Category: My Prepper Precepts

I don’t want the manure to strike the air oscillation device. Hopefully, I won’t ever be told that I was right about prepping. I want my food storage to hit its shelf life unopened. But I feel better knowing I have food insurance.

Don’t look forward to disaster you just might end up getting to be in one.

Rules of Civility: The 110 Precepts that Guided Our First President in War and Peace

These precepts are my creed, and having prepper precepts guides me when I face tough choices. A wise man once told me that when facing a moral problem, the right choice is usually the action you don’t want to take.

I am not a pollyanna person that is wishy washy or blindly follows rules, heck I have a little rebellious streak and love to know the WHY of rules, but I do respect and understand the need for law and know how vital it is for a society to have a moral code.

By knowing what I believe in you can know how I will act. This is very important in times of stress. If you don’t want to read these precepts one by one, the completed list can be found here: Completed 27 Prepper Precepts.

I hope these precepts are useful to you, I feel that by sharing my creed I can, in some little way, help make the world better by opening a discussion about the importance of having rules to live by.

Think, Learn, Plan, Test, repeat…

This is called the exercise cycle and it is vital to creating workable plans that people use.  Every time you practice a plan you learn it’s weaknesses.  Fix those weak points and retrain and retest.  Eventually you will be so skilled and so prepared that it is second nature.

A side benefit of this cycle is that it trains the brain for action and sets in shortcuts and paths.  If you practice long and hard enough eventually when the problem strikes your brain will think it is a test and stay much calmer.

The exercise cycle is a vital part of emergency management and it should be a vital part of personal preparedness.  By running the cycle you learn without the cost of failure during disaster.

My adherence to this prepper precept causes fights at my house.  It is Don’t waste. Be frugal, learn to make do, or you may have to do without.

You can’t always run to the store for parts and new stuff – learn to make do with the old.  By being frugal and eliminating as much waste as possible you will become a better steward of your resources and will not only need much less, but you will save more.  Turn it into a game and it will be much easier.

You will be surprised on how much you actually need once you learn and practice frugality.
