About Dee
Thank you for visiting Prepping 4 survival. I hope you find the content useful, educational, and entertaining as I share what I have learned, as well as my experiences.
I am not an expert in the prepping or survival world, but I have been prepping on a small scale for a few years. I have created this to help novice preppers like myself understand the importance of the tools, as well as the physical and mental aspects of survival.
MY STORY
I have been playing with the prepping lifestyle for a few years now, and I have found some things easy, such as purchasing gear, and others more difficult to focus on, such as practicing skills. I need to start practicing on skills with my purchases, otherwise my gear is useless when I may need it most.
I have also stored foods that can be used in a survival situation and are long-term stores, but I have not actually tried to use these food stores by creating a pretend situation to see how I will prepare and use the foods. These are staple foods that I purchase and package for long-term storage. As I start these practices, I want to share these experiences with everyone, both good and bad.
Even though I am an avid camper, I still wonder if I could actually survive in a SHTF situation, whether I bug-in or bug-out, so I plan to start testing my skills, as well as practice others so that I improve on the necessary skills I may need for any situation.
WHY I WANT TO HELP PEOPLE
My intention is to help other novice preppers become better prepared to survive when the need arises. By sharing my triumphs and failures as I learn and practice survival skill.
I hope to show others that failure may occur, but if we continue to practice we will succeed, as failure in a survival situation is not an option. Waiting until things get bad to see if you have the skills to survive will be too late.
Practicing and becoming proficient in skills such as fire starting in a variety of situations will be important, and I will try different techniques to share with you along with many other skills that might be needed in different survival scenarios.
I plan on being able to learn from my attempts and can share what is successful and what not to do with you, so that when you start practicing with your own skills you will not have to experience the same failures I did, but will be able to focus on what I found that works best, saving you time and frustration as you become more Prepared 4 Survival.
THE GOAL OF THIS SITE
The sole purpose of this site is to help other novice preppers understand the importance of having skills as well as tools for survival.
Without the necessary skills to properly use the tools, survival will be difficult. Being prepared means more that having plenty of food. It is being well-rounded in many skills, as well as having the mental and physical ability to survive.
I want this site to be entertaining as well as educational, with the goal of making you ready and willing to work toward surviving when the time comes.
If you ever need a hand or have any questions, feel free to leave them below and I will be more than happy to help you out.
All the best,
