What are people to do?
Over the past three weeks, I’ve had numerous discussions with people regarding the world today. These include people of varying economic classes, races, education levels – and political perspectives. None would be considered serious preppers. Concerns over inflation, food shortages, inflated stock markets, increasing cost of housing, and a ridiculous national debt were involved in… Continue reading What are people to do?

I apologize for not posting more frequently lately. We are in the process of moving to Kentucky due to my job. While it is a great opportunity it’s also pretty stressful. It’s a step in the direction we wish to go. Living at our retreat is within our grasp and hopefully, within the next few… Continue reading Recent
Prices Keep Going Up…..
Shocking? No, not really. I just saw a double pack of Coleman 16 oz propane cylinders which several years ago sold for $5.79 at Wallyworld and most recently was just under $7 – priced at $9.88. Nuts. I recently had to reorder some supplies for the Tier 1 Minuteman IFAK and yup, prices have jumped.… Continue reading Prices Keep Going Up…..
Red Dawn……again
Yup…..I’m referencing Red Dawn again. Still one of my favorite movies ever. Below is a great scene where Col. Tanner explains how the war began. Listen a couple of times. There are some details mentioned I missed the first 20 times I saw the movie…LOL. Rourke [ecwid_product id=”242168723″ display=”picture title price options addtobag” version=”2″… Continue reading Red Dawn……again
Putting Together a 2 Week(or close) Food Storage Bucket
Went to the grocery store earlier today and spent over $100 on what I feel would have been $65 several months ago. Many struggle to get their head around all that is happening throughout the world. Many ignore it sticking their heads in the sand and basking in ignorant bliss. Oh well. In the video… Continue reading Putting Together a 2 Week(or close) Food Storage Bucket
Reality
That’s “reality” as in what is real and we experience in life versus “realty” that involves land and property sales. We continue to travel down the path of life and see numerous things pass by us such as Russia/Ukraine, inflation, COVID, the demise of the American foundational principles, etc. The reality is there really isn’t… Continue reading Reality
A Cheap and Important Prep To Stock Up On Now
Here’s a very short video showing one important prep and how I stock up. Less than two minutes.
A Little Bit of Gardening
Many may be unaware but we(Maine Prepper Girl and I) live in a camper full-time. It’s a long story and I should probably recap it here at some point but, the point is, I no longer have the land for an in-ground garden like I once did. Yes. A few years ago I lived in… Continue reading A Little Bit of Gardening
Project: Survival Seed Bank
Here’s a quick video in which I am showing a recent project – a survival seed bank. This is one of a few I am putting together.

Bucket Food Storage Project – – Prepping Pasta for the Long Term
Recent video discussing a project this past weekend I completed. I put up some buckets focussing on pasta, pasta sauce, and a few other things. With continuing inflation, a bucket such as this can put back a good amount of food fairly inexpensively. Do me a favor: If you watch hit that Like button and… Continue reading Bucket Food Storage Project – – Prepping Pasta for the Long Term
List of Commonly Available Heirloom Seeds – SAVE MONEY!!
I’ve shared this list of commonly available heirloom seeds in the past as so frequently companies repackage common seeds as “heirloom” and double the price. Heirloom seeds are attractive to many gardeners due to their non-GMO and non-hybrid status and the ability to harvest seeds for future planting. The reality is that many seeds commonly… Continue reading List of Commonly Available Heirloom Seeds – SAVE MONEY!!
Are We Going To Have A Nuclear War?
So Arlene asked me what my prediction is regarding Putin and nuclear war. I’ll start by saying that most every prediction I’ve made over the past few decades has been wrong. Oh – I’m glad about that by the way. Predicting the future and what will happen is incredibly difficult as there are so many… Continue reading Are We Going To Have A Nuclear War?

TOP 10 FREE SURVIVAL DOWNLOADS TO GET RIGHT NOW
These survival and preparedness files are all in PDF format and are fully printable. I’m an advocate of building a digital preparedness information system. Hardcopy books and manuals are best, but, they are heavy and take up a lot of space. A vast digital information system consisting of thousands of books, manuals, guides, etc. can… Continue reading TOP 10 FREE SURVIVAL DOWNLOADS TO GET RIGHT NOW

The following is being republished with permission from TheEconomicCollapseBlog.com. Now we are being told that we are all going to “have costs” for the crisis in Ukraine.

Recommended Resource: The Survival Medicine Handbook
MEDICAL PREPAREDNESS: Mentioned the other day that there are often supplies that we fail to stock up on because although useful – they are just not fun and exciting. Books often sit in this category. There is one MUST HAVE book in particular that I highly recommend due to its invaluable information. The Survival Medicine… Continue reading Recommended Resource: The Survival Medicine Handbook
From the Desk of John Rourke……….
Anyone else think that this “SHTF” we have been planning on for the past couple of decades actually started a few years ago?

There are so many things going wrong right now not only in… Continue reading From the Desk of John Rourke……….

Lone Wolf Mcquade – Chucky Baby!!!!!
I’ll throw my vote in that the Chuck Norris movie Lone Wolf Mcquade is the best movie ever made. Yeah – it’s full of masculinity and loads of testosterone. Yup – and I think it’s that same stuff that won two world wars and the lack thereof that lost Vietnam and Afghanistan(damn politicians!!). Color me… Continue reading Lone Wolf Mcquade – Chucky Baby!!!!!

Russia/Ukraine
It’s appearing that the invasion of Ukraine by Russia is imminent. As of this writing, Russia has stationed well over 100,000 troops along the Ukrainian border and has also moved ships to the area. Russia has literally begun to encircle Ukraine with military activities north, east, and south. What impact will an invasion have on… Continue reading Russia/Ukraine
