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 Look Back At a Katrina Experience… An Expereinced Prepper Tells All
It should be noted, that this was sent to me by a friend yesterday. I did not write this, and neither did he, rather it comes from a prepper who evacuated LA and posted this story in a forum (www.zombiehunters.org). It is a chronicle of what worked for him and his…
Escaping From New York City. Is It Really a Viable Concept in a SHTF?
Live in New York City? Visiting NYC this summer? Work in New York City? Going into the City for dinner, show, happy hour, etc.?Guess what, today we explore ways to get out of the city in the event of a SHTF, prior to roadblocks, martial law, tunnels being closed,…
Prepper Fitness
In a survival forum, it was noted that: “Remember the first rules from Zombieland. No, not “double tap.” Cardio. If you’re a couch potato you need to fix this right now.” Yes, I am a former athlete that has been a couch potato for too long. I am also above 40 and…
A Cold Winter in Urbania
It may not be the coldest winter on record but the winter of 2010/2011 sure felt like it was in the Northeast. And it is definitely one of the snowiest in living memory and on record. Pretty much every week since the beginning of the New Year has brought a snow storm.…

In an attempt to learn more about you, my reader(s), I’ve decided to start taking anonymous polls from time to time. I realize that I want to be even more interactive with you the audience. So please, take just a moment to take this short poll so that I can learn…
Criminals After the SHTF, or I’m Trying to Get Money for Food, the SHTF for Many Already
Not everyone is a hardened criminal. Not everyone will turn to crime when the SHTF. When people are desperate, they do desperate things when their back is against the wall. Being a former criminology major (a LONG time ago) one of the things I like to do is take…
Seasonalize Your Preps
Each season has its own prepper challenges and difficulties. It is June so that means hurricane season on the gulf coast. Even if you don’t live in a hurricane-prone area, June is also a good time to refresh your preps so they are updated for both seasonal and shelf…
This is What We Are Up Against!
We, as preppers, by definition think ahead about “what if” scenarios. I grant that some people take preparing to unrealistic/unlikely extremes (I highly doubt an alien invasion or a zombie apocalypse for example). And as preppers we generally do think about the well…
