Back to the Basics

Mar 7, 2012 | Preparedness, Water, Weather

I’ve been prepping for about 18 months now and have kind of lost the spark that drives me to keep going. I really have not done anything for the past two months other than listen to The Survival Podcast and some other “small” projects (subject of future posts). So, I…

Mar 5, 2012 | Preparedness

This was sent to me by a friend, and if you have not seen it, I think it is worth it… I thought I would share. Suburban Security, Part One httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eFSxIIqXU38

Was “Doomsday Preppers” Necessary?

Mar 4, 2012 | Prepping

I watched it. I saved them on my DVR, and watched them. You watched them. We watched them. We critiqued each prepper based on what we have and know. Admit it. You secretly did. I know I did. As the scenario was laid out I said, “they need more water, they need…

Mosin-Nagant for the survivalist

Feb 13, 2012 | Guns & Weapons, Preparedness

I am a big fan of the Mosin-Nagant rifles. What can I say the commies knew how to make a great rifle, though this rifle was designed and in use before Lenin and company came to power. There are a few variants of the common Mosin-Nagant rifle that most people are…

Survival Heater for Your Car, My Test

Feb 13, 2012 | Fire, Gear, Improvised Gear, Preparedness, Prepping, Self Reliance, Weather

I know. Everyone has done a YouTube lesson on how to build one of these inexpensive emergency heaters for your car. Honestly, I had to try it for myself to be sure that it “worked.” Many people use empty steel coffee cans, some people improvise and use what they might…

I Forgot My EDC…

Feb 12, 2012 | EDC, Gear

Well, I am in Florida on business. I’m here for a week. Maybe longer. I’m happy to be here, because it seems winter has finally met with the Northeast. However, I feel naked. I left my travel EDC kit in my my GHB accidentally, in the trunk of my car. All I have is a…

Test Cooking with Preps, Breakfast for Dinner, Part One

Feb 10, 2012 | Bug In, Food, Preparedness, Prepping, Self Reliance

I like breakfast for dinner. I do. I have James Bond’s fetish for scrambled eggs. Give me scrambled eggs, an omelet, or frittata any day of the week and I am a happy guy. So, tonight, we make breakfast for dinner. I have picked up some tester / samples from…

A Flashlight Review, The HybridLight Company

Feb 2, 2012 | Preparedness, Survival Gear

I was recently contacted by The HybridLight Company. I traded emails with them for a day or two and asked them about a hybrid solar/battery powered flashlight they sell. Honestly, at first, I wasn’t that enthusiastic about reviewing a flashlight. Everyone has their…

Look Who’s Coming to Dinner

Jan 31, 2012 | Civil Unrest, Guest Posts, Levels of Awareness, Preparedness, Psychology, Self Reliance

(Note: This article is both a stand-alone piece as well as a response to the article “Who would you bug out with?” that appeared recently on this site.) ”If I am not for myself, who will be for me? And if not now, when?” – Rabbi Hillel (Jewish scholar &…
