Taken from a survival forum and copied to a word document late last year for my own review going forward:
Now some people live in apartments like myself, I figured we needed a thread for suggestions for folks like myself. I’m pretty creative and have some ideas that I will be enacting soon if not right away to make myself more self sufficient in my apartment. Read the rest of this entry »

We all look at lists online of the basics to prep. We all prep what we and our families will eat and consume. But what about those things that we might forget about? The ancillary items we pick up occasionally at the convenient store or the pharmacy? I am compiling a list of those things that I use, but take for granted, and would be wondering how I would do without them after a bug out or bug in with no access to them in the outside world.
Here we go: Read the rest of this entry »

I just purchased myself a Kel-Tec PF-9. I’m replacing a Bersa Thunder .380 as a C.C. weapon, and I have been salivating over this gun since I saw the below review by Nutnfancy on YouTube. Nutnfancy has a great review process that will walk you through the advantages and disadvantages of just about any weapon you are looking to procure. Highly recommend his YouTube Channel.
This was a hard gun to find. Read the rest of this entry »

Well, the end of August is coming, and the weather is starting to change a bit; evenings are getting cooler, and days are starting to get a bit shorter. This to me is a clear sign of a few things. One, some of my Bug Out Bag contents need to be rotated out soon with winter preps, such as additional base layers, gloves, hats, etc. That’s the simple stuff. But, what if it is mid winter (as I live in the northeast) and there is an ice storm (thanks for the visual Doug), a snow storm, etc. that knocks out power and gas for a few days and the temperature is going to be close to or below zero. Maybe the State of NJ has declared a state of emergency and due to their budget being busted, they cannot get plow trucks on the road for a few days. This is a possible reality that I live with every winter as being a viable SHTF situation for me. Read the rest of this entry »

Hurricane Earl
Well, while I am semi watching a little TV this evening, I figured I would bring up a topic that I seldom discuss. Natural disasters. In the past couple years, natural disasters have been front and center to everyone, partially due to how swiftly the media can get data on situations and report on it. I think as a group we like to fantasize about man made scenarios, however, sometimes an all to real threat is the threat of natural disaster due to weather, earthquake, volcano eruption, tsunami, swarm of locusts, killer birds, or some other disaster that I may not be aware of.
I talk a lot about Bugging Out, but what if that is not an option. What if a Hurricane comes up the east coast and my place gets destroyed, my car gets crushed by a telephone pole, and we are Read the rest of this entry »

Many of you have no doubt seen this video in the past. It is the one hour documentary that Les Stroud recorded about buying a piece of property and living off the grid potentially simplifying life. That, however is not the reason I am posting this video. My friend Doug actually gave me the idea that this video actually represents a good primer for those suburban and urban survivalists looking to build redundancies into their existing home, as well as look at this property and documentary as a bug out location.

A couple weekends ago I tested a bug out route (via vehicle) to a point that intersects with a spot where I can branch off into two or three other routes to get to my BOL. We’ll call this intersection point “Point B.” I wanted to test the following:
- Viability of the route
- Normal traffic patterns to asses traffic buildup in a SHTF
- Timings without traffic to asses timings in a SHTF Bug Out situation
- Take note of other resources along the way. i.e. Storage Facilities, mini marts, food stores, etc…
