Why RIGHT NOW Is the BEST Time to Get Prepared (Before It’s Too Late)

There’s an old saying among preppers: “The best time to prepare was yesterday. The second best time is today.” Based on what I'm seeing, I’d argue that the very best time to prepare might be right now — in the few months ahead of us.

Why? Because the conditions for preparedness are more favorable than they’ve been in over a decade. Ammo prices have dropped. Firearms are widely available again. Food costs have stabilized after years of inflation. Solar and communications technology are cheaper and more capable than ever. For those who’ve been waiting for the “perfect time” to invest in self-reliance, this might be it.

We’ve entered a rare window of calm — but history tells us calm never lasts. Global tensions are rising. Economic and political cycles are shifting. The opportunity to quietly build resilience and strengthen your family’s readiness won’t stay open forever.

Now is the time to:

• Replenish your ammo and supplies while prices are low

• Invest in training, skills, and community connections

• Upgrade your solar, communications, and backup power systems

• Revisit your preparedness plan with fresh eyes

Complacency is the enemy of preparedness. Whether you’re new to prepping or a long-time survivalist, take this time seriously. Prepare wisely, quietly, and thoroughly. The peace you feel today may very well be the calm before the storm.
