Resources and Commentary on Prepping in Suburbia

My Guerrilla Berkey Water Filter Project in 20 Minutes or Less
As far as I am concerned, this project has been well overdue. Especially in the wakes of both hurricanes Irene and Sandy. With hurricane season just barely upon us, and the loss of power, etc. last year, I thought it was time to prepare a bit for what might be to…
