If you haven’t started prepping, it’s time to start taking the decisive actions you need to take to keep yourself, and your family safe.

Here are 10 ideas that can help get you started:

1. Threat Assessment

Part of truly being prepared for anything, means knowing exactly what threats you’re facing, and then analyzing how those threats will effect you in the future. By performing a realistic threat assessment, you can get a better idea of what threats you’re facing, and learn how to prepare for those threats in the future.

2. Planning for the most likely SHTF Scenarios.

When your just getting started in the world of prepping, preparing for an EMP or an asteroid hitting the earth is probably not the best course of action.
