The Focus of Suburban Survival Blog and, if the SHTF
I am writing this post, because, it is probably something I should have written several months ago when I started writing a daily blog on my thoughts about suburban survival. I really started getting concerned about what was going on in the world when I saw little progress in Afghanistan and Iraq. I am just as […]
Podcast about Urban Survival by Chip Monk
Chip Monk is a new podcaster, podcasting about survivalism. This morning I came across his podcast on Urban Survival and thought I would share it with you.
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 […]
My Thoughts on the Bug Out Vehicle for the Suburban Survivalist
Everything I research and ponder seems to require some lump sum of cash. Skills are important, and should be practiced, and some of them require money to practice them. One of the things I have been thinking about recently is a Bug Out Vehicle (BOV). Hint, this is there the thought of money entered my […]
Independence Day Weekend at the Camp Site
Well, last weekend was a good one. Not only because I celebrated Independence Day, it was also my Mother’s birthday (she turned 65), but I was able to get out and do a little camping too. It was a hot and long one as well… It was more of a maintenance weekend than a full […]
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 […]
The Mora, by Survival Common Sense.
I bought a Frosts Mora Knife several months ago, and have carried it in my day pack since as part of my EDC and my Travel Carry. I carry it when I go camping (among other blades), hiking, etc. Survival Common Sense had a good review of the Mora. He put it through the paces, […]
If The Job Situation In the United States Isn’t A SHTF, I Don’t Know What Is…
Here is a blog post from The Economic Collapse Blog talking about the US and our job situation. If this isn’t a SHTF situation I don’t know what is. Prepping for the future is something I think is not only smart, it is a requirement. Even I do not have preps I need to ease […]
Money, the Forgotten Prep?
I am guilty of this myself. Being in the suburbs of one of the most fascinating cities on the planet (to me) I too am guilty of whipping out a credit card or check card for every purchase. What if the power grid were to go down? What if the banking system went kaput temporarily. […]
Bugging In? Think About Comfort Foods Too.
I met a prepper about a month or so ago, and we were discussing our preps, what we thought we would need based on family, situation, etc. He mentioned to me that he purchases comfort foods that he would normally pick up at the grocery store. Comfort Foods? Like candy, soda, beer, etc.? Yup, that […]
