A week or so ago my wife found a Pinterest pin where a woman wanted to celebrate her 38th birthday with performing one “random” act of kindness for each year of life and ended up spending an entire day doing so. FYI, here’s a link to her original article. My wife decided it would be a great idea for our family to do something similar and so I’m tagging along–hoping it won’t be ALL day–to do some good around the city. I figured I would attempt to encourage you to do something similar that day (Friday, June 21st). It doesn’t ... continue reading...
I just found out that a book I REALLY enjoy and recommend–The Survival Medicine Handbook by Dr. Joe and Amy Alton–now has a successor: The Survival Medicine Handbook: A guide for when help is NOT on the way. I intend on buying a copy in the very near future and suggest you do as well… you likely won’t find a better SHTF medical references anywhere.
continue reading...I recently got turned on to this blog (AreWeCrazyOrWhat.net) and I like what I see. This week she’s doing a review of the LifeStraw water filter, explaining all the in’s and out’s and is even throwing in a giveaway for the next handful of days. You can enter via Facebook or for those who refuse FB you can use your email address too. Enjoy!
continue reading... Today I want to talk a little bit about a very handy piece of equipment that I have used on a daily basis for over a year and a half now. It’s the Mil-Tec 50 Liter backpack. I had, and I guess still have, a German Flecktarn camo pattern obsession. I used to travel quite a bit for a living, it was part of my job at the time, and I would go through the El Cheapo day packs like water, they just could not hold up to the demands of my profession. When the last one started ripping apart ... continue reading...The folks at SafeGuard Armor are doing another awesome giveaway of one of their very cool vests. Here’s a portion of the email they sent me, check it out on Facebook and enter…

continue reading... Yesterday was like any other day expect for the fact that I woke up to brown, sputtering water… yuk! It actually started out clear yet sputtering (like we’d lost water pressure) and then turned funny colors which was an obvious indication not to use it.
Certainly, I wasn’t worried as we had plenty of water storage–though we wound up drinking bottled water most of the morning and, strangely, I even had a plan to procure more if need be. Yes, it was an annoyance because it meant altering my plans (such as showering) and forced me to take alternative ... continue reading...I should have said something about this a few days ago so I apologize to all for that. Through Tuesday, June 18 only the folks at CampingSurvival.com are running a good sale on Wise Food storage products and you get a free water filter straw with purchase, here’s the details…

continue reading... A month or so ago I was looking for a copy of Moby Dick as I had never read it (I think it was mentioned in a movie I watched) and I thought to myself “hey, self, you should read that” and then I thought “hey… I should read other classics too!” I used to love to read novels but never bothered with most of the classics.
So I began to look for free classic books that I could read as PDF files on my iPad and wound up at PlanetEbook.com and found dozens of the most poplar classic novels, including ... continue reading... For most of us it’s easy to let your home and personal security lapse. After all, how often is your life or property ever really in danger due to other people’s actions? Unless you live or work in “bad neighborhoods” or just have bad luck I would guess it’s a relatively rare occurrence… I know I’ve never been robbed or had my house broken into. Of course, more than 2 million burglaries are reported each year in the U.S. (at a rate of about one every 13 seconds) with two-thirds being home thefts, so somebody is getting robbed! Fortunately, it’s not ... continue reading... The sixty-third capacity that I introduce in my eBook is that you must use hands-free lighting for each adult. In it I state that:
You must “Use hands-free lighting for each adult. A good headlamp light is a useful addition to any family’s emergency supplies. These are especially useful for bug out scenarios as well as for any situation where you are alone and need two hands!”
If there’s any time where you may NEED both hands free, it’s most likely a disaster scenario. As such, I strongly encourage every adult to have a headlamp. Honestly, there’s no reason not to! If you want to ... continue reading...
