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.

Pigeon? For Dinner?
Okay, I was in the car for about four hours today… I had some time to think… My mind started to wander, and the gears were spinning. I asked myself, if the S#!t has hit the fan while I was in Philadelphia, and I knew no one. If food supplies are low and I was in…

I Ordered My ARRL Ham Radio License Manual
I ordered my ARRL Ham Radio License Manual this week. It was predicated on the Northern NJ Meetup I attended a couple weeks ago, and another gentleman I met at the meetup some time ago that has his Ham license. There is a lot of chatter in the survivalist world…
A Fine From the TSA… I Should Have Expected It…
Remember that little post I wrote a month or so ago about my morning at Newark Airport? Well about 30 days ago, I get a letter in the mail from the TSA. What did it say you might ask? Well, they imposed a $250.00 civil penalty against me. I am assuming this paid…
