The beginning of fall marks a crucial time for preppers. Only a few weeks remain before winter weather arrives, making prepping more difficult. Every survivalist knows that the next few months are crucial for preparedness. It’s time to stock food, secure the house and bunker down for snowy months.
Here are the five best blogs for you to follow during that time.
Survivopedia
This blog’s tagline, “Uncommon wisdom for dangerous times,” is the perfect description. Survivopedia is your one-stop shop for all prepper information. With specific tags for survival gear, weapons, food, planning and general prep, it’s easy to find the key information you are looking for. The blog’s goal is to help people “regain their peace of mind – by becoming more self-reliant and self-sufficient in all aspects of life: from putting food on the table, to keeping your loved one safe, and staying in good health.” Articles range in topics from one day prep to rationing strategies.
The Prepper Journal
The Prepper Journal is your one-stop-shop, daily prepper blog that has all the information you need, whether you are a beginner or veteran prepper.
