2011 Urban Farming in Review
2011 was a pretty good year farming wise at home. For an urban (I do consider myself urban) backyard container farm we did pretty good. And more importantly, we learned a lot to apply for next year. Starting out we added several new containers to our farm. I was surprised my wife went along with […]
What’s Missing in Your Food Storage
A very short post today… So, I took it upon myself to to re-arrange my food storage last night, repack some of it, consolidate some of it, and just make it a bit more organized. Honestly, it is still not where I want it. However, I needed to make some space since I now have […]
It’s All About the Jobs
I read this article and became really concerned, frightened even. The figures from payroll taxes reported to the Social Security Administration on jobs and pay are, in a word, awful. Even more alarming is this graph with the title “Fewer Jobs, Less Pay”: http://www.flickr.com/photos/61336135@N06/6273282342/ And from the rest of the article: More significantly, the number of people […]
The Time Is Now, and It’s Not Too Late
I’m sitting in another damn airport. Not bitching, however, just another damn airport. I have to rant a bit. The time is now. The time is now if you are not a prepper to prep. The conversations I have had with friends who are in the real world (Middle America) verifies that now is the […]

Updated February 24th, 2023 Updated: 3/16/2014: I am adding links to the products so you do not have […]
Prepper or Consumer Poser? That is the Question.
It’s been a rough couple of weeks with work. In fact, work has become increasingly busy. It was the end of the quarter and a race to get customer contracts closed up, signatures, etc. For those that don’t know, I work for a software company in sales. It can be very high stress, even more […]
Prepping on Twenty Five Dollars a Week, Increasing Your Budget Slightly, Increases Preps Exponentially
I am going to try to be realistic here. There are posts all over the Web on preppers sites about starting your prepping for $5.00 a week. But what does $5.00 really buy these days. In my case $5.00 can buy: – 3 – 4 cans of soup, – 3 – 4 cans of tuna, […]
“The only thing we have to fear, is…
It appears that fear is the topic of the past few weeks. And to be frank, this is probably the most important topic to face a prepper. There are several reasons: If you can make someone afraid, you can manipulate and control them. Fear is a natural part of our survival mechanism. Denying this part […]
Pet Prepping
Awhile ago, I blogged that I was really having a difficult time prepping for my pets (one dog and two cats). This can be a major issue, especially if you have to go and quickly. This has made me think heavily about how I would ensure the survival of my pets in a SHTF event. […]
