Simplify your life

August 24, 2008

Most survivalist visualize a total Mad Max, type of collapse or TEOTWAWKI. Anything short the living dead walking the earth or gangs of Somali militia ravaging in the streets, fail to get us exited about survival planning. Don’t get me wrong, it could happen, with cloning, super mutating germs, scientist playing God and government experiments [...]

Survivalblog.com And Reality

August 19, 2008

Survivalblog.com has been the subject of a number of emails, that I’ve received over the past several weeks. The main concern seems to be from those who are strapped for cash.

Finding your place in the Country

August 16, 2008

A few years ago I lived on an old 350 acre farm. Most of the land lay as hillside and mountains, with about 25 acres of flat usable land. The house, barn and root cellar was conveniently surrounded by approximately two acres of open field. The closest house was over a mile away out the [...]

Letter Re: Poor Man's Survival Arsenal

August 16, 2008

While I agree with the gist of your article, I have a different philosophy. It’s based on caliber availability. As a former gunsmith, factory trained and certified by all the major handgun and long arm manufacturers in the US and a couple European, I’ve had the chance to play with all the toys and learned [...]

Pacific Northwest Survival Group

August 15, 2008

Greeting MR. Creekmore, I have visited several blog sites on the internet and they seem very full of talking heads with no or hardly any real down to earth preparations in place. As a result we pull out. We search for others who have done what it takes and by that I mean at least [...]

Letter Re: “The Survival Doctor”

August 15, 2008

Except for trauma and injury, which American medicine handles well, what good are “real” doctors now? You go to them for help, they ask you what symptoms you are experiencing, you tell them, they give you a script for a drug that will suppress your symptom, and you will pay your bill and “feel better.” [...]

The Poor Man's Survival Arsenal

The Survival Doctor

August 14, 2008

At the present time, it is against the law to practice medicine without a license. You have to go to medical school for years so that you can have a working knowledge of modern medicine, or a least to get a degree and a license that say you are competent. I think most doctors know [...]

Adapt to high gas prices

According to this news report, the average price for a gallon of gasoline dropped to $3.79. A month ago, gasoline prices were near a record of $4.11 a gallon. A year ago, gasoline sold for $2.77 a gallon. How long this decline will last is anyone’s guess, but I personally don’t think this will continue [...]

What You Should Know About Survival Gun Selection

August 12, 2008

What is the perfect survival gun? That is the question many have asked and for the most part this has been nothing but wasted effort, because in reality no such animal exists; granted some are more versatile than others but none that are up to the task of doing everything and doing it well, without [...]

Who me? Head of FEMA or DHS?

August 12, 2008

I think you’re doing a great job. I gave up blogging – candidly, I felt like I had shared all I knew to tell people. Plus I found I had a lot of people reading it (great) but who wouldn’t do a lick to prepare themselves for anything (not so great). A few people told [...]
