A Friend Has Lost Everything, Checked Into a Men’s Shelter…

This post is very close to my heart…  It pains me to write it, as it affects a friend of mine directly, that refuses help, as I will illustrate. I have a friend I got a call from this week.  He has lost his job, his apartment, much of his clothing,  his parents (family) lives […]

My Large Bug Out Bag Contents

This bag is for the SHTF, and having to evacuate to Western NJ, Northeastern PA, or the Catskills in NY.  It will be packed and ready to go from my apartment.  I may also build a second identical bag in the event I cannot get to the one at the apartment. This is a heavy […]

Independence Day Weekend at the Camp Site

Well, last weekend was a good one.  Not only because I celebrated Independence Day, it was also my Mother’s birthday (she turned 65), but I was able to get out and do a little camping too.  It was a hot and long one as well…  It was more of a maintenance weekend than a full […]

Car preparedness for the urban or suburban dweller

I wasn’t really sure how tittle this blog post this morning, so with luck I will be able to explain it in more detail to you.  First, I am good for at least one flat tire a year in an area where I may or may not have cell coverage, love to go camping, but sometimes have […]
