Carbines and The New Prepper, Part One, Contributed by Cameron Green of GAPPNJ.COM
This is the first installment in a series of papers to educate the new prepper about what weapons they should have on hand.

Prepper Jim’s Goals

My New Boots
This may be a mundane post by comparison to others, but I had to tell you about my new boots. Personally, I hate winter boots. I think most of them actually suck at the job they are supposed to do. I know how to dress for the cold, I layer, I wear my wool or […]
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 […]
