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.

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.

You have to practice your plan, thinking is not the same as talking, and talking is not the same as doing.

Practice helps you find gaps, practice makes perfect, practice is much better than talking and never doing.  In this world actions are much more powerful than words.  Don’t talk about your plans for preparedness talk about what you did.  Get out and get it done.

This prepper precept has payback.  I promise you that the more you do the better you will become at doing.  Be a doer and not a talker – your life will be richer and so will your wallet.

This prepper precept is common sense.  It’s better to be home, rather than be a refugee in a shelter, but if you have to leave, you might not have time to pack a bag – have a Plan A and Plan B, C, and D

Plans fail, that is why we have emergencies and disasters.  Things don’t always go as planned.  That does not mean you should not have a plan because the very act of planning has value in itself – it helps identify problems, solutions, pitfalls, and resources.

But having a single plan is not enough.  Have backups and options.  You will thank yourself for it later.

I am the only person responsible for me. No one else is responsible for my actions, safety, or future. If I want to be well fed it is my duty to go outside, find food, kill it, and drag it home.

(The corollary to that is that because I am responsible for me, I get to choose my actions instead of having them chosen for me.  Big boy rules for those that put up childish things…)

I am discussed by those that claim to be adults but are dependent on others for their basic needs.  Recently the lottery got to a record breaking 1.5 billion dollars.  The next morning my social media feeds were crammed full posts about a person begging for money because she spent every dime she had.  All includes rent money, grocery money, gas money.  It all went for losing lottery tickets.

Being Irresponsible is stupid and stupidity should hurt a little.
