Prepping Curation
There are many posts and curation pages displaying a wide array of topics, but yet have I discovered one solely dedicated to prepping, preppers and survival; and if there was one before I have not seen an update in months. So, in my endeavors to curate more topics under the main umbrella of homesteading, self-reliance, off-grid living and more, I will be doing a weekly post every Monday dedicated to preppers.
Topics I will be searching for include (but not restricted to):
- Prepping
- Survival
- Self-reliance
- Self-sustainability
- Bushcrafting
- Food prepping
- Protection (of home, family and possessions)
- DIY Health
- 2nd Amendment concerns
- Gear and supplies
- Skills & DIY Instructions
Now keeping in mind these posts will be written by other steemians, considered good quality and not plagiarized.
When I find new posts in the above mentioned topics that meet criteria I desire the posts to have, I will post in upcoming Preppers Curation Day Weekly Editions and let the author know of the sharing and curation.
I will be looking through the Preppers Discord group and channels and taking recommendations from fellow preppers in the same group and community.
Prepping: FOOD SUPPLY & STORAGE
How Much Food Do You Have On Hand? by @preparedwombat
Those of us who live in industrial or post-industrial countries tend to take food for granted. It’s relatively cheap and plentiful, to the point where many of us have bulging waistlines. But it wasn’t always like this, and it won’t necessarily be like this going forward. Our grocery stores are packed full, but only because of a robust interconnected supply chain. Just-in-time inventory management was a new concept a generation ago, now it’s standard operating procedure. Grocery stores routinely have very high rates of turnover for their inventory. Having a 2-day supply of food on hand is typical for them. I saw a study from the UK a while back that found that the typical British household had three days of food on hand
So how much food do you have on hand in the event of an emergency? Are you prepared?
Prepping: GEAR, TOOLS & PROTECTION
Back Acres: Small Knife Sharpening with a Pocket Sharpener - Regular, Serrated, and Gut Hook by @jackdub
The Lansky Blademedic has many tools for knife sharpening. There are a lot of different ways to sharpen knife edges. I like this sharpener because it easily fits in the pocket or backpack. It sharpens my stainless steel and carbon steel knife blades at home, and on the go. I like to give my EDC knife a quick sharpen once a week when moderately using the knife a few times a day. This pocket sharpener is designed to sharpen regular, serrated, gut hook, and filet blades.
Learn all the parts of a knife as well as how to properly sharpen a knife for its best efficient use in this post.
Prepping: LEARNING NEW SKILLS
Taught Addie How To Use A Chainsaw by @fixedbydoc
Addie has been afraid of the chainsaw since we got one 5yrs ago. She finally decided to learn how to use it. So we spent the afternoon cutting firewood. I dropped 2 trees (dead ones) to show her how then she dropped her first one ever. Before that though she practiced cutting the ones I dropped into billets. Here are some pics of her going at it. And a video of her dropping her first tree.
Learning new skills on the homestead are too important to let your fears take control. See how @fixedbydocs shows his wife how to safely use a chainsaw.
