Hey Prepper!

❄️Happy New Year! 🎆 Can you believe it’s 2025 already?

As we say goodbye to 2024 and all its surprises, challenges, and triumphs, it’s time to focus on what lies ahead.

This isn’t just another year—it’s a fresh chapter.

A chance to fine-tune your preparedness, deepen your skills, and ensure that no matter what comes your way, you and your loved ones are ready to face it with confidence.

Let’s kick off the year with a mindset of resilience and a commitment to being stronger, smarter, and more prepared. Here’s how we’re welcoming 2025 in true Prepped and Ready style!

When the grid goes down, your home’s heating system can’t rely on electricity to keep things warm. Here’s what to do:

1️⃣ Reflect, Review, and Reset 📝

The New Year is the perfect time to look back at your progress and plan for the future.

Ask Yourself:

• What went well last year? Did you finally organize your prepper pantry or master fire-building? Celebrate those wins! 🎉

• What can improve? Maybe your water storage plan needs updating, or your first aid kit could use restocking.

• What new skills do you want to learn? From foraging to advanced first aid, this is your year to grow.

Pro Tip:

Write down three preparedness goals for 2025. Keep them visible—stick them on your fridge, your desk, or even your prepping supplies.

2️⃣ New Year, New Skills 🛠️❄️

What’s a better way to embrace the New Year than by mastering a new survival skill? Pick one or two goals to focus on this season.

Skills to Consider:

• Winter Navigation: Practice reading topographic maps and using a compass in snowy conditions.

• Emergency Cooking: Learn to cook hearty meals using only a solar cooker or campfire.

• Advanced First Aid: Take a course in CPR or wilderness medicine.

Interactive Idea:

Challenge a friend or family member to join you in learning a new skill. Teamwork makes it fun, and you’ll both benefit from the shared experience.

3️⃣ Restock and Refresh Your Supplies 🧰

Start the year strong by ensuring your supplies are up to date and ready for action.

Check Your Gear:

• Expiration Dates: Replace expired items in your food stockpile and first aid kits.

• Gear Inspection: Test flashlights, check batteries, and clean tools like knives and multi-tools.

• Add What’s Missing: Did you wish for a better water filter or a portable heater last year? Make 2025 the year you get it.

4️⃣ Family Preparedness: A Team Effort 🤝

Preparedness isn’t a solo journey—it’s a family mission. Make sure everyone in your household is on the same page.

Fun Ways to Involve the Family:

• Family Drills: Practice evacuation routes or shelter-in-place scenarios.

• Prepper Movie Night: Watch survival-themed movies and discuss what the characters did right—and wrong. 🎥

• Create a Prepper Calendar: Assign monthly goals, like building a car emergency kit in January or gardening in spring.

5️⃣ Embrace Sustainability in 2025 🌱

Prepping isn’t just about reacting to emergencies—it’s about building a sustainable lifestyle. This year, make small changes that reduce waste and increase self-reliance.

Ideas to Get Started:

• Start a Garden: Grow your own food and learn about preserving it for the future.

• Compost: Turn food scraps into nutrient-rich soil for your plants.

• Repurpose Items: Use mason jars, tin cans, and other materials creatively to store supplies or organize your space.

Scenario Spotlight: New Year, Better Preparedness

It’s early spring, and a storm takes out power in your neighborhood. Thanks to your New Year prepping efforts:

• Your family knows exactly where to find flashlights and emergency candles.

• A solar charger keeps your devices powered and connected.

• Your refreshed pantry is stocked with enough food and water to keep everyone comfortable until the power returns.

Now that’s what we call starting the year off right!
