Doomsday Preppers vs. The Sheeple
I read this article the day before the 4th of July about a doomsday prepper “revealing his fallout shelter,” which, if I’m being honest, made me sad. Actually, it was the comments section that made me sad, but I’ll get there. Once upon a time, I watched the Doomsday Preppers television show that aired from…

Quishing? The QR Code Scam to Know About
Phishing. Smishing. Vishing. And now quishing? Perhaps you’ve heard of one or more of these terms, or maybe not. I can tell you that I’m getting old enough that I can’t keep up with the technological lexicon any longer. But I am still interested in knowing how hackers and scammers are using technology to target…

Forget Pandemics and War, This is Why I Prepare Today…
What’s a little clickbait in a title these days, am I right? Lol. But there’s some truth to it. Yes, I’m less concerned about a pandemic these days and slightly more concerned about war (including domestic strife), but there’s one drumbeat that I continue to beat on about, have for years, and will continue until…

Beware The Survival Books You Buy!
I’ve been writing books for several years now, and blogging about preparedness topics for over 15 years. Although I can’t claim to know everything, I do know a thing or two or three about the survival niche.

My Thoughts on the UK
We (me, my wife, my mother, sister-in-law, and her husband) recently returned from our two week whirlwind trip to the UK, and I can honestly say that I need a vacation from my vacation. It was what I call a “go go go” vacation that my wife loves and I wonder what just happened after…

My wife demands we go on vacation, so I’ll be be taking a break from writing for two or three weeks starting the first of June. I know, I know, it’s a rough life but somebody’s got to do it. We heading overseas, to jolly old England, Scotland, and Ireland. Aside from a few days…

What Disposables Would You Reuse During SHTF?
I was flossing my teeth a week or so ago, like I normally do at night, but before I threw it into the trash I got to thinking if I could (or would) ever get to the point of reusing something as mundane as dental floss. For some reason, probably because of the continued tariff…

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. It’s clear that the author has a bias against the cuts. One of the biggest…

This is Why We’ll Never Fix Federal Spending
I try to avoid politics on my blog because it’s just a losing argument; I’d be better off banging my head against the wall and expecting change as a result. People are so stuck in their left vs. right paradigms that there’s no way to break anyone free until they want to see the truth…
