Steve moved carefully through the woods beside the cabin driveway. His gun was drawn and he watched carefully for any signs of movement. Occasionally he’d scan the other side of the driveway until he caught sight of Ned Crankston as he moved toward the cabin as well. As Steve reached the clearing right before their cabin, he saw Ned come…
Hello, Pack. I hope you all have had a great week and accomplished a plethora of vital prepping. We have been getting a lot of rain lately – it’s what we call the “fall rainy season” here in our part of Appalachia. We went from being in a drought to expecting to be flooded in.

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…
