Some of the best prepping items are those that are not only highly useful but also inexpensive. It’s always nice to get a whole lot of bang for very little buck. It’s even better when one of these highly useful, inexpensive items can be a life saver. Fire is essential. Just to name a fewContinue reading “GHB – Contents – Fire Starters”

Now that you can breathe decent air and you have the right clothing to keep you sheltered from the elements, let’s move into water. In the rules of three that were covered several posts back (September 9, 2021), we discussed the need to have anywhere from one half to a whole gallon of water perContinue reading “GHB – Contents – Water”

This can be a fairly sensitive subject these days with all of the wide-ranging COVID vs mask related opinions and “information” floating around. Let me say clearly, right off the bat, this post has nothing to do with COVID. That being said, let’s begin. For many years I have read articles suggesting that a maskContinue reading “GHB – Contents – Masks”

Depending on what you do for a living, where you work, and any dress-code requirements you may have to abide by, you may want to pack a change of clothes in your GHB. I would hate to have to dress in a business suit for work and have to walk home in dress shoes andContinue reading “GHB – Contents – Change of Clothes”

In the last post I talked about the need for a Get Home Bag (GHB), how I am currently reassessing my own and assembling one for my wife, and listed some of the items that need to be included. This will be the first of a series of posts in which I will go overContinue reading “GHB – The Bag”

Basically, it’s the first, and smallest, rung on the ladder of the mobile gear we keep on-hand in preparation for whatever may come. There are several steps after EDC. The next step up isContinue reading “Get Home Bag (GHB)”

When looking at your own personal survival, EDC kits, Get Home Bags (GHB), Bug-Out-Bags (BOB), missile silos in the desert that are fully stocked, etc; all are useless if you don’t address for extremely basic, yet crucial rules of survival: the Rules of Three. Three minutes without air, three hours without shelter, three days withoutContinue reading “The Rules of Three – A Good Place to Start”

I am currently re-watching a zombie television series that I haven’t seen in several years. In just the first couple of episodes I noticed a glaringly obvious example of “Hollywood” portrayal. A character armed with a pistol is running from zombies. In short order, the character raises the pistol and executes (bad pun) perfect headshotsContinue reading “Perishable Skills”

First things, first. I’m no financial advisor. I have no money management education or certifications. What I do have is my own personal opinions and experiences that have worked very well for me. If you decide to use any of my advice and it doesn’t work out for you…. I’m not responsible. Prepping takes money……Continue reading “SHOW ME THE MONEY!!!”

Prepping takes alot. It takes money to buy the gear and books or pay for the courses/classes. It takes research to find what best suits your needs. It takes space to do all the projects, and grow the gardens, and store the gear. One area so many preppers seem to fail to appreciate is TIME.Continue reading “Time Flies When You’re Having Fun…….. and When You’re Not”
