    What You Don’t Know About Your Food Stockpile (Guest Post)

    Today I want to talk about your food stockpile. I know, I know…in general this topic has been covered so many times, but those are the basic “how to” type articles. So instead I would like to share a few of the unique challenges you will face with your food stockpile when SHTF. Many people…

    Insulin Wallet

    I wanted to point out something that a reader mentioned a while back about what you can do to keep insulin cool while on foot, during a bug out, or whatever the case may be. It’s called an FRIO Insulin Cooling Wallet. The idea is simple: get the wallet wet with cold water and it…

  • Take The Time to Learn New Things, Even if NOT Survival-Releated

    Since I haven’t been writing in recent months, I found new “old” ways to fill my time, namely learning new things! Although they’re not survival-related, I’ve realized over this time how much I missed learning stuff.

  • Distracted Driving Patrols On NOW!

    I was driving around my town yesterday and noticed one of those giant lit road signs along the highway that stated: “Distracted Driving Patrols on NOW” which happened to get my attention.

    I’ve Recently Re-Discovered The Frugality of Using a Washrag With Soap

    I know this may sound super simple but, as the title points out, I’ve recently re-discovered the frugality of using a washrag with soap in the shower. Now, I may occasionally use a washrag to wash my face outside of the shower but rarely do I use one while showering or bathing. You see, I’ve…
