How to Be a Survivalist on a Budget

Some people have no idea how they are going to be able to afford to be a survivalist as it can be like outfitting yourself with a second set of everything. You will need extra storage containers, clothing, water filters, rope, gardening equipment, backpacks, tents, purification tablets, knives. You will need all sorts of stuff!

The idea is to take some money out of your monthly budget and devote it exclusively to equipping yourself with those emergency supplies. Keep in mind that you do not have to buy everything at once. Start by buying bug out bags and stalking them with some food and clothing.  Start with the basics and think about water, fire and food!  Many grocery stores have one dollar sales nowadays that sell canned goods for less than a dollar a can.

The way to get ahead and save for this type of emergency is to eliminate wasteful spending. There are all kinds of things you can do to get more bucks such as get rid of your cable or buy more generically. Use credit cards for emergencies and not for convenience shopping or spur of the moment purchases and you will cut down on monthly expenses so that you can invest in some survivalist necessities.

It is also a good idea to shop for your food stuffs wisely. Always take advantage of sales, especially on canned goods, thermal blankets, rope, socks and that kind of thing.  You can also find things like used Swiss Army Knives in military surplus stores and also in thrift stores. Military surplus stores can also have camping gear, cook-out kits, tents and all kinds of things that can be of great assistance if you are on the run because of a disaster. For instance, if you live in an area where flooding is a big problem you can often get bargains on supplies like rubber rafts or outboard engines. Keep an eye on eBay for things like this. There are always affordable used and new stuff for sale on the auction sites that can be bought in bulk and used to outfit your bug out bag, your car and your emergency shelter.

Yet another great place to get stuff cheap is at estate and garage sales. In this scenario you can get everything that you need for pennies on the dollar.

To get this done it helps to write out a budget that works with your household income and expenditures so that you can figure out how much you can spend on things like water filters, flat-tire fixes and extra blankets. Get it all down on paper so you can be organized and strategic when it comes to developing emergency contingency plans.
