Prepper Envy
As a each of us go through our preparations for the SHTF or TEOTWAWKI, you may come across people who have achieved a level of preparedness most of only dream of. That is, they have a fully stocked bomb shelter in a rural location with 20 years of food, water, fuel, gear, guns, ammo and […]
Extensive Traveling and Bug Out Location Hunting
Hey everyone, just an FYI, as I write this from a hotel room in way upstate NY state this evening. I am going to be traveling extensively over the next three weeks for personal reasons over the and for work, and I may not have the time to write as much as I would like […]
Learn To Read A Map!!
This is as much an article as a rant. I can’t believe how many people cannot follow simple travel directions or read a basic road map! I’m not talking about a topography or geo survey map. Not even a marine chart. Just a basic road map. Nor am I referring to cryptic instructions or vague […]
The Bug Out Trailer or The Camping Trailer
Recently, I read a post over at Scott William’s, Bug-Out Survival blog called 4×4 Tent Trailers for Hauling Your Stuff Off Road. Without going into great detail, I have looked at these before with great interest, primarily because I drive an SUV. There are a couple different manufacturers of “survival trailers.” that would allow you to use them […]

The Food I Buy Is Changing, a Lot.
It is evident. My last few trips to the grocery store have yielded what I believe what others have been talking about now for some time. But to me it is visually noticeable. I know this because I am a creature of habit. Being a single guy, I generally purchase the same things over and […]
It’s the Small Stuff
When thrust into a survival situation, it is often the small things that make the difference between success (survival) and failure (death). Often, having a sense of comfort makes all the difference in your mental attitude. With so many prepper words devoted to guns, knives and bags, I started to think of some small things […]
Would YOU be a shelter? (Remembering Anne Frank)
veryone loves a scapegoat. Throughout history whenever something terrible happens either for reasons too complex for the common person to grasp or just the culmination of many other events people as a whole try to seek out someone, some group of people, to blame for the problem. Rarely do they see themselves as a cause […]
Weekend Camping Trip, and a Few New Pieces of Gear
This weekend was my first real weekend camping trip of the season. It’s primarily my go-to place for camping in the summer. It also may/could function as a secondary Bug Out location. But more on that another time, and to my point, there was a LOT of work to do when we got there. The […]
