Tips for Preppers moving into the Suburbs

 Some Tips and Ideas for Preppers who are moving into the Suburbs

  1. Avoid Home Owner Associations at all cost


Home Owner Associations (HOAs) can be a nightmare for preppers living in the suburbs. These organizations often have strict rules and regulations that can limit your ability to prepare for emergencies. For example, some HOAs may prohibit outdoor storage of supplies or illegally restrict the installation of alternative energy sources like solar panels.

  1. Get a home with as much land as possible

When looking for a home in the suburbs, it's important to prioritize properties with larger yards or acreage. This will give you more space to grow food, raise animals, and store supplies. It also provides a buffer between you and your neighbors, giving you more privacy and security.


  1. Prepare to get your property fenced off

In many suburban areas, there are zoning laws and regulations that require fencing around properties. This can be beneficial for preppers as it allows you to create a secure perimeter around your property. However, be sure to research any specific requirements or restrictions within your community before installing a fence.\

  1. Move to a community that will allow you to have chickens or small animals

Having the ability to raise chickens or other small animals on your property can provide a valuable source of food in an emergency. Look for suburban communities that have lenient regulations on backyard farming and do your research before making any moves.


  1. If possible have a water well built as a alternative source of water and create a rain container system from your roof.

These can be valuable assets in times of emergency, providing a self-sufficient source of water for your household.

  1. Get solar panels on your roof and as much battery back up storage as you can for your home 's electricity.

Solar panels can provide an alternative source of energy for your home, reducing your dependence on the grid. In addition, battery backup storage allows you to store excess solar energy for use during power outages or emergencies.

  1. Have a prepper garden to include fruit trees and other perennial plants

Planting a prepper garden with fruits, vegetables, and herbs can provide a sustainable source of food for your household. Additionally, including fruit trees and perennial plants in your garden can ensure a continuous harvest year after year.

  1. Buy a Harvest Right Freeze Dryer to freeze dry food for long-term storage

A Harvest Right Freeze Dryer allows you to preserve food by removing moisture, making it shelf-stable for up to 25 years. This can be a valuable investment for preppers looking to stockpile food supplies for emergencies.

  1. Start simple with guns, get a 12 gauge shot gun, a 5.56 AR style semi rifle, a 9mm pistol and a 308 bolt action rifle
  2. Learn how to Hunt and How to Fish

Having basic knowledge about hunting and fishing can be essential in providing food for your household during emergencies. Take the time to learn proper techniques and regulations to ensure a successful hunt or catch

  1. Have a backup source of communication, such as a satellite phone , CB Radio, GMRS , HAM or other radio other than cellphone

During emergencies, traditional communication methods such as cell phones may not be reliable. Having a backup source of communication, like a satellite phone or radio, can ensure that you can reach out for help or stay informed about the situation. It is important to familiarize yourself with the device and its operation before an emergency occurs.

  1. Invest in a water filtration system

Clean drinking water is crucial for survival, and during emergencies, access to clean water may be limited. Investing in a water filtration system can provide you with a sustainable source of clean drinking water. Make sure to regularly maintain and replace filters as needed


13 Try to find or built a home with a fireplace

Having a fireplace can provide a source of heat and cooking during emergencies when traditional heating methods may not be available. If you are unable to find or build a home with a fireplace, consider alternative options such as portable wood stoves or camping stoves. It is important to have a backup plan for heating and cooking in case of an emergency

 You ever watch Starship Troopers ?  Earth battles bugs from outer space. I guess Earth won because we are now eating bugs. Companies have started to use insect protein as a SUSTAINABLE ALTERNATIVE to cows and chickens . They say that bugs are a good source of protein and other nutrients, and can be produced with less pollution than cows or pigs  and chickens Yes they do blame Cow Flatuence Another reason why companies are turning to insect protein as a sustainable alternative is because of the negative environmental impact caused by traditional livestock farming, specifically in terms of cow farts. Cows and other ruminant animals produce methane gas as a byproduct of their digestion process which contributes significantly to greenhouse gas emissions. In fact, according to the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization, livestock farming is responsible for 14.5% of global greenhouse gas emissions. In contrast, insects do not produce methane gas or other harmful gase...

12 planting tips for a better Prepper Garden

    Some key point for your Prepper Garden 1. Use raised garden beds by buying water troughs for animals. I have 40- and 110-gallon size  ones. They are great for deep rooted veggies like carrots and potatoes. Raised garden beds are a great way to maximize space and improve the quality of your soil. While traditional in-ground gardens can become compacted and lack nutrients over time, raised beds allow for better drainage and easier soil maintenance. Consider using water troughs, typically used for animal feeding, as they come in various sizes and provide ample depth for deep-rooted vegetables such as carrots and potatoes. Make sure you drill holes on the bottom to facilitate  proper drainage. 2. Start composting with kitchen scraps and yard waste to create nutrient-rich soil for your garden. Composting is a great way to reduce household waste and create a sustainable source of nutrients for your garden. You can start by collecting kitchen scraps such as fruit a...
