While flipping though the channels this evening, I came across a show called “Downsized,” and ironically to me, it was on the We channel. So here is what the show is about; The Bruce family is strapped for cash and $300 short on rent. Fearing eviction, they spring…

My “Get Home Bag” Replacement Contents.

Nov 5, 2010 | But Out Bag, Gear, Personal

Well, as many of you know, about a week ago or so my “Get Home Bag” from my truck was stolen from the parking lot where I had been parking my car for two plus years. In hind sight, I think it was my fault for assuming that there was ample security. Rather, I became…

Prepping For A Personal SHTF

Nov 2, 2010 | Bug In, Preparedness

My Get Home Bag Was Stolen

Oct 29, 2010 | Gear, Personal

Well, eight days on the road for work, a weekend of a R&R with friends, and I am exhausted. I just got home, but by the time you read this, it will be 12+ hours later. By the time the plane landed at Newark Airport this evening I just wanted to be home, make some…
