Book Review: The Frugal Survivalist, Disaster Preparedness Under $500.00, by James Dakin

For those of you that do not know him, James Dakin, authors, Bison Survival Blog, is rather outspoken Prepper Survivalist that has STRONG opinions about preppers in urban and suburban areas.

PrepperJim: A Time for Thanks

In life, there is a time for everything. There is a time for a boy to become a man or a girl to become a woman. There is a time when the last frost has passed and it is time to put seeds in the ground. There is a time to work hard and a […]

I Am “SO” Out of Touch
