20 Simple Steps to Basic Preparedness from Jack at The Survival Podcast

Just listening to this now while I bang out some emails for work.  A couple days ago, Jack Spirko at The Survival Podcast published a podcast about the “20 Simple Steps to Basic Preparedness.”  So far pretty good, and I am learning a few things. Here is the content of the Podcast: Step one – […]

4 x 32 Scope For My Henry AR-7

The Henry AR-7 comes with a small rail on top of the receiver for a scope.  As I am not thrilled with the rear peep site, I have had this on my list to purchase for about a month or two.   This past weekend, I spent a few dollars on a 4 x 32 […]

Another Post on EMP Attack

I will probably write about EMP attacks more than other types of attacks.  The reason is that I think that this is one of the most viable attacks from a foreign power that we could see in the future.  I also think that it is one of the most dangerous attacks that we could see […]

Looking Forward to The Colony

So the new season of “The Colony” starts tonight on the Discovery Channel.  Last season there was a lot of chatter about The Colony in the survivalist circles and in the forums.  Personally, I liked it.  It was innovative, new, and from my perspective (suburban and urban survival) about as accurate as you could get […]

The iPad as a Modern Survival Device

Huh?  The iPad as a Modern Survival Device?  Really?  Yup.  Let me explain a little.  First, I’m in the Internet business.  Not going to get into a lot of that now, but I want to give you some perspective on why I say that.  Second, I am a gadget guy.  I suppose that is typical. […]

SuburbanSurvivalBlog.com Now on Amazon Kindle Store

Okay, I thought this was pretty cool… The staging.suburbansurvivalblog.com/ is now in the Amazon Kindle Store.  Click the link to get it… The downside is that Amazon charges a minimum of 1.99 per month for it… So, while I would love it if you download it to your Kindle, get it by RSS Feed for […]

What You (and I) Need To Know About Knives

There are many types of knives out there.  I have many.  Probably too many knives, but each one has a purpose, so when I go camping or hiking I choose the right one to go with.  I usually carry one or two knives pretty consistently.  In my travel EDC I carry a Mora.  If I have […]
