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…
Man’s Best Friend? Or Worst Enemy?
An odd occurrence happened to me this winter. The short version: Late one cold evening we heard an odd sound at the front door. Our dog started barking. I didn’t see anyone at the door. No one rang the bell. So finally I carefully cracked open the door and a head…
An SKS Transformation
Well, I was sitting around a couple weeks ago, cleaning one of my rifles when I took a close look at her and thought that I might want to give her a new look. Basically replace the stock. My issue, however was that being in NJ, I have to keep her NJ legal, which…
Carbines and The New Prepper, Part One, Contributed by Cameron Green of GAPPNJ.COM
This is the first installment in a series of papers to educate the new prepper about what weapons they should have on hand. I’m approaching this from a SHTF scenario and while I’m not advocating using any firearm in an offensive manner, I stress that being able to…
“Store what you eat, eat what you store”
In the survivalist and prepper community, this is a mantra often repeated. Like any mantra or simplified rule of thumb, it serves its purpose up to the point. While having simple rules to follow is often a good thing, the devil is in the details. For me, this simple…
Reality check — Part 2: Hunting In A Post-SHTF World
Hunting in the forest or field for meat is a common theme in survival/prepping. Many preppers are already active sport hunters. Either as a supplement to limited commercial meat supplies or as the main or sole source of meat, the expectation to be able to hunt animals…
Prepping For Your Car
Let’s see… We buy food. We buy gear. We buy guns. We buy ammunition. We grow gardens. We can food. We talk about Bug Out Locations. We talk about Bugging In. We talk about a lot of things, but as I was driving home from work this evening, I had a couple of…
Different Story, Different Result
I noted previously that a lady survived 49 days in the wilderness of Nevada. Today, I read a story of a man who was trapped in Oregon and died after approximately 60 days. McDonald, 68, liked to camp. While he didn’t have a lot of food, he had gallon jugs of water, a…

Replace Your Batteries
I started this last night, but was so tired, I just couldn’t finish it… Batteries: This is a simple one, right? Everyone thinks so. Heck, I think so. I sort of pride myself on keeping on top of things even if I let them slip. Well, I let them slip. It was my…
Survival 49 Days
On Monday, I read this incredible story of a woman surviving in the Nevada wilderness: For 49 days, Rita Chretien waited for a miracle. Her husband had ventured off to get help three days after their minivan got stranded off-road in the cold, untamed Nevada…
