This Prepared Life

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? Share your responses in the comments! I welcome newcomers to homesteading and preparedness here at TPL. We all started somewhere and had help getting where we are now.
