Heads up, Preppers!  If there’s a chain of Family Dollar discount stores in your area, you can score some good deals on canned and dry foods while supplies last.  I have a neighbor who works at the local Family Dollar here in Podunk, NH and I went there earlier today to pick up a few [...]

Whatever the Obama administration would like you to believe (as he still blames Bush for the mess), the economy has gotten a LOT worse since the day he took office, not better.  Or in the words of economist; Michel Dube, author of “The Dollar Freefall”: The economy is broken and by all reason must collapse. Home values have plummeted [...]

Here we go again…  Is there any end in sight to the labeling and categorization of American citizens as “extremist” for just about any ideology or philosophy??  Are we back in the days of McCarthyism??  Did somebody resurrect J. Edgar Hoover??  Before you know it, there won’t be anybody left in this country who doesn’t [...]

Give a man a fish, he eats for a day… Teach a man to fish… Eh, you know the rest. Here’s a demonstration of minimalist fishing using mostly natural materials.  Reminded me of when I was a kid.  I had fishing poles growing up, but the times I remember the most were fishing with just [...]

OH YEAH….  As you can imagine, one of my favorite places are military surplus stores.  I mean GOOD military surplus stores.  Places where you can get the REAL old-school military gear.  I’ve seen shops that call themselves military surplus, but when you get there, most of the gear  is new, not made to military spec, [...]

I like to make my own stuff and I enjoy working with wood, so a while back, I got interested in making my own long bow or a (ha!) recurve bow. I figured, how hard could it be? Right? Well, actually, I knew it would be a challenge, but I really had no idea how [...]

Who among us hasn’t experienced the joys of eating roadkill?   What’s that?  You haven’t?  Well, to be completely honest, I’ve never deliberately eaten roadkill (I ate some roadkill bear once, but wasn’t informed of the cause of its demise until after the fact). But when you think about it, what’s the big deal?  As [...]

David Sarti, best known for his prepper videos on You Tube was declared a “Mental Defective” by the state of Tennessee just days after appearing on the National Geographic show: “Doomsday Preppers”.  As a result of this judgement, the state has revoked his permit to carry and confiscated all of his firearms.   Sarti found [...]

This is what I’m talking about! I often stress the importance of people getting together with other folks in their community to get prepared and work with each other to ensure the safety of their families. The lone wolf survivalist is a myth and when the SHTF, we’re all going to need to rely on [...]

The Brits have been getting hip to the whole prepper and survivalist movement that’s been going on here in America and the popularity of the subject has been surging lately. I’m frequently contacted by television production companies pitching one prepper/survivalist show or another (usually with the same questionable premise), and I’ve been noticing more of [...]
