I'm a teen prepper I know that there are more on here just don't know any names on the top of my head

 

[tntboy13]

There used to be a big group of teens, but they're all busy nowadays. Can't blame em though, I'm just trying to keep up with all the tasks at hand

 

[Trapper]

I'm a old teenager at heart......does that count?

 

[tntboy13]

Of course it does!

 

[Tyler]

I know quiet a few teenage preppers, they are busy now but I talk to them. The thing that I found was the hardest thing was letting my parents know. If any teenage preppermwants my advice let me know. I found it hard but built up to it and know a few things that went well and things that didn't

 

[tntboy13]

If you wish, I put up a separate thread for exactly those kinds of questions and answers, please feel free to share your experiences there!

I guess that would make me a fossilized teen!

Here's one. 14 and alone in my family. Everyone else thinks it's stupid, so I'm kind of on my own. I just keep a backpack full of MREs, first aid supplies, a couple of pocket knives and about 30 extra shells for my 12 gauge next to my nightstand.

 

[Tyler]

Welcome OneHitWonder. May I suggest that you make an extra bag or two with the same contents basically. I'd like to say also that maybe adding a tarp and some 550 paracord. Great start though. Just keep working with your parents

Also, a bed roll may not be a bad idea to help insulate you from the ground. Can also be done with leaves, but man a bed roll would be comfortable. I'd also suggest getting some warm winter gloves if you are in a cold climate. Frozen hands won't do you much good and will make your survival infinitely more difficult. I dont know if you watch DDP on nat geo, but a guy was using a big fresnel lens and was burning wood instantaneously with it. Might not be a bad idea for a couple of bucks to pick one up as another way to start a fire

My dad has a lot of camping supplies such as matches and a tent. He isn't a prepper, but I'm 100% positive he will let us use his stuff in a doomsday scenario.

 

[Amy98]

I'm 15 and know quite a few teens that prep!

 

[gimpdog]

I have the maturity level of a teen.

You guys deserve around of applause, when you are an old fart like myself you will be way ahead of the game. Great job, keep it up.

I'm 15 and just started prepping. Only one in the family. I live on a farm and I know a lot about gardening and farming.

[Jacob]

I just joined. Not a teen for long though.

I can't stop hoping this happens in my lifetime. Preferably soon. Anyone else on board?.

 

[tntboy13]

Woah there Jacob, did I just see that you want shtf to happen?

 

[tntboy13]

Everyone is definitely entitled to their opinion, but I must ask why you would want such an event to happen?

 

[cyclingjames]

i sort of see what you mean, assuming you mean that the sooner it happens, the sooner we can start rebuilding society ( & hopefully do a better job of it).
Get it over and done with
