20 MUST-HAVES for beginner preppers.

In today’s video, I’m breaking down the 20 Must-Have Items for every beginner prepper. Whether it’s a power outage, a natural disaster, or a sudden evacuation, these are the tools that bridge the gap between panic and peace of mind.
​Most people wait until the shelves are empty to start looking for these. Don't be that person. I’ve vetted these items for reliability and value—check out my "Must-Have" list below!

​????️ THE BEGINNER PREP SHOPPING LIST
The Beginner Prep: 20 Must-Haves
​Fire Extinguisher & Fire Blanket – Pro-Tip: Get a dedicated kitchen extinguisher and a fire blanket for easy reach.
​Extra Blankets – Wool or Mylar-lined are best for heat retention.
​Duct Tape – The "fix-all" for shelter and gear repair.
​Work Gloves – Leather or cut-resistant for clearing debris.
​Bleach – Unscented only for water purification and sanitation.
​Yard Trash Bags (Largest) – Can be used for waste, ponchos, or improvised shelter.
​Large Tarp – Essential for covering broken windows or creating a dry area.
​NOAA Weather Radio – Look for a solar/wind-up model with a USB charging port.
​Cash ($200 minimum) – Keep in small denominations ($1, $5, $10).
​Camp Stove (Butane) – Great for indoor-safe cooking during power outages.
​Mr. Buddy Heater – The gold standard for indoor-safe emergency heat.
​Portable Solar Power Bank – Keep your phone and radio juiced up for free.
​Multi-Tool – Saves weight by replacing a whole toolbox.
​Manual Can Opener – Don't get stuck with food you can't open!
​Reliable Light Source – Headlamps are better than flashlights because they keep your hands free.
​Trauma Kit / First Aid – Start with a kit and add a tourniquet and chest seals.
​Shelf Stable Food – Rice, beans, and canned meats you actually like to eat.
​Collapsible Water Container – Store 5+ gallons easily when a storm is coming.
​Water Filter Straw – A "LifeStraw" or "Sawyer Mini" is a lifesaver for questionable water.
​Seasonal Change of Clothes – Don't forget sturdy boots and extra socks.
