So, you’re in the middle of an emergency or disaster and you’re bored. Entertainment is seldom talked about in the prepping world because it’s seen as more of a distraction than a necessity. 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, […]

Let’s face it, there’s a lot we as preppers can do for free or cheap when it comes to preparedness. But ultimately, we do need a little bit of money to help float our prepping. Many people live paycheck-to-paycheck and it may not be because you’re living out of your means but it’s just how […]
For the majority of us, we have people that we want to stay connected to, especially during an emergency or disaster. We can have all the plans in the world and know exactly how each person should be implementing them, but there are numerous reasons why we’ll want or need to contact someone. During an […]
The planning part of preparedness isn’t glamorous. It’s not really all that fun. It takes time. It takes thought, research and more often than not, real world experience (or as close to it as possible). Planning isn’t fun so it’s not talked about much in the preparedness world.
