Finding the perfect bug-out location is something that excites every prepper. The best locations are in a remote area that has an abundance of animals, food, and trees. It’s the place where you can hide out and thrive in nature. We’re about to share a cool video from East Coast Prepper. In his video, he…

The advantages of tiny homes or cabins are obvious. They are less expensive, heat and cool easier, and because they are so small all of your “stuff” can be dispensed with. After all, you are living for outside not the grandeur and amenities of inside. Still, the inside of your new home can be nice too…

Many preppers have decided to bug-in rather than bug-out and, believe us, that is just fine. You are comfortable with your home, how you have prepped for the grid going down, and we see no fault in your decision. Still, if you have the land, know exactly where it is you want to live, and…

  The very idea that crime, a mob mentality, poverty, and homelessness can be remedy is a vision of the future we can certainly get behind. Just picture a society where there is a job for everyone, we can all drink clean water and eat mouth-watering foods, and spend much needed time with our families…

In extreme climate or weather conditions, you have about three hours to find yourself shelter before you start greatly reducing your ability to cope with your surroundings. We normally think of cold weather or climate being the danger and in extreme conditions it is, but the desert or a hot, arid environment can pose just…

Think about ambitious you wanting to take a hike. It’s colder out there but you are a good hiker and know the trail so just load up that backpack and start your walk. All is well and good until things begin to grow unfamiliar! Somewhere along the line, you manage to get lost. Yeah, we…

  There are not many of us who do not have dreams of owning their own parcel of land, out in the wilderness. It’s somewhere we can build a bug-out home, a shelter away from the maddening crowds and chaos of a SHTF scenario, when the time comes. Sadly, not everyone can afford such pieces…

Back in the late 1960s, there was a big time “earth movement”, mostly from the “hippie” class that wanted man to get back to nature. Mike Oehler, from Idaho, was a part of that culture and felt wholeheartedly that living underground was the way to go. As a matter of fact, for thirty years he…

If there was one skill all survivalists and outdoor enthusiasts should learn it is about shelter building. We’re not talking about temporary shelters made from everyday items either, we’re talking about structures made from wood. That’s why we are sharing a cool video from Metaspencer, where he shows us how to build a small wood…

We have discussed whether or not it is worth it to build an underground bunker as well as what materials you should (or should not) use. To be sure, in some scenarios, if cost is not an issue, an underground bunker could come in handy, especially if the survival scenario you face is truly a…

  We’ve been hearing about “earth houses” or Earthships for years, have even written about them here in these pages in the past. We’ve admired them, the environmental thinking behind them, but only just recently realized how advanced and significant Eathships have become. The Earthships from the 1970s, which were a great idea, using all…

If you’re an avid or frequent camper, chances are you may have had your campsite rained on at least one time. You may not be able to predict or prevent the weather from raining on your parade, but you can find ways to protect your campsite and tent from the water. Well, luckily for you…

  There is an interesting paradox out there at this moment. Some individuals are pleased with the new leadership in the USA, satisfied that the old “do nothing” and “let’s protest/riot without consequences” regime is now over. Then there are those who feel the “Let there be no walls” contingent have it right and their…

RV living provides a sustainable and fun way to explore the country, but that doesn’t mean it’s always sunshine and rainbows. If you’re traveling through or staying in areas that get cold during the winter, you may find yourself looking for new ways to keep warm. Fortunately, we got a video from Carolyn’s RV Life…
