Traditional preppers focus on the family unit. In contrast, community preppers focus on the survival of whole communities. We are antifascist community preppers.

Washington:

Along with the upcoming #ShakeOut drill, tsunami sirens will be tested along the Washington coast on Oct. 19 at 10:19 a.m. This would be a great time to practice your tsunami evacuation route! Register your ShakeOut drill.

CW Domestic Violence

⚠ If you have a hidden safety phone, it will make a sound on October 4th.

This sound will happen even if you have your notifications set to silent.

FEMA National Emergency Alert will bypass the silence settings.

Have a multitool with tools that are very hard or impossible to open, despite cleaning and oiling? The bolts may be too tight. If the bolt has an asterix indentation, it requires a Torx key aka star hex key.

⚠ Don't losen bolts too much, or the blades may unsheath in your pocket!

"Do It Yourself" (DIY) gear alteration.

Want the very fancy $36 emergency bivy, but can only afford the fancy $8 emergency blanket?

Maybe you or someone you know has supplies that can bridge the gap.

(Gratitude to the person who shared the idea!)

Tips for prepping on a budget

A thread:

1. Spread out the cost. Put a kit together over the course of 1-2 years. (I only just got double AA batteries this month.)

2. Shop the sales - frequent sale-checking boosts success.
(These paper bowls were on massive sale today!)
