Man’s Best Friend? Or Worst Enemy?
An odd occurrence happened to me this winter. The short version: Late one cold evening we heard an odd sound at the front door. Our dog started barking. I didn’t see anyone at the door. No one rang the bell. So finally I carefully cracked open the door and a head started to stick its […]
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 […]
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 […]

Interest in CCW Classes in NJ, NY, or PA? An Interview with Cameron Green
Cameron Green is a local instructor for personal protection. One of his services is CCW training for “non-resident” Florida and Utah CCW’s. I will be taking a Florida CCW course in the spring by Cameron. In the process of discussion, I asked him if he might care to be interviewed about why someone might want […]
Review of “Urban Survival Guide: Learn The Secrets Of Urban Survival To Keep You Alive After Man-Made Disasters, Natural Disasters, and Breakdowns In Civil Order”
There aren’t too many books I buy where you get the opportunity to sit down to read them, and they are exactly what I was looking for. However, in David Morris’s book “Urban Survival Guide: Learn The Secrets Of Urban Survival To Keep You Alive After Man-Made Disasters, Natural Disasters, and Breakdowns In Civil Order,” that is […]
