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 […]
Apartment Prepping for Fall and Winter
Well, the end of August is coming, and the weather is starting to change a bit; evenings are getting cooler, and days are starting to get a bit shorter. This to me is a clear sign of a few things. One, some of my Bug Out Bag contents need to be rotated out soon with […]
Know Nothing? Buy a Book…
It’s no secret that most people in the suburbs here in NJ get out of bed at 5:00 / 5:30 a.m., shower, and saunter their way to the train, bus, or car to commute their way to work every day. Most days it can take 30 – 120 minutes depending on the traffic here to […]
The iPad as a Modern Survival Device
Huh? The iPad as a Modern Survival Device? Really? Yup. Let me explain a little. First, I’m in the Internet business. Not going to get into a lot of that now, but I want to give you some perspective on why I say that. Second, I am a gadget guy. I suppose that is typical. […]
Goals for the Weekend.
This is more a personal post than anything else… I have had a long week. Traveled on business, and along with traveling for business came business dinners, entertaining, etc. I am really tired, and could have slept until Saturday morning from last evening; or at least that is how it feels. I could go to […]
Money, the Forgotten Prep?
I am guilty of this myself. Being in the suburbs of one of the most fascinating cities on the planet (to me) I too am guilty of whipping out a credit card or check card for every purchase. What if the power grid were to go down? What if the banking system went kaput temporarily. […]
My Thoughts on the Rule of Threes in the Suburbs and a SHTF Situation
Today, I wanted to discuss the Rule of 3’s, but not the standard Rule of 3’s. These are my additions to the Rule of 3’s that I see as making a difference in deciding to preserve yourself in a SHTF in the suburbs or an urban setting… Any survivalist, military personnel, or someone schooled in […]
Physical fitness and the survivalist; a repost from a forum that I am on
Physical fitness. Well, I have been working at getting in better physical condition over the past months. Today, I went for my first 5+ mile hike. Nine mile hike, in fact. Boy will I be in pain tomorrow. I digress. So, today, I went hiking the Appalachian trail in northwestern NJ. An area, should I […]
