Wilderness Survival, Back Country Camping and Offgrid Living
I was listening to the Survivalist Prepper podcast the other day and he was interviewing Matthew Stein about the threat of an EMP. Here's the podcasts if you'd like to listen: EMP’s, CME’s and Nuclear Meltdown With Matthew Stein and EMP’s, CME’s and Nuclear Meltdown With Matthew Stein Part 2. Matt Stein has done a lot of...

In the not-so-distant past growing, processing, and storing vegetables and grains, raising animals, and hunting was how we survived. Sometimes we had to pick up a spear, sword, musket, or whatever we had for weapons at the time and fight off people who wanted our land and food, or to kill our families. A Brief...

Social media can be good for various things. You can connect with people who are interested in the same things you are, keep in touch with friends and family, or in my case take an informal poll of what people are prepping for. Here's what I posted to start the conversation: What's the most likely... Continue Reading →
I like to dream up various scenarios in my head about how SHTF might play out. Most of it has nothing to do with reality, but it’s fun to think about and if nothing else it gives me alternatives if anything really bad happens. Today I’m sitting in my Tipi (mid-September 2018) and... Continue Reading →

World leaders are rattling sabers at each other, discussion of a trade war has been in the media, the market routinely has 400 point swings, and... Continue Reading →
Why is that you spend so much time prepping? You stock food, water, guns and ammo, items to barter, first aid supplies, and some even store nails, boards, tools, and so on. You know that society could collapse at any moment, or that a solar flare could send us back to the stone age, or... Continue Reading →
In case you've been on vacation at the bottom of the ocean with no Internet connection, two ridiculously big storms recently ran over Puerto Rico like a steamroller. In the aftermath people are stuck without electricity - likely for months. In case you missed that let me say it again. They will be without electricity... Continue Reading →
In the last month we've seen three or four hurricanes come through and trash Texas, Florida, and a bunch of small islands including Puerto Rico in the Atlantic. And just for kicks Mother Nature threw in an Earthquake in Mexico. In case you haven't been paying attention you might want to start putting some canned... Continue Reading →
