How to Be Prepared for Anything
(or, What I Wish I Knew When I Started Prepping)
When a person becomes a prepper, they often go through a “waking up” phase to all the potential risks one could face. It can be an overwhelming amount of information to take in. There is a desire to get prepared for anything and everything.
A decade ago, I became a prepper and went through that “waking up” process. In that time, I’ve made some huge mistakes and learned a lot of both what to do, and what not to do.
Taking in all the information in prepping books, on YouTube prepper channels, online forums, current events, etc., I had moments of absolute panic. How I could possibly get prepared for all these different SHTF scenarios?
This also isn’t just a problem for new preppers. Long-time preppers can fall into this trap too. Just check out the panic every time North Korea tests a missile, or Russia sends ships or planes too close to our borders.
That type of “I need to get prepped for everything right now!” panic is a recipe for a lot of wasted time, energy, and money. You don’t need to do that. There is a better approach. This better approach is what we will cover in this episode.
This episode will cover what you need to survive in any situation, even those long-term, worst case scenario situations. We will also talk about the traps that preppers both new and old fall into, and how to avoid them. How you apply this approach to your household, to your region, to your biggest concerns, and to your budget are entirely up to you.
You may not be able to foresee every potential crisis coming. But, if you prepare intelligently, you will be able to adapt your preps to any emergency.

About: The Herbal Prepper Live
Tune in live every Sunday evening for Herbal Prepper Live, hosted by herbalist and preparedness author Cat Ellis. Cat will show you how a holistic approach to health using natural medicine will make you more prepared for any emergency.
Join us live to discuss both acute and chronic health conditions that will need care, even if the medical system were to collapse. Would you know how to help a loved one if there were no hospital or pharmacy available? From preventative measures to infections to first aid and emergency care, you need to know how to care for your health care needs.
Herbal Prepper Live is one herbalist’s opinion on alternatives to modern medicine during a total collapse of our way of life. In this hypothetical scenario, there are no doctors, EMTs, hospitals, or pharmacies. Herbal medicine can provide life-saving options in this kind of environment.
This show is also for the individual who prefers to step outside the system. Preppers, survivalists, and homesteaders are highly independent and self-sufficient people. Many of us just prefer to choose more sustainable, holistic health care, like that found in nutritional therapy with real and traditional foods, herbal remedies, mycology, midwifery, and therapeutic movement.
Whether you prefer to use natural medicine as your “plan B” or as your primary path to health is solely your choice, and no one else’s. That’s what health freedom is all about. Herbal Prepper Live can help you plot out your “plan B” and strengthen your independence from a vulnerable medical system.
However, the time to learn such skills is right now while times are still good. Be sure to listen every Sunday evening at 7pm E / 6pm C / 5pm M / 4pm P. Remember to join us live in the chat room!
