    New Year's Prepper Resolution

    I know its early yet but I'm the kinda person that does better at their goals when they're written down and figured I'm not the only one


    So I thought it'd be interesting to list atleast 5 things that we want to improve or add to our preps with. That way everyone can possibly find something they didn't consider previously.

    And when you accomplish a goal be sure to post and confirm the results!

    Rain barrels for my down spouts
    Start a garden
    Ham operator license.
    More hiking/running conditioning
    Atleast 50.00 dollars a month dedicated to preps.
    Canning.

    Only five? I have declared this "Year of the Prepper" in my household and I plan on getting a lot done.

    My top 5 are: Finish paying off our debts except the mortgage and restore our emergency fund.

    Find someone to finally take me to a shooting range to teach me how to shoot the Marlin 60 and Mosin I bought
    long ago.

    Get a solid 3 months (preferably 6, but planning on 3) of food and household goods stored away. We can survive
    3 months, but we would be surviving on vitamins and spit towards the end of it.

    Learn to use the canner and dehydrator I bought a long time ago, which will really help with the goal above.

    Clean out the basement. It is so filled with junk that we will be crushed to death if a tornado came, and there
    isn't room to shelter there for more than a few hours. Selling the junk will also help restore the emergency fund
    and I will use the shelf space to store our canned and dehydrated food.

    After half of the year overseas, I plan on:
    Starting my reloading program for self sufficient ammo
    Learning how to make my own molle/tactical gear, and getting the hardware/supplies to go with it
    Stocking up on ammo, esp. 22LR
    Buying an AK and a 22
    And last but not least, balancing this with our child on the way.

    Basically get my aquaponics going, and maybe get a bunker in the ground. Everything else I think is good to go.

    I can't pinpoint 5 things, I plan to continue prepping as normal and just make sure its not my last prepping year of resolutions since it will be 2012.

    I hope everyone has a good year of prepping.
    Be ready now, you won't have that chance later.
