Who Would You Bug Out With?
A question on one of the boards I am on popped up, and I responded, which I rarely do these days. I’ve been kind of burned out of writing and been focusing on building more preps, losing some of my flab and getting into better shape, etc.… However, I thought this was in interesting question. […]
Book Review: The Frugal Survivalist, Disaster Preparedness Under $500.00, by James Dakin
For those of you that do not know him, James Dakin, authors, Bison Survival Blog, is rather outspoken Prepper Survivalist that has STRONG opinions about preppers in urban and suburban areas. In fact, he calls us “Yuppie Preppers.” I find his blog full of entertainment, interesting paranoia, frugal prepper and survivalist information, and touches of […]
The 3rd Wave, Evacuation From A Disaster Location
Let me preface this article by acknowledging the source for the idea of this article comes from another peppers’ video. Unfortunately, it’s been a long time I’ve mulled over this topic and I don’t recall who exactly it was. With that out of the way, let’s get started. The subject of evacuation from a disaster […]

Saturday Videos
This week, I looked for more thought provoking videos than the standard stuff from week to week… As preppers in the burbs of a city, I think we all forget where stuff really comes from, and some of these videos address this. If you are thinking about a bug out location, some of these illustrate […]
A Prepper Ammunition Discussion
The other night at dinner we got talking about ammunition caches… We discussed at a high leve what we thought everyone should have (personally speaking, of course). One of the guys brought up JWR’s guide to ammo storage. As you may or may not know, I think JWR, is a gear nut and that he […]
And Then There Was a Dinner Meeting
Last week, I had dinner with three other preppers. One was new, and the two others I have been in touch with for some time. We all live in Northern NJ, and are concerned with the economy, job growth, Bugging In, Bugging Out, etc. The conversation twisted and turned in many directions. We talked about forming a group, […]

Gold: A Misunderstood Metal
With the remarkable rise in the price of gold over the last 2 years (as of writing this) as well as the apparent uncertainties, even declines, in more traditional icons of American economic prowess the yellow metal has once again come to the forefront of interest by both preppers and individual investors. Add to that […]
Who Will Help me Eat My Bread?
There is an old children’s story about someone who asks “Who will help me make my bread?” No one helps. No one helps plant the wheat, harvest the wheat, mill the wheat, make the dough, or bake it. But at the end when it is asked who will help eat the bread everyone comes running […]
