I’m assuming that by now you have seen the headline: Woman beheaded at Oklahoma Workplace. OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — A man fired from an Oklahoma food processing plant beheaded a woman with a knife and was attacking another worker when he was shot and wounded by a company official, police said Friday. Moore Police Sgt. …

Normally I wouldn’t dedicate an entire post to a book release but this one is special to me. The author, William H. Weber, contacted me a few months ago and asked if I would like to receive a beta copy of the book so that I could provide my input. I was honored to do …

Let’s keep it real here. I don’t want SHTF to happen anytime soon, I’m referring to TEOTWAWKI type SHTF. I like the comforts that modern life provides for myself and my family. I like having a job, recreation time, friends, freedom to do many of the things which we find enjoyable. I don’t fantasize about …

By Michael. It isn’t always important to have clean hands while camping. But it is very important to have clean hands while preparing food, eating, and after a bathroom break. When we are home, if we want to wash our hands, it’s easy to go to a sink and wash them. We usually have a …

I was recently at an auto parts store looking at gas siphons, they weren’t too bad but I figured there had to be an easier way. Of course, getting a mouth full of gasoline must be avoided too. I found this video on YouTube, it gets straight to the point and shows a clever way …

Remember when you started prepping? Maybe you made a list of things you wanted to buy, courses of action for how you would achieve a short or long term end state. Now it’s been 1, 3, 5, 10 years since you originally made that list and I have to ask: did things go exactly as …

All of this talk about blending in, being the gray man and maintaining an unassuming profile while out in public. I wonder how many of these gray man proponents roll around with NRA stickers, Glock stickers, personalized military or police license plates and other vehicle swag. Look I understand, someone is proud of their service …

Recently my friend made the 4 hour trek to come hang out with me for the weekend. We expended quite a bit a ammunition, talked about preps, 3-5 year plans and tipped back a few adult beverages. I found ironic that when the topic of current events came up, he was rather clueless. I brought …

A plan for water, arguably the most important prep, should be diversified. A one dimensional water plan (i.e. I’ll just grab water from the stream and boil it if necessary) is just asking for trouble. After all what if the water is contaminated and you cannot boil it? What if filtration devices may not be …

By Emily. When you first hear the word ‘prepper’ or ‘prepping’, the first thing that comes to mind is crazy, hoarder, nutjob, or those paranoid people who have a LOT of supplies of just about everything. What is a prepper? When you google prepper, a box appears defining a person who believes that an emergency …

Ah yes, the fantasy is alive and strong. SHTF occurs and we all grab our packs and head for the hills, this assuming our plan to hunker down is absolutely compromised and no other option is left. We’ll live like pioneers and carve out a life for ourselves while dodging the golden horde and various …

By Carlee You may think it can never happen to you. But all it takes is a quick look at the news to realize chances are good that at some point in the near future you will find yourself in some sort of emergency situation. It may be as localized as a house fire or …

Water is arguably the most important prep that any of us can stockpile. Not only should we have various ways to filter water and locations identified from which to collect water, we should have quite a few gallons of potable water on hand in long term (5 year) storage containers. That half used package of …

By Gale. As a determined and committed prepper, part of the battle is keeping off the grid and out of the eye of the government. Granted with the way the world works these days this can be extremely difficult, but still doable to a certain extent. For example, utilizing smart phones (according to whistleblower Edward …
