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 […]
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 […]
