The Prepper Games

The Olympics are in full swing featuring athletes performing faster, higher, and stronger than ever before.  I can’t ski down a mountain at 80 miles per hour or do a triple axel, but if preppers had Olympic games, I might be in medal contention in some of these events.

Speed fire starting.  Choose your favorite fire starting method and race to get dinner cooked over the fire you built.  Silver medal if you can cook something nobody complains about.  Gold for getting it done before the children start roasting marshmallows.

Three kilometer snow and mud hike.  Down and up and down and up again through the snow and mud.  Silver medal for hauling a toddler in a baby backpack the entire way.  Gold if you can keep him asleep.

Diving.  Into a project without fully researching it.  Like the honeybees.  Only took three years to get that one right.  Silver medal for trying again.  Gold if you double down on your efforts the third time and finally get it right!

Archery or biathlon.  Shooting stuff is always good.  Except we’re not aiming at some bulls-eye target.  We’re aiming at dinner.  Silver medal for field dressing your own meat.  Gold if you can butcher and process it yourself.

Long distance communication.  How far away can you be and still be in contact with family members?  Silver medal for having more than one communication method.  Gold for earning a ham radio license.

Weightlifting.  Haul a six gallon bucket of wheat down to the basement.  Then haul it back up.  Silver medal if you can carry one in each hand.  Gold for bringing a pack of toilet paper up at the same time.

What about you?  What Prepper Games could you medal in?

Keep preparing!
