I want to talk about a situation I found myself in a few months ago, and decided it might be interesting for some of you. Here a while back, I took a 2 hour drive down to my son’s apartment. He was deployed (Air Force) in “the Sandbox” at the...
I was a full time, single father for many years. My son is currently serving our great nation in the Air Force. I could not be prouder of him. When he was growing up, one of the things I encouraged him to do was take preparedness seriously. Fortunately, he did....
Several years ago, I was helping my daughter and her fiancé move into their new home. By the time we pulled up into the yard with the last load of the day, it was dark. Of course Murphy’s Law was in effect, and I dropped my truck keys somewhere in...
Several weeks ago, Vont Lighting reached out to me to do a review. I said I’d love to, as I’m always excited to review new prepper/survival gear and equipment. For those of you who are not familiar with Vont, Vont was started several years ago as a bike headlight company....
A delusion is a mistaken belief held despite rational arguments to the contrary; a belief not centered in reality. Over the years, I have encountered many preppers, both in real life and online, who seemingly have some delusions when it comes to being prepared. I have talked about a few...
Should the day arrive that we experience a major, prolonged grid-down event, you may find yourself having to take extreme measures to ensure your safety. Be it executing your bug in plans, getting yourself out of danger by bugging out, or implementing your security plans, you may have to go...
Without wasting any time, the new Presidential regime is attempting to cram more gun control legislation through on the American people. Without getting into the politics of the situation, I believe that new draconian gun laws could be just around the corner. God forbid we have another school shooting, and...
Most preppers realize that should the day come where we experience a long-term, grid- down, SHTF scenario. At some point we may have to scavenge to find much needed supplies. No matter how large and plentiful our stock pile is, at some point we will need somethings we don’t have....
When I first began prepping, I only focused on certain aspects. I was already quite proficient skill wise with firearms, as they are apart of my career path. I also have a lot of experience at things like fire building. This was acquired from my years in Boy Scouts and...
Editor’s note: Over the past few weeks, I have been corresponding via email with a site regular “WolfBrother” about prepping books. Funny thing is, I have been compiling a list of all of the prepping books that I currently own, and was putting it into an article when we began...
I received an email yesterday from a gentleman. His premise got me to thinking. The gist of the letter was that this guy had put “preppers” into the crazy category. He said he had scoffed at the idea of stockpiling food, gear, weapons, etc. He said he labeled it “nonsense!”...
For many years, I have kept a fairly large stock of alkaline and lithium batteries. In all the common sizes of course. Everything from the little watch sizes all the way to D cell batteries, I have kept a decent stockpile. But over the past few years, I have found...
