Preparedness Planning - Gear
Gear is one of the most talked about and debated topics when it comes to the preparedness community. What do you need most? How much do you need? Is one brand better than another? Does more expensive mean better? Do I really need this? These questions do not have one answer.
Just think about what you might need to get if you were unable to get to the store or order anything online for 1-year. That is a lot of gear!
What items constitute “Gear?”
At TruPrep we have them broken down to the following categories:
- Packs
- Tools
- Cordage
- Power Generation and Storage
- Water Filtration and Storage
- Shelter
- Cooking
- Protective Gear
- Apparel
- Camouflage
- Fire Tools
- Lighting
One way to know which types, brands and versions of the gear is to talk with others, read up on the items. This way you can make educated purchases. Check out our retail store for this gear and more!
Once you have decided you want to better prepare yourself for the possibility of a disaster, one of the first things you must consider when starting your preparations is food. During many disasters, food as we know it now will be in short supply. It doesn’t take much to disrupt established food supply chains, and it is likely you will not be able to go down to the local grocery to pick up essentials during a disaster. It is important to have food security before disaster arises.
