The Bug Out Trailer or The Camping Trailer

Without going into great detail, I have looked at these before with great interest, primarily because I drive an SUV. There are a couple different manufacturers of “survival trailers.” that would allow you to […]

The Food I Buy Is Changing, a Lot.
It is evident. My last few trips to the grocery store have yielded what I believe what others have been talking about now for some time. But to me it is visually noticeable. I know this because I am a creature of habit. Being a single guy, I generally purchase the same things over and […]
It’s the Small Stuff
When thrust into a survival situation, it is often the small things that make the difference between success (survival) and failure (death). Often, having a sense of comfort makes all the difference in your mental attitude. With so many prepper words devoted to guns, knives and bags, I started to think of some small things […]
Would YOU be a shelter? (Remembering Anne Frank)
Everyone loves a scapegoat. Throughout history whenever something terrible happens either for reasons too complex for the common person to grasp or just the culmination of many other events people as a whole try to seek out someone, some group of people, to blame for the problem. Rarely do they see themselves as a cause […]
Weekend Camping Trip, and a Few New Pieces of Gear
This weekend was my first real weekend camping trip of the season. It’s primarily my go-to place for camping in the summer. It also may/could function as a secondary Bug Out location. But more on that another time, and to my point, there was a LOT of work to do when we got there. The […]

A Look Back At a Katrina Experience… An Expereinced Prepper Tells All
It should be noted, that this was sent to me by a friend yesterday. I did not write this, and neither did he, rather it comes from a prepper who evacuated LA and posted this story in a forum (www.zombiehunters.org). It is a chronicle of what worked for him and his family and what did not in […]
Escaping From New York City. Is It Really a Viable Concept in a SHTF?
Live in New York City? Visiting NYC this summer? Work in New York City? Going into the City for dinner, show, happy hour, etc.?Guess what, today we explore ways to get out of the city in the event of a SHTF, prior to roadblocks, martial law, tunnels being closed, etc. Understand that if the SHTF […]
Prepper Fitness
In a survival forum, it was noted that: “Remember the first rules from Zombieland. No, not “double tap.” Cardio. If you’re a couch potato you need to fix this right now.” Yes, I am a former athlete that has been a couch potato for too long. I am also above 40 and overweight. But this […]
