As preppers, we need to challenge ourselves regularly. Some of these challenges may sound ‘easy’ while others may be a bit harder, it just depends on where you’re at with your preparedness. I encourage everyone, no matter where you’re at in your prepping journey, to do this 12 month challenge. In this post you’ll see […]
When it comes to your bug out bag (or BONCH (Bug Out Never Coming Home) as I like to call my bag), food is usually an after-thought. It can be heavy, bulky and who needs to eat when they’re bugging out?! You do. Food is energy. Even if you plan on bugging out in a […]
