Review of “Urban Survival Guide: Learn The Secrets Of Urban Survival To Keep You Alive After Man-Made Disasters, Natural Disasters, and Breakdowns In Civil Order”
There aren’t too many books I buy where you get the opportunity to sit down to read them, and they are exactly what I was looking for. However, in David Morris’s book “Urban Survival Guide: Learn The Secrets Of Urban Survival To Keep You Alive After Man-Made Disasters, Natural Disasters, and Breakdowns In Civil Order,” that is […]
Grab Paper
A post by a guest author who would like to remain anonymous Articles and videos abound that discuss grab bags (aka “bug out bags”) for a SHTF event. Each varies somewhat for content but in general they all mention taking supplies of food, water, communications, clothes, medical, lighting, heating, defenses, etc. All good things to […]
I’m still here, really…
Hey everyone. I felt compelled to write a quick note, since several readers have emailed me this week asking if I either quit writing the blog or asking if everything was okay. I didn’t realize I had such loyal readers. Thank you. A couple things are up with me this past week, just to let […]

Understanding Everyone In the City Will Be a Refugee Post SHTF
Not often spoken of, I think in the survivalist or prepper circle, is how to avoid becoming a refugee post SHTF. We talk a lot about prepping, we talk a lot about bugging out or bugging in, but we never really talk about the situation where we do find ourselves shut off from our gear […]
