Many preppers don’t think to reuse wood pallets. That’s a shame, considering how ridiculously cheap they are (they’re often FREE when you go to Goodwill, garage sales, Craigslist, shipping companies, friends’/family’s houses etc).

Plus, they’re insanely useful. Each pallet contains an assortment of wood you can use for a variety of projects. And, if you can get a few at once, you have the materials for a serious project.

Unfortunately, many times wood pallets get thrown to the wayside, never to be thought of again. And so, since prepping is all about using every resource to your advantage, you get to learn…
