What You Don’t Know About Your Food Stockpile (Guest Post)
Today I want to talk about your food stockpile. I know, I know…in general this topic has been covered so many times, but those are the basic “how to” type articles. So instead I would like to share a few of the unique challenges you will face with your food stockpile when SHTF. Many people…

Survival Medicine Forum – Brand New!
My buddy, Dr. Chamberlin, of ThePrepperPages.com has just started a new Survival Medicine Forum where you and others can “share tips, tricks, and techniques for treating illnesses and injuries preppers encounter during disasters.” The two best reasons to join, in my opinion, are that: The forum will be moderated by an doctor who knows his stuff which…

Insulin Wallet
I wanted to point out something that a reader mentioned a while back about what you can do to keep insulin cool while on foot, during a bug out, or whatever the case may be. It’s called an FRIO Insulin Cooling Wallet. The idea is simple: get the wallet wet with cold water and it…

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…

Now THIS is a Bug Out Bike!
It must have been quite a while since I’ve looked into mountain bikes but this is first I’ve seen such as neat looking bike. This bike, if you’re unaware, is the Mongoose Dolomite. Of course, the very FIRST thing that popped into my head was “Now THIS is a Bug Out Bike!” Obviously, it’s all…

Screwpop Clippable Keychain Tools
I was sent a press release about these “clippable” keychain tools last week from ScrewPopTools.com and figured I would share their interesting products with you. Now, I can’t say that I endorse their products as I’ve yet to buy one of their several keychain tool options but since I absolutely LOVE keychain survival items, I couldn’t resist.…
