Preparation For The Average Person

Welcome to The Penned Prepper

Contrary to popular belief, you do not need a million or two dollars in your back pocket in order to prepare yourself and your family for an emergency.

The Problem

Right now there are two major scenarios in the emergency preparedness community.

Option 1 – The ‘crazy preppers’ who are ready to bunker down in their secret mountain hideouts, guns blazing at anybody who dares breathe in their direction, with a 50+ year supply of beef jerky.

Option 2 – The ‘all-is-well’ group who are not afraid of anything bad happening to them because ‘the government will take care of me.’

There’s not really an in-between. So where do those cautiously aware civilians go? How does the local small homeowner or apartment dweller get the education and the resources they need to get their home and family prepared in the case of an emergency?

The Solution

Enter The Penned Prepper.

No longer do you need to own 50 acres in the mountains or plan on bunkering down with Uncle Joe the next state over. Now you and your family can be ready for anything and everything, whether you live in small-town suburbia or you’re a big city urbanite.

Welcome to The Penned Prepper. Where you don’t have to be ‘psycho’ to be ‘prepared’.

So tell me: do you live in the big city, do you live out in the rural country, or do you live in suburbia? Click on the image that relates to you and you’ll find all the articles that pertain to your situation.
