r/TwoXPreppers
The r/Preppers community is divided. Female preppers are less likely than men to share their worries with the public. While r/Preppers has a lot of value for male preppers. R/TwoXPreppers focuses on female preppers. It is a forum where women can discuss topics of interest to female preppers.
Survival Mom
The Survival Mom is probably a female prepper. These moms were prepared for any kind of disaster, including the recent pandemic. They were also experts in how to survive, quarantine, and manage it. This website has helpful tips and advice for anyone preparing to face a natural or man-made disaster.
Doomsday castle
This National Geographic Channel television documentary follows the story an American family that builds a self-sufficient castle in order to protect their loved ones from the next global downturn. The series follows Brent Sr., who is a self-proclaimed prepper and his wife and two kids who live in the castle. The family believes that the end of the world is near, and they are ready to take action to prepare.
Diva cups or Instead cups
You will need to choose which menstrual cup you want if you are a female prepper. The most well-known option is the Divacup, which is also one among the most environmentally friendly. Its popularity has led to some companies manufacturing it becoming environmentally friendly, and it has earned over 4.5 stars on Amazon from more than 2000 users. Although it may seem like a big commitment to be green, Diva has a lot for female preppers.
Gun rights
There are misconceptions about women's rights to guns, but these do not need to be. The National Crime Victimization Survey found that 23 of the 23 victims were women, with 13 of them being justified. Gun rights for women must not be frowned upon or misunderstood. Women need to educate themselves about gun safety. This will allow them to protect themselves and others should they be in danger.
Care for children
Finding child care for female preppers is a problem. Child care was largely the responsibility for mothers before the recession. Now, mothers spend about twice as much time raising their children as their male counterparts. Meanwhile, the national unemployment rate is less than 4%, and it's even lower in some states. All these pressures on parents and women's career are why the child care workforce is so small.
Education
Prepping is a predominantly male world. Forum members make up the majority of prepper community members. Since the Russian invasion, tensions have emerged within the community, and female members have begun to leave the prepper community in droves. These tensions have cast doubt on the definition of prep. Women must not be forgotten. Female preppers can, and should, educate themselves to be better prepared and more resilient in the event that an apocalypse occurs.
Skillset
It is essential that female preppers have the skills to defend themselves. These skills go beyond just physical fitness. If you're a prepper woman, you can learn how to survive a SHTF by looking around at the people you live with. Whether you live in the city or the country, you can practice observational skills like identifying edible plants and animals. You may consider adopting a dog if your cat is an owner.
