Promises To Keep : Your New Post-SHFT Credit Card

Sep 27, 2011 | Barter, Guest Posts, Money, Survivalism

There is no honor among thieves. But, thankfully, most people aren’t thieves. Even in a SHTF scenario, with some exception (e.g. Katrina), most people do behave well. For the most part. Living in or near a big city it can be hard to understand that a persons’ word…

Sep 20, 2011 | Bug Out, Bug Out Location, Guest Posts, Homesteading, Preparedness, Self Reliance, Shelter, Survivalism

This article is a response to Suburban’s May 31st article “Thinking About Buying Rural Land for Your Bug Out Location”. A good article certainly. I too have been looking into the possibility of buying some undeveloped (“raw” as Suburban puts it) land, both as a BOL…

September is National Preparedness Month

Sep 14, 2011 | Cooking, Energy, Fire, first aid, Food, Gardening, Guns & Weapons, Health, Light, Personal, Water

Our government has designated September as “National Preparedness Month”. This contrasts with the FBI’s profiling preppers as potential terrorists. I imagine the message is “be prepared”, but don’t be too prepared. We still want you dependent upon the government, so…

Sep 12, 2011 | Food, Preparedness

I am going to try to be realistic here. There are posts all over the Web on preppers sites about starting your prepping for $5.00 a week. But what does $5.00 really buy these days. In my case $5.00 can buy: — 3 — 4 cans of soup, — 3 — 4 cans of tuna, chicken or…

Please Never Forget This Day, and Take a Moment To Remember and Reflect.

Sep 11, 2011 | Personal

This day, is not unlike Pearl Harbor or ANY other day where American blood was shed unnecessarily or to save the life of another human being in another country around the world. I will never forget where I was, that day. No one will. It went in slow motion for me,…

Remembering 9/11

Sep 10, 2011 | Airport Security, Government, Personal, Self Reliance, Urban Survival

9/11 is definitely a pivotal moment from the last 20 years, especially for the western world. It was a moment when an unanticipated attack took place which claimed the lives of almost 3,000 Americans. What followed thrust our nation into two (or more) wars and…
