Add an Electric Slow Cooker to Your Preps, Here’s Why…
The other day I talked about creating a SHTF battery recharging business. Well, one of the best reasons to do so–besides the potential business aspect–is the fact that a descent sized off-grid power setup gives you options, including the ability to run and recharge a variety of small electronics and, in this case, the ability to…

17 Great Ways to Utilize 2-Liter Soda Bottles for Survival
I’ll admit it, I’m a huge fan of the ubiquitous 2-liter soda bottles. And like 5-gallon buckets, I think they’re far too under-utilized by preppers. In fact, 2-liter soda bottles can be used in a variety of ways and I would imagine I’m only grazing the surface here. The best part is that they’re 100% free. Here’s…

How to Create Your Own SHTF Battery Recharging Business People Will Beg You to Use!
Years ago I took my first steps into creating my very own off-grid solar power setup. Since then I’ve upgraded a bit by adding more solar panels and deep cycle batteries and, honestly, I never feel like it’s enough. I could, in fact, spend $20K and not have what I wanted!

Ignoring other services such as food, water, and electricity in this post, we all understand that if the grid goes down for any extended period of time then it’s basically “every man for himself” with respect to your healthcare since the doctors, hospitals, and drug providers are NOT anticipated to provide their normal services whatsoever in a grid-down…

Bartering Post-SHTF is Unrealistic, Don’t Set Yourself up for Disappointment

The past few days I’ve seen more and more references to something called the “Ultimate Survival Bundle,” from emails to posts on other survival websites. Eventually, I began to wonder what this “new” survival information was and so I checked it out. I should note that there’s an affiliate program associated with the bundle, hence,…

I know you’re reading this on Monday so that means you’re probably at work or busy running around in your daily life. As for me, I wrote this yesterday morning while I was preparing for an easy and fun-filled day watching my hometown Kansas City Chief whoop up on the lowly Dallas Cowboys (hopefully) mostly so…

Real Self Defense by Coach David Alexander
I’m glad to see Coach David is “back in business” and working on his B.E.T. personal self-defense system which I purchased and reviewed a while back and was very gald I did. Sadly, I NEED to get it back out again and review, review, review. David recently contacted me to let me know he’s revising…
