[QUOTE="BadgeBunny, post: 2343967, member: 1242"] First of all, welcome to OSA! Second of all, please feel free to post any questions/neat tips, tricks you come across even if you think we've seen them before ... Third ... The folks above me are right ... start small and work your way up ... This is what I did when I first started out (let me state, for the record, I am the Queen of List-Making :teehee:) 1. Gathered up all the important papers I had scattered everywhere and put them in a central, portable, waterproof file container. Things like birth certificates, passports, copies of driver's licenses, insurance policies, thumb drive with home inventories on it (like serial numbers of all the guns we own for one), credit card numbers and companies, numbers to contact them, passwords, etc. 2. Decided what were the most likely things I would need preps for: A) power outages -- have lasted as long as a week here; B) ice storms -- COLD!!!; C) tornadoes. 3. Decided what I needed to be comfortable (and not have to leave the house) for those three things and started to work ... This included foods that don't need to be cooked, ways to live in our home without conventional power -- heat, cooking, cleaning, lighting, etc. Now that I have those three things out of the way ... I've moved on ... to a more self-sufficient type lifestyle ... I have small livestock and a garden. Both are ever expanding (as much as a suburban backyard can accomodate anyway) ... The point is you can do as little or as much as you like. Anyway you like. Prepping is truly unique and different to each and every one of us, yet the basics remain the same ... And have fun!! If it isn't fun, you aren't gonna do it! :D [/QUOTE]
