Ever wonder what kind of resources are out there for the survival-minded?  Nationwide, “prepper networks” are an amazing resource for survival and emergency preparedness information.  Most states in the USA have a network, and there are many groups for specialized interests, such as Ham Radio Operators.  There are also groups for many political and religious organizations.

 What will you get out of joining your local Prepper’s Network?  These networks cover a wide variety of topics, including:

• how to build an emergency kit
• how to stockpile and store food
• the kind of natural disasters that might occur in your area, and how to prepare for them
• free resources, such as survival e-books
• information about emergency preparedness programs offered by your state

 Take this example to see what kinds of resources are available from your local prepper’s network: the Alabama Prepper’s Network recently published a list of the Top 10 Survival Downloads You Should Have.  The high-quality books include Army survival handbooks and emergency medical and dental guides.  Take the time to check these resources out – they are definitely worth your time.
