I
post a daily survival/prepping tip on Facebook and Twitter
(@TimGamble) using the hashtag #SurvivalTip. Here is a list of those
daily tips in one place. This list will be updated often with
additional tips, so please check back often.
#SurvivalTip
1 – Keep your cell phone fully charged at all times.
#SurvivalTip
2 – Keep your vehicles gassed up. Never let them drop below ½
tank.
#SurvivalTip
3 – Carry a lot of EDC gear? Be sure to empty all your pockets
before adding to the wash.
#SurvivalTip
4 – Don't forget about first aid supplies. Include in your EDC,
vehicles, bailout bags, etc.
#SurvivalTip
5 – Physical fitness is very important. Walking, hiking, biking,
and swimming make great exercise for preppers.
#SurvivalTip
6 – Deal now with any dental issues you have, so you don't have to
during an emergency.
#SurvivalTip
7 – Invest in a good road atlas & maps of your area(s). GPS &
Google Maps may not work in an emergency.
#SurvivalTip
8 – Practice good hygiene. Wash your hands before eating, after
using the restroom & after contact with the sick.
#SurvivalTip
9 – Remember to include toothpaste, brushes & dental floss in
your bugout kits and long-term supplies.
#SurvivalTip
10 – Over the years, my Swiss Army Knife has proved to be my most
often useful piece of EDC gear.
#SurvivalTip
11 – Keep a spare jacket, gloves, and toboggan in your vehicle
(consider a blanket, too).
#SurvivalTip
12 – Having extra cash (on you, in your BOB, and at home) is a good
idea. ATMs may be down.
#SurvivalTip
13 – Keep quarters in your car: pay phones, parking meters, air for
tires, drink/snack machines, etc.
#SurvivalTip
14 – Keep your vehicle in good repair. Don't face disaster with bad
brakes or faulty transmission.
#SurvivalTip
15 – Mental attitude is key – build good relationships (family,
friends, neighbors, God...).
#SurvivalTip
16 – Have multiple plans. Unexpected events often force us to
alter/abandon even the best laid plans.
#SurvivalTip
17 – Next to mental attitude, health is the most important factor
in survival. Take care of yours.
#SurvivalTip
18 – Stop smoking. It saps your health and finances, and you don't
want to face withdrawal during a crisis.
#SurvivalTip
19 – Don't try to be Rambo or Wyatt Earp during a crisis. Chances
are you'll only get yourself and family killed.
#SurvivalTip
20 – Guns and ammo are important – and fun – preps, but
survival will entail more than just that...
#SurvivalTip
21 – Home school your kids or send them to private school. Public
schools have become indoctrination centers.
#SurvivalTip
22 – A good, easy read for understanding economics is “Whatever
Happened to Penny Candy?” by Richard J. Maybury
#SurvivalTip
23 – Getting out of debt is hard, but leads to less stress, more
money, and more flexibility in your planning.
#SurvivalTip
24 – Dealing with debt? Check out Dave Ramsey's books, website, and
radio show. Just google "Dave Ramsey."
#SurvivalTip
25 – With shoes and clothes, forget fashion. Go instead for utility
and durability.
#SurvivalTip
26 – Even if you don't need them on a daily basis, a good pair of
steel-toed work boots are a necessity.
#SurvivalTip
27 – When acquiring tools and other gear, quality is more important
than quantity.
#SurvivalTip
28 – Newbie to prepping? Concentrate first on acquiring a few weeks
worth of food and water, as well as basic first aid supplies.
#SurvivalTip
29 – New to prepping? For your first new skill to acquire, take a
good first aid/CPR course.
#SurvivalTip
30 – Homesteading at a remote rural location is many folks idea of
prepping, but there are other ways. Don't fall for the idea that
there is a single correct way for all.
#SurvivalTip
31 – On prescription medications? Work with your Doc to acquire a
60 or 90 day supply, rather than typical 30.
#SurvivalTip
32 – Think safety. Check your smoke detectors. Have a fire
extinguisher or two, and know how to use them.

33 – Think safety. Acquire steel-toed boots, safety glasses, and
work gloves. Use as needed.
#SurvivalTip 34 – Think safety. Remember to lock your doors & windows. Install deadbolts & peep holes.
