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…
Promises To Keep : Your New Post-SHFT Credit Card
There is no honor among thieves. But, thankfully, most people aren’t thieves. Even in a SHTF scenario, with some exception (e.g. Katrina), most people do behave well. For the most part. Living in or near a big city it can be hard to understand that a persons’ word…

September is National Preparedness Month

I am going to try to be realistic here. There are posts all over the Web on preppers sites about starting your prepping for $5.00 a week. But what does $5.00 really buy these days. In my case $5.00 can buy: — 3 — 4 cans of soup, — 3 — 4 cans of tuna, chicken or…
Please Never Forget This Day, and Take a Moment To Remember and Reflect.
This day, is not unlike Pearl Harbor or ANY other day where American blood was shed unnecessarily or to save the life of another human being in another country around the world. I will never forget where I was, that day. No one will. It went in slow motion for me,…
Remembering 9/11
9/11 is definitely a pivotal moment from the last 20 years, especially for the western world. It was a moment when an unanticipated attack took place which claimed the lives of almost 3,000 Americans. What followed thrust our nation into two (or more) wars and…
Repacking Some Core Preps for Portability, Ease of Use, Care Packaging, and Rotation
We talk an awful lot about how to rotate your canned, jarred, and other preps for freshness. We also talk a lot about storage, how to store, what to store, etc. Yesterday, I undertook a small job of repacking some of my “basic” preps. What are some of my most basic…
