Prepping, no matter how you do it, takes a certain financial commitment. Prepping is in many ways a lot like saving in that you have to do without and sacrifice today to ensure a better tomorrow. But unlike traditional piggy banking, you won’t see a return on your investment unless things go wrong, like bad wrong. So while prepping is…
Hello, Pack. I did not get much active prepping done this week. Two of our grandchildren have birthdays in the same week, so celebrating and finishing up homemade gifts took up a lot of my time. I spent a lot of time at the barn on kidding watch, but Pearl still has not given birth yet. I swear, these kids…

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…

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. Worst case scenario I have too much hay.…
In front of her, Steve was still running full tilt toward the Durango, he was nearly to them but the strange man was going to reach her and the kids first. “Jeff! 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…
