Bare Minimum Gear You Should Have at Your Bug Out Location
So, after having a conversation with a couple of preppers this week, I decided to put together a list of gear in no particular order around what you should have at your Bug Out Location. Recently I have been chatting with a lot of people around this, and it seems to me that while your […]
Accelerating the Purchase of Preps
Ideally, you replace one can of something with two cans of that same something when you use it and you are rotating your preps. Lately, I have been a bit lazy thinking I have had enough, but I really do not, and if you read Friday’s post, clearly my head is spinning about what to […]

Thinking About More Preps, Goals, Milestones, and Disaster
It’s a fantastic evening here in NJ, with the exception of my allergies kicking up, which reminds me. Time to stock up a few seasons worth of Zyrtec or some other anti-hystimine. As long as they as stored correctly, they should last for several years without worrying they go bad. I think it is going […]
CCW Class with GAPPNJ and Cameron Green
I arrived early to the location where GAPP was holding the Utah and Florida CCW course, or at least I thought I was going to be early. It was 30 minutes before the class was to begin, and there were already a half dozen people waiting outside the front door to gain admission to the building […]
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 Just Took Over The NJ Preparedness Meetup Group
While it may not make a difference to many of you, our meeting group was in danger of dying a quick death. It also looks like I am getting rather ambitious, and it may not be for the best. I can barely find time to write this blog anymore, and thank goodness for the few […]
Obscure Book and Movie Recommendations
Obscure Book and Movie Recommendations, as provided to me by an anonymous reader and contributor Survival blogs and websites are full of reviews about this or that book for preparation and/or outdoor survival skills. Or how a popular movie or TV show exemplifies this or that aspect of preparation and survival. That is not the […]
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 […]
The Case For Non-Lethal Defense
Guest Post by a reader who wishes to remain anonymous. You can’t get away from it. Prepping/survival blogs, websites, books, videos etc. all inevitable (and sometimes initially too) discuss the need for a defense strategy in the face of a SHTF event leading to living (at least temporarily) in a WROL environment. That form of […]
