Does Your Job Help You Stay Prepped, Trained, and Fit?
I work from home remotely from my company’s office. It is a curse and a blessing. I can get a LOT done in a shorter period of time because almost as soon as I wake up, wipe the sleep out of my eyes, I am at work… When I need some flex time to go […]
No More Apartment Prepping… Any advice?
Well, it seems I usually start out a post with, “It’s been a while, but…” In this case, I can say that it’s been just about two months; it’s been stressful, rewarding, expensive, and much more. Anyway, as the title says, I’m out of the apartment into a house. There is a LOT more space. Any […]
Personal 2013 Year in Review
2013 was an interesting year for me. I didn’t blog as much as I have blogged in the past, and I think that was apparent to everyone. I prepped less this year than I have in the past. In fact by comparison to the past several years, it was mostly nonexistent. So what didn’t I […]
Summer’s Here, Work, Future Plans, and Prepping
Well, summer is officially upon us. When it came it came with heat and humidity. With that there are supposed to be severe thunder storms all week here in NJ.

What Data Retention Means to the Preparedness Minded Today.
Living in a digital age, privacy is minimal if someone wants to find you and if you are socially active online. I thought this video might be important to share. I will be asking my mobile access company what information they are storing about me…
The Get Home Bag for the Girlfriend and Her Impending Education
As I mentioned in a previous post, I was concerned about making sure my girlfriend was prepared for an emergency, primarily to get to my domicile in the event of an impending or happening disastrous situation. I hope to make sure she is safe as well as her dog, whom I have become very fond of, despite […]
Prepping, a New Girlfriend, and Her Dog…
Well, We’re all preparing here for whatever it is we are preparing for. Hurricane, economic collapse, earthquake, civil unrest, whatever it is. As a single person, prepping has been a pretty simple concept to undertake. Know what my needs are and act on them. Simple. I want a months worth of food, I buy it. […]
My Food Storage is Changing, an update on Apartment Prepping…
As my time prepping matures, and living in an apartment, I am also finding that my prepping is starting to morph a bit. As I prep for food, most specifically, I find that cans of food are becoming cumbersome. Specifically, soups, tunas, canned chicken (which is a personal favorite of mine), etc. I also find […]
11 Years Later
There is not much to say today. Very simply, my thoughts go out to the families and victims of the 9/11 tragedy 11 years ago today. I don’t really have much more than that.
