Take a walk around your house and ponder just how your life would change if T-SHTF. How many items would instantly become almost useless if there was no power, how many items would you no longer value if the daily routine ceased to exist? One thing is certain, if the big one happens you won’t …

You’ve all seen it on television, survival shows where the host fashions a bow/drill/fire board and within a few minutes has a nice raging fire to sleep next to. If it were only that easy. If you take one thing away from this article it should be this: There is a reason you should have …
