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…

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…
EDC Bag Reconfiguration
When I first began prepping, I put a tactical messenger bag on my Amazon Christmas list so that I could carry “stuff” around to be a “survivalist” if the “SHTF”. I am putting those words in quotation, because I had no idea at the time what stuff I needed to face a…
Reality check — Part 1: Farming/Growing Your Own Food
Every survival/prepping website and book has some section on growing your own food during a SHTF event. There are ads for seed companies showing a person pushing a shopping cart down isles of empty supermarket shelves and the caption reads something like “How are you…
All Prepping, All the Time
“All Prepping and No Play, Makes Jim a Dull Boy” One downside to being a prepper is there is always something that needs doing to prepare for possible emergencies. People in your life may not share the same sense of urgency, to the point of being annoyed at your…

Barter – To trade by exchange of commodities rather than by the use of money. (Source: Dictionary.com. Source location: Random House, inc.) Much has been written about the use of barter in a post SHTF/TEOTWAWKI. event. Even in “merely” a post-financial collapse/SHTF…

Bin Laden Dead, No Change in Prepper State
As I went to bed without checking the news, I guess I was one of the last people in the world to learn of the death of Osama Bin Laden. As someone whose life-view was changed by 9/11, this is a momenteous event. Justice was slow but, in the end, final. For preppers…
