Blog Down and Explaination
I received several emails over the past day asking why the blog was down… Well, it seems the Suburban Survival Blog was under what is called a Denial of Service attack or something not unlike that, slowing the server down dramatically. Unfortunately, we are not able to control these attacks just defend against them and […]
The High Level Plan to Preparedness
Well, after last evening’s interview with Doctor Prepper, I thought I would write up a few thoughts on planning for your preparedness goals. This will probably appeal to novice preppers, but it got me thinking about a few points of discussion around how to get the ball rolling and keep your head on straight at the same […]
Prepper Jim’s Pocket EDC
“You know you are a prepper if it takes five minutes to load your pockets each time you leave the house.” The subject of gear seems to be of great interest to the prepper community so I will address my gear-related items from time-to-time. I have come to think that gear cannot solve all problems, […]
Tune into Doctor Prepper Radio Monday, April 4th
Well, looks like I will be on Doctor Prepper Radio again Monday evening, April 4th. Tune in and listen to Doctor Prepper and I talk about suburban and urban prepping. There’s not going to be an agenda or format, I think, but more just bantering about our thoughts back and forth for an hour about […]
Thinking About Medicine and First Aid During a SHTF Event
Recently I have been giving some thought to First Aid and Medicine in the wake of the three very bad earthquakes our planet has recently seen in the past 14 or 15 months. I have been thinking about my first aid kit, is it adequate, what I know and do not know about first aid, trauma, field […]

What I Did First, by PrepperJim
I am going to preface PrepperJim’s post today with a brief statement, and say that I really personally enjoyed this post, as it let me know that I was not alone in making my own mistakes. Making mistakes is how many of us learn, especially when we have no one else to bounce our […]
I Just Took Over The NJ Preparedness Meetup Group
While it may not make a difference to many of you, our meeting group was in danger of dying a quick death. It also looks like I am getting rather ambitious, and it may not be for the best. I can barely find time to write this blog anymore, and thank goodness for the few […]

A Couple of Interesting Conversations on Food Prices on Sunday
Sunday was an interesting day for me. I spoke to a friend of mine that lives about 20 minutes outside of Allentown, PA. He went to the grocery store as he always does on Sunday mornings. He is a man of routine. He picked up hes hand basket and proceeded to fill it with the items that […]
