Kickstart 2025: Essential Prepper Goals for the New Year | episode 316
Inventory Check
Before diving into new projects, take stock of what you already have. Go through your food storage, medical supplies, and gear. Check expiration dates, identify gaps, and ensure your emergency kits are fully stocked. An annual inventory review helps prevent waste and guarantees you’re not left scrambling in a crisis.
Plan Your Garden
A self-sufficient food source is invaluable. Start planning your 2025 garden now. Research crops suited for your climate, map out planting schedules, and order seeds early. Even small urban gardens can yield a surprising amount of food. Consider adding medicinal herbs and perennial plants that will provide long-term benefits.
Learn One New Skill a Month
Survival skills are perishable – if you don’t use them, you lose them. Make it a goal to learn or refine one new skill every month. Whether it’s basic first aid, canning, woodworking, or foraging, continuous learning enhances self-reliance. Enroll in workshops, watch online tutorials, and practice regularly.
Make a Budget and Stick with It
Prepping can get expensive if you’re not careful. Establish a realistic budget that prioritizes essential purchases and training. Break larger projects into manageable steps to avoid burnout or financial strain. By staying disciplined, you’ll steadily build your resources without sacrificing financial stability.
This year, stay organized, keep learning, and grow stronger in your preparedness journey. Tune into the podcast for a deeper dive into these goals and practical tips to help you thrive in 2025!
