When it comes to preparedness, sometimes we focus so much on preparing for big emergencies and natural disasters, that we forget about preparing for everyday life. This is especially important if you have a family. Being prepared for the ‘little’ things that happen everyday, especially when you’re away from home, will make everyday life go […]
Is bugging out a fantasy? No, it’s not. In some cases it’s a requirement. I think some people get confused when they hear the term ‘bugging out’. They imagine someone dressed in camo running off into the woods to live in a tent for the rest of their lives. This is not necessarily the case. […]
Us preppers sure do like 5 gallon buckets. We use them for eeeeeeeverything! And why shouldn’t we? They’re cheap and sometimes completely free. You can get 5 gallon buckets from places like Walmart, Lowe’s, Home Depot and other stores that have a hardware type section. They can range anywhere from $3-20. We usually get the […]
I recently watched a video from Prepper Potpourri where she had mentioned there was a liquor shortage in Michigan because, basically, there’s a monopoly of private liquor companies in Michigan.

People seem to think that during an emergency or disaster, you’ll be constantly running around like a chicken with your head cut […]
When it comes to prepping, it’s a mans world. It just kind of how it is. Men tend to naturally gravitate towards everything preparedness related. Honestly, I never in my wildest dreams would have ever guessed I’d be as hardcore into preparedness and the outdoors as I am. When you look at the ratio between […]
When people think about a gas mask for emergency situations, they think something like this: Some unrealistic end of the world scenario where a gas mask would be useless for long term. Or they think that they just ‘wouldn’t want to live in a world where they have to wear a gas mask all the […]
Each season we should be changing out our preps to serve the needs of the season. If it’s summer then we need to be thinking about summer needs such as sunscreen and bug spray. Around September or October is when we should get together what we need for winter. At the end of this post, […]
I’ve heard countless people complain that they bought all this gear and learned all this stuff but they’re worried or have come to the conclusion that nothing is ever going to happen! I think this is such a strange mindset. You’re mad cause you’re prepared? I’d like to summarize one of my subscribers: Do you […]
