Turning wild meat into clean, safe, usable food security Small game often gets treated like a backup plan in preparedness circles. People talk about rabbits, squirrels, grouse, ducks, and other small animals as though they are simply “there” when food runs short. But any experienced hunter, trapper, or homesteader knows better.

Turning Motivation Into Practical Preparedness There is a certain kind of energy that comes from spending several days around other preparedness-minded people. Whether it is a formal event, a camping weekend, a course, a workshop, or just time spent talking with people who understand the lifestyle, it can be both encouraging and overwhelming. You come…
After a long journey home from Preppers Meet 2026 and a much needed full night’s sleep, I’d like to take one more day off from posting articles and instead take a moment to personally thank a few people that made this event possible. Primrose Park Campground: Rose and Nancy were so welcoming and accommodating. We…

Radios, water filters, first aid kits, knives, solar equipment, food preservation tools, emergency lighting, and enough gadgets to fill a trailer. There is nothing wrong with buying quality equipment. Good gear…
Self-Reliance Also Means Handling Minor Disagreements Like An Adult Preparedness attracts independent people. That is one of its strengths. We value self-reliance, personal responsibility, practical skills, and the ability to solve problems without waiting for someone else to step in. That same mindset should apply to minor disagreements. Whether you are camping with friends, travelling…
Setting Up a Safe, Functional Camp When You Arrive Tired, Hungry and Running Out of Daylight After hours on the road, the temptation is to stop the vehicle, pull out a chair and declare the journey over.
