From the publisher
This Prepared Life is all about homesteading and preparedness. It is about going back to our roots and doing things in a different way. It is about women reclaiming skills and lost arts. It is about slow and steady preparedness. It is about being prepared not scared. Most of all it is about community, women supporting women, and encouragement. You will find the prepping and homesteading topics one would expect with the unique perspective that women bring to the table. No matter if you are new to or have been on this journey for years there is something here for you.

Ep 28Over 150 Non Food Preps - Ep28
I talk a lot about food storage, but nonfood preps are just as important. Here are over 150 nonfood prep items from a recent post on my Instagram titled If You Use It, Prep It. So get a pen and paper and get ready to take some notes. Preparedness is nothing more than planning for the things to come, and we each get to decide what that looks like for our families. Maybe that's one extra of the items you use regularly, or maybe that's several months or years worth. The only wrong answer is not to prep at all. What would you add to the list?
