The 10 Commandments and Five Tenets of Prepping. The Survival Triangle(c). These are the guiding principles of prepping. Fire (heat), Shelter, Water, Food, and Self-Preservation are the necessities in any Stuff-Hits-The-Fan (SHTF) or Significant Life Altering Event (SLAE). The Prepper's Survival Guide: An Introduction to Prepping and a Guide to Fire will provide an in-depth understanding of the key principles to being a successful prepper as well as a detailed understanding of all things Fire. I dismiss the notion that you have to be a 'doomsday' prepper in order to survive a natural or manmade disaster. By having a fundamental understanding of what a prepper is and what a prepper does will prepare you for most SLAE or SHTF events. Understanding the basic requirements, as modeled by The Survival Triangle(c), will provide safety and comfort to your family, group, or organization. The Survival Triangle(c) models the elements and interdependences required for proper prepping. I share the knowledge and experience of expert preppers, survivalist, and homesteaders on the importance of Fire. For many preppers fire is the first requirement in any SLAE or SHTF disaster. Fire provides heat and light which can be used for many things to including cooking, sterilizing wounds, warding off danger, lighting a path, calming bees, and so much more. But what would you do if matches, lighters, and wood were not available? This Guide provides alternatives that have been time tested in addition to providing alternatives to modern technology. Preppers live by the basics and always have alternative methods and techniques available. D
