Resources and Commentary on Prepping in Suburbia

Hurricane Irene: A Preppers’ Postmortem
The storm has come and gone. Your experiences all depends on where you were at the time. Some places by me got hit hard (and are still without power as I write this). Others like my immediate area got away pretty cleanly (unless you were right on a canal). Even house…
