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.

Review of Ron Hood’s Urban Master DVD “Away From Home”
As many of you know, I do a lot of traveling for work. In fact, one of my concerns is always security and possible SHTF when I travel. I don’t think there can be a much worse situation than being without any of the gear you are familiar with than when the SHTF and…
