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.

My Business Travel Carry On — Altoid Kit Contents
One of my buddy’s asked what I bring with me when I travel on business. I made a small video for him from my iPhone, but I thought I would publish contents of the Altoid kit that gets on the plane with me every time I fly. It is TSA friendly, but lacks a blade of…
