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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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.

A Safe Room For Your Home

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 […]
Prepping Is The Morally Right Thing To Do
You read it right. And, frankly this is just a theory I am developing based on a conversation I had today with someone. Prepping is morally, the right thing to do. I say this because being prepared for ANY type of disaster no matter what you prep for will ease your decision to have to […]
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. […]
Your Home Crisis Guidebook for a Survival Situation or a SHTF
Family. They say family is one of the most important things in life. If it is just you and the wife or you and the husband, they are family. If you have kids, and your kids have kids, now that’s a family, and no doubt they are very important to you. If you are reading […]
