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.

Review of the Peak 1,200W Mobile Power Outlet/Inverter for My Bug Out Vehicle
I recently purchased a Bug Out Vehicle. Admittedly it is a 1990 Jeep YJ/Wrangler. It was clearly the base model. However, it has a lift kit, bigger tires, and a few amenities you might want in a bug out vehicle. But one thing it lacked was the proverbial cigarette…
