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…

On The Heals Of My Last Post About The AR‑7
So, I am a huge fan of the .22 long rifle. It’s a classic rifle that most every kid cuts their teeth on learning how to shoot. I earned many NRA marksmanship awards after learning how to shoot at summer camp when I was a kid. If I remember, I earned the level of…
Reviews of the Henry Survival Rifle / AR‑7
So a couple months ago I bought a Henry .22 Survival rifle. It is an interesting rifle that packs up into its own stock for storage. I’ve shot it a couple of times and have mixed feelings about it. It seems to do exactly what Henry said it would do, and the…
Survivalist Fiction — “Unintended Consequences,” by John Ross

I Raided My Bug Out Bag. A Dumb Thing To Do
So, in order to do a little camping this past weekend, I raided my Bug Out Bag. Dumb thing to do. Why you might ask. Well, now I have to replace it. I was in such a hurry on Friday to gather my stuff together, I need to re-assemble part of the bag, and I have to…

Here is a blog post from The Economic Collapse Blog talking about the US and our job situation. If this isn’t a SHTF situation I don’t know what is. Prepping for the future is something I think is not only smart, it is a requirement. Even I do not have preps I need…
