Neat to See This at Home Depot
I was at a Home Depot recently in mid-Missouri while visiting my folks and as I walked into the front door I immediately noticed this TwisterPod storm shelter by Survive-A-Storm Shelters: As I was intrigued I took a closer look: Sadly, there isn’t anything inside to get excited about.

800+ Free Survival Manuals
I was recently made aware of a huge survival guide resource at PatriotRising.com.

Why I Stopped Using Gamma Seal Lids And Food Storage Buckets
I’ve used these gamma seal lids and food grade buckets for years now without trouble. We’ve used them to store rice, beans, oats, and wheat. In fact, they’re rather easy to use and make accessing my food storage buckets convenient. But, alas, I’m not going to be using them any longer. Why? Well, remember when I…

Will You Chase That Last Grain Of Rice?
The other day my kids heated up two cans of chicken with rice soup and because I was in a hurry that day instead of having them dish up their own rice I did it while they were still doing school. And, while I was dishing it up, I found myself chasing a few last…
