 Strangely, one of the things that “worries” me the most on a personal level is my ability to sleep in a grid-down situation. You see, I’m a light sleeper, I mean REALLY light sleeper and if you are too you know what I mean. Some might think that’s a good thing during times where you need to be on-guard and maybe it will prove useful some day, but in my normal life it generally sucks.
To combat this I’ve grown accustomed to sleeping with a fan turned on

 …it’s that I have no idea how I would really be able to survive if SHTF. Seriously. You see, there’s a weird conundrum afoot with respect to this particular problem. On the one hand we have the belief in OPSEC, save yourself (and your immediate family), too bad for everybody else mentality that is generally a part of most prepper’s mentalities. Yet, on the other hand, it’s fairly clear that in any true long term, SHTF, mutant zombie biker scenario you really can’t go it alone–even as a

 Ok, I’m not proud of it but I did get “schooled” by my kids this weekend. Long story short, we were out and about trying to find what my kids called the “ladder” park which turned out to be a nearby playground at the local lake. After about 45 minutes of driving we finally found it. Never mind that.
The point of this story is this: during our travels we wound on the same street as my child’s school but coming from the opposite direction. As I didn’t

 The post on Monday asked whether pet stores were a “secret” place to find last minute preps and the answer was obviously NO. Today, however, I try to point out a few places where you could actually find last minutes supplies if you really had to. Now, even though I wrote an e-book about last minute shopping at places like Walmart and Home Depot, you know as well as I do that that places like these–along with your local grocery stores–are going to be swamped and quickly

 I was recently watching a show about Armageddon or zombie apocalypse (aren’t they really all the same?) when one of the people on the show suggested that your local pet store was a better place to find lats minute supplies–in particular food and water–than any local grocery store. I said “What!? No way.” He basically stated that most people wouldn’t bother to go to a pet store because they wouldn’t see that as a place to get the things they needed, such as food, water,

This is a topic I’ve had to deal with more and more lately as my kids get older, bolder, and more technically savvy. Sadly, I’m already starting to ask my 10 and 7 year old children how to work various electronics.

I’m not sure I can think of much in life that’s more disgusting than someone who actually wants to do harm to a child. These are horrible people and, while they’re a very small minority, they do exist and must be protected

I always look forward to sending my kids off to school (is that wrong?) because it means a good 8 hours that they’re someone else’s problem! Ok, they’re not THAT bad and, in fact, are actually pretty good kids. Of course, even
