How can prepping be a game? Because sometimes you lose, and sometimes you win.
The issue is: To try. Get out there and try something. Some people see prepping as stockpiling, or going to the gun range. It is so much more than that.
Plant a garden.
Go fishing.
Go hiking.
Go camping.
Read a book on a new topic.
If you are not growing and learning new stuff, you are stagnate.
Prepping should be more than a hobby, it should be a lifestyle. Almost weekly I take a quick inventory of stuff like:
Current events on a local and global level. Since I live in a rural area, there is rarely anything happening on a local level. The headline of the local news station KJAS is a car show.
A lot of people get upset if something does not go according to plan. We can not always win at everything. Failure is part of learning. If you plant a garden and it does not make, use it as a learning experience.
Recently I learned that hens will sometimes abandon their chicks to sit on eggs. I had three hens go broody.
Two were serious and one quit after a week or so.
One hen hatched out some chicks, but was not caring for them. So I stuck those chicks under the other hen and she adopted them. Now the chicks are doing fine.
The hen that is sitting hatched out another chick and will probably go under the other hen.
It is rather cool seeing all this play out where I can see it and be able to share it with all of you.

Prepping should be more than a hobby, it should be a lifestyle. Almost weekly I take a quick inventory of stuff like:
- How much chicken feed I have.
- Number of eggs I am getting.
- Is the tractor fueled up.
- Is my truck in working order.
- How do the ammo stocks look.
