800+ Free Survival Manuals
I was recently made aware of a huge survival guide resource at PatriotRising.com. It seems this page alone has over 800 free resources (by my rough count) which you may freely download, though the subheadings claim nearly 3000 resources… I’m not quite sure where the other 2200 are at. Regardless, every topic seems covered, from NBC…

Electric Knife Sharpener for SHTF Survival
I finally broke down and purchased an electric knife sharpener, a Presto Eversharp, which cost me just under $30 total on Amazon: Yes, I’ve NEVER owned an electric sharpener until this purchase preferring, instead, to sharpen knives by hand perhaps because I wanted to be “manly”… or just because I figured I shouldn’t rely on anything electric…

Check Your First Aid Supplies Lately? I Just Did And I Was Shocked At My Failure…
The other day my kid was feeling sick with sinus pressure so I went looking for some Children’s Mucinex and, while I had two bottles, they had apparently “expired” about three years ago. Now, normally I wouldn’t pay too much attention to expiration dates but since it was a liquid medication (they tend to go bad…

Are Hard Times Really Coming?
How often do you see posts for “living in hard times” or the “coming hard times” or something like that? I might see a new post like that once a week or so. But, are these folks right? Are hard times REALLY coming? After all, one might suggest that things are great for most of…

Sanitation is, in my opinion, one of the most overlooked areas of emergency preparedness and…

Why I Stopped Using Gamma Seal Lids And Food Storage Buckets
I’ve used these gamma seal lids and food grade buckets for years now without trouble. We’ve used them to store rice, beans, oats, and wheat. In fact, they’re rather easy to use and make accessing my food storage buckets convenient. But, alas, I’m not going to be using them any longer. Why? Well, remember when I…

Will You Chase That Last Grain Of Rice?
The other day my kids heated up two cans of chicken with rice soup and because I was in a hurry that day instead of having them dish up their own rice I did it while they were still doing school. And, while I was dishing it up, I found myself chasing a few last…

5 SHTF Strategies For Avoiding The Zombie Hordes
I really feel like we must be heading towards SHTF sooner rather than later. I’d suggest you merely look at all the charts which show we’re heading over a fiscal cliff in the near future and you’ll surely agree. When? I truly don’t know. It could be a decade from now or tomorrow. But it IS…

Will Time Matter When SHTF?
The other day I talked about another power outage we had and while I was sitting there mostly in the dark because my family didn’t want to run but one single, dim lantern in the pitch black darkness (don’t ask me why) I began to ponder time and whether it will mean anything when SHTF. Ultimately, I’d…
