Prepping For Your Car
Let’s see… We buy food. We buy gear. We buy guns. We buy ammunition. We grow gardens. We can food. We talk about Bug Out Locations. We talk about Bugging In. We talk about a lot of things, but as I was driving home from work this evening, I had a couple of thoughts. The […]
Different Story, Different Result
I noted previously that a lady survived 49 days in the wilderness of Nevada. Today, I read a story of a man who was trapped in Oregon and died after approximately 60 days. McDonald, 68, liked to camp. While he didn’t have a lot of food, he had gallon jugs of water, a jack for […]

Replace Your Batteries
I started this last night, but was so tired, I just couldn’t finish it… Batteries: This is a simple one, right? Everyone thinks so. Heck, I think so. I sort of pride myself on keeping on top of things even if I let them slip. Well, I let them slip. It was my first weekend […]
Survival 49 Days
On Monday, I read this incredible story of a woman surviving in the Nevada wilderness: For 49 days, Rita Chretien waited for a miracle. Her husband had ventured off to get help three days after their minivan got stranded off-road in the cold, untamed Nevada wilderness. That left Rita alone without much beyond some hard […]
EDC Bag Reconfiguration
When I first began prepping, I put a tactical messenger bag on my Amazon Christmas list so that I could carry “stuff” around to be a “survivalist” if the “SHTF”. I am putting those words in quotation, because I had no idea at the time what stuff I needed to face a crisis situation. With […]
Reality check – Part 1: Farming/Growing Your Own Food
Every survival/prepping website and book has some section on growing your own food during a SHTF event. There are ads for seed companies showing a person pushing a shopping cart down isles of empty supermarket shelves and the caption reads something like “How are you going to feed your family?”. And even one of the […]
All Prepping, All the Time
“All Prepping and No Play, Makes Jim a Dull Boy” One downside to being a prepper is there is always something that needs doing to prepare for possible emergencies. People in your life may not share the same sense of urgency, to the point of being annoyed at your prepping behavior. Not only that, looking […]
Bartertown, U.S.A.
Barter – To trade by exchange of commodities rather than by the use of money. (Source: Dictionary.com. Source location: Random House, inc.) Much has been written about the use of barter in a post SHTF/TEOTWAWKI. event. Even in “merely” a post-financial collapse/SHTF event barter is presumed to be the norm for conducting common transactions, especially […]
