Accelerating the Purchase of Preps

Ideally, you replace one can of something with two cans of that same something when you use it and you are rotating your preps.  Lately, I have been a bit lazy thinking I have had enough, but I really do not, and if you read Friday’s post, clearly my head is spinning about what to […]

Thinking About More Preps, Goals, Milestones, and Disaster

It’s a fantastic evening here in NJ, with the exception of my allergies kicking up, which reminds me. Time to stock up a few seasons worth of Zyrtec or some other anti-hystimine.  As long as they as stored correctly, they should last for several years without worrying they go bad.  I think it is going […]

The High Level Plan to Preparedness

Well, after last evening’s interview with Doctor Prepper, I thought I would write up a few thoughts on planning for your preparedness goals.  This will probably appeal to novice preppers, but it got me thinking about a few points of discussion around how to get the ball rolling and keep your head on straight at the same […]

I Just Took Over The NJ Preparedness Meetup Group

While it may not make a difference to many of you, our meeting group was in danger of dying a quick death.  It also looks like I am getting rather ambitious, and it may not be for the best.  I can barely find time to write this blog anymore, and thank goodness for the few […]

Interest in CCW Classes in NJ, NY, or PA? An Interview with Cameron Green

Cameron Green is a local  instructor for personal protection. One of his services is CCW training for “non-resident” Florida and Utah CCW’s.  I will be taking a Florida CCW course in the spring by Cameron.  In the process of discussion, I asked him if he might care to be interviewed about why someone might want […]

‘Suburban’s” Take on Sharing Your Gear, Supplies, and Food With Others

Over the past couple of weeks a reader and someone I correspond with via email wrote a couple of posts for the blog that have had some good comments associated with them regarding ethics and gear.  You can find them here if you have not read them: The Case for Non-lethal Defense Share and Share […]

Share and Share Alike? or The Case For Non-Lethal Defense “Part 2”

This is a second article by the same reader who asked not to be identified. During my last article I discussed various scenarios for using non-lethal defenses. While the responses were great, they did focus on an ancillary aspect of the article I didn’t intend to be the focus of discussion. In that article I […]

The Case For Non-Lethal Defense

Guest Post by a reader who wishes to remain anonymous. You can’t get away from it. Prepping/survival blogs, websites, books, videos etc. all inevitable (and sometimes initially too) discuss the need for a defense strategy in the face of a SHTF event leading to living (at least temporarily) in a WROL environment. That form of […]
