The Modular Survival Kit, Cache Valley Prepper
The Modular Survival Kit is a fairly simple concept. And one that I know that the military is familiar with, but not one that I’ve heard get much attention in the prepping community. Once I had built up my kit, as any aspiring survivalist would do, I did a few practice bug-outs in the form […]

Thoughts on Budget Guns for Survival, Part Two
It’s been a month or so since I published the post Thoughts on Budget Guns for Survival, Part One, and honestly I haven’t given this much thought since then. However, I think with the new year, and with many new resolutions out there, I want to get this post completed as the final post in […]
Book Review: Surviving the Economic Collapse
I recently heard of a man called Fernando “Ferfal” Aguirre from Jack Spirko over at The Survival Podcast. Ferfal is from Argentina and has lived through their economic crash from December 2001 until today. He wrote a booked about his experience called Surviving The Economic Collapse. He also has a blog called The Modern Survivalist. I bought the book […]
Carbines, Shotguns, Rifles, and The New Prepper, Part Two, Contributed by Cameron Green of GAPPNJ.COM
This is the second installment in a series of papers to educate the new prepper about what weapons they should have on hand. I’m approaching this from a SHTF scenario, and while I’m not advocating using any firearm in an offensive manner, I stress that being able to use one to defend yourself is imperative… […]
CCW Class with GAPPNJ and Cameron Green
I arrived early to the location where GAPP was holding the Utah and Florida CCW course, or at least I thought I was going to be early. It was 30 minutes before the class was to begin, and there were already a half dozen people waiting outside the front door to gain admission to the building […]
The High Level Plan to Preparedness
Well, after last evening’s interview with Doctor Prepper, I thought I would write up a few thoughts on planning for your preparedness goals. This will probably appeal to novice preppers, but it got me thinking about a few points of discussion around how to get the ball rolling and keep your head on straight at the same […]
Obscure Book and Movie Recommendations
Obscure Book and Movie Recommendations, as provided to me by an anonymous reader and contributor Survival blogs and websites are full of reviews about this or that book for preparation and/or outdoor survival skills. Or how a popular movie or TV show exemplifies this or that aspect of preparation and survival. That is not the […]
Teamwork for Suburban and Urban Survival – Part Three
Yesterday, I finished up the post by illustrating the old west. Wouldn’t it be great to roll up on a small town that is isolated from the rest of society, is self sufficient, has a great agricultural community, steel mill, power plant, honest people with good skills, etc. Good luck. No such place that I […]
Apartment Prepping, the Real Deal In My Opinion
I hesitated writing this because I wanted it to be comprehensive, but I don’t want it to be a book. However, I am going to let it be as long as it needs to be at this point. Yesterday, I was out at my NJ Preparedness Meetup and one of the people asked me how I kept […]
