31-Gallon Faraday Cage DIY Build
About this time last year, I got into EMP protection devices for a brief time. Sadly, I didn’t do anything to keep my house, appliances, or vehicles protected from an EMP or solar flare. So, I figured I would take my first real steps to do so, but on a smaller scale. Truth be told,…
Pocket Survival Kit for Normal People
I’ve made my fair share of these pocket survival kits over the years. Truth be told, I don’t carry them any longer since I carry the necessities in other ways (e.g., I carry a pocket knife in my pocket and extra cash elsewhere) but I still like the idea of DIY kits like these, especially…
Survival Course Update
There are many interesting aspects to life as I get older, and by “interesting” I mean they mostly suck. One aspect that I’ve found less than ideal is my lack of desire to get things done that I’ve committed to. Whereas I used to “go, go, go” until bedtime, that’s just not the case these…
DIY Solar Generator Build (Harbor Freight)
I’ve never been much of a fan of solar generators, mostly because they’re expensive for what you get in return when compared to DIY setups, I’m slowly changing my view. That said, it’s always nice to see a DIY build that reminds me that I’m right sometimes, too. 🙂 Now, this is a long video,…
Costco Inflation Check!
Look, if I could go to Costco every week, I would. I love that place. But, my wife prefers we’re not in the poor house because I’m a “crazy” prepper, so we compromise…meaning she says I get to go once a month and that’s that. But I’ve been noticing recently, let’s say over the past…
Revamped Survival Course. You Interested?
I’d been racking my brain on another survival book to write. But, to be honest, I’m not coming up with much right now. At least, nothing that’s interesting to me. Then it dawned on me: why not revamp my 5 Minute Survival Blueprint Course? So, that’s what I’m working on. Aside from updating the month-long…
When Money Dies: Lessons on Hyperinflation from Weimar Germany
I’ve long believed that hyperinflation is coming to America. The problem is that I don’t know when. Granted, we could see spells of deflation, stagflation, or some combination of the above, so who’s to say precisely what to expect. What I can say is that if you’re not prepared for such events before they strike,…
Escape and Evasion Tactics, Urban Survival Techniques
There are three videos below. The first is nearly an hour long, and the other two are about a half hour each. I know that’s a lot of time to invest in a single day, but I strongly encourage you to take the time (maybe bookmark this post) and watch them through at some point.…
What Preppers Should Know About Their Home Electrical System
Electrical systems are integral to everyday life. They power your appliances, heat and cool your home, and keep the lights on. Most homes receive electricity from a centralized grid, whereas some preppers stay off it and produce power for themselves. Regardless, knowing what to do when something goes wrong is essential whether your power is…
