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…
A Prepper Ammunition Discussion
The other night at dinner we got talking about ammunition caches… We discussed at a high leve what we thought everyone should have (personally speaking, of course). One of the guys brought up JWR’s guide to ammo storage. As you may or may not know, I think JWR, is…
It’s All About the Jobs

Budget Faraday Cage for Small Electronics
I took on a small project this evening, and it was dead simple… I have been thinking about building a faraday cage for my small electronics, or the small electronics I am going to want in the event of an EMP. I was at the Army Surplus store in Hackansack, NJ the…

I wish to apologize to all the readers who came to our site and there was a service interruption today. Rackspace, our host, has moved us to another server, and service was restored… We are sincerely sorry for any inconvenience.
Project Update
I lamented two personal prepper issues here and here. A week after the solar oven fail, I successfully made the Arroz Con Pollo in about five hours in the sun. My lot’s shady profile presented a challenge, but I made it work. The only issue was I had to put it in the…
