Do You Have Bug In Plans For The Workplace?

Have any of you thought about having to bug in at your workplace.  Most of the time I think about bugging out with my Get Home Bag and don’t really think too much about what might happen if I have to stay in an office for a few days, or longer.  A few days ago, […]

Build Process Into Your Preparedness

So, yesterday, on The Survival Mom’s blog, she had a post on “What SurvivalMom Can Learn from Starbucks” about survival or prepping.  I read it with interest, because I try to think outside the box when it comes to my prepping and other areas in my life.  It helps me to justify what I am doing as […]

Prepping Is The Morally Right Thing To Do

You read it right.  And, frankly this is just a theory I am developing based on a conversation I had today with someone.  Prepping is morally, the right thing to do.  I say this because being prepared for ANY type of disaster no matter what you prep for will ease your decision to have to […]

Hypothetical SHTF if Traveling for Work

So, this morning when I woke up, I decided to write a post about what if the SHTF while I was traveling for work, and all I had time to do is grab gear from out of the hotel room and get the heck out of Dodge on foot.  I did a quick survey of […]

Unlikely Places to Find Survival Information Online

Here is a small list of unlikely places to find information on survival.  This is more fun I think, to most of the readers than informative, but when I started looking around for these I only found a few places online that I could draw from. Primer Magazine Online The Anatomy of an Emergency How […]

I Ordered My ARRL Ham Radio License Manual

I ordered my ARRL Ham Radio License Manual this week.   It was predicated on the Northern  NJ Meetup I attended a couple weeks ago, and another gentleman I met at the meetup some time ago that has his Ham license.  There is a lot of chatter in the survivalist world about being able to […]

Storing Your Bug Out Gear in the City

When I worked in NYC (post 9/11), I was always wondering how I was going to store any type of gear to get me across two rivers into NJ to my apartment, so I could bug in or bug out if the SHTF and the bridges and tunnels were shut down.  I decided on, but […]

Pedialyte For A Survival Situation

So, I was in South Florida on business last week.  I had to take clients out to dinner, and had the opportunity to see some friends.  Admittedly, I knew I was going to be consuming amounts of alcohol over the course of the week that were higher than normal for me.  In doing this I […]
