Interested in a Survival Workbook?
I sat there over the holidays wondering what I was going to do in 2026. After all, I’ve been discussing preparedness online for a long time; I think I’ve had my blog since about 2009, which is a long time to keep at something. For years, it was fun because I was learning and I…

47 Easy DIY Survival Projects Paperback Now Available
For those preppers who prefer hard copy editions of books, which include most people, the second edition paperback of 47 Easy DIY Survival Projects is now available on Amazon.

DIY Survival Projects eBook on Amazon
I’m nearly to the point where I just want to stop publishing survival books on Amazon because the competition is ridiculous. Worse, Amazon fully expects authors to spend a ton of money on outside promotions and internal advertising, which just isn’t feasible for most of us self-published ilk. But I’m a glutton for punishment, so…

Why We Prepare Paperback Available on Amazon
My latest book, Why We Prepare: Lessons From The Past, Warnings For The Future, is now available on Amazon in paperback. (It’s also available in hardcover, too, and I’ll probably release the audiobook version in a few weeks.) If you’ll recall when I mentioned it the first time, this book is a bit different from…

I Wrote Another Survival Book. This One is Different.

(For what it’s worth, I wrote a second edition of my DIY survival book…

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. I’ve seen blogs come and go, met interesting people, and was surprised more than a few times when…

Paperback Now Available – Food Storage (2nd ed.)
I’ve been ramping up our food stores lately. With the current tariff wars and supply chain disruptions making headlines, I’m increasingly grateful for my well-stocked pantry. It’s one thing to talk about food storage in theory, but when you see grocery prices climbing and occasional empty shelves, the reality hits home. I’m not saying we’re…

Smartphone Survival Apps Book Updated. Want an Early Copy?
Last week, I decided to update my smartphone apps book. I was surprised it was older than I remember (I wrote it back in 2017) which means that, relative to my many other survival books, this one was due for an update! After all, smartphone apps change all the time. Long story short, rather than…
