Teamwork for Suburban and Urban Survival – Part One
Is it inevitable; A disaster of catastrophic proportion that changes everyone’s living situation going forward for good? Is living post disaster just an unforeseen reality that many of us have not experienced yet? Look at Haiti just over a year ago. Look at Australia with flooding that has destroyed homes and lives. One thing is […]
Ashton Kutcher On It Hitting the Fan
This has been floating around the blogsphere the past day or two. Interestingly enough he too is worried about the proverbial SHTF scenario. Check out the article here: http://huff.to/i1tVXd Let me know what you think.
Prepping For A Personal SHTF
Today I want to take the time to talk a little about something I have not. The title says it all, I think, with the exception of defining what a “Personal SHTF” is because, well, it’s personal. In today’s economy, I think that most people might define a personal SHTF as a job loss. it […]
A Safe Room For Your Home
I am not really sure this is going to apply to those of us who live in apartments. However, I may touch on that in this post. Much of what we discuss, or I write, rather, revolves around bugging out. As mentioned in a previous post, I was going to consider situations in the suburbs […]
Your Home Crisis Guidebook for a Survival Situation or a SHTF
Family. They say family is one of the most important things in life. If it is just you and the wife or you and the husband, they are family. If you have kids, and your kids have kids, now that’s a family, and no doubt they are very important to you. If you are reading […]
Another Place To Consider for Preps or Last Minute Preps
It’s Sunday morning, or it was Sunday morning, I should say. I was sitting at Starbucks for the first time in a couple of months, sipping on a coffee trying to read a book, when a couple of older women sat down next to me, and started yapping and gossiping, being, frankly loud and obnoxious. […]
A Friend Has Lost Everything, Checked Into a Men’s Shelter…
This post is very close to my heart… It pains me to write it, as it affects a friend of mine directly, that refuses help, as I will illustrate. I have a friend I got a call from this week. He has lost his job, his apartment, much of his clothing, his parents (family) lives […]
What Are We Talking Here, Man Made Disasters or Natural Disasters?
Well, while I am semi watching a little TV this evening, I figured I would bring up a topic that I seldom discuss. Natural disasters. In the past couple years, natural disasters have been front and center to everyone, partially due to how swiftly the media can get data on situations and report on it. […]
Know Nothing? Buy a Book…
It’s no secret that most people in the suburbs here in NJ get out of bed at 5:00 / 5:30 a.m., shower, and saunter their way to the train, bus, or car to commute their way to work every day. Most days it can take 30 – 120 minutes depending on the traffic here to […]
The Police Are Not Responding to 44 Different Crimes.
This is just crazy. Protect and Serve. That is the police motto, almost all over the world. Admittedly, much of my family is in law enforcement; federal, state, and local. I have friends that are federal, state, and local law enforcement as well. I have the utmost respect for them. However, when a city announces […]
