Stop Wasting Money on the Wrong Food Storage Foods
I watched the video below a week or two ago, but I figured it was appropriate since I’m still shamelessly plugging the second edition of my food storage book but also because food prices are continuing to rise no matter what you think of the tariffs or current trade war between the USA and China.…

15 Years Expired Pain Pills Still Work?
My mother-in-law is the queen of saving stuff, especially medications and sometimes foodstuffs that I would’ve tossed a long time ago. This bottle of Ibuprofen is a prime example: As you can see, the expiration date is stamped November 2010, which is nearly fifteen years ago! My guess is that neither my mother-in-law nor my…

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…

The Ultimate Costco List for Preppers
Thinking the world is going to end soon? Maybe the tariff wars still have you wondering what the future holds? I’m right there with you! In fact, I’m heading off to my local Costco today, in part, for our monthly grocery run but also to add to our preps. If you love Costco as much…

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…
