What Would the L.A. Wildfires Be Like During SHTF?
The L.A. / Palisades wildfires got me to thinking recently, as such things do, about how this scenario might have played out differently if this were after a SHTF event … a time where normal services might be suspended or unavailable either regionally or nationwide. And while most of us would be preoccupied with two-legged…

How Many Will Be At Your Doorstep When SHTF?
With the holidays behind us, I couldn’t help but wonder just how many of these same people will be back at my doorstep one day, hat in hand. Everyone in my life, including family, friends, and probably my neighbors know that I’m a prepper … and that’s my fault. If I could do things over…

Things I’ll Definitely Stop Doing When SHTF
I don’t think people realize just how easy we have life. It’s only when something stops functioning that we get a small taste of it.

It’s the Little Things That You Will Miss
Earlier in the week we had a storm come through. It brought some rain, but was mostly high winds that eventually knocked out the power for three or four hours. It wasn’t long enough to be problematic, in that I didn’t have to hook up the refrigerator to backup power to keep food from spoiling,…

Prepping With Food Allergies and Dietary Restrictions
I recognize that not everyone can (or will) eat anything. Most of us assume that a person will choose to eat whatever is put in front of them when they’re truly hungry. That’s true to a point, but not entirely. There are times, for example, that people just can’t eat something because of a disease.…
