Over 150 Non Food Preps - Ep28

Over 150 Non Food Preps - Ep28

Author: Allison ThisPreparedLife February 8, 2023 Duration: 14:26

I talk a lot about food storage, but nonfood preps are just as important. Here are over 150 nonfood prep items from a recent post on my Instagram titled If You Use It, Prep It. So get a pen and paper and get ready to take some notes.

Preparedness is nothing more than planning for the things to come, and we each get to decide what that looks like for our families. Maybe that's one extra of the items you use regularly, or maybe that's several months or years worth. The only wrong answer is not to prep at all.

What would you add to the list? Share your responses in the comments! I welcome newcomers to homesteading and preparedness here at TPL. We all started somewhere and had help getting where we are now.

There's a certain rhythm to building a life that feels both rooted and resilient, a practice that moves beyond stockpiling supplies to cultivating genuine skills and community. This Prepared Life, hosted by Allison, explores exactly that-the intersection of modern homesteading and thoughtful preparedness from a grounded, feminine perspective. This isn't about fear; it's about confidence built through reclaiming lost arts and practical knowledge. Each episode feels like a conversation with a knowledgeable friend, delving into the expected topics of food preservation, gardening, and self-reliance, but always through a lens of encouragement and shared experience. The focus here is on the slow and steady journey, emphasizing how women can support one another in building capable, intentional lives. Tuning into this podcast, you'll find a refreshing take on what it means to be truly prepared, focusing on the skills and the community that make a sustainable lifestyle possible, all while moving at a pace that feels manageable and real. Allison’s approach transforms preparedness from a daunting task into a series of achievable, empowering steps, making the homesteading path accessible to anyone starting from scratch or looking to deepen their existing practice.
