English Protests, Oblivious Drivers, and Veg-Flation
A few thoughts I’ve had recently… English Protests I’d imagine by now that you’re heard about the “protests” going on in the UK.

How To Survive Without Electricity (Off Grid)
This family has been living off-grid for 25 years. While most of the advice they offer should be common knowledge to preppers, it’s always good to be reminded of what you can do.

20 WW2 Survival Foods You’d Never Eat?
I just read through this article (it’s really a slideshow) of twenty WWII-era foods that civilians ate due to shortages and rationing.

That’s why, last week, I changed out our water storage only to realize…
10 Overrated Preps You Probably Bought
Prepping lists for me are like a gnat to flame – I can’t help but be dawn to them! But it also matters who’s sharing them. The Urban Prepper is a guy I used to follow a lot years ago, back when I lived in Washington State, but has since fallen off my radar because…

2 Critical Reasons to Worry About AI as a Prepper
I know that AI gets a bad rap at times, and maybe for good reason, but from what I can tell it’s only a fancy search engine. It doesn’t actually “think” like we’re all worried about. At least, not yet. I’ve played around with it on occasion and I’m both mystified and dumbfounded by the…
5 Proven Ways to Prevent Botulism
I’m sure you’ve heard of botulism before. It’s that super nasty, deadly disease that will kill you in a instant! Well, maybe it’s not that bad, but it could require hospitalization and prompt medical treatment; the problem is that these services may not exist when SHTF or other major survival scenario occurs. Thus, it’s best…
