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…
Gold: A Misunderstood Metal
With the remarkable rise in the price of gold over the last 2 years (as of writing this) as well as the apparent uncertainties, even declines, in more traditional icons of American economic prowess the yellow metal has once again come to the forefront of interest by…

Prepper or Consumer Poser? That is the Question.
It’s been a rough couple of weeks with work. In fact, work has become increasingly busy. It was the end of the quarter and a race to get customer contracts closed up, signatures, etc. For those that don’t know, I work for a software company in sales. It can be very…

Solar Oven Fail
This weekend I had an “epic fail” (as the kids say) with my new solar cooker. I tried to make a simple dish, Arroz con Pollo (chicken with rice), but did not get past 100F. Why? The sun! As it turns out, Saturday morning and afternoon was the time mother nature chose…
