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…
Smoked Turkey Update, Turkey Is Smoked and Resting Before Dinner
Well, the Smoked Turkey experiment is almost done. We are fully smoked, and the picture to the left is the turkey as I unplugged the smoker. I took the temperature, and it seemed good to me by sticking the thermometer in the thigh of the turkey. The turkey is…
My Altoids EDC Emergency Kit
I carry an Altoid EDC Emergency Kit just about everywhere I go. I have one that can get through airline security (no razor blade or knife, but it does have a fire steel and scraper in the kit that makes it through security with no issues). The one I carry every day…
The Focus of Suburban Survival Blog and, if the SHTF
I am writing this post, because, it is probably something I should have written several months ago when I started writing a daily blog on my thoughts about suburban survival. I really started getting concerned about what was going on in the world when I saw little…
Food Prices at Walmart Are Out of Control
Well, I have to rant for a moment. I walked into a Walmart the other day, and honestly, I don’t like doing that. I went through the food section, thinking I would pick up a few items, and I was appalled. What happened to the prices there? They went through the…

Going to Smoke a Turkey…
Well, I picked up a 12 pound turkey today. Looked up a brining recipe online, thawed it in water for about six or so hours, and now have it brining in the refrigerator for the next 48 hours. This is going to be an interesting experiment, as I need to get my smoker…
Eating Healthier for a Better Life
I just read a blog post on Doctor Prepper this morning ab0ut healthier eating. I try to eat healthy, but if you saw me eat on a business trip, you might think I was addicted to steaks or a junk food junkie. Sad but true. I can say that I probably gain a couple of…
