Modified clothing for the prepper

[NorthernRaider]

Oh my gosh. There was I thinking about food, animals, shot guns etc and it never occured to me to think beyond hiking boots and a waterproof jacket.

Actually your post kind of scared me. There is too much to think about and I can't do it all. So where is the best place to start? I have downloaded the various essential kit lists so I suppose that is my starting point but sometimes it all seems rather daunting. Especially to a non expert like me. Hey Ho, we all have to start somewhere .

Start by stepping back, slow down, NO I mean slow down properly go and have a cupper. OK now start making a plan on paper.
Things to consider

Heat
Light
Water
Food
Fuel
Clothes
Tools
Medicine
Transport
Home / Shelter

Slow down again, now you can take your time and read through the forum cherry picking the useful bits, you can go to the downloads bit on the Home page and find more info, and when you are comfy with the forum and us loons if you want I will send you a copy of my free preppers guide as a very very basic foundation to work from.

If you go to fast you will get fed up and disheartened.
