Jul 28, 2014  As I’ve been having fun at making water bottle survival kits recently I figured it only made sense to try a five-gallon bucket survival kit. After all, I LOVE buckets and think one can never have enough of them. As you can see I was able to shove it all in there but to get the lid on required a bit of… persistence:
Here’s what I was able to stuff and shove. I was going to number them but ... continue reading... Jul 26, 2014

Whereas once upon a time we used to have a fancy YMCA membership and probably paid $85 or more each month for the family plan. Add that up and we spent a good $1000 a year! Thankfully, we don’t do that anymore.
The sad thing is that, like most “new” habits, we used the membership a ... continue reading... Jul 23, 2014  When I first got “into” prepping several years ago now (if not longer) I saw it merely as a way to keep from being totally screwed in the short term until things got back to normal. You know, I’d have flashlights and lanterns if the lights go out, food in then pantry in case we couldn’t get to the store, a way to briefly stay warm until power comes back… that sort of thing.
In the past few years I’ve added to many ... continue reading... Jul 22, 2014  Although we see things for what they are, preppers aren’t immune to many of the problems that regular Americans find themselves in. Even though we seem to be coming out of the great recession, too many of us are still suffering from large amounts of debt. And the problem keeps growing. Among these numbers are certainly many preppers.
But for a prepper, the decision between what they need and what they have is a bit more complicated than for the average ... continue reading...

Nuff said. And hard tack? Yikes! You may as well be eating a brick.
Well, I came across this article a while back on making survival bars and I thought I would give it a shot myself to see what they tasted like. Please read the original article if ... continue reading... Jul 19, 2014  Do you enjoy going camping but find that you don’t quite go often enough to remember everything you need and, without fail, you forget a handful of useful items?

While I’ve learned to try and use less of our utilities, use less paper goods, less plastic goods, there’s still more that can be done and a part of that means using less of those things that we know we have to replace on occasion, including items like dishwasher detergent, laundry soap, toothpaste, and so on. Here’s a few things I’ve learned over the past few months:

From this point forward I’m ONLY going to include posts that I’ve written in the email feed and will NO LONGER be showing “daily links” or “daily videos” in the feed as well.
I know some of you may have grown fond of these daily links and videos; rest assured, I’m not going to stop posting about the best links ... continue reading... Jul 16, 2014 
Let me start off by saying that I’m really beginning to like multi-purpose flashlights like the Satechi LightMate Emergency LED Flash Light. At a cost of $30 shipped it’s almost a steal!

Long-distance flash light – 5 different lighting modes: bright, medium, dim, SOS, and strobe
High-strength alloy steel emergency glassbreaker
