The book itself is short, and not full of fluff once you start digging into it. […]

As a each of us go through our preparations for the SHTF or TEOTWAWKI, you may come across people who have achieved a level of preparedness most of only dream of. That is, they have a fully stocked bomb shelter in a rural location with 20 years of food, water, fuel, gear, guns, ammo and […]
Thinking About Buying Rural Land for Your Bug Out Location
Land in a rural area for a Bug Out Location is romantic thought for me, and recently I have been looking at prices within a couple hour drive of where I live in an area that is the polar opposite of where I live. I make some notes about a year ago around the prices […]

What Boy Scouts (Sorry Ladies) is to Preparedness.
When I was visiting family two weekends ago, I was sitting at the kitchen table chatting with my mother. I happened to lok down at the table and a brochure caught my eye.

Since spring has sprung, I have been giving thought to the mini garden that is going to inhabit the deck on the back of my apartment this year. What will I plant, how much travel will I have, and how much time am I going to have to tend to the container garden, blah, blah, […]

Well, after last evening’s interview with Doctor Prepper, I thought I would write up a few thoughts on planning for your preparedness goals. This will probably appeal to novice preppers, but it got me thinking about a few points of discussion around how to get the ball rolling and keep your head on straight at the same […]
I’ve Been Pretty Quiet Lately
So, I’ve been pretty quite lately. There are two reasons for this, primarily. First, my new job, which isn’t so new anymore, has had me working and traveling between 12 – 15 hours a day. That may not be a lot to some of you, and if I sound like I am bitching, I apologize […]
