Yesterday’s Mild TEOTWAWKI Moment at the Grocery Store
It wasn’t really a TEOTWAWKI moment, but offered an interesting glimpse of what might be. Perhaps, the ghost of Christmas future. There is a major snowstorm on the way to the northeast. It is the first one of the season and the weather channels, news channels, and everyone is predicting 12 – 18 or so […]
Bartering, Your Urban and Suburban Currency Post SHTF
I cannot deny it. I have not bartered or traded anything in about 20 years. The last thing I bartered was wen I was in business for myself, and my customer was an outdoor outfittter type of retail establishment and I bartered a Solstace Jacket, Eureka four man tent, and a new sleeping bag for […]
Christmas Presents for My Family (Worth Reading!) By My Friend Kurt
Note: This was republished with permission from my good friend Kurt S. He currently is living in Croatia, and I thought this relates a bit to survivalism, and asked him if I could re-post this. Of course he said yes. Alternate Title: Fuck You TSA These are the Christmas presents (photos) that I found and […]
Saturday Videos
First, I want to apologize for the lack of posts this week. It is unusual for me not to have or to make the time to post something for you, or learn something for myself for that matter. I am drinking from a fire hose at my new job. They threw me right in and […]
Why Home Security Is Important As A Survivalist No Matter Where You Live.
This is a subject that I feel strongly about. It might stem from being in the home security business for a few years, seeing homes and personal lives invaded, or worse because the occupants of that particular domicile did not have a security system to help protect them at their perimeter. Now, this is not […]
Tight Budget? Get Prepared Anyway.
Everyone has money on the brain these days. I don’t care how much money you have. A forum I am sometimes active on had one young man in college just sought the advice of the members on how he can get prepared, as well as help his family and his girlfriend prepare for any tough times ahead. […]
Things Happening Around the Survival Blogsphere
Today, I am running around visiting friends and family all day, so I leave you with the words of several other bloggers that I respect, and read almost daily. It’s technically my first day off this year that is really a part of the company holiday, so I plan on taking full advantage of it. […]
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 […]
Financial Readiness for Survival (A Personal Note)
I’ve come to terms this week and come to a couple of conclusions. That as a survivalist, prepper, or whatever you want to call me, I am not financially prepared for a large or even mid-size emergency. I used to be prepared for the midsize emergency, had no debt other than a car payment, and […]
Lone Wolf or Survivalist Group?
As many of the readers know, I have joined a meetup.com group for preparedness. I joined for a couple of reasons. First, as a “lone wolf” I was looking to connect with like minded people to hopefully teach and learn from them. The second reason I joined, admittedly, was to possibly become part of a […]
