Resources and Commentary on Prepping in Suburbia
After a year or so of the site being down, we’re slowly relaunching it with all the old content, and writing new content. It’s been well over a year since I’ve done any prepping, and recently started again. Updates over the last 18 months are, Ms. Prepper is now Mrs. Prepper, and there’s the addition of Baby Prepper, too… I feel like it’s all new again, and I’m learning from scratch…
Black Swans, Why We Prepare
A few years ago I read a book called The Black Swan, by Nassim Taleb. While the book is primarily applicable to the financial crisis (it came out before the credit crisis hit and accurately predicted the issues), it also applies to low probability, high impact events…

CCW Class with GAPPNJ and Cameron Green
I arrived early to the location where GAPP was holding the Utah and Florida CCW course, or at least I thought I was going to be early. It was 30 minutes before the class was to begin, and there were already a half dozen people waiting outside the front door to gain…
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…
The Business of Survival, by an Anonymous Reader
Maybe it’s a case of life imitating art. Maybe it’s just companies taking advantage of a public trend. Or, maybe it really is a wave of fear sweeping the nation. Whatever “it” is ‘survival’ today is becoming a big business! The situation isn’t merely the usual well…
Blog Down and Explaination
I received several emails over the past day asking why the blog was down… Well, it seems the Suburban Survival Blog was under what is called a Denial of Service attack or something not unlike that, slowing the server down dramatically. Unfortunately, we are not…
