    Back to Cast Iron

    About a month ago, I started to complain about one of the pans we often use for cooking eggs, vegetables, and whatever else fits: It was a useful pan once upon a time, but the surface coating is really starting to fall apart: And because we’re trying to get healthier lately, I figured it was…

    How to Combat Inflation as a Prepper

    A few weeks ago, I was talking about rising egg prices and rising gold prices as being a concern. Preppers should take heed because it’s in our mindset to think ahead of the sheeple and to prepare for the coming hard times whether they’re largely unpredictable (such as with some natural disasters) or all but…

    11 Survival Supplies You’ll Wish You Had Sooner

    I think I just bought half of the items in the video below, lol. I really like the idea of compressed toilet paper tablets, the zip stitch (for wounds larger than steri-strips), micro backpack, durable watertight bags, and the cache belt. About the only item I disagree with is the credit card knife as I’ve…

    How to Extend the Longevity of Your Equipment When Cut Off From Society: 12 Strategies

    Preppers embrace life on their terms while isolated from society. They’re also equipped for challenges, so they have loads of tools and equipment.

    DIY Power Station Build

    Portable power stations are nice to have, but they’re expensive. I recommend simply purchasing an appropriate power inverter and connecting it to your vehicle, but sometimes that’s not very convenient, such as when the weather is horrible outside. If you’re willing to spend a bit more to buy a lithium battery and an appropriate inverter,…

    Inflation Data Red Hot, But No Need to Worry?

    This week I’ve been pointing out that egg prices AND gold prices have rise substantially over the past year or two. I suggested that this is a precursor of worse times to come. But I also pointed out that I’m not a financial analyst, so my estimation isn’t necessarily the best one to go by.…

  • Are Rising Gold Prices a Sign of Worse to Come?

    Are Rising Gold Prices a Sign of Worse to Come?

    Monday I mentioned that egg prices are on the rise, which I suspect you knew already. What concerns me is that rising prices across the board may be a sign to of worse things to come, but I’m only a paranoid prepper. 😉 Today I want to point out the rise in gold prices. They’re…

  • Are Rising Egg Prices a Sign of Worse to Come?

    Are Rising Egg Prices a Sign of Worse to Come?

    I haven’t had to purchase eggs in years, at least until this past December. I was shocked to see that the organic / cage free eggs were nine dollars for a dozen at our local grocery store. The cheaper eggs were something like four or five dollars a dozen, but even that felt a tad…
