A common topic that I here come up a lot among many preppers, particularly here in Utah, is finding a way to include your spiritual beliefs into your preps. Now the options available to a person varies greatly depending on that persons particular religion or beliefs. However, there are a few options here that are pretty available to a wide range of religions. For instance, pocket sized religious scripture(s) or spiritual journal/book of shadows, as above, are one of the most common items a person can include in their preps. This allows them to cut down on the weight of a full sized version, and makes them easier to pack in either your bugout bag or even on your person.
Another option for religions such as Christianity or Judaism is a travel ceremonial set for serving liquids, be it a sacrament of some kind or not.
As for the various pagan faiths or followers of Buddhism, there are options for either buying or making your own travel alters. These can be very light weight, and like the pocket journals/scripture(s) easily packed.
There are various websites that sell spiritual supplies for those who travel, a few searches for your particular faith and supplies for them should offer you a few option. I would even recommend looking into sites that offer supplies to military chaplains since they are forced to travel often and usually travel light. As for pocket journals, you can find these at many book stores. I found mine at my local Barnes and Noble.
Regardless of your personal beliefs or religions, I can understand to the importance that religion has in many peoples lives and hope this post gives them a few ideas to get them started. After all, throughout history when peoples are faced with disasters or SHTF scenarios they have turned to their individual faiths to fuel them to keep fighting to survive. So if religion will help you do this, then by all means include it into your preps, if not, well I guess this post doesn't really apply to you.
Stay prepared, stay safe!
