Just because you’re a survivalist doesn’t mean you’re safe from dangerous creatures while you’re bugging out. Venomous snakes can be found just about anywhere, even in your backyard. In fact, when my dad was gardening several years ago when I was a little girl, he got bit by a rattlesnake. Snakes are prone to the area…

If a person does, thinks, or says any of these things then they are without a doubt officially a prepper! As preppers, there are certain things we all do to help us be the most prepared we can be for when SHTF. For example, we probably have several rooms in our house just for food…

Now, this is our kind of topic. Surviving on the cheap! Yes, we know the saying about how if you buy cheap you get cheap but if you are a skilled survivor you know that free and disposable are not bad words. Oh yes, you do want the better-made products when it comes to serious survival; something…

Preparing for the SHTF moment is stressful enough on its own. You’ve got stores of food and supplies to maintain, bug out shelters to build, and techniques to master before it all goes down. But add to the mix a partner that doesn’t necessarily see the point in all of this “extra” work? That makes…

Getting snowed in might sound cozy and nostalgic to some. Maybe you even wished it would happen as a child! Think about it: having a snow day and being home from school, spending the afternoon warm by the fire with your family, or outside trudging through the snow to sled or make a snowman. Maybe…

We do not want to be an alarmist but when the SHTF there will be desperate people out there. While your neighbors and good friends may remain that way, there will be others who will come in, deciding what is yours is theirs, and they will not hesitate in trying to take it from you.…

Who knows when those “old fashion” survival tips were created? Was it in our father’s, our father’s father, or even Great-Great Grand-Daddy’s youth? The point is what was once old is now new again – especially for a prepper. During this time, when homesteaders, survivalists, and preppers are waiting for the grid to go down,…

It is one of those old treasures that you know is there and, although you haven’t been there for a couple of years, you are dying to see how the old place looks! In the case of the structure we are visiting in the video over on the next page, it is intriguing and somewhat…

Star Trek has been at the center of pop culture for decades. It started with the original series, which developed into movies with the original cast, then became “the next generation” – then it came back to its roots. We have been introduced to a new cast but with young actors taking over the roles…

Think about the best possible scenario for surviving when doomsday arrives. In your plan, you’d likely include your loved ones and keeping everyone out of harm’s way. Your plan may also include stocking up on the best survival supplies and having a comfortable shelter away from the prying eyes of others. If you think you’ve…

The very idea of a high altitude EMP, an electromagnetic pulse, is enough to make a calm person shiver inside their boots! It is a man-made pulse of energy that will, in theory, destroy the electronics infrastructure within its sightline! In other words, no lights, laptops, clocks, TVs, radios – anything that runs on electricity!…

Building impressive items by yourself, from simple components, is the embodiment of being self-sufficient, a homesteader, and a survivor! It does not have to be complicated. RE: Building a log cabin. Your efforts can be minuscule in comparison, perhaps developing your own woodland pencil! As long as it works and has a purpose — it is inspiring!…

It matters not where you plan to bug out or spend time in the woods, survival to many means it’s vital you have an excellent skill set and tools that’ll be useful when you must complete a variety of tasks. Owning a variety of tools is ideal, but if you’re bugging out in the wilderness…

Even as children we love the idea of being an Indiana Jones type. Imagine walking into the middle of a jungle or forest, finding a hidden bunker, and breaking it down to explore further?
