My Thoughts on September Being National Preparedness Month
I would’ve totally forgotten that September was National Preparedness Month, except that my AI overlords like to remind me of such things, especially in my YouTube feed. My first reaction is usually something like, “didn’t we just do that?” But that’s probably because I’m getting old and the years are starting to fly by. It’s…
Dental Care When SHTF – There Are No Good Options
I’ve had more dental work done over the years than I’d like to admit. Fillings, crowns, two root canals … it’s a real mess in there at times. 😉 If things ever go sideways for good, dental problems are one of the few concerns I know I can’t fix after the fact. I can stock…
How Keep Your Freezer Cold for Days Without Power
Although the video script sounds like it was written by AI, it’s solid advice. And, while you really only need to watch roughly the first half of the video to get the details, I suggest watching through to the end so you understand why it’s best to pair the recommendations in the first half of…
A Self-Heimlich Maneuver I’ve Never Seen Before
I’m mostly just passing this one along for your reference. It’s a short video of how to perform the Heimlich maneuver that I’ve never seen done before. Honestly, you may inadvertently perform this maneuver when you pass out! All kidding aside, most authorities recommend using a chair to perform the maneuver. You may also be…
How Well Do You Know Your Local Area, Really?
About a month ago, I drove to a new place without GPS; it wasn’t that far away, maybe 20-25 minutes. No phone map telling me what to do next. Just a general sense of direction and whatever I remembered from looking at a map before I left. Yeah, it was scary! I eventually made it…
What Will the Coming Great Depression Look Like?
Every time I scroll through the news, mostly my YouTube feed, it’s the same thing talking about food prices climbing, oil prices about to spike, another warning about the economy hanging by a thread since we’ve recently passed 40 trillion in debt, and WW3 at some point. I keep asking myself the same question: Are…
40 Trillion, And Growing. When Is “Enough, Enough?”
Perhaps you’ve heard that the U.S. National Debt has surpassed another milestone on it’s way to oblivion – 40 trillion and growing. I believe I’ve been warning about this for roughly a decade now, back when it was half as much. But hey, what’s another 20 trillion between friends, am I right? The problem is…
How to Make a Medical Kit When You Have No Money
It’s been a while since I’ve shared one of ThePatriotNurse’s videos, but this is a good one because it focuses on the one area that I suspect most of us are falling short with: medical kits. Clearly, it’s easy to spend plenty of money on first aid items and supplies that never get used. The…
“Ultimate Survival Kit” Lists Are a Scam
I don’t want to spoil the whole article for you, but I recently read a post at OffGridSurvival.com about how Every “Ultimate Survival Kit” List Was Written by Someone Who Never Used the Gear, and I completely agree. The survival and preparedness niche has become saturated by people who don’t actually believe in the concept.…
