Going to Buy Some #10 Cans of Food for Storage and Use.

I have been researching food for storage.  However, I have been researching food for storage that I will actually use, because I do not want to waste any money on buying food that will just sit in the can or container and get no use at all.  It just seems like a waste of money […]

What is a Safe Distance for Your Bug Out Location?

Ken over at ModernSurvivalBlog.com and I have traded a couple of emails lately…  I think his posts are well thought out and well researched.  Today he had a post that I thought was perfect for you urban and suburban dwellers like myself.  The post is on what the safe distance might be for you to […]

The iPad as a Modern Survival Device

Huh?  The iPad as a Modern Survival Device?  Really?  Yup.  Let me explain a little.  First, I’m in the Internet business.  Not going to get into a lot of that now, but I want to give you some perspective on why I say that.  Second, I am a gadget guy.  I suppose that is typical. […]

SuburbanSurvivalBlog.com Now on Amazon Kindle Store

Okay, I thought this was pretty cool… The staging.suburbansurvivalblog.com/ is now in the Amazon Kindle Store.  Click the link to get it… The downside is that Amazon charges a minimum of 1.99 per month for it… So, while I would love it if you download it to your Kindle, get it by RSS Feed for […]

What You (and I) Need To Know About Knives

There are many types of knives out there.  I have many.  Probably too many knives, but each one has a purpose, so when I go camping or hiking I choose the right one to go with.  I usually carry one or two knives pretty consistently.  In my travel EDC I carry a Mora.  If I have […]

Goals for the Weekend.

This is more a personal post than anything else… I have had a long week.  Traveled on business, and along with traveling for business came business dinners, entertaining, etc.  I am really tired, and could have slept until Saturday morning from last evening; or at least that is how it feels.  I could go to […]

Reviews of the Chinese Norinco SKS

I actually have two of these.  One completely stock and the other has an AR stock on it which I am going to change out with a few 20 round magazines.  Both I bought off of GunsAmerica.com.   7.62 x 39 is a great round.  Good for hunting large game, and well, target shooting, etc.  I can […]

Here is a quick read. Urban financial elite owning and using their Bug Out Locations

Check this out from SHTF.  Thought it should be posted for all: http://www.shtfplan.com/emergency-preparedness/prominent-hedge-fund-managers-idaho-ranch-it-would-be-a-place-you-could-hole-up-in_07222010 Here is the flaw I see with the NYC financial elite building out BOLs anywhere.  These people have no clue how to be self sufficient.  While they have the financial resources today to “buy” their food for storage, their gear, etc., can […]

My Run Down the Street, and Getting Fit as a Preparedness Goal.

This is really just a quick blurb.  Recently, I have been back at the gym.  It has been an interesting ride, getting back to the gym after 10 years of letting my health go.  I am by no means obese, but my lung capacity and strength were minimal compared to years ago spending five and […]
