Urban and Suburban Survival – Handling Dead Bodies in a SHTF
Well, this is a topic that many don’t even want to discuss… However, if there is a major breakdown in society or a huge major disaster, man made or not, could be a reality in an urban or suburban situation. Handling dead bodies is something that I have thought about but have not put much […]
DIY – Old Fashioned Torch for Light
Please note that they are relatively unstable and should not be used for anything other than emergency or novelty purposes. I.E. I do not suggest using these to be part of some sort of dungeon themed room since they would probably light your house on fire. **Be careful, I do not want some law suit […]
The Police Are Not Responding to 44 Different Crimes.
This is just crazy. Protect and Serve. That is the police motto, almost all over the world. Admittedly, much of my family is in law enforcement; federal, state, and local. I have friends that are federal, state, and local law enforcement as well. I have the utmost respect for them. However, when a city announces […]
Worth Watching – Docudrama on Pandemics
This is a docudrama I came across that I believe could be a realistic situation and could create a bug in situation for families to try to keep from contracting a disease.
Independence Day Weekend at the Camp Site
Well, last weekend was a good one. Not only because I celebrated Independence Day, it was also my Mother’s birthday (she turned 65), but I was able to get out and do a little camping too. It was a hot and long one as well… It was more of a maintenance weekend than a full […]
The SuburbanPrepper Talks EMP
I think about this from time to time. An EMP attack that would render my car and just about anything electronic useless. 100+ miles from my Bug Out Location, and final rendezvous point, it would take me five to 10 days to hoof it on foot to my destination. With a bike, maybe faster, but my EDC […]
DIY – Make a Simple Cardboard Box Solar Oven
The sun is arguably one of the humanity’s most important tool for survival. It gives off practically unlimited amounts of light that is used by plants to generate energy and animals for heat. It can be used to generate electricity with solar panels, hot water with solar hot water heaters, and many other uses. Even though […]
An interesting take on the Bug Out Location
Here is an interesting post on the Bug Out Location, and no matter where you are, what you might run into with the government whether local, state, or federal: http://www.thesurvivalistblog.net/2010/07/survival-retreat.html
Prepping And The Cost Of Spending.
Prepping can be expensive. People like to bite off more than they can chew. I did it. I felt I needed everything “now.” Food, gear, etc. When I finally settled into becoming a prepper I slowed down, took inventory of what I had, and realized where the holes are. There are still holes. I still […]
The Mora, by Survival Common Sense.
I bought a Frosts Mora Knife several months ago, and have carried it in my day pack since as part of my EDC and my Travel Carry. I carry it when I go camping (among other blades), hiking, etc. Survival Common Sense had a good review of the Mora. He put it through the paces, […]
