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 […]
Prepper Jim’s Pocket EDC
“You know you are a prepper if it takes five minutes to load your pockets each time you leave the house.” The subject of gear seems to be of great interest to the prepper community so I will address my gear-related items from time-to-time. I have come to think that gear cannot solve all problems, just give you more […]
What I Did First, by PrepperJim
I am going to preface PrepperJim’s post today with a brief statement, and say that I really personally enjoyed this post, as it let me know that I was not alone in making my own mistakes. Making mistakes is how many of us learn, especially when we have no one else to bounce our […]

‘Suburban’s” Take on Sharing Your Gear, Supplies, and Food With Others
Over the past couple of weeks a reader and someone I correspond with via email wrote a couple of posts for the blog that have had some good comments associated with them regarding ethics and gear. You can find them here if you have not read them: The Case for Non-lethal Defense Share and Share […]
Understanding Everyone In the City Will Be a Refugee Post SHTF
Not often spoken of, I think in the survivalist or prepper circle, is how to avoid becoming a refugee post SHTF. We talk a lot about prepping, we talk a lot about bugging out or bugging in, but we never really talk about the situation where we do find ourselves shut off from our gear […]
Wow, What a Week. A few Updates, a Passed Up Savage, and More…

It is the first one of the season and the weather channels, news channels, and everyone is predicting 12 – 18 or so […]
