Why Understanding Cyber Attacks Is Important For Your Survival
No one knows when or when or where the next cyberattack will occur, but it’s important to be prepared for them just in case.

How I Build My Food Storage For Long Term Preparations
So, I have a buddy that is pretty new to prepping, as I am sure many of you do know that we’re dealing with or have dealt with what was supposed to be a global deadly pandemic. Everyone went out hoarded paper products, pasta, etc from the grocery stores earlier this year. He thankfully heeded some […]
Building Your Own Isolation Room
The following was provided to me by my good friend Shane. He’s contributed to this blog in the past as Shanethenurse. Shane and I frequently talk about bug-out locations, sheltering in, medical prep, etc. As you can imagine the most recent discussions center around COVID-19. One topic that continually comes up from time to time […]
What’s Still Running After an EMP Event?
Today, I would like to take a look at what might or might not be working after a speculative EMP event regardless if it’s a manmade or natural based disaster. I think there is a lot of speculation about the types of gear, vehicles, electronics, etc. that may or may not be working post EMP. […]
Does Your Job Help You Stay Prepped, Trained, and Fit?
I work from home remotely from my company’s office. It is a curse and a blessing. I can get a LOT done in a shorter period of time because almost as soon as I wake up, wipe the sleep out of my eyes, I am at work… When I need some flex time to go […]

Ebola, Ebola, Ebola, What I Am Doing To Prepare
How many times in the last several weeks have you heard about Ebola? Too many? Me too. Some may say I am crazy, some may say I am cautious, and some are walking around living in their bubble of life without a clue. It was only a few weeks ago, when I published a booklet […]
Review: Where There Is No FEMA, Survival for Normal People in (Very) Abnormal Times, by Richard Bryant
I was asked to review the book “Where There Is No FEMA.” I’ve been turning down many book reviews lately for two reasons. First, because my time has been very limited with work, and second, because I find many books on the Prepper genre strikingly similar in content. When I was asked to review “When […]
Personal 2013 Year in Review
2013 was an interesting year for me. I didn’t blog as much as I have blogged in the past, and I think that was apparent to everyone. I prepped less this year than I have in the past. In fact by comparison to the past several years, it was mostly nonexistent. So what didn’t I […]
