The SuburbanPrepper Talks EMP
I think about this from time to time. An EMP attack that would render my car and just about anything electronic useless. 100+ miles from my Bug Out Location, and final rendezvous point, it would take me five to 10 days to hoof it on foot to my destination. With a bike, maybe faster, but my EDC […]
DIY – Make a Simple Cardboard Box Solar Oven

Prepping can be expensive. People like to bite off more than they can chew. I did it. I felt I needed everything “now.” Food, gear, etc. When I finally settled into becoming a prepper I slowed down, took inventory of what I had, and realized where the holes are. There are still holes. I still […]

Tom Brown’s “Guide to City and Suburban Survival”
I am going to preface this post by saying, that this book is for those of us/you that know nothing about nothing. It is for the suburban and urban dweller that plugs stuff in, and thinks that is how electricity works, or the person that turns on a faucet, and thinks that that is the […]
