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…
EDC Bag Reconfiguration
When I first began prepping, I put a tactical messenger bag on my Amazon Christmas list so that I could carry “stuff” around to be a “survivalist” if the “SHTF”. I am putting those words in quotation, because I had no idea at the time what stuff I needed to face a…

What Boy Scouts (Sorry Ladies) is to Preparedness.

The Price of Money To Come
I’m not sure if that is a good title, but I am using it anyway… Several months ago, I priced silver, on a per ounce basis. It was $31.00 and change. I thought, Hmmm. I should buy some silver. I disregarded… I few weeks later I looked at the price of silver…
