A Review of “Dirt-Cheap Survival Retreat, One Man’s Solution” by M.D. Creekmore
So, I finally had time to sit down and read M.D. Creekmore’s book, “Dirt-Cheap Survival Retreat, One Man’s Solution.” I’ve actually had the book for sometime, but have been so busy just have not had the time to read it. The book itself is short, and not full of fluff once you start digging into it. […]
Famine
Famine – a severe shortage of food, as through crop failure or overpopulation. (“famine.” Collins English Dictionary – Complete & Unabridged 10th Edition. HarperCollins Publishers.) More than merely a shortage or higher prices, “famine” is the extreme low end of scale. It is a systemic problem, not merely a matter of poor distribution or lack […]

Whey Protein As An Essential Prep?
While on and off my fitness kick this year, I have supplemented my daily diet with a morning protein shake mixed with fat free milk, water, ice, and various fruits that would mix with protein powders well. I have been on the quest for the perfect protein powder with no real success, although Muscle Milk, […]
CERT Training Completed
I recently completed my Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) training. First some background and then an evaluation from a prepper perspective. CERT’s were formed in the wake of the September 11th attacks via executive order. The training agenda was adapted from material developed by the Los Angeles Fire Department in 1985. The Emergency Management Institute […]
Higher Standards
Survivalists/preppers have never been portrayed well in the modern media and entertainment fields. At best, they are portrayed in as a comical cliché like in the 1983 movie “The Survivors” (Walter Matthau, Robin Williams, Jerry Reed – very funny actually!). But most often, preppers are portrayed as camo-wearing gun-toting pickup-truck-driving back country no-education nut cases […]
HBO’s “Citizen U.S.A.: A 50 State Road Trip”
As I write this, it is getting later in the evening on July 4th. I purposefully stayed in this evening to watch a special on HBO called “Citizen U.S.A.: A 50 State Road Trip,” on HBO. It is a special where the producers drove through all 50 states asking asking legal immigrants why that came to the United […]
