A Prepper's Papers

     A Prepper has papers just like anyone else.  The main difference between a prepper's papers and someone else's is a prepper has given it some thought and taken steps to reduce waste and bulk and to protect and preserve their papers.

     The papers everyone needs start with the papers of proof of ownership, i.e. mortgage papers, auto titles, vehicle registrations,and  land lease contracts.  Also in this list should be the obvious things like licenses, even the driver's license.  Well, sure, you say but I have my license on me at all times.  I know it is illegal to have a second driver's license but it is not illegal to save the receipt with the license number on it that becomes proof of purchase.  Please include tax receipts that show your property taxes paid in full and receipts for vehicle tags. 

      The will, the living will and the document designating the surrogate who speaks for you when you cannot is on the list of prepper papers you should be able to get your hands on with one swivel of a desk chair.
