A Safe Room For Your Home

October 26, 2010

I am not really sure this is going to apply to those of us who live in apartments. However, I may touch on that in this post. Much of what we discuss, or I write, rather, revolves around bugging out. As mentioned in a previous post, I was going to consider situations in the suburbs [...]

The Best, Longest, Stressful Week I Have Had In A Long Time

October 22, 2010

This is going to have nothing to do with survivalism, suburban survival, or urban survival, unless you are talking about money, and we might. I am in sales, started a new job about 16 months ago, and my income basically relies on much of what I sell. To say the company I work for is [...]

Do You Have Bug In Plans For The Workplace?

October 21, 2010

Have any of you thought about having to bug in at your workplace. Most of the time I think about bugging out with my Get Home Bag and don’t really think too much about what might happen if I have to stay in an office for a few days, or longer. A few days ago, [...]

You can lease, finance, or purchase them, get [...]

Build Process Into Your Preparedness

October 19, 2010

So, yesterday, on The Survival Mom’s blog, she had a post on “What SurvivalMom Can Learn from Starbucks” about survival or prepping. I read it with interest, because I try to think outside the box when it comes to my prepping and other areas in my life. It helps me to justify what I am doing as [...]
