Merry Christmas and Thank You
Thank you for helping me achieve some of my 2010 goals of becoming a more fluent prepper, student, and teacher. Thank you for taking the time out of your day to read what I have to say. It still amazes me. So, a very Merry Christmas to everyone celebrating it out there, and a huge thank […]
New Job
So, I have started a new job this week, and finding that my personal time is cut short due to ramping up and getting settled, etc. You might find that there are fewer than normal posts this week… Posts that are coming, however are: – Mindset of the Urban and Suburban Survivalist – Post SHTF, […]

Economically Challenged Television
While flipping though the channels this evening, I came across a show called “Downsized,” and ironically to me, it was on the We channel. So here is what the show is about; The Bruce family is strapped for cash and $300 short on rent. Fearing eviction, they spring into action. Dad Todd tries to collect on […]
My “Get Home Bag” Replacement Contents.
Well, as many of you know, about a week ago or so my “Get Home Bag” from my truck was stolen from the parking lot where I had been parking my car for two plus years. In hind sight, I think it was my fault for assuming that there was ample security. Rather, I became […]

The Best, Longest, Stressful Week I Have Had In A Long Time
This is going to have nothing to do with survivalism, suburban survival, or urban survival, unless you are talking about money, and we might. I am in sales, started a new job about 16 months ago, and my income basically relies on much of what I sell. To say the company I work for is […]

Traveling This Week for Work

A Fine From the TSA… I Should Have Expected It…
Remember that little post I wrote a month or so ago about my morning at Newark Airport? Well about 30 days ago, I get a letter in the mail from the TSA. What did it say you might ask? Well, they imposed a $250.00 civil penalty against me. I am assuming this paid for the […]
