Euro Fails, Europe Fails

I read this news story and don’t know what to think. Here is the money quote. “Nobody should take for granted another 50 years of peace and prosperity in Europe. They are not for granted. That’s why I say: If the euro fails, Europe fails,” Merkel said, followed by a long applause from all political […]

Budget Faraday Cage for Small Electronics

I took on a small project this evening, and it was dead simple…  I have been thinking about building a faraday cage for my small electronics, or the small electronics I am going to want in the event of an EMP.  I was at the Army Surplus store in Hackansack, NJ the other day, and […]

Project Update

I lamented two personal prepper issues here and here. A week after the solar oven fail, I successfully made the Arroz Con Pollo in about five hours in the sun. My lot’s shady profile presented a challenge, but I made it work. The only issue was I had to put it in the oven for […]

It was because you could not can or […]

The Time Is Now, and It’s Not Too Late

I’m sitting in another damn airport.  Not bitching, however, just another damn airport.  I have to rant a bit.  The time is now.  The time is now if you are not a prepper to prep.  The conversations I have had with friends who are in the real world (Middle America) verifies that now is the […]

And So It Goes, More Economic Crap

Confirmation has come to me that the economy, real estate, and things in our country just really suck.  I had dinner with another friend last night who lost her house this year due to state of the economy and the way her mortgage was structured.  Side note; it seems I have friends scattered in cities […]
