Water is life. Having clean, potable water is an essential part of survival. In this post, I’m going to talk about a few of the best water purification methods. First, a few notes: Whenever you’re looking at water filters, be sure to look at the microns and understand what microns means. Here’s a video that […]
I want everyone to be prepared and I don’t want anyone to have to rely on anyone else. Nor do I want a prepared person to have to be responsible for unprepared people. In a perfect world, we’d be all be prepared and we wouldn’t have to rely on anyone else for our basic needs. […]
Living off grid in an RV is an exhilarating adventure. With a husband, two young kids and two dogs, there’s always something interesting going on. Being prepared in an RV is a lot different than being prepared in a home or even an apartment. There are many considerations to be made, but mostly, you learn […]
