Planning For New Arrivals Post-TEOTWAWKI

June 29, 2010

No matter how prepared we are, supplies and space are finite. Providing for the needs of everyone showing up at our doorstep after the shtf is impossible, but the question remains who should be turned away and what will you do if they refuse to leave? How many people could you provide for and for how [...]

What If The Collapse Never Comes

June 27, 2010

What if the collapse never comes?  A reader asked this question in the comments of a recent post . What if we spend all this time and money preparing for a collapse that never happens. Then what? We’ll have wasted our lives, he says. One example given was Mel Tappan (1933–1980) - Tappan was a staple fixture of survivalist movement before his death [...]

Crosman Titan GP – A Failing Review

June 22, 2010

Thank Goodness for the Wal-Mart Return Policy. Most of us consider air rifles toys or training tools for the young. This is a mistake. When used within limitations air rifles can be effective survival tools. Last weekend, I stopped at Wal-Mart for dog food, but as usual meandered over to sporting goods before leaving the store. I’d been looking for another air [...]

101 Best Survival Movies Made in the Last 30 Years

June 18, 2010

Survival and shtf Movies List (Note) I’ve linked to each movie on Amazon.con so you can read the reviews there – but I don’t suggest you buy the movies. Buying movies is, in my opinion a waste of resources that could be put to better use. If there is a movie you would like to see try redbox or [...]

Washing Clothes Off-Grid or A Day At The Laundromat

June 16, 2010

I’ve always hated going to the laundromat. To many crack whores and welfare addicts to deal with. Sure there are good people who do their wash in the public machine, but it seemed like every time I went there were fewer of the good and more of the bad. The thought of my underwear and [...]

Do You Suffer From This Disease?

June 15, 2010

One of the most common traits of people who want to move off the grid, is lack of action. At least once a week, I receive e-mail from a reader complimenting me on my move off grid and my setting up a travel trailer homestead. Most go on to say that they dream of doing [...]

Do You Listen To Any Survival Podcasts?

June 9, 2010

Enhance your internet broswing

June 9, 2010

It takes up a tiny space in the bottom right of your browser where there is [...]
