Hygiene In the Field, or Bug Out Hygiene
I’ve done a lot of camping this summer, and with the drought, you can imagine it was pretty hot out there. I can attest that it was. At our camp site we cut a lot of wood, and we used much of it for the camp fire. Those were hot days swinging an axe, and […]

Rural Land for Bug Out Location: A Response to Suburban
This article is a response to Suburban’s May 31st article “Thinking About Buying Rural Land for Your Bug Out Location”. A good article certainly.

The Bug Out Trailer or The Camping Trailer
Recently, I read a post over at Scott William’s, Bug-Out Survival blog called 4×4 Tent Trailers for Hauling Your Stuff Off Road.
