The High Level Plan to Preparedness
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 […]
Understanding Everyone In the City Will Be a Refugee Post SHTF
Not often spoken of, I think in the survivalist or prepper circle, is how to avoid becoming a refugee post SHTF. We talk a lot about prepping, we talk a lot about bugging out or bugging in, but we never really talk about the situation where we do find ourselves shut off from our gear […]
Teamwork for Suburban and Urban Survival – Part Three
Yesterday, I finished up the post by illustrating the old west. Wouldn’t it be great to roll up on a small town that is isolated from the rest of society, is self sufficient, has a great agricultural community, steel mill, power plant, honest people with good skills, etc. Good luck. No such place that I […]
Bartering, Your Urban and Suburban Currency Post SHTF

Basic Mindset of the Urban and Suburban Survivalist
Mindset. Why do you do what you do? Why do you prep? What brought you to this point? Once you got there, how did it change you? How did it shift your thought patterns? The answers to these questions and more are what may be the basis for how you are thinking today. I was […]
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 I kept […]
Financial Readiness for Survival (A Personal Note)
I’ve come to terms this week and come to a couple of conclusions. That as a survivalist, prepper, or whatever you want to call me, I am not financially prepared for a large or even mid-size emergency. I used to be prepared for the midsize emergency, had no debt other than a car payment, and […]
Reader Question About Civil Unrest and Gun Confiscation
This question was published with permission from the author. The question email poses the question of gun confiscation during time(s) of civil unrest and during a disaster where any government is capable of reaching out and confiscating guns “for the good of the people.” I’ve read your blog for several weeks now and found it […]
