When it comes to prepping we know the kinds of people we like to hang out with. They understand us and we know where they are coming from. There is a certain amount of secrecy between preppers because we know there has to be. When the SHTF we will not be able to trust many…

Warning: If watching two snakes engage in a pretty amazing but gruesome death match makes you squeamish, this is not the post for you. Also, if you ever do observe this type of event, particularly if one of the animals is a rattlesnake, please use common sense and make sure you do not become a…

Faraday cages are one way of ensuring your electronic devices work should we ever be subjected to an Electromagnetic Pulse. The concept of a Faraday Cage is to provide an enclave of metal or metal mesh to block the electric fields created by a solar event or by a manmade pulse event, such as a…

It is something many a prepper has thought about more than once. You are away from home when suddenly the SHTF! You do not have a great many if any of your survival supplies with you. After all, who knew it would happen while you and the family were visiting Disneyland?! And hey, dragging your…

When a person gets hungry, it’s hard for them to think clearly and when they’re starving it’s easy to become desperate. This is especially the case if they’re starving in the wilderness unsure of when food will become available again. To a person who is starving eating a green plan that looks somewhat familiar may…

  We have talked about electromagnetic pulses (EMPs) before and the dangers we face because of them. Cars, airplanes, pretty much anything with wheels, with the exception of bicycles, will become obsolete. That is, of course, unless someone comes up with a treatment or solution to the EMP dilemma! Meanwhile, you will need some form…

A prepper can be as prepared as all get out but when it comes time for the SHTF, if he is not careful, all that preparation will fall apart. Especially if a mob mentality approaches and takes over. Safeguards need to be established! We’ve said it more than once. Do not advertise that you are…

We can and should look to past cultures to learn more about their ways of life. There is so much we can learn about lifestyles of the past, especially in regards to survival techniques. How did people create safe and comfortable homes with minimal supplies? How were they able to locate and hunt fresh food?…

Just about everywhere one can wonder there is a road that carries with it a degree of mystique, sense of danger or impending dread. Often, whatever that road is known for becomes exacerbated and the stuff of legends with each re-affirming occurrence. Weird weather, awful surface conditions, environmental hazards, strange occurrences, unexplained accidents, a sense…

  We wonder, fifty or one hundred years from now, will the things we believe in – the sayings we have uttered time and again – be thought of as a sort of indulgent humor? Think about it. Our ancestors have said a lot of things, put them into print, and we now look at a great…

In the aftermath of a survival situation – especially a drastic situation, certain realities will become evident very quickly. One of those is that people will have sex. In fact, in a survival setting, sex will likely be prevalent – even more so than in normal life. This is because it is at the most…
