After a short time on the road, Jess checked the service on her phone and was able to contact her parents to let them know what had gone on and that they had been delayed with the flat tire but were getting close. Jess left out the incident with the man at the gas station. She’d share that news in…
It rained, fellow preppers – it rained! Our creek is still not running, but it has a few inches of water as far as the eye can see through both sides of our property. I am not sure if the rain we got was enough to prevent the grass from dying out, but I am keeping my fingers crossed. The…
If you’ve been prepping for any length of time, you’ve probably realized that one of the best ways to be prepared for whatever life throws at you, is an off-grid location. As a prepper or future homestead owner, you have several options. You can try to find an existing home and pour money into it to renovate it as an…
Duck tape, also known as “duct tape” has been in use since the early 1940’s. Believe it or not, it was first manufactured for the military and called “duck” tape, because it was waterproof. It wasn’t until the mid-1940’s that it became popular for HVAC use and thus was called “duct” tape because of its ability to effectively seal HVAC…
Hello Pack. We just finished yet another week without rain. The forecast keeps teasing us with some rain, but it never materializes. The chances of losing our upper pasture to this mini drought are getting greater and greater. I am going to buy more hay, and just figure the pasture is lost.

Get up here.” Jeff immediately climbed from the 3rd row seat, over the cat carrier and into the passenger’s seat. “Sammy. Get Delia out of her carseat and…
Body armor is a piece of protection that has long been on the “Get List” for preppers of all stripes, especially those who are more of a “defensive” persuasion. Beyond its obvious application for keeping screaming hot pieces of lead out of your tender insides when embroiled in a gunfight, it affords a measure of impact, cutting and piercing protection…
Glocks are the pistols of choice for all kinds of well-heeled shooters, professionals and plain civilians alike. Now, we here in the far flung future year of 2019 do not want for choices when it comes to rockin’ plastic striker guns, and some of them are even as good as the Glock overall, but Glock remains the once and, it…
Hello Pack. It’s been another busy week here on our survival homestead. We have had typical crazy Ohio weather – 80 to 85 degree days and 46 degree mornings. I sure wish we could get some rain. Our creek is bone dry. A few weeks from now when the fall rainy season hits we will surely be flooded in a…
“How about that station ahead on the right?” Jess pointed ahead to a station that only had a couple cars in line for gas. “Let’s try it. We don’t have to have gas, we’ve still got the extra reserve, but it certainly can’t hurt to top off.” Steve said. Jess turned the car into the gas station and pulled alongside…
