Well, as many of you know, about a week ago or so my “Get Home Bag” from my truck was stolen from the parking lot where I had been parking my car for two plus years.  In hind sight, I think it was my fault for assuming that there was ample security....

So, it’s been several weeks since I wrote a post about my friend who lost everything and is basically starting over from the negative.  Today while at a conference in NYC, I had the opportunity to jump in a cab and go visit him.  Three weeks...

As many of the readers know, I have joined a meetup.com group for preparedness.  I joined for a couple of reasons.  First, as a “lone wolf” I was looking to connect with like minded people to hopefully teach and learn from them.  The second...

Today I want to take the time to talk a little about something I have not.  The title says it all, I think, with the exception of defining what a “Personal SHTF” is because, well, it’s personal.  In today’s economy, I think that most people might...

This weekend I admitted to my parents, who frankly, would think I was a bit of a wacko if I fully admitted I was a prepper.  I admitted to them that I had about three months worth of food in my apartment for any hard times ahead.  They both,...
