And Then There Was a Dinner Meeting

October 31, 2011

Last week, I had dinner with three other preppers. One was new, and the two others I have been in touch with for some time. We all live in Northern NJ, and are concerned with the economy, job growth, Bugging In, Bugging Out, etc. The conversation twisted and turned in many directions. We talked about [...]

September 28, 2011

This weekend I had an “epic fail” (as the kids say) with my new solar cooker. I tried to make a simple dish, Arroz con Pollo (chicken with rice), but did not get past 100F. Why? The sun! As it turns out, Saturday morning and afternoon was the time mother nature chose to break its [...]

The Advantage of the Suburban Farmers Market

November 12, 2010

You might not think there is one. At first glance you might say, the vegetables are not organic, they have less flavor because they are factory farm grown, they have steroids, etc. But there is one advantage of the suburban farmers market. They get fresh shipments of vegetables every day for purchase at a discounted price. This [...]

Pigeon? For Dinner?

October 7, 2010

Okay, I was in the car for about four hours today… I had some time to think… My mind started to wander, and the gears were spinning. I asked myself, if the S#!t has hit the fan while I was in Philadelphia, and I knew no one. If food supplies are low and I was [...]

Lessons in Preserving Meats and Poultry

September 13, 2010

This past labor day weekend, a buddy and I went camping. Not like real camping, however, in the woods with no facilities, and no one around for miles, but to a piece of property his family owns that he will likely use as a Bug Out Location. It has a 5th Wheel on it, as [...]
