Plenty of you reading this have served in the US Armed Forces and are all too familiar with the old MRE’s (meal, ready to eat). Plenty more have run into them during disaster operations or when someone pulls one out of a bag when out camping. The content of these sealed pouches has changed quite a bit […]
We all know “That Guy” the prepper that has enough guns and ammo to wage a second Battle of the Alamo, and win. The type of people who equate firepower with survivability. I’m not in any way downplaying the role, or need for an appropriate amount of firepower in a disaster event. However, it does seems prudent to be […]
3 – 2 – 1 STOP! Now load everyone you’re responsible for into your vehicle and start driving. See you in a week! Sounds like a militant drill carried out by those who actually thought they were preparing for a zombie apocalypse. However, once you fully understand that for which you are really preparing, the […]
Many people, when they think about preparedness, think of Doomsday Preppers on National Geographic or Mad Max movies and a land without laws after a catastrophic event. Both of these ideas are ridiculous in their own way, but once someone gets an idea in their heads its difficult to change their thinking, which brings us […]
Our modern world certainly isn’t short on threats — from lone wolf terror attacks to state level threats like a nuclear North Korea to worry about on the global scale and good old-fashioned home invasions and murders to stress over on the local front, it can feel like there’s never been more to prepare for if you’re […]
It dawned on me during the Hurricane Harvey disaster, while having a beer on my friend’s farm in Portland Oregon, that if something really bad, I mean devastating, happened to the U.S., call it natural disaster, an act of terror, or worse yet N. Korea launches a nuke onto American soil, most Millenials along with […]
In an effort to provide our readers with disaster preparedness information as well as recommended gear for go bags and survival kits, it’s sometimes hard for people to justify having a dedicated go bag. 99% of those that commute for work and school already carry some type of bag or backpack. Why not take advantage […]
The President has designated this month as National Preparedness Month and so with that in mind…let’s talk about Go Bags. Most people outside of the military, law enforcement and weary world travelers don’t know what a go bag is, so I guess defining what it is should be our first order of business. Your Go […]
FEMA, Federal Emergency Management Agency, It’s an acronym and name that can cause panic or a sense of calm. The real question that many people don’t know is who exactly is FEMA and what do they do? How do they show up on the scene of a disaster event? There are a lot of urban […]
I’m sitting high on the horse, watching Hardcore Henry, and eating pizza rolls. Right now, outside there are massive gusts of winds, rain is coming down in sheets and my family and I are safe, prepared, and ready to hit this storm head on. Am I a prepper or a survivalist? Sure you can call […]
