First Look at a Potential Bug Out Location Property
Over the past year, I have written several posts on Bug Out Locations. They discuss simple things such as my thoughts, shelters, how stocked they should be, purchasing them, etc. If you have not read them, here they are: My Thoughts on a Bug Out Location Build a Portable Yurt for a Shelter at Your […]

Would YOU be a shelter? (Remembering Anne Frank)
veryone loves a scapegoat. Throughout history whenever something terrible happens either for reasons too complex for the common person to grasp or just the culmination of many other events people as a whole try to seek out someone, some group of people, to blame for the problem. Rarely do they see themselves as a cause […]
A Look Back At a Katrina Experience… An Expereinced Prepper Tells All
It should be noted, that this was sent to me by a friend yesterday. I did not write this, and neither did he, rather it comes from a prepper who evacuated LA and posted this story in a forum (www.zombiehunters.org). It is a chronicle of what worked for him and his family and what did not in […]

Criminals After the SHTF, or I’m Trying to Get Money for Food, the SHTF for Many Already

Disposing of Human Waste in the Suburbs During a SHTF
It’s summer here in the Northeast, and it is getting hot quickly. Honestly, I love it. It’s June, and in the mid 80’s and as I was watching a movie this evening on TV, it hit me. What happens if the power goes out. And, what if it stays off for a day or […]
Survival at Sea, 51 Days
Another survival story, attributed mostly to luck. A crewman on a commercial tuna-fishing boat was the first to spot it: something shiny and metallic in the water off the ship’s bow. The crewman alerted the navigator, and the 280-foot San Nikunau slightly altered course to avoid a collision. As the ship came closer, the object […]
Reality check – Part 2: Hunting In A Post-SHTF World
Hunting in the forest or field for meat is a common theme in survival/prepping. Many preppers are already active sport hunters. Either as a supplement to limited commercial meat supplies or as the main or sole source of meat, the expectation to be able to hunt animals is a corner stone of many survival plans. […]
