they just can’t afford it.

And to some degree, they have a point.

Prepping might be costly, even if it protects you from spending resources in the future.

For example, if you insulate your house or install solar panels, you will be wasting less energy for years.

But you would still have to put the initial payment down.

If you can’t afford to do that, does that mean that you can’t do anything?

Well, not exactly.

Another resource that a lot of people neglect is time.

If you are willing to put some time into preparing for survival, you don’t need to make any huge investments upfront.

I have gathered different 5 ways you can use to stay safe even if you can’t afford to make large investments.

Learn to make prepping gear yourself.

Back in the day, this is how our grandparents would prep.

They simply couldn’t shop for most things back then.

If you have the time, you can make your own soap, candles, and even fire paste!

It might seem too hard if you haven’t done this before, but you will also be gaining valuable skills that could come in handy in survival situations.

Identify what you already have on hand.

Most people already own basic items like flashlights, batteries, and first aid kits.

Make a list of what you already have, and then focus on slowly adding the items you still need.

Shop in bulk.

Many prepping items can be purchased in bulk for cheaper.

If you find the places that sell them, you will be saving yourself a lot of time and resources.

Look for used items.

You can find many prepping items, such as camping gear, at a fraction of what you would normally pay.

Look out for flea markets, thrift stores, and online marketplaces like Craigslist and Facebook Marketplace for deals on prepping gear.

Prefer multi-purpose items.

Instead of buying a separate tool for every task, look for items that can be used for multiple purposes.

For example, a good quality folding knife can be used for cutting rope, opening cans, and even as a makeshift screwdriver.

Prepping doesn’t have to be as expensive as some people think.

With a little bit of creativity and resourcefulness, you can have everything you need without spending valuable resources.
