What Your 2010 Survival Interests Were
It is really more than a Top 10 List. It started out that way, but I thought it would be interesting to share some of the top categories, pages, and downloads viewed and searched for on the Suburban Survival Blog in 2010. All lists are in order of popularity with the most popular being #1 […]
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 […]
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. […]
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 […]
Review of Ron Hood’s Urban Master DVD “Away From Home”
As many of you know, I do a lot of traveling for work. In fact, one of my concerns is always security and possible SHTF when I travel. I don’t think there can be a much worse situation than being without any of the gear you are familiar with than when the SHTF and you are […]
My “Get Home Bag” Replacement Contents.
Well, as many of you know, about a week ago or so my “Get Home Bag” from my truck was stolen from the parking lot where I had been parking my car for two plus years. In hind sight, I think it was my fault for assuming that there was ample security. Rather, I became complacent. […]
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 […]
A Safe Room For Your Home
I am not really sure this is going to apply to those of us who live in apartments. However, I may touch on that in this post. Much of what we discuss, or I write, rather, revolves around bugging out. As mentioned in a previous post, I was going to consider situations in the suburbs […]
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 […]
