I read so many articles on dealing with SHTF scenarios. Everything from bugging out, what gear to have, how to get home, what to eat, etc. But I see very little on what people can do with their down time during long-term grid down situations. Trust me, after a few...
I have deliberately tried to stay away from politics on this site. I have said many times that I believe preparedness should transcend political, religious, and ideological beliefs.

When it comes to being prepared, you will find so many great articles on things like bugging out, food and water storage, 72 hour kits, etc. All of it is very pertinent information. But often times, I see the little, everyday things that people can do to be more prepared...
When it comes to prepper equipment, the absolute most important tool every prepper owns is the one between their ears!
