Everyone has a routine and I’m no different, yet what sets me apart from the mass populace is that my routine incorporates tasks that most preppers will be able to relate to. Others who are not in the prep community might look at this list and think I’m a nutcase or pretty extreme but when …

All- I received this email from KD and wanted to share my thoughts. See below in red and feel free to add your comments and advice in the comment section! **************** Hello – I appreciate your website re: EMP (which I just became aware of).

It’s easy to buy stuff and shove it in the basement and quite honestly that’s what most of us probably do. What happens when a few years pass and it becomes difficult to remember what exactly you have on hand though? Is there a need to buy more or are you good to go, this …

Pop Quiz sucker. You and the wife are coming home from a nice elegant dinner at Waffle House, after all it was your anniversary so spare no expense. You pull into your driveway and see that all of the lights are off (didn’t you leave a few on?) and the side door to your garage …

Buying stuff online from Amazon.com is easy. You buy it, wait until it arrives at your door and shuttle it down to the basement until SHTF happens (or not). Printing checklists out from your work computer (does your boss know you are using company paper?) is easy. You print off the good stuff with the …

Teaching, it’s harder than one might think. So YOU can shoot and are sexy when doing it (sick reloads for the win!), but can you take someone who has never held a gun before and actually help to make them a proficient shooter? Can you not only get someone to follow your lead but show …

First we need to define what remote is. Am I attempting to describe a place in the middle of the Alaskan tundra which requires an aircraft to gain access to? No I’m not quite that hardcore, however this isn’t your cabin posted up 1/2 mile off of the go kart / candy shops / ma …

By Philip. In 2012, the National Geographic Channel has partnered with Kelton Research and conducted a survey which gauged Americans’ preparedness level and mindset for the potential end of the world scenario. Out of the 1,007 men and women who answered the survey, it revealed that 85 percent of the nation is unprepared and only …

I’ve been incredibly busy lately. The type of busy that involves being outside for 10 to 12 hours per day in very bad weather, wet / cold / hungry and generally wishing I was somewhere else. For those of you that have been there before you know exactly the progression I’m writing about. Damn it’s …

Let’s see, in the last week or so I have: – Cycled both of my generators and run several tools / appliances off of them. – Eaten food from my storage at least 3 times per week. – Sharpened my Ax with a file and split wood. – Fired up my propane heaters and used …

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 …

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 …

As I sit here and type I’m reflecting on last night’s festivities, which culminated in me sleeping in a half lit parking lot (in my sleeping bag next to my vehicle) somewhere in WV. I bedded down next to a run down motel and Adult video store, hoping that some stranger didn’t attempt to stab …

By Luke. When it comes to self-reliance and being able to adapt and change to any given situation, utilizing a single item for multiple purposes will separate you from the other denizens of society. You’ll need to be able to secure your home, family, and valuable resources. One of the most valuable items when it …

You’ve got the guns, the ammo, the first aid equipment, the food, gardening supplies, library of how to books, various tools and a lifted 4×4 with steel bumpers. All great things to have but what about some of the often overlooked preps that could be a serious problem if you don’t have them (or something …
