Swap Out Your Food and Water Supplies for the Coming Warm Weather
Now that the weather is beginning to change and warm up a bit, I figured I would post a friendly reminder for you to change out any food and water supplies that you’ve had stored away. Specifically, I’m thinking about the food and water in your bug out bags, vehicle kits, as well as any you…
Rainwater Harvesting: Why You Should Do It And How! (Guest Post)
Storing water almost always ends up at the top of a prepper’s checklist of essentials during SHTF situations, and understandably so as it is the most important aspect of a person’s survival. Having water in your body could spell the difference between life and death. Always remember that a person can last only three days,…
WaterSafe Drinking Water Test Kit Review
I was sent this Watersafe Drinking Water Test Kit for review. To be honest, I wasn’t sure I truly needed it but I figured it couldn’t hurt to test my water as I’ve never done this where we live and, of course, it’s better to KNOW my water is good rather than to ASSUME it…

If you want to know how to purify water with the “new” bleach, you’ve come to the right place…. I was at Walmart the other day and remembered that I needed a new bottle of bleach and apparently it’s been a while because every bottle I looked at said “More Concentrated” on the label. I mean EVERY…
How to Thoroughly Clean Your Berkey Water Filter Inside and Out
It’s been several months since we took the plunge and purchased our Berkey Water filter system.

6000 Gallons and 3+ Solid Years of Clean, Worry-Free Water For Less Than $290: Why Didn’t I Do This Sooner!?
Since our move to Washington state I decided that–as much as I enjoyed using it–I didn’t want to move and install our undersink reverse osmosis water filter yet again. After several years of relatively faithful use… it was time for a retirement party. And, so, I quickly convinced my wife we should part ways (err……

I believe I’ve linked to the Solar Kettle in the past but it’s probably been so long I can’t much remember anymore. 😉 And, though I don’t own one myself, I can see how useful this SunRocket Solar Kettle (Amazon.com link) might be for a wide variety of circumstances, including while camping, hiking, and certainly for…
Can Your Pool or Hot Tub Really be Used as a Source of Water?
While I don’t have a pool a few neighbors do. I’m sure a few have hot tubs too… rough life, I know. In fact, as I write this I’m sitting pool-side watching my kids swim at a neighbor’s pool because they’re more than nice enough to allow us that privilege on such hot summer days.…
