Learning curve, according to Wikipedia:
A learning curve is a graphical representation of the relationship between how proficient people are at a task and the amount of experience they have. Proficiency usually increases with increased experience, that is to say, the more someone, groups, companies or industries perform a task, the better their performance at the task.Prepping requires learning lots of new skills that require experience and practice. To be a successful prepper you must survive long enough to develop your learning curve on the majority of the necessary skills to maintain your desired life style. Things can either buy you time, accelerate your learning curve, or be used to convert your raw resources into usable supplies.
Regardless of how you plan to provide yourself with food, water, shelter, warmth, and clothing; you are going to need time to develop and refine your methods.
Valuable Things in a post SHTF world
Water - you will not last long without water
Food storage - you will need to eat while you are learning (note it is not a solution in itself)
Information - books
Shelter - Have to stay dry
Energy - be it heat, light, what ever: you will need a sustainable fuel supply and a way to get something useful out of it.
Tools - Hand tools and fasteners
Seeds - for growing food
Animals - for food stuffs
This was just my introduction, the questions to the Forum (You) Are:
What are the most valuable THINGS that we should be getting now with the limited resources that we have?
What should be the balance of the THINGS that we have?
What are the THINGS that we need to be doing now to reduce our survival learning curve?
What are we missing or overlooking?
When posting please think about what you think we need and why do we need it? For example: If you have a book that you are constantly using as a resource please share the title and what it is that makes it such a good resource.
