A Look Back At a Katrina Experience… An Expereinced Prepper Tells All
It should be noted, that this was sent to me by a friend yesterday. I did not write this, and neither did he, rather it comes from a prepper who evacuated LA and posted this story in a forum (www.zombiehunters.org). It is a chronicle of what worked for him and his family and what did not in […]
A Cold Winter in Urbania
It may not be the coldest winter on record but the winter of 2010/2011 sure felt like it was in the Northeast. And it is definitely one of the snowiest in living memory and on record. Pretty much every week since the beginning of the New Year has brought a snow storm. Fortunately the price […]
You’re Completely Unprepared, Using What You’ve Got.
This post is a result of the recent survey that I just took based on one of the comments that was left… I thought it might be an interesting one to start with, since for newbies, it might help them to use what they have immediately if they had to… Scenario. You live in the […]
EDC Bag Reconfiguration
When I first began prepping, I put a tactical messenger bag on my Amazon Christmas list so that I could carry “stuff” around to be a “survivalist” if the “SHTF”. I am putting those words in quotation, because I had no idea at the time what stuff I needed to face a crisis situation. With […]
Northern NJ After Heavy Rains All Night, a Hard Bug Out Situation
Sunday morning I got up a little early, brewed my pot of coffee, showered, and out the door I went to northwestern NJ to visit a friend I have not seen in several months. We were heading to PA to pick up some additional ammo. My buddy wanted to pay less than the cost of […]
Accelerating the Purchase of Preps
Ideally, you replace one can of something with two cans of that same something when you use it and you are rotating your preps. Lately, I have been a bit lazy thinking I have had enough, but I really do not, and if you read Friday’s post, clearly my head is spinning about what to […]
Prepper Jim’s Goals
I previously wrote that the beginning of any prepping plan is goals. That is, what is it you are actually trying to accomplish? In other words, you must have SMART goals. SMART stands for Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic and Time Bound. So, at the beginning of 2011, I sat down and really thought about what […]
Tune into Doctor Prepper Radio Monday, April 4th
Well, looks like I will be on Doctor Prepper Radio again Monday evening, April 4th. Tune in and listen to Doctor Prepper and I talk about suburban and urban prepping. There’s not going to be an agenda or format, I think, but more just bantering about our thoughts back and forth for an hour about […]
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 […]
I Just Took Over The NJ Preparedness Meetup Group
While it may not make a difference to many of you, our meeting group was in danger of dying a quick death. It also looks like I am getting rather ambitious, and it may not be for the best. I can barely find time to write this blog anymore, and thank goodness for the few […]
