So you stockpiled enough food to last you at least a year. Now what? In an SHTF situation, there are going to be water and energy shortages that will prevent you from cooking it. Things like rice and beans and pasta, the pillars of a long-term survival stockpile, cannot be eaten raw. You need alternative …
Though I’m not, by any means, trying to bring this particular prepping debate to an end (and there are quite a few of them), I do want to weigh in on the “lightweight versus ultra-packed bug-out bags” issue. Spoiler alert: there is no clear winner, it’s up to you to figure out what you pack …
A bug-out bag is a backpack filled with survival items that you should take with you when you’re bugging out, meaning you need to evacuate your home. It should have enough items plus food and some water to keep you safe and alive for at least 3 days and up to a week. Lightweight, durable, …

I decided to make a similar one just for urban scenarios. I’m doing this for several reasons, the biggest …

In today’s world, so many people have become overly dependent on cell phones for communication. In fact, there’s an entire generation of people, those born after 1995, known as Gen Z (aka iGen), who have …
When my friend and I came up with the idea for this article, we didn’t exactly have a goal in mind BUT we knew what we wouldn’t be able to do, and that’s to gather all the survival and preparedness knowledge in a single post. That’s just impossible and all its aspects is simply huge. So, we …
The thought of not having Internet and a working cell-phone post disaster (whatever that may be), is scary to me. Even though we humans lived for millions of years without blogs, Facebook, and Google, it’s going to be tough for most of us to kill time when there won’t be anything else to do other …
