I really started to prep when the kids were very young although i did not know it at the time. You look what’s going on in the world, see the risks and start to act to minimise them. You take notice of any needs to protect your family.
Then you start to keep more food in stock, some candles for the power cuts we had then, a good first aid kit especially with two energetic kids and make your home as secure and safe as possible, and i still did not know i was prepping, it just made sense.
When the kids were old enough they went into the scouts and guides respectively, learning to love the outdoors and become self sufficient. Then they started to notice what was going on around them.
I never decided to be prepper but i guess i drifted into it as it seemed to make sense to make these plans and take these actions.
I am sure there are many families like ours but sadly they are a minority.
As i said 70 is the new 50, i am 74, when i was in my 50s i was rock climbing, canoeing and sailing, in my 60s i was hill walking, for my age i consider myself to be quite fit, though if i lost a few pounds it would help my blood pressure. I now know i must have been prepping over 40 years without realising it, with all this practice i think i’m improving.
It may seem like prepping is an older persons activity but it’s probably that we talk about it more.
