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.

Rice and Beans? Beans and Rice?
Rice and beans – unquestionably the top two items most often cited as “must-haves” in any preppers pantry. Even for non-preppers, when discussion of having a few extra food supplies on hand comes up (and this comes up a lot more these days in a great many venues)…

Another survival story, attributed mostly to luck. A crewman on a commercial tuna-fishing boat was the first to spot it: something shiny and metallic in the water off the ship’s bow. The crewman alerted the navigator, and the 280-foot San Nikunau slightly altered…
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
