Welcome! I’m Sharon, also known as Vintage Prepper—and yes, my Amazon wishlist is basically a prepper’s dream list.
My prepping journey started the hard way: I live in an area where we only got some wind and rain from hurricanes. Well we got our first direct hit in 2017. The power was out for days, and I realized I wasn’t ready. Since then, I’ve slowly built up my preparedness game—each storm taught me something new, and I’ve felt a little stronger and more confident with every challenge.
But here’s the truth: preparedness isn’t just about hurricanes. It’s about being ready for whatever life throws at you—job loss, economic downturns, civil unrest, or even everyday hiccups like a sudden power outage. What I’ve learned is that you can’t prepare in the middle of a crisis. You have to start now, even with small steps.
That’s why I created this community. Too many people feel unprepared—some because they don’t know where to start, others because they think prepping is too expensive. My mission is to make preparedness practical, affordable, and yes—even a little fun. With survival missions, budget-friendly challenges, and a community that shares both wins and “whoops” moments, you’ll never feel like you’re doing this alone.
So whether you’re here to learn how to build an Emergency Fund on $10/week, Take the %-Day Prep Party Challenge, or just swap tips with fellow preppers—you’re in the right place. Together, we’ll make preparedness less overwhelming, more doable, and something you’ll actually enjoy.
