Over the last few decades, I have been more invested in long-term supplies for survival and prepping. After all the evidence shows that it is not a matter of if an event will occur but rather when. By event I mean; flooding, wildfire, home fire, windstorms, hurricanes, earthquakes, mudslides and even the dreaded fabled collapse of our current society. ¹ Now it should be noted that I have invested many thousands of dollars over the...
by Dan W One of the more important things we’ve wanted to include with our other prepping supplies is a communication system. Something beyond two cans and a string! Should a catastrophic event occur we don’t expect help in the form of government assistance will be readily available. Besides, we are leery and don’t think we’d want that kind of help ……….. even if it was offered. At least not until things have shaken out a bit...
You never know what life is going to throw your way. Whether your property runs on solar power, wind power, water power, the power company grid, or a combination you should expect something to happen regardless of how well you design your power system or how well the power company has provided power in the past. That is why you need a backup power system. You don’t want to be without power whether your loss of...
Well, hello and good morning (or evening depending on where you are and when you’re reading this), I hope that everything is going well for you and that you had a productive prep week. Everything has been going great here… everything that is except the excessively-high heat. Wow. When I go outside it feels like an oven and it’s kinda hard to breathe, but that part could be from the stupid allergies that have been...

by Dr. Arthur Bradley There is a great deal of confusion about DIY Faraday cages and Faraday Boxes. Not only about how to build them, but also what they actually protect against. In this article, Dr. Arthur Bradley, author of Disaster Preparedness for EMP Attacks and Solar Storms, answers a few basic questions and perhaps debunks a few myths. What is a Faraday cage? A Faraday cage (a.k.a. Faraday shield or Faraday box) is a sealed...
Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich says President Trump believes that if the Democrats embrace the radical wing of their party Republicans will win in 2020.

‘Iranian forces came to the aid of an oil tanker stranded in the Persian Gulf, a foreign ministry spokesman has said. The tanker is presumed to be the same Panama-registered vessel missing from radar screens since Saturday. The tanker, Iran’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesman Seyyed Abbas Mousavi said on Tuesday, “was in trouble due to technical defects in the Persian Gulf,” the state ISNA agency reported. Mousavi said that Iranian forces towed the ship...
by Tia G. Growing up, I had the pleasure of never seeing a roach, except on T.V. I grew up with the assumption that only dirty people had roaches. When I moved to Texas, I found out how wrong that assumption was. Even the cleanest of homes can get infested with roaches and it doesn’t take much. My first apartment in Texas appeared to be clean. Nice neighborhood, clean grounds, the apartment itself looked and “smelled” clean,...
1. Piles of Cash, Diamonds, Art (and Saudi Passport) Accused Pedophile Jeffrey Epstein was keeping “piles of cash” and a passport that appeared to be issued from a foreign country in a locked safe in his New York City home, along with valuable art and “dozens of diamonds” hidden inside the accused pedophile’s $77m Upper East Side mansion. The convicted sex offender was taken into custody July 6 and charged with sex trafficking and conspiracy, accused...
1. Getting Hot in Yellowstone Yellowstone is one of the most feared volcanoes on the planet, and a massive wave of quakes near the caldera will not do anything to calm nerves. Some 97 tremors have rocked the park over the past month, leading to eruption fears. The tremors have been relatively small, but some seismologists argue that the quantity of earthquakes is more relevant than the size when it comes to precursors of a...
Please note: I wrote this post way back in 2010 and wanted to share it here with you by re-posting. I hope that my writing ability has improved at least some since then. I’m sure everyone reading this is familiar with the bug out bag – essentially the escape and evasion kit is based on the same concept, but with several advantages. Don’t get me wrong, having abug out bagis a good idea, however a back-up plan, for your backup plan...
Below is the new format that I emailed everyone about… please let me know what you think and give any suggestions on how I can improve it in the comments section below. 1. Extra! Extra! Coffee and Newspapers No More! “Beginning in September, the coffee giant will no longer carry copies of three national newspapers and select local papers.
