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 …

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 …

Two weeks ago a massive solar flare, one capable of causing widespread disaster and sending many of us back to the stone age, barely missed our planet. How many of you knew about this event before today? The earth barely missed taking a massive solar punch in the teeth two weeks ago, an “electromagnetic pulse” …

I love to shoot and I don’t mind practicing so that I can get better. I actually went shooting a few days ago and noticed my reloads were not as efficient as they should be. So before going out to the range again I’ve decided to slightly adjust a few techniques, go through several hundred …

First things first, if you haven’t seen the movie at least watch the trailer here. Without spoiling the movie for those who have yet to see it I’ll provide a brief synopsis. Massive outbreak of an unknown disease spreads throughout the world in days, utter chaos ensues as society collapses. Our sexy hero must find …

I hate running on a track of just about any sort, it’s simply mind numbing going in circles. When any amount of distance over a mile is involved I’d rather be on a trail or running on a predetermined course where the scenery (and elevation) changes. However standard running tracks which can be found at …

This is the first year that my family and I are attempting to grow anything edible, I say that because I did try to plant a money tree once but it failed to yield anything of value. As someone who claims to be preparing for the worst, and especially someone who blogs about prepping you …

We preach it all the time in the prepping community, you must store what you plan on eating and actually cycle through that food in order to keep things as fresh as possible. While not a huge deal for long term freeze dried items with a shelf life of 20-30 years, canned food items with …
