Top nine mistakes of prepping newbs


First one I make: Not eating what they store. I like rice but not the greatest cook, I read how to cook it and figured I could do when I needed to.
Second one I make: Not storing enough salt. I don’t add salt to anything. So in one sense it doesn’t make sense to buy something I don’t use but with all that rice maybe I should.
Mistake 3: Relying on bugging out. Well yes I prefer heading to the hills than remaining in a city close to Dallas. Sorry the sheeple will be rioting looting and shooting. My gun is a 22 and hubby’s is a 9mm. Why my house is fine and close to a small pond I much rather be on land paid off that my father owns. I rather travel the dirt roads to get there and have a lake front view and watch nature and fish and attempt to farm/garden several acreas.
4, Storing one type of food. Well yes the bulk of my food is in rice I do have 30 cans of meat, cereal, oatmeal, canned goods. Why I prefer a larger inventory I am going on budget and think having at least a year’s worth of rice is headed in the right direction. I highly doubt my family will eat beans but I may be able to get them to eat pumpkin seeds that do provide protein. While my oldest might starve from here stubbornness to eat veggies I think if it was between life and death she will eat what is given to her. And anything I try to stock comfort foods my pantry gets raided by a 4 year old with climbing power (That’s where a 30 day supply of pop tarts went and many more lollipops)
I do think that me and my husband combined have the skills to survive. Me with rationing, and medical care, and a strong work ethnic and hubby with misc. skills like being a roofer helper, plumper help, son of a carpeter, Me the granddaughter of a farmer and hunter and fishermen.
I think survival is a lot about brain power and will. No matter how prepared you are you can lose everything in a blink of an eye. I have been researching what type of foods you can eat like dandylions. They are extremely healthy even if I don’t like the taste. Has all the iron, vitamin A, K, a good amount of C and potassium. I at least know what the super foods are and what seeds I should be buying.
I know for those with depression should eat fish for the omega 3s to treat depression ie why I need to be by the lake. I have been learning about composting and fertilizers. I also have to delay my plans to build anything on my dad’s property until I get written documentation that I am getting 5 acreas to do as I please.
