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 […]
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 […]
Review of Ron Hood’s Urban Master Volume 1, The Home
After it sitting on my shelf of a couple of months, I slipped Ron Hood’s DVD on Urban Survival in the DVD player this weekend. In the first volume Ron discusses Urban Survival tactics for the following categories: Home Away from Home Threats to Your Person Urban Skills Recovery
Lone Wolf or Survivalist Group?
As many of the readers know, I have joined a meetup.com group for preparedness. I joined for a couple of reasons. First, as a “lone wolf” I was looking to connect with like minded people to hopefully teach and learn from them. The second reason I joined, admittedly, was to possibly become part of a […]

DIY – Making Makeshift Shoes Out of Tires Post SHTF
NOTE: I found this post here, and thought it interesting enough as a DIY project you can file in the back of your head or put on your USB drive to carry around with you: This seems sort of odd…but in a post disaster world that may not get back to producing things like shoes […]
100 Skills Every Man Should Know.
Yes, I said every man, however, I believe that many women should know these as well. Especially if they are preppers or survivalist types. Don’t get excited, they are not all skills that require welding or something like that. They are skills that just make sense to me, and I wanted to share them with […]
How Stocked Should a Bug Out Location Be If You Have to Bug Out?
This is a thought that hit me this weekend as I was surfing the Web for survival topics so I could learn something new. I was looking up Bug Out Locations, and it hit me that, we (I) discuss prepping your primary home with preps primarily for Bugging In. But I started giving more thought […]
Urban and Suburban Survival – Handling Dead Bodies in a SHTF
Well, this is a topic that many don’t even want to discuss… However, if there is a major breakdown in society or a huge major disaster, man made or not, could be a reality in an urban or suburban situation. Handling dead bodies is something that I have thought about but have not put much […]
Prepping And The Cost Of Spending.
Prepping can be expensive. People like to bite off more than they can chew. I did it. I felt I needed everything “now.” Food, gear, etc. When I finally settled into becoming a prepper I slowed down, took inventory of what I had, and realized where the holes are. There are still holes. I still […]
