This past weekend my wife and I organized our storage / preparendess area. We did this together so that we would both know where items of note where, instead of me just taking on the task and her having to dig for something in my absence. We have various storage items sorted by category on …

I am in the preliminary stages of building a preparedness community, assembling a contingent of like minded individuals / families which can trust each other when times get tough, be it a localized disaster or something greater. The reality of the situation is that no matter how much training or preps you have, a community …

I’ve written about bugging out in the past, it’s a popular concept with many relevant ties to everyday life and unfortunately it’s also a concept rooted in many prepper fantasies. Realistic bugouts happen quite frequently due to localized natural disasters, folks have to leave their home with very little notice hoping that it will be …

I finally got around to opening the gear box from SHTFClub.com and was pleasantly surprised at the contents contained within. Remember, this is a subscription program and there are three tiers: Basic Plan: $19.99/mo Pro Plan: $49.99 Elite Plan: $89.99 Originally I was a bit skeptical because after all, why would I pay to …

If you are like me you’ve spent countless cumulative hours in various big box stores, outdoor stores, dollar stores and even at swap meets looking for useful or even just cool preparedness items. It can get to a point where you are once again standing in front of that vending machine in the break room, …

On the surface things seem to be moving along rather swimmingly. The story line goes something like: improving economy / Dow trends / more jobs / less National Debt / and just a general feeling that things are going better, whatever that means. I for one can appreciate that gasoline is not $4/gallon but …

What are you preparing for and how do you prioritize accordingly? There are some very real threats out but all of us are limited on time and resources. Even the independently wealthy prepper with all the time and money in the world could not prepare for and mitigate risk for every potential disaster which exists …

I sit and type this with a cool mountain breeze coming through the open door. Only the sound of the keys clicking and birds chirping, along with the wind pushing the trees around ever so gently. If I take a moment to glance up from the keyboard, as far as the eye can see and …

I recently spent a few days out in the backcountry wilderness living out of my bag, miles away from the nearest town and long out of cell phone range. It was myself and my dog hiking a few miles a day at over 10,000 feet in elevation, getting in touch with nature and evaluating some …

Home is where the heart is and for most of us where our preparedness stash is. Should some localized or regional disaster (or worse) take place I’d like to think we would feel better about addressing that situation surrounded by what is familiar to us (read: having loads of preps and self sustaining infrastructure in …

By: JM @ Sole Labz Smart prepper’s guide to choosing the best tactical boots Navy Seals have a saying: “There are two ways of doing things, the right way, and again”. Smart preppers know, however, that SHTF scenarios leave no room for do-overs. Your top sidekick in all-hell-broke-loose scenarios is a good pair of tactical …

It’s been a while since I’ve posted but thought to come back strong with some 2016 predictions. Let me know what you think! 1- There will be no economic collapse. The stock market will not crash, at least not in 2016. The funny thing is that I once commented on a very popular blog which …

Full Disclosure, I’m typing this out while Journey is playing in the background: Don’t Stop Believing. Had to get that out of the way for the old heads in the room but it’s all good. “Strangers….waiting…” So tonight I had the joy of cleaning all of the guns I shot this past weekend, I emphasize …

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 …
