Episode-317- 18 More Overlooked Items or Skills for Preppers: Play Now | Play in Popup | Download

Today we discuss 18 items that I think should eventually be in the home of every modern survivalist.  Some are common items that we talk about often, others are items that are often over looked or not considered “prepper items”.  The key is this is NOT a complete list or even a punch list, just a group of items we should all be aware of and think about.  Today’s show is a follow up to Episode 306 and we will continue to do new shows as your suggestions create new lists for this topic.

If you have items that are not on the list (other then food or guns because no one leaves those out ever) please chime in with your suggestions in the comments area.

Tune in today as we discuss the following 18 items, with few bonus items you have to tune in to hear about…

• Baking/Cooking Skills
• Yeast Cultivation Skills
• Pruners/Loppers
• Chain Saw
• Scythe
• First Aid Gear and a Blow Out Kit (blow out NOT bug out)
• Cast Iron Cookware
• Tarps
• Nails, Screws and Lumber
• Wheel Barrow or a Good Garden Cart
• Manual Air Pump
