Prepping For A Personal SHTF
Today I want to take the time to talk a little about something I have not. The title says it all, I think, with the exception of defining what a “Personal SHTF” is because, well, it’s personal. In today’s economy, I think that most people might define a personal SHTF as a job loss. it […]
What Would You Do If Technology Failed?
Recently, I picked up the book “When Technology Fails” although I have not started reading it yet, I came across this video this morning, and wanted to share it with you. Before I even start to read When Technology Fails, I was starting to ponder, what might happen if it were to fail. I don’t […]

Do You Have Bug In Plans For The Workplace?
Have any of you thought about having to bug in at your workplace. Most of the time I think about bugging out with my Get Home Bag and don’t really think too much about what might happen if I have to stay in an office for a few days, or longer. A few days ago, […]
Shipping Containers As A Bug Out Shelter
Well, in investigating options for Bug Out Shelters, I have investigated modular homes, cabins, log cabins, earth shelters, travel trailers, campers, etc. The one thing I have found (and not just recently) is one that is pre-built and can be shipped and dropped off right to you. You can lease, finance, or purchase them, get […]
Build Process Into Your Preparedness
So, yesterday, on The Survival Mom’s blog, she had a post on “What SurvivalMom Can Learn from Starbucks” about survival or prepping. I read it with interest, because I try to think outside the box when it comes to my prepping and other areas in my life. It helps me to justify what I am doing as […]
Pigeon? For Dinner?
Okay, I was in the car for about four hours today… I had some time to think… My mind started to wander, and the gears were spinning. I asked myself, if the S#!t has hit the fan while I was in Philadelphia, and I knew no one. If food supplies are low and I was […]
The Design of a Bug Out Weekend Gear Test
I joined, not too long ago, a preparedness meetup group in Northern NJ. There seem to be only a few of us that are regulars and show up once a month to the meeting. There are various other members of the group that may make it depending on their schedules or not. One of the ideas we […]
DIY – Making Makeshift Shoes Out of Tires Post SHTF
NOTE: I found this post here, and thought it interesting enough as a DIY project you can file in the back of your head or put on your USB drive to carry around with you: This seems sort of odd…but in a post disaster world that may not get back to producing things like shoes very quickly, a […]
How Do You Classify a SHTF Event?
I tend to think a lot when I have a little down time. I was on the plane for work this week and it hit me, that I am not sure h0w I would classify what type of an event and how severe it was before I were going to bug out or bug in. […]
