    It’s My Birthday, But You Get the Gift!

    I woke up feeling generous because today is my birthday. Actually, I woke up and wondered why everything hurts so damn much all the time, why nothing actually gets better despite doing good things for myself, and how much worse things are going to get as I age? The worst part is that I’m not…

    Got Pets? Read The Ultimate Guide to Survival Prepping for Pets

    As much as I like to believe I do a good job when writing my books, the first book I’d ever written was about preparedness for pets. It was a short book, but I was proud of it. I swore it was going to sell well and that I would probably be retired about three…

    Power Outage Strategy

    We’ve been getting too many power outages near where I live lately, probably due to winds. It’s getting rather annoying. But it’s not a problem because I have my power outage plans in place.

Watch the video and then I’ll share my comments below. Largely, the advice centers around the following supplies: Of these supplies, I suggest…

    FEMA Being Dismantled?

    With all the news about DOGE, tariffs, and whatever else is of interest to the mainstream media (MSM) the past few weeks, I hadn’t heard a word about Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) being cut until I read this article.
