Hi friends,
I want to take a moment to share an important update with you—especially for those of you who have supported my work by purchasing the USB drives I offer here on the blog.
As many of you know, I’ve been selling these USBs on the side as a way to help support the blog and to get valuable, hard-to-find preparedness information into the hands of people who truly care about being ready. These aren’t just random files thrown together—they’re the result of hundreds of hours of research, organizing, and compiling survival knowledge that I believe every household should have on hand.
Unfortunately, recent changes have made things more difficult.
Due to a 100+% tariff on products made in China, the cost of the USB drives I use is dramatically increasing. This increase is something I simply can’t absorb on my own, and it’s forcing me to raise the prices on future USB orders.
That’s the bad news—but there’s also a silver lining.
To keep this information accessible, I’ll now be offering a Download-Only version of the same content at a reduced price. These download packages will contain everything included on the USBs—organized folders, guides, PDFs, manuals, and more—available for secure and instant download. This not only avoids shipping delays but also helps keep the cost down.
Here’s what’s changing:
-
USB Drives will remain available but at a higher price due to increased material costs.
-
Download-Only Versions will now be available at a lower price and with immediate access.
-
Both versions contain the same thoroughly researched and carefully organized content.
This blog has always been about helping others live more prepared and self-reliant lives, and the small income from these USBs helps keep things running.
Thanks for your understanding, and thank you for being part of this growing community!
Stay safe and take care.
Rourke
For those who love chickens as much as they distrust big government—this mug says it all. Boldly printed with the phrase “Buy me chickens and tell me you hate the government”, it’s equal parts funny, rebellious, and perfectly suited for the modern homesteader.
Crafted from durable ceramic, this mug is ready for daily use at the coop, the kitchen table, or the porch swing. Whether you’re sipping your first cup of the morning or winding down after chores, it’s a reminder of what really matters: freedom, simplicity, and fresh eggs.
This makes a hilarious and thoughtful gift for chicken keepers, homesteaders, preppers, and anyone who isn’t exactly thrilled with the way things are going in Washington.

This tariff war is going to cause pain for sometime but we have to divest ourselves from China
