The Ordinary Prepper Community is a private Facebook group for readers of this site — homeowners getting a house ready for outages and emergencies, calmly and one fix at a time, comparing notes as they go.
It is run by the Ordinary Prepper Facebook Page. Only members can see what is posted, and joining is free.
What happens in the group
- What we test next — members vote on upcoming comparisons, and the winning topic gets researched first.
- Setup show-and-tell — blackout corners, pantry shelves, water storage, the drawer where the outage gear lives.
- Straight answers — ask a readiness question and compare notes with people solving the same problem at the same kind of house.

New to all this? Run the free emergency checklist first — it sizes food, water, light, and power for your household. Then run your own appliances through the home power sizer to see what your house actually needs.
The house rules, short version
- Help first, and keep it calm and practical.
- No spam and no self-promotion.
- Safety is not optional.
- No buying or selling yet. Product links live in the articles on this site, where prices are checked and dated — not in the group.
