Lone Wolf or Survivalist Group?
As many of the readers know, I have joined a meetup.com group for preparedness. I joined for a couple of reasons. First, as a “lone wolf” I was looking to connect with like minded people to hopefully teach and learn from them. The second reason I joined, admittedly, was to possibly become part of a […]

DIY – Making Makeshift Shoes Out of Tires Post SHTF
NOTE: I found this post here, and thought it interesting enough as a DIY project you can file in the back of your head or put on your USB drive to carry around with you: This seems sort of odd…but in a post disaster world that may not get back to producing things like shoes very quickly, a […]
100 Skills Every Man Should Know.
Yes, I said every man, however, I believe that many women should know these as well. Especially if they are preppers or survivalist types. Don’t get excited, they are not all skills that require welding or something like that. They are skills that just make sense to me, and I wanted to share them with […]
How Stocked Should a Bug Out Location Be If You Have to Bug Out?
This is a thought that hit me this weekend as I was surfing the Web for survival topics so I could learn something new. I was looking up Bug Out Locations, and it hit me that, we (I) discuss prepping your primary home with preps primarily for Bugging In. But I started giving more thought […]

Well, this is a topic that many don’t even want to discuss… However, if there is a major breakdown in society or a huge major disaster, man made or not, could be a reality in an urban or suburban situation. Handling dead bodies is something that I have thought about but have not put much […]
Prepping And The Cost Of Spending.
Prepping can be expensive. People like to bite off more than they can chew. I did it. I felt I needed everything “now.” Food, gear, etc. When I finally settled into becoming a prepper I slowed down, took inventory of what I had, and realized where the holes are. There are still holes. I still […]
Holes In My Preps
I have been taking inventory lately of my preps lately. Everything from ammunition, water, food, medical supplies, etc. I am finding I have some issues in each area that need to be remedied. However, if you have read through my blog recently, you will also know, I am not a huge fan of “bugging in,” […]
My Thoughts About a Bug Out Location
So, I have been giving more and more thought to a BOL. Here is why: My family’s home, which is my current BOL is 100 miles from my home in NJ. It is rural, but still near major roads and is highly visible to the street, as is the garden, vehicles, etc. Conceptually, while 100 […]
