All I ever do to "prep" is buy a bunch of canned goods and store them in my basement. So I'm not a prepper at all. I'm just a freakin' squirrel.
I'd like to change this, so I've created a list of skills that I want to learn. Here they are:
- Start a fire with a ferro rod
- Learn to tie a few basic knots (half hitch, sheet bend, bowline, etc.)
- Memorize bleach to water ratio for purifying water
- Make a gill net from cord
- Cook something in a solar oven
- Build a working and effective animal trap
- Make a solar still
- Make cheese from powdered milk
- Make butter from heavy cream
- Make a friction fire
- Learn MayDay signals
- Learn basic sign language/hand signals
- Identify and learn how to eat 8 indigenous wild plants
- Learn 2 methods of orientation besides a compass
- Learn to tie a cobra knot paracord bracelet

Your kids will love making butter...all you need is a Mason jar and lots of upper body strength :)
Great list, I will look forward to seeing how it all goes
Ah, I misunderstood what prepping is, then :) I'm a squirrel, too! :)
