Legacy Food Storage 72 Hour Food Kit: Pasta Primavera Review
I was recently sent this Legacy Food Storage 72 Hour Emergency Food Kit in exchange for an honest review. I figured rather than reviewing the entire bucket contents at once that I would taste test a few of the meals and share my thoughts each time… probably once a week or so. With that in mind,…
2017 Prepper Bundle + Giveaway + Special Offer: 90% Off 30 Resources, 6 Days Only!
A while back I was asked if I would be willing to contribute to the 2017 Prepper Bundle and I said “sure, sounds like fun.” But it wasn’t until recently that I realized just how massive this prepper bundle truly is… You see, I recently had a chance to find out just what’s included in this…
WARNING: We Are Not Ready For The Next Pandemic
“WARNING: We Are Not Ready For The Next Pandemic,” this was the cover title on a recent Time magazine article I read while waiting at my kid’s orthodontics appointment the other day. I was intrigued. What did Time magazine know that I didn’t? Well, a few things, in fact. For example, I did learn that “the…
6 Ways Famine Grips The U.S.
It always amazes me how complacent the vast majority of Americans are. Most people seem to think that disaster will never strike them. That the lights will always stay on. That grocery stores will always have food. On the one hand I can understand this sentiment because–while times are good–society runs very smoothly and we’re…
3 Weird Ways To Make A Fire
It always amazes me how ingenious some people can be… I doubt I would have ever thought of two of these ideas without having seen them first. Of course, I have seen the water bottle fire starting trick before and, honestly, I thought he was going to do something else with the light bulb but…
One Year In Hell: Wartime In Bosnia
Could you imagine living through something like this? Amazingly, it was ONLY one year “in hell” during wartime in Bosnia in the early 90’s but the experience must have felt like an eternity. If this real life account is even remotely accurate (I’ve heard similar stories, though) it must have been a horrible experience to…
49 Sq Ft Bug Out Retreat?
What do you think about a tiny little house like this as a bug out retreat? This sure takes the idea of only needing a “roof over your head” to a new level, lol. Plus it seems like he hasn’t quite thought this out completely, though I do like the eventual idea of the add-on…
When Was The Last Time Your Cooked A Meal From Scratch?
A while back–over Easter, I think–we had a conversation with my kids about cooking food, in part because the topic came up, but also because my oldest is growing up and needs to realize that making meals is more than just opening a can of soup and calling it good. Honestly, he actually is interested…
GroBucket: Turn Any 5-Gallon Bucket Into Self-Watering Container
I’ve seen other self-watering container ideas (and even tried one) in the past and, for the most part, they’re a useful tool if you’re short on space or just want to use buckets for gardening. This particular GroBucket is similar to others in general design but the inclusion of a water level (assuming it survives beyond…
