Yesterday’s Mild TEOTWAWKI Moment at the Grocery Store
It wasn’t really a TEOTWAWKI moment, but offered an interesting glimpse of what might be. Perhaps, the ghost of Christmas future. There is a major snowstorm on the way to the northeast. It is the first one of the season and the weather channels, news channels, and everyone is predicting 12 – 18 or so […]
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 […]

I’m pretty creative and have some ideas that I will be enacting soon if not […]
Apartment Prepping for Fall and Winter
Well, the end of August is coming, and the weather is starting to change a bit; evenings are getting cooler, and days are starting to get a bit shorter. This to me is a clear sign of a few things. One, some of my Bug Out Bag contents need to be rotated out soon with […]
What Are We Talking Here, Man Made Disasters or Natural Disasters?
Well, while I am semi watching a little TV this evening, I figured I would bring up a topic that I seldom discuss. Natural disasters.
