Hi All,
Sorry I have been a bit quiet as of late.
Bunches of things going on.
The DIY part of being a prepper is something near and dear to my heart. You see? A little bit of study and the willingness to give things a try will get you a long way.
So I would like to do a short intro to a few things that I believe are important.
1. Gasification - This is REALLY important to prepping. In short. Anything that can be burned can be gasified. What that means is that if you heat up burnable stuff (wood, plastic, Tires, Food waste and such) in a vessel without O2. It will gasify. The gas produced is called syngas. You can run a petrol engine on it. You can also make Diesel and Petrol from it by running it through a cooling tower. Look it up on Google and You Tube to see how. Really good stuff that is.
2. Don't buy - Build. Being a perpetual tight-wad I have built much of our prep stuff. Want a Small wood burning stove? Get some ammo cans and get to building. You don't need to be able to weld. An Angle Grinder, Drill, Rivets and bolts will get you there.
3. If you have to Bug-out and don't have an already built shelter at your BOL or don't have a BOL. I suggest you think about a Yurt. Don't buy one. Build it. Again look it up.
4. While firearms are GREAT, think about other means in addition. A good bow or crossbow will go a long way. Also think about your small game taking means. There is nothing wrong with a good air rifle. You can buy a huge amount of pellets for what you would spend on 22 LR. Just saying.
More to come since I have writers block ATM.
