You Know You’re a Prepper When… (Finish the Sentence!)

You know you’re a prepper when you see a stack of empty peanut butter jars and think, “Those would make perfect waterproof match containers!” Or maybe it’s when someone mentions their favorite spice and you mentally check off whether you’ve got enough of it in your barter stash. Does anyone else keep a running inventory of their bandages and canned beans in their head while shopping for regular groceries? My family always wonders why I grab that extra bulk salt “just in case.”

Let’s get a good laugh going—finish the sentence: “You know you’re a prepper when…” What’s your silliest or most unexpected prepping moment? Any odd things you hoard for reasons only other preppers would understand? I’ll go first: I once turned a broken rake handle into a potato masher and felt like MacGyver for a week. Bonus: If you’ve rigged up something completely ridiculous for “emergencies,” spill the beans!

Looking forward to hearing your best one-liners
