Prepping For Different Climates

You never know when the shit is going to hit the fan (I don’t usually swear, but I am feeling saucy today).  According to Murphy’s Law, disaster will strike at the worst possible moment.  Included in that is extreme temperatures or weather conditions.  I live in a climate that is basically mild.  No snow during [...]

For the Survival Gamers Out There

There really isn’t much for us survivalist/prepper/gamer types.  That is, until now!  Check out Fallout 3 from Bethesda, the guys that did the hugely successful role playing game Oblivion.  (If you are not a gamer then you can stop reading now and go back to reloading ammo, surfing the net anonymously or whatever we normally [...]

From Safe to Armed in 60 Seconds

Many of us have pretty massive arsenals.  Shotguns, rifles and pistols.  I get excited just thinking about it!  The question you have to ask yourself is how fast can I go from safe to armed?  In my opinion if the SHTF and things go bad and the violence is at your door you need to [...]

Building A Personal Gold Reserve

Have you ever noticed that the world’s nations have gold reserves?   Why, because they aren’t stupid and they know that their currency is only as good as the faith that people put it in.  The faith that the dollar you just took for digging a ditch will be accepted at the grocery store for food [...]

Get some spices on hand for your food supplies.  I like emergency essentials long term storage spices.  I am a big fan of salt and garlic as a way to “spice” up that storage food.  Also, [...]

The Prepper’s Dilemma

An interesting issue came up while a reader and I were discussing the CERT program.  In my opinion it is a serious dilemma that all preppers face.  Do we help others in times of disaster/need or isolate ourselves offering no help in order to prolong our survival?  If you help your neighbors you are going [...]

They May Be Closer Than You Think

One of the toughest aspects of assembling a survival or prep group is how we find others like us without broadcasting our beliefs to all.  Many of us, including myself, are hesitant to let others know about our prepping activities because we are content living our normal lives and don’t need any unwanted attention.  The [...]

Suburban Preppers Rule!

Although the movement was started by survivalist/isolationist types, the suburban preppers have taken over in terms of numbers and strategy.  Over at survivalistnews.com, you can check the stats yourself.  HALF of those surveyed are suburban preppers.  Although it is a relatively small sample at 140 it is large enough to show that suburban dwellers are [...]

Back in the Action!

Loyal Readers, I am proud to say that after a long absence I am back and will be doing my best to post daily.
As many of you know I took the last few months to take the California Bar exam and then a nice week long vacation in Hawaii.  I am not sad to be [...]
