    Sheeple
    Lately it’s been hard for me to understand how, with all the looming disasters facing the world, people seem completely oblivious. Even people confronted with the facts seem apathetic.

    Campfire Cooking
    So you've stocked up on all the food you'll need after the end of the world as we know it. You've got wheat, flour, dried foods, canned foods, all kinds of food. But if the worst case scenario happens, will you still have power? There might be power in some areas, but always assume there won't be where you are. And if there isn't, how are you going to cook all that food? In this modern age of TV dinners, frozen pizzas, canned soups and Hamburger Helper, many people never learned how to cook a meal the old-fashioned way. Read the rest of this post»

    Earthquake Damage
    The tragedy in Japan is the perfect example of how disaster can strike unexpectedly.
