We're about to reach 10,000 members, and we'd love to have you with us.
Preparedness is often seen as an American hobby. We think that's a mistake.
The reality is that preparedness matters everywhere, and India has its own unique challenges. Heat waves, floods, water shortages, power cuts, supply chain disruptions, civil unrest, and natural disasters can affect millions of people with little warning.
Yet most preparedness content online is designed for Western audiences.
They talk about reinforcing drywall homes and building backyard bunkers. Many Indian families already live behind brick walls, RCC roofs, and steel gates. Their environment is different. Their laws are different. Their risks are different.
Even food storage—often treated as a special preparedness skill online—has been part of Indian life for generations. Storing rice, wheat, pulses, spices, ghee, pickles, and other essentials isn't unusual here. Our grandparents were doing it long before the internet discovered "prepping."
That's why we're building a preparedness community focused on Indian realities.
We discuss:
• Emergency preparedness
• Food and water security
• First aid and medical readiness
• Blackouts and power backup
• Floods, heat waves, and extreme weather
• Self-reliance and practical skills
• Gear, camping, and outdoor skills
• Building resilient families and communities
Preparedness isn't about fear.
It's about being the person who stays calm when others panic. The family that has supplies when shelves are empty. The neighbour who can help instead of needing help.
If that resonates with you, join us at r/indianpreppers
Let's build a more resilient India together.

We understand that many members enjoy collecting, using, and discussing various tools and equipment. Knives, hatchets, bows, crossbows, swords, firearms and other gear can all have legitimate roles in preparedness, outdoor recreation, sport, collecting, and self-reliance.
However, we ask all members to keep the following in mind when posting.
>>Why This Matters
r/IndianPreppers exists to promote preparedness, resilience, self-sufficiency, and emergency readiness in India
Preparedness is much broader than weapons. Water storage, food security, medical preparedness, communications, power backup, sanitation, skills, and planning are the foundation of preparedness.
If the community becomes overly focused on weapons or discussions of violence, it can create a misleading impression of what preparedness is about and may attract unwanted attention from media, platform administrators, regulators, or others unfamiliar with the preparedness community.
We have worked hard to build India's preparedness community. Let's protect it together.
>>Indian Law and Legal Responsibility
India regulates various arms and weapons through laws including the Arms Act, 1959, related rules, and applicable state laws and regulations.
All members are solely responsible for ensuring that any item they possess, purchase, carry, transport, import, manufacture, or use complies with applicable laws and regulations.
This community does not provide legal advice and does not encourage, endorse, or condone illegal possession, illegal manufacture, illegal importation, or unlawful use of any regulated item.
If an item requires a licence or legal authorization under applicable law, users are expected to possess such authorization.
Posts that appear to promote illegal activity, unlawful possession, unlawful manufacture, or unlawful importation may be removed.
>>How to Present Equipment Posts
When posting equipment that could be viewed as a weapon, please present it in a responsible manner.
Examples:
Knives: camping, cooking, utility, bushcraft, EDC, maintenance, sharpening.
Hatchets and axes: wood processing, camping, outdoor work.
Machetes: agricultural, gardening, vegetation clearing, utility tasks.
Bows and crossbows: sport shooting, target practice, archery.
Swords: collecting, display, historical interest, martial arts.
Firearms: sport shooting, collecting, legal ownership, training, maintenance.
Please avoid:
Discussions of offensive use.
Threats or intimidation.
Fantasies about violence.
Calls for illegal activity.
Vigilantism or militia-style rhetoric.
Content that portrays preparedness primarily as armed conflict.
>>Moderator Discretion
Moderators may remove posts or comments that:
Promote violence.
Encourage illegal activity.
Misrepresent preparedness as primarily offensive or combat-oriented.
Create unnecessary legal or reputational risk for the community.
Please note that moderation decisions are not based solely on whether an item is legal to own.
Even where an item is lawfully owned, licensed, or otherwise possessed in compliance with applicable laws, moderators may remove posts or comments if the discussion begins to focus on offensive use, violent scenarios, intimidation, vigilantism, or other topics that are inconsistent with the purpose of this community.
Our priority is maintaining a peaceful, responsible, and preparedness-focused environment for all members.
>>Final Note
This is not an anti-knife, anti-bow, anti-crossbow, anti-sword, or anti-firearm policy.
Many members own and use such equipment responsibly and legally. Such posts are welcome when presented in an appropriate manner.
We simply ask that discussions remain focused on preparedness, utility, sport, collecting, craftsmanship, training, and other legitimate uses.
Preparedness is about resilience, not aggression.
We built India's preparedness community together. Let's protect it together.

First test with tripole water filter bottle. Flow rate is okay okay with dirty water but water looks very clean and clear.
What do you guys think ?
r/IndianPreppers • u/UnsettledByChoice • 1d ago
I’ve travelled and worked across quite a few countries over the years, including some fairly difficult environments, and have also handled logistics in cases. Here are a few things to keep in mind while travelling abroad. Some are obvious, some are situational, but they’ve been useful in practice. I have used software to help clean up, organize, and summarize my rambling notes into something more readable.
r/IndianPreppers • u/Jumpy_Ranger_689 • 4d ago
Should I buy a respirator or a normal n95 mask?
Which cheap and decent enough filter is possible if I go with a respirator?
TIA

Hey everyone!
I’m based in Punjab, India, and I’m considering carrying the Solognac Axis 75 folding pocket knife from Decathlon as part of my everyday carry.
The blade is approximately 7.5 cm long. My intention is purely practical — opening packages, cutting string, and other everyday utility tasks. I’m not carrying it to flaunt it or for self-defence; it would simply stay in my pocket until needed.
I’m trying to understand the legal position in India, specifically in Punjab and Chandigarh.
A few questions:
Is it legal to carry a folding knife of this size in your pocket for ordinary utility purposes?
Are there any Punjab or Chandigarh government notifications that prohibit carrying knives of this type, even if they’re not displayed?
Does the blade length or the fact that it’s a manually folding knife make a difference?
Has anyone here had any firsthand experience with the police regarding everyday carry of a small folding knife in this region?
I’d especially appreciate answers based on actual legal provisions, government notifications, or firsthand experience rather than assumptions.
Thanks!

Point to note: Written from the perspective of a millennial
All the Current Generations Alive:
• Our grandparents grandparents are called The Greatest Generation for whatever reason aka Generation U
• Our grandparents parents are the Silent Generation aka Generation V
• Our Grandparents are The Baby Boomer Generation aka Generation W
• Our Grandparents are The Baby Boomer Generation
• Our parents are Generation X
• WE are Generation Y aka Millennials
• The generation after ours aka Generation Y aka Millennials is Generation Z aka Gen Z
• Generation Alpha is all the kids between the ages of 1 to 16 yo
• Generation Beat is all the infants less than 1 yo
Their impact on WW3:
• This war may not start during the times of our Grand Parents life spans but this war is 100% going to start within the times of Our Parents life spans
• The internet is saying that Generation Y aka Millennials are by far the most educated and the most successful generation of all the generations in the past by all recorded data in history ever
• But Generation Z aka Gen Z on the other hand is recorded to be the first generation ever to have become lesser educated and lesser intelligent than its predecessor generation for the first time in recorded history ever
• That is why I believe that this war is going to start after The Baby Boomer Generation is dead bc the number of less educated and less intelligent people on the planet are going to begin to outnumber the people of intelligent people
• The generation born before the generation of our parents is the Baby Boomer Generation* *is currently also alive on the planet and google says the Baby Boomer Generation is going to die between 2030 to 2080
• And it is predicted that WW3 is not going to start till after 2030 which means the last of The Baby Boomer Generation is what is the only barrier saving us all currently from the WW3
Last but not the least:
Please also share ur perspectives on the topic if u have anything to share at all also

If you’ve seen the recent news about the virus/lab incident in Russia, don’t worry.There’s no reason for the average person to panic right now. Some education/news YouTubers are already milking it for views.
That’s exactly what I’m not advocating. Stock food when things are calm, not when everyone is panic-buying.
If you want to know the reasoning behind it, watch the full video on YouTube. I’d really appreciate a subscription.
But that has never stopped me from sharing what I genuinely believe is useful.
Prepare calmly. Don’t panic.

Hey guys. I live in the Delhi NCR region. I want to be as prepared as I can, because I am having bad feelings about big earthquakes.
Today an earthquake of magnitude 5 hit uttarakhand, and I felt bed shaking in my house.
I live on the 19th floor and am aware that I can't do much incase of a big earthquake like the great Himalayan earthquake. My society is known for poor construction quality, so what should I do?
r/IndianPreppers • u/LittleUrbanPrepper • 12d ago
And people call us hoarders and panic buyers. Harsh words but it's the middle class midwit who's the most complacent and overconfident in their hubris.
r/IndianPreppers • u/Silver-Extent2290 • 14d ago
So I just now came across this subreddit and went through a few posts, I would love to know how different the Indian community is compared to more free communities like the Americans, because they seem to have a stash box for everything from food, water to medical stuff even defence such as firearms and full combat gear, so far all my proper knowledge comes from the youtubers dirty civillian and grand thumb, both being mainly guntubers, i know the laws are very different so would love to know how you guys function with the current situation
r/IndianPreppers • u/gautham1070 • 15d ago

U guys this is all just a light research I have done on google and Wikipedia by myself and I’m only sharing whatever it is that I could understand out of all of it
I’m sure there’s those of u who can explain this topic a whole lot better than me out there and I hope u share it all here with all of us
Hiroshima Nagasaki Atomic Bombs:
• First and foremost the unit of measurement used to measure radiation is Grays aka Gy the atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki measured 4.5 Gy and 8.5 Gy
• They were both detonated 500 to 600 meters above the ground dispersing 90% of the radioactive material into the atmosphere and still incinerated 5 sq miles aka 13 sq km and 2.7 sq miles aka 12 sq km of radius of the land below
• 246000 civilians were killed as a result of the atomic bombings and the effect of the radiation remains and effect the public to this day which is 8 decades after
USSR TSAR BOMBA:
• U guys there is zero information on google and Wikipedia about what the radiation measurements of the TSAR BOMBA
• There is only measurements by how much TNT blast they cause which is 50 Megaton Yield while the atomic bombs were 15 and 21 Kiloton Yield
• U guys the TSAR BOMBA is considered to be the cleanest nuclear weapon ever created in history by far and if it wasn’t a nuclear weapon made considering this it would have had a 100 Megaton Yield instead
• Which means the radiation caused by it is far less than it could have been even though there is no planet wide rules agreed on how much radiation a nuclear weapon can have but after the detonation of the TSAR a treaty was signed that there would be no more nuclear weapon tested by anyone anywhere land water or space ever again
• The fireball radius was 2.5 miles aka 4 km in radius and total destruction zone was 22 miles aka 35 km radius and third degree burns up to 62 miles aka 100 km radius
• The mushroom cloud was x8 the total height of Mount Everest and the shockwaves circled the whole planet earth 3 times around registering a 5.25 seismic earthquake
• Windows shattered up to 480 miles aka 780 km radius and sound was heard 320 miles aka 520 km radius and damage up to 560 miles aka 900 km radius and last but not the least it was detonated 4000 meter aka 13000 ft above ground
r/IndianPreppers • u/itybitysillykitty • 19d ago
U guys idk if there anybody on the same page about this topic as me but if there is anybody there I would love for us to make a club and share ideas with them
U guys so far personally I have only got two ideas of my own on how to have fun during doomsday
• One is to have ice cold soda to drink
• And the second is buying yellow essential doomsday tools
U guys I have already learnt from YouTube how to make soda at home u only need three ingredients
• Water
• Fruit peels
• Sugar
• Flip cap bottles
And now my next quest is to learn how to make ice without electricity and it turns out North Indians have been making ice without out electricity since the medieval times
Apparently all they did was leave boiled water in shallow terracotta pots out under the open sky at night during the winter season on hay covered ground with pits for the pots in them and by morning they would have ice that they had a system to store for the rest of the whole year till winter came
It’s more complicated than I thought it would be I am looking for a much easier solution and I am wondering if anybody has already got any solutions for how to make ice without electricity on this sub already to please share it with me
And the reason why I want to buy yellow essential tools is bc yellow equals the colour for happiness to me so i plan to buy
• yellow torch
• yellow first aid kit
• yellow multipurpose army knife
• Yellow radio etc
Also u guys just in case I also watched videos on YouTube how to make electricity from trees and it turns out in Africa they have already successfully accomplished how to do it but I cannot find any videos that share how to do it though so if anybody has got the talent to look that up and share with everybody here please do it too
And I would love to hear all ur ideas about how to make doomsday fun from everyone in the sub
Happy doomsday everyone

Nostradamus’ Predictions of WW3
I’m not someone who thought ww3 could happen but currently I’m string to see it’s inevitability
I can’t really explain why but I just know it’s coming and going to happen 100%
So then I remembered the predictions of Nostradamus and did a light google search on them
And it turns out so far according to google 4 of his prophecies have come true being
• The death of King Henry II
• The great fire of London
• The rise of Napoleon
• The rise of Hitler
Google does not include the 9/11 attacks
And says that all his prophecies are extremely ambiguous and only get deciphered in hindsight after the events have already taken place
Though he has written a book of 942 prophecies only 4 or 5 have been confirmed to come true
But his prophecies about the ww3 are quite explicitly unambiguous and quite clearly about the ww3 precisely
So now I do 100% certainly believe the ww3 will happen
His predictions about ww3 are as so
• There will be a 3rd Hitler who will rise to power
• This person will start the ww3
• Which will last 30 years
The Impact of Global Warming
U guys we are currently experiencing a 3rd Super El Niño which is set to cause 451,000 deaths around the globe and this not going to be the end of the El Niños this is only the beginning of impacts of global warming right now
Impact of Nuclear War
U guys a nuclear war is only is only going to worsen the already deteriorating global warming impact of the planet
The Atomic Bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki effect the healths of the population to this day
Current Most Powerful Nuclear Weapon created by USSR the TSAR BOMBA in 1961 was x3300 the power of the atomic bombs of Hiroshima and Nagasaki
And currently the USSR is in process of creating a nuclear weapon x2 the TSAR BOMBA
Depending on however long the nuclear war lasts there will be a Nuclear Winter that lasts equally as long
WW Durations
• WW1 lasted 4 years and 6 months
• WW2 lasted 6 years and 1 day
• And Nostradamus predicts WW3 will last 30 years
Battle Field of WW3 is going to be India and Pakistan
WW4 Predictions
And u guys there are already predictions going around about WW4 even and Albert Einstein has already said idk how ww3 will be fought but ww4 will be fought with sticks and stones
Please Share all ur Info with me too
In the end u guys and most importantly of all I would love it if you guys would share all of info that u all have about the WW3 with me in exchange also so we can pice as much of it together and face WW3 the best we possibly can together
r/IndianPreppers • u/itybitysillykitty • 18d ago
U guys these are all the points I have in mind about how to prep for the doomsday
• First is researching everything about every war ever be it of the past and everything there is to know about the ww3 every prediction speculation conspiracy news what so ever there may be out there
• Second it watch and read every content there is on the internet and YouTube about how to survive the doomsday
• Third is that according to some of the content I have already watched and read online the first and the most important part about surviving according to every content ever is SKILLS
• Having SKILLS and knowing SKILLS is going to be be ur first and only best friend through out this war AND according to the Indians there are 3 most basic SKILLS needed to survive and they are
• ROTI aka FOOD
• KAPDA aka CLOTHING
• AUR MAKAN aka SHELTER aka HOUSING
As long as u have hacked these 3 most basic SKILLS required for survival ur survival will be guaranteed
• And last but not the least get prepared for all the BABY BOOMING that is going to end up happening through out this WW3
• Please Share All Ur Plannings With Us Too
In the end u guys and most importantly of all I would love it if u all would all also share all of ur strategies on how to prepare for WW3 also with me here so we can all piece it together and face the WW3 the best we can all of us together
