What a Prepper needs and what I have

Hi everybody again, for Those who recently interested to be a Prepper this is a list of the things a prepper needs, and later a list of my own things

Thing Prepper may need:

  1. Caned food, or long life food, so you can store the food for several years. example: well conserved rice
  2. Water, water, and more water, canteens,bottles, filters in case you ran out of water, jerrycans, waterver, but a lot, the water in never enough, remember, with no food we survive 3 or 4 week if you are in a well physical shape, with no water we don't leave more than 3 days, the gold rule, is the rule of  "3": 3 minutes with no oxygen, three days with no water, three weeks with no food, lead to death.
  3. Weapons!, I mean ¿worth something to have water and food for 30 years if someone stole them or you die?, I mean, we need to own knifes, baseball bats, air pellet rifles, powreful slingshots, bow and arrow, or the prepper choice number 1: The fire arm. This give you a big power, but remember, if the Ammo run off, are useless, that's why most Preppers have many firearms, and many, many Ammo.
  4. Rope; with some rope, you can make your own weapon, such as a bow, or tie a knife to a stick and make a lance, or make a shelter with it.
  5. Equipment to sart a fire, fire is essential, the gold rule to survive is the rule of "3" (isn't the same as the one before): Fire, foodstuffs (including water) and shelter. Fire, you can use it as a defense against animals and people, you can boil it water to make it dinkable, you cancook the food, heat yourself during the night, give you light during the night, and have a fire at the end of the day always puts your spirit up.
  6. First aid Kit, and obviously know hot to use it, so you're prepare for some accident if it happen
  7. Always is a good idea to have someone team up with you, but you need someone that can be used for someting, I mean, that person needs to have something in his favor, like to know how to use a fire arm, or to know first aids, or to be good with the hunting. or something 
  8. Another good idea is to count with a fishing line, some hooks, or something to catch a fish for dinner.
  9. In a a Prepper survival situation, there's always this thing to avoid human contact, I mean, avoid people foreign to you, because this people could have  the intention to stole your supplies (food, water, ammo.) so it's a good idea to have some way to camouflage yourself and your camp so the enemy people "can't" see you; but REMEMBER, if they don't threat you they can be usable as an ally, But if they become hostile to you and your group, you have to eliminate them to save you and your group
  10. VHF radios are a good addition to your equipment, with them you can communicate with others survivors, with the remaining troops of the army(if there are some), and to communicate with your group if you go hunting or to a search for water, in case of EMP, a Faraday box is need to keep the electronics functional, a Faraday box consists in a metal box covered inside with a non-conductive material, later you can put your VHFs securely inside. remember the electronic CAN T be in touch  with metal from the Faraday box. To test the Faraday box, you can put a cellphone inside, if you cant make a call from another cellphone to that one, the Faraday box is safe.

Well now I'll make a list of my wn things:

First of all i want to say that i'm a 15 years old Prepper, so i have a very small budget and my father don't let me own fire arms or bow and arrows, but if I have a good string to make a bow(I have 2 real bow strings, and 6 yards of good rope to home made bows) i can make a 55lbs bow approx. , the potency needed to kill a grown up man is about of 45lbs, with 56 lbs you van kill a grizzly bear, I mean, I make high quality bows, and i have practice with them.

  1. first of all i have an evacuation back pack, with food for one and a half week, with 15 yards rope, 10 yarda of a good rope a little thicker and the one before, 25 yards of thin sisal rope, water for 1 week, A olive-green sweater that i can use it as camouflage or to wear, a camuflage trouser, a short for the warm days. a pair of thongs. military green and black face paint. a note pad and a pencil to keep something like a logbook, 2 army quality copass. First aid kit, inside a old but clean fishing box, but not to big, that will go inside the back pack, with a big amount of medicines, sterile gauze, alcohol, propenny for burns, paper tape , sterile forceps, needle and thread for suture, antibacterial, disinfectant iodine, oxygenated water, band aids. in he Back pack i have a high-quality tactic switchblade knife, a high-quality hunting knife. a wood board used for choping food, that i can use it as a dish or lumber if it's to necessary, maps of 30 miles around my city , a grate number of topographic maps of the places that I consider more important in my state,  a map that leads me to a seafe location far in the woods, were i have shelter (a clue, is my's family's land at 52 miles from my city, in the basis of a mountain). I have a tactic lamp. A whislte. 2 VHF radios that will go inside the backpack (They are in a Faraday box, I'll explain it later), for my team. 10 batterys for each VHF ( every one are handies VHF's). A note pad with area conversions, Morse code, phonetic alphabet (alfa, bravo, charlie, mike,...). Water filters. chlorine tablets for water purification. 3  300 5.5 (cal. 22) pellet boxes. plastic canvas for a shelter. Outside I have tied to the back pack a olive tent for 2 people and a black sleeping bag.
  2. Forgetting the thing before i have 4 pellet weapons, 3 rifles with a effective range of 250 yards, both 5.5 (cal. 22 in fire arms) one with a one with a telescopic sights;  and the other one don't have telescopic sight. The last one i discovered in a little armory in the capital of my state (i don't want to let know were is my house, because in one of the situations, in prepared for i don't want to have a bunch or my readers in my door asking for food, and medicine), a short pellet gun with effective range of 100 yards with multi-shot, YES!!  it has the capacity to shot 5 times until it needs to be charged again, it because it has the 5  spring that give the compressed air for the shots in where you handle it. and it looks like a real 9mm glock model 19. every weapon have fluorescent sights. every one are 5.5 . And i have 3 boxes of 100 pellets each one + 3 250 pellets boxes in the back pack.
  3. Forgetting that i have a cupboard with food for 2 months and water for 2 and a half months.(I have my food taking a can here a can there when my mother come from the store)
  4. Outside the back pack i have a tactic knife, a switchblade knife, a fishing knife (like this one, but with a red point instead of green), a quality (or i have to said very expensive) wooden bat, and a  wooden stick to help my walk, and i can transform it in a lance tying a knife in the end of it, a US marine corp canteen, that will go in my belt, 1 VHF radio outside the backpack for me
  5. And a
    Faraday Box that content all my VHFs (3 in total) of them are the ones mention before that are in the evacuation back pack, because I have to protect each VHF, each one has 26 channels and a function to encrypt up to 5 channels, so anybody can interfere our frequency (what i mean, is that to hear what i say in my encrypted channel you need a password that i create when i encrypt the channel)
In the evacuation moment i will dress, in summer or spring, a camouflage T-shirt, a Black long sleeves shirt tie around the waist. A blue jean  not to new and not to old.
In winterr or fall, the same T-shirt of summer under the black long sleeve shirt, and above that a not to warm black jacket, finally a  olive-green snow snow jacket. In legs I'll wear the same jean. In both cases i'll wear a good pair of rough Hiking boots

Well Folks, that's is all for now, I hope you'll never need to use the things in this lists. (by my way, i will like an EMP so our infrastructure will be destroyed and we return to the 1840s, because the human is destroying the planet)

Happy Society as we know it ending!!

What is a Prepper?

Hi Folks, as my first post i'll like to explain what is a prepper.
 A Prepper is someone who prepare Himself to the end of the society as we know it.
the most common situation that a prepper prepare for are the following ones:
-Large scale  earthquakes all over the wold, this may destroy the electric, gas, and water infrastructure, and This WILL provoke a civil Riot.
- Chemical and biological Terrorist attacks. As well continues bombs attack to crowded places, will generate fear in the people, so they would not leave their homes
-Nuclear Terrorist attacks, Well this don't need explication
-A third World War, where a third of the world population will die.
-Nuclear War, The result of a single nuclear lunch somewhere in the world
-A global Epidemic, in this moment the The health centers will be crowded of sick people, the people will have only 2 options, to dress  bio-chemical suits all day, and to sanitize their homes every day, or go to the wild so they can be far from the virus, and far from the citys. but if They want to leave, they'll need to do it before the have any contact with a sick person.
-An Hyperinflation, prices will got to hell, things that today cost 10 or 15 bucks could cost like 150 or 200 bucks,¡¡¡¡This isn't a joke this can happen!!!!
-The completely Lack of oil or gas will cause riots all over the world in the firsts 72 hours.
-Un E.M.P.  o ElectroMagnetic Pulse, Caused by a  Solar Flare, a Solar Flare will destroy every electronic equipment, from cellphones or VHF handies, Why?, because "burn" the circuits and cables. If this happens mankind will return to the Victorian era (1840s more or less).

Ok, those are some of the scenery that a Prepper care of. In any of this occasions, Riots will start inthe firsts 72hs in which, people will stole everything  they could carry, it wont be strange to the the grandma armed with a knife to have a a pice of bread from their neighbors .

The only way to survive that is, well not to be the taget of the bomb, and well have some thing that I'll explain in other post
