A Cold Winter in Urbania
It may not be the coldest winter on record but the winter of 2010/2011 sure felt like it was in the Northeast. And it is definitely one of the snowiest in living memory and on record. Pretty much every week since the beginning of the New Year has brought a snow storm. Fortunately the price […]

Criminals After the SHTF, or I’m Trying to Get Money for Food, the SHTF for Many Already
Not everyone is a hardened criminal. Not everyone will turn to crime when the SHTF. When people are desperate, they do desperate things when their back is against the wall. Being a former criminology major (a LONG time ago) one of the things I like to do is take the time to watch the crime […]
Seasonalize Your Preps
Each season has its own prepper challenges and difficulties. It is June so that means hurricane season on the gulf coast. Even if you don’t live in a hurricane-prone area, June is also a good time to refresh your preps so they are updated for both seasonal and shelf life variations. Specifically: -Water: You should […]
This is What We Are Up Against!

Disposing of Human Waste in the Suburbs During a SHTF
It’s summer here in the Northeast, and it is getting hot quickly. Honestly, I love it. It’s June, and in the mid 80’s and as I was watching a movie this evening on TV, it hit me. What happens if the power goes out. And, what if it stays off for a day or […]
