Take the trash out of the bomb shelters and stock them up with supplies. Sweden has shelters for it's entire population.
Gun laws have been loosened up, you can now hunt with an AR-15 or AK-47 which was illegal before. Always good to have many civilian gun owners in the rural areas.
A shitload of money is being invested into upgrading rail and road networks, most of which are already in good shape, but it's an indicator that a war is not expected just yet, perhaps in 2030 or something.
The army may be a joke, it's the civilian defense that gets the job done in case of invasion. 3M people with superior technology spread across the forests and the mountains. If Taliban's in sandals with AK-47 can beat the US army, Sweden's civilian defense should have no problem dealing with Russia.
That said, there's no way Russia will try to invade. Nothing to win, and even outside of NATO, the Swedish navy could shoot down Russian ships and planes before they even cross the Baltic sea. Same goes the other way around obviously, Sweden would have no chance trying to invade Russia, it would be Napoleon allover again.
How exactly do you "prepare for war"?
