It’s easy to get caught up in the constant strive for self reliance.  Stockpiling food & supplies becomes so engrained in a prepper’s mind that everything we do relates somehow to growing the already substantial store of rice, beans & bandaids.  Every day, we go over our lists and keep a watchful eye for special…

Late again. I’m extraordinarily busy these days, and I’m getting tardy updating this. I have good intentions to post every Sunday, but we know what’s paved with those… Anyway, since we’re talking about time. let’s talk about time.

Sometimes it seems so simple & easy.  On top of posting here on the Canadian Preppers Network, I am a regular poster on the forum site as well.  Add to that a prepper blog of my own and a weekly podcast on the Prepper Podcast Radio Network, and I think that I contribute my fair…
