Preppers are preparing to survive in a world where modern conveniences are obsolete. After the SHTF, we won’t be able to run to the corner market to pick up milk, bread, and other staples. This is why we store so much food. However, have you thought about how you will replace all the other things we use on a daily basis–containers, cookware, clothing, and other items?

It’s important to have a “repurposing” mindset. Many of the things you have and use today can be used again. Before you throw things away, you need to think twice about it. For all you know, your trash today could very well be your treasure tomorrow.

Here are some examples of things you should stop throwing away and start setting aside for the future. Remember, during long-term disasters almost everything has a use.

1. Dryer Lint – Believe it or not, this is a precious commodity that you should be stashing away. Dryer lint makes fantastic tinder. Every time you do laundry, add it to a Ziploc bag to keep it dry. It can also it be used in combination with melted wax egg cartons to make some handy fire starters, which brings me to the next item…

2. Egg Cartons – These are more versatile than you may have thought. Obviously you can use them to store the eggs you collect from your chickens, but you can also use them to start seeds for your garden and to make fire starters (see the link above).

3. Coffee Cans – These are so versatile! You can use them to hold water, dried food, nuts and bolts, as a pot for growing plants, and much more. Here’s a list of 31 uses for coffee cans. If you’re not interested in those uses, you can always make a coffee can survival kit.

4. Old Crayons and Candles – Broken crayons and the ends of candles should always be saved. They can be melted down and poured into an old jelly jar or mayo jar and made into a new candle. They don’t have to be pretty. You just need a jar of wax that will burn.

5. Baby Food Jars – Use these to store small things like screws, nails, nuts, bolts, etc. You can also use one to make a survival candle.
