Grab Paper
A post by a guest author who would like to remain anonymous Articles and videos abound that discuss grab bags (aka “bug out bags”) for a SHTF event. Each varies somewhat for content but in general they all mention taking supplies of food, water, communications, clothes, medical, lighting, heating, defenses, etc. All good things to […]
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 […]
Duct Tape as a Survival Tool
Sigh, So here I was, about to write a post about some or many of the uses of Duct Tape in a survival situation. Just before I sat down to write this post, I did a last minute search for Duct Tape and Survival… I should not have been surprised when I found many bloggers […]
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 […]

The Importance of Being Prepared
There is more snow coming this weekend. According to how the weather looks there might be quite a bit of snow over the next couple of weeks. Snow does not make me happy. Especially now because the towns around me have NOT cleaned up the snow on the side of the road limiting the amount […]
Form/Join a Survivalist or Prepper Group or Lone Wolf it?
I joined the Northern NJ Preparedness Meetup because I was interested in survival preparedness. I think that society, especially in the suburbs, socially frown on prepping and preparedness in general. Almost everyone I have met that is a prepper in New Jersey has prepared for disaster very quietly. Including myself. For me to join a […]
Tight Budget? Get Prepared Anyway.
Everyone has money on the brain these days. I don’t care how much money you have. A forum I am sometimes active on had one young man in college just sought the advice of the members on how he can get prepared, as well as help his family and his girlfriend prepare for any tough times ahead. […]
The Mobile Washer
So, I just got my Mobile Washer. Primarily I purchased it for camping trips next year so that I could wash the smoke and body odors out of my clothes while camping for a few days, and decrease the number of clothing items I bring. It looks like a nifty little item that allows you […]
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 […]
