How many of us?

Hey everyone im a 14 year old male in Vic, Aus need some advise for things I could do, at the moment I store bottles of water and canned foods and go hunting with my Compound Bow, im about to start a small farm and designing traps. Anyone got other ideas I could use?

 

[Brent S]

I guess that would make me a fossilized teen!

I'll second that.

howdy dylan.a garden and canning is a big pluse for long term food storage.plus you get every day foods from the garden at the same time.just make sure the store bought foods and what foods you grow,are foods you already eat..

You could set up a rain water collecting system. That way you could use that water to water your small farm. Keep in mind pests though. Lost about 3 average size rows of beats to pests a few years back.

Hey guys , Im about 14 years old and new to prepping ... Everyone in my family thinks it is stupid! Im the only guy who is prepared (in my family) I live in the netherlands so no problem with the weather of all .
Im not prepared Yet .. I do a lot of combat training and survived with 1fellow man in the jungle for over a month! So a few tactics i know .. Im also a model builder -?; ive build the whole neighbourhood and made a plan how to prepare it as best as you can .. There are no guns allowed in my country so knifes and other equipment will do it . I hope so also i build already a garden that will provide our whole neighbourhood of food ... Nobody really knows that im prepping soo what to do?...

Welcome lilprep, I'm currently in Germany but only a few minutes and I'm in the Netherlands. The no guns is a double sided blade though, we can't have them but others can't either so that works out. Look into picking up a bow. Every the cheap, decathlon geologic ones for targets make great bows for defence. Not that there is no problem with the weather but it is different than north america. We get wind and more rain than they do and a large part of the Netherlands is under sea level. In an extended SHTF the dikes will break (or they won't be able to adjust to the raising and lowering tides and then flood) take that in mind when you are thinking about food. Start small, a garden for a full street is a big goal. Slow and steady is the way to go with prepping. I've been working with my parents over the last few months after waiting almost 2 years to talk to them. Don't rush it. Something will happen that will show why prepping is beneficial. Again, start small, think ahead and you will do great. Also, welcome to the forum

Hey guys I am new-ish to the forum, I just turned 18 in December. I live in central Illinois, USA. In a small town surrounded by corn/bean fields and woodlands and wetlands/a river right next to my town, floods and tornados are a big threat. I haven't told my parents yet that I prep but they know I am all about outdoors and survival and etc so I think they'll cooperate. I have very little gear so far but I am working on it. It's a struggle due to my financial situation. But I am slowly gearing up more. I have a few knives, a tomahawk, an army duffle bag with some food and clothes and some wool army blankets and a small hiking pack with some camping supplies and a slingshot. I'm saving for a 22 pack rifle at this moment in time.

I wonder how many people think preppers WANT a SHTF situation? I certainly don't.

Go without power and no trips to the store, no using your cell phone, etc. for a few days. THEN tell me you want to see it.....

 

[jimLE]

yeah i wanna see it happen.but only for 7 to 20 days at most,just to see how ppl respond to it.and hopfully the ones that dont n wont prep see how things will and trully be after tshtf happens on a long term situation.even 2 to 4 days with no heat,electric,food,water,etc etc will show them that its best to be prepared for short term if nothing else..

You'd be better off with an actual pellet gun. Wouldn't be lethal, but could still at least hurt, vs. airsoft. (and kill small game)

I'm a small guy, like 5"4, would you give me advice on how to grow my intimidation skill, I mean I can like creep people out by saying I'm a messenger of satan, but it wouldn't work in the actual world of people who arent scared of that stuff.

 

[Jake-prepper_hopeful]

How much do you weigh?

 

[zombie~apocalypse]

102-106lbs

 

[Jake-prepper_hopeful]

Have you tried bulking up a bit? Maybe a work out?

 

[zombie~apocalypse]

I'm on the varsity wrestling team

 

[jimLE]

have you thought about martial arts? if you at least learn to break 1x4's or 1x6's..people might start thinking twice about you..

 

[zombie~apocalypse]

I see. It mite work. Alright I shall try that, cause I am good with weapons, and I make my own so idk ya

 

[tntboy13]

I feel that intimidation is a large part delivery and a small part content. If you learn how to be agressive and take agressive stances, I believe it's a good start.

 

[zombie~apocalypse]

Ok. Got it thanks

 

[tntboy13]

Plus slightly demented phrases are good... It's what gives em that scare. I won't post any because I think you get the idea...

 

[zombie~apocalypse]

Ya I know what you mean

 

[Haashim]

I'm a teen prepper as well

Nice to have you!

 

[Chase]

I am a teen prepper I am looking for help to convince my friends and parents to support me.

 

[jimLE]

howdy chase..like it's its been suggested before..might try the different natural disasters that already take place where you live.be it tornados hurricane tunammies earthquaks floods winter storms etc etc..ever get stranded out some where,,where you/they couldnt get home,no food or drink? ever end up having no choice but to stay home due to to much snow n ice on the roads? downed trees and power lines? just to end up with no food or drink.and maybe no electric which means no heat.cant flush toilet(s) because there's no water for it/them..

Good luck. Lol. Not much you can do, I tried, and I only have one friend on board, who is a conspiracy theorist, who believes everything from the music industry being part of the illuminati to the 9/11 theory, he believes anything on the internet, but all my other friends don't care. But good luck trying to convince them, your parents are a different story, just tell me you want to make an emergency of natural disaster bag, for like earthquakes or tornados or tsunamis.
