Resources and Commentary on Prepping in Suburbia

After a year or so of the site being down, we’re slow­ly relaunch­ing it with all the old con­tent, and writ­ing new con­tent. It’s been well over a year since I’ve done any prep­ping, and recent­ly start­ed again. Updates over the last 18 months are, Ms. Prep­per is now Mrs. Prep­per, and there’s the addi­tion of Baby Prep­per, too… I feel like it’s all new again, and I’m learn­ing from scratch…

Repacking Some Core Preps for Portability, Ease of Use, Care Packaging, and Rotation

We talk an awful lot about how to rotate your canned, jarred, and oth­er preps for fresh­ness.  We also talk a lot about stor­age, how to store, what to store, etc.  Yes­ter­day, I under­took a small job of repack­ing some of my “basic” preps.  What are some of my most basic…

Hurricane Irene, What I Missed, What I Didn’t, and What I Learned.
