Starting this Sunday night, I will be hosting a weekly podcast with the folks over at Prepper Podcast Radio BNetwork.  Show time is 9PM central.  The show is done live and there is a call in number you can use to talk with me live.  I will be sharing my prepping experiences and highlighting prepping…

So why is it that so many prepper sites preach about saving money?  Well it’s simple…prepping can get expensive.  Let’s say a weeks worth of food would cost you $200.00 for your family.  Multiply that by the number of weeks you want to be prepped for and you will soon get the picture.  Add to…

Well, I would love to tell you all that the last few weeks were restful for me, but there is nothing restful about moving your family 100 km into the mountains.  Although we are settled enough to make life fairly normal, there is still plenty of unpacking to do.  Above that, the outdoors needs quite…

I’m a day late. Generally, I try to post every Sunday, but had a small emergency that delayed me. Anyways, here goes. I’m a regular reader of many survival or preparedness related blogs. And on these blogs, you’ll often find equipment reviews. Heck, I do a few myself. What annoys me is that with all…
