Most times, when folks think about potential challenges such as an earthquake or a car breaking down in the middle of nowhere, they omit considering one of their greatest assets in dealing with such a scenario—their own physical strength. Personally, I believe that my biggest challenge in becoming more self-reliant is to be focused on what physical components of preparedness I will need in the future and be willing to pay the price for those today. That price may be in the form of daily...

As I’ve shared previously, “Alas, Babylon” is one of my favorite books relating to preparedness. I can read and reread it and still find myself making mental notes, “Oh yeah, I never thought of needing something like that.” For some reason the last read through had me really paying attention to the clothing aspect of preparedness. As such, I thought I’d share a few of my thoughts with you.
For starters, understand that I am in no way expert in seamstress matters. I wouldn’t know what to do...

OK Boys and Girls. Today we are going to talk about a very important currency of the future. It's called AMMO. (Pronounced a-MO, as in MO power, MO security, and MO of it.)

In an intentional melodramatic voice she then asked my brother if he would be willing to carry her into her room so she could go to bed. My brother responded, “Ok, Mom...

Perhaps I’m ranting here, but I consider the PROTECTION of our water sources one of the most key services that our tax dollars pay for. To discover that our government is miserably failing in this aspect twenty percent of the time is simply unacceptable on any level of conscience. We MUST have potable water in order to survive and thrive. Is it not bad enough
that our government permits the PURPOSEFUL addition of carcinogens and toxins in our water (such as fluoride) but now we have to add to...

Here’s a reality question. Do you really have sufficient food and water storage for one year? Recently information was revealed that the majority of a large nationwide mix of individuals who thought they had a year’s supply of food for their family, actually only had 90 days! And of the individuals who thought they had a years supply of water only had 3 weeks! Wow. Talk about a false sense of security, eh? (Let’s at least hope that the situation has been remedied since the results of...
