Rice and Beans? Beans and Rice?
Rice and beans – unquestionably the top two items most often cited as “must-haves” in any preppers pantry. Even for non-preppers, when discussion of having a few extra food supplies on hand comes up (and this comes up a lot more these days in a great many venues) almost immediately someone says something like “I […]
Thinking About Buying Rural Land for Your Bug Out Location
Land in a rural area for a Bug Out Location is romantic thought for me, and recently I have been looking at prices within a couple hour drive of where I live in an area that is the polar opposite of where I live. I make some notes about a year ago around the prices […]

Survival at Sea, 51 Days
Another survival story, attributed mostly to luck. A crewman on a commercial tuna-fishing boat was the first to spot it: something shiny and metallic in the water off the ship’s bow. The crewman alerted the navigator, and the 280-foot San Nikunau slightly altered course to avoid a collision. As the ship came closer, the object […]
Man’s Best Friend? Or Worst Enemy?
An odd occurrence happened to me this winter. The short version: Late one cold evening we heard an odd sound at the front door. Our dog started barking. I didn’t see anyone at the door. No one rang the bell. So finally I carefully cracked open the door and a head started to stick its […]

Carbines and The New Prepper, Part One, Contributed by Cameron Green of GAPPNJ.COM
This is the first installment in a series of papers to educate the new prepper about what weapons they should have on hand.

In the survivalist and prepper community, this is a mantra often repeated. Like any mantra or simplified rule of thumb, it serves its purpose up to the point. While having simple rules to follow is often a good thing, the devil is in the details. For me, this simple rule is not so simple to […]
Reality check – Part 2: Hunting In A Post-SHTF World
Hunting in the forest or field for meat is a common theme in survival/prepping. Many preppers are already active sport hunters. Either as a supplement to limited commercial meat supplies or as the main or sole source of meat, the expectation to be able to hunt animals is a corner stone of many survival plans. […]
