One Hour Meltdown and More. Thanks Survival Mom.
Thanks for scaring me to death… Not really… Back in January of 2010 The SurvivalMom published a post on “The One-Hour Meltdown.” I actually came across this last week for the first time. Not sure how I missed it, but, in trolling her blog, it popped up. She’s right to be scared of this, especially […]
Do You Have Bug In Plans For The Workplace?
Have any of you thought about having to bug in at your workplace. Most of the time I think about bugging out with my Get Home Bag and don’t really think too much about what might happen if I have to stay in an office for a few days, or longer. A few days ago, […]
Shipping Containers As A Bug Out Shelter
Well, in investigating options for Bug Out Shelters, I have investigated modular homes, cabins, log cabins, earth shelters, travel trailers, campers, etc. The one thing I have found (and not just recently) is one that is pre-built and can be shipped and dropped off right to you. You can lease, finance, or purchase them, get […]
Build Process Into Your Preparedness
So, yesterday, on The Survival Mom’s blog, she had a post on “What SurvivalMom Can Learn from Starbucks” about survival or prepping. I read it with interest, because I try to think outside the box when it comes to my prepping and other areas in my life. It helps me to justify what I am doing as […]
Saturday Videos and a Bit More

Your Home Crisis Guidebook for a Survival Situation or a SHTF
Family. They say family is one of the most important things in life. If it is just you and the wife or you and the husband, they are family. If you have kids, and your kids have kids, now that’s a family, and no doubt they are very important to you. If you are reading […]
Looking Into Solar Backup
So, I have been looking into solar backup systems for several low voltage pieces of equipment. I’ve been looking into this now for probably about a year. Of course, I’ve done nothing about it partly due to cost, and partly due to the fact that I have to retrofit some items with lower voltage bulbs, […]
Made In The USA? No Made In Elsewhere.
This may end up being more of a rant than not, but I wanted to write a little blurb about how I am trying to buy these days. I have been looking for “Made in USA” labels recently. I have a strong belief that money that circulates here in our country is better served than […]
Auto Parts Stores for Preps or Last Minute Preps if the SHTF
Friday, as I was in the Strauss Auto Parts Store while they were changing my oil, rotating my tires, and replacing my air filter. It occurred to me that the auto parts / supply store is a veritable candy store of preps for your home, Bug Out Location, car. While every one is running to […]
One Suburban Apartment Preppers Plan
Taken from a survival forum and copied to a word document late last year for my own review going forward: Now some people live in apartments like myself, I figured we needed a thread for suggestions for folks like myself. I’m pretty creative and have some ideas that I will be enacting soon if not […]
