The Focus of Suburban Survival Blog and, if the SHTF
I am writing this post, because, it is probably something I should have written several months ago when I started writing a daily blog on my thoughts about suburban survival. I really started getting concerned about what was going on in the world when I saw little progress in Afghanistan and Iraq. I am just as […]
Going to Smoke a Turkey…
Well, I picked up a 12 pound turkey today. Looked up a brining recipe online, thawed it in water for about six or so hours, and now have it brining in the refrigerator for the next 48 hours. This is going to be an interesting experiment, as I need to get my smoker up above […]
Food Prices at Walmart Are Out of Control
Well, I have to rant for a moment. I walked into a Walmart the other day, and honestly, I don’t like doing that. I went through the food section, thinking I would pick up a few items, and I was appalled. What happened to the prices there? They went through the roof. The yellow smiley face […]
Eating Healthier for a Better Life
I just read a blog post on Doctor Prepper this morning ab0ut healthier eating. I try to eat healthy, but if you saw me eat on a business trip, you might think I was addicted to steaks or a junk food junkie. Sad but true. I can say that I probably gain a couple of […]

Top 100 Items to Disappear First in a SHTF
Well, this is an old list I just came across, and thought I would post it. I don’t agree with the order in which the list was created, but I am not sure that it was created in any special order either. Not to mention, I have no clue who created this list, just that […]
1911 Boyscout Handbook
On Scribd.com last week, I found something I had been searching for a bit. It is the 1911 copy of the Boy Scout Handbook. Bart of Project Gutenberg, it is free for download, so I thought I would share.
A Little More Food Storage – Stocking Up On Wheat Products
Well, I had every intention of picking up a bit more for my food storage, mainly flour in both whole wheat and white. Picked up a five pound bag of brown rice, canned chicken, two bags of dried chick peas, a bag of dried peas, and a few more items. Well, I forgot the flour. […]
