The Get Home Bag for the Girlfriend and Her Impending Education

Hygiene In the Field, or Bug Out Hygiene

September 6, 2012

I’ve done a lot of camping this summer, and with the drought, you can imagine it was pretty hot out there. I can attest that it was. At our camp site we cut a lot of wood, and we used much of it for the camp fire. Those were hot days swinging an axe, and [...]

The Modular Survival Kit, Cache Valley Prepper

August 1, 2012

The Modular Survival Kit is a fairly simple concept. And one that I know that the military is familiar with, but not one that I’ve heard get much attention in the prepping community. Once I had built up my kit, as any aspiring survivalist would do, I did a few practice bug-outs in the form [...]

January 18, 2012

A question on one of the boards I am on popped up, and I responded, which I rarely do these days. I’ve been kind of burned out of writing and been focusing on building more preps, losing some of my flab and getting into better shape, etc…. However, I thought this was in interesting question. [...]
