There's a common misconception that all food goes bad, but that's not entirely accurate. There are some foods that, for all intents and purposes, will last forever. Or at least for the rest of your life. I'm talking about the so-called "forever foods." Sugar, salt, and honey are three common examples. Another one is white rice. As long as it's stored … [Read more...]
35 Techniques Guaranteed to Turn Your Home Into a Fortress
The vast majority of preparedness articles are about stockpiling food, water, and survival gear. And while these things are certainly important, having all the survival supplies in the world won't do you any good if those supplies are stolen by looters, or if you're killed in a home invasion. So in a way, home security is even more important than stockpiling … [Read more...]
7 Everyday Carry Tools That Will Last a Lifetime
They don't make them like they used to, do they? Over the past few decades, it seems like the things I purchase don't last as long. I still have tools I bought twenty years ago, yet I'm replacing tools I bought ten years ago. My conspiracy brain thinks this is intentional in order to get consumers to buy more things. Or it could just be the result of … [Read more...]

11 Spare Parts for Your Preps
Everyone has spare parts around the house, even if they're just simple things like screws, light bulbs, and batteries.

7 Brute Ways To Protect Yourself From Barbarian Hoards
People love ancient knowledge--whether it's herbs, fables, remedies, religions, philosophies--there's something fascinating and appealing about things people discovered or came up with thousands of years ago.

The Incredible and Efficient Use of a Bicycle as a Bug Out Vehicle
Most preppers don't even consider using a bicycle as a bug out vehicle. They think a bike is nothing more than a toy, and that you should get a real bug out vehicle. But what happens if there's a traffic jam that goes on for miles? And what happens if your vehicle runs out of gas and all the stations are dry? This is why a bicycle is such a great option. … [Read more...]

There are plenty of articles about survival bunkers--why you need them, where to put them, how to build them, and so forth.

80 Last-Minute Items To Get At The Supermarket
I want you to imagine something for a moment. You wake up tomorrow on what seems like a typical day, go to the bathroom, get your coffee, or do whatever you do in the mornings, and then you check your phone or computer or TV... and discover that it's happening. The shit has officially hit the fan. Nukes have been launched, EMP's have taken out power … [Read more...]
15 Survival Uses for Triangular Bandages
A triangular bandage is one of the most common types of bandages, and for good reason. Basically, it's a large piece of cloth in the shape of a triangle with a right angle, like this. It can then be folded into a long narrow band called a cravat. One of the most popular ways to use a triangular bandage is not as a bandage, but as a sling. You've no doubt … [Read more...]
5 Things You Must Learn to DIY Before a Collapse
As we all know, after a major collapse, many important supplies will be hard to come by. This is why preppers stock up on essentials ahead of time. But while a lot of attention is given to stockpiling supplies, not much is given to making your own supplies. If you find yourself living through a long-term disaster, such as the economic disaster in … [Read more...]
How to Skin, Butcher, and Cook Wild Game
Are you one of the many preppers who plan on bugging out to the woods after the SHTF? I've heard many people say they plan on doing this (both in person and online), and most of them think they will hunt for food while they're at it. This always makes me cringe.

How to Reinforce a Shipping Container to Bury It (EMP Proof)
Other than a full-blown nuclear war, a widespread EMP (electromagnetic pulse) is probably the scariest thing that could happen. The whole world would be plunged into darkness, followed by months--if not years--of anarchy. Your best chance of surviving such an event is to hole in a shelter or bug out retreat that you can defend. If you do this, you'll … [Read more...]
What Does The End Of The World Mean For Preppers?
The main reason most people don't bother prepping for disasters is that they simply don't think a major disaster will ever happen in their town. Although I think they're probably wrong, this attitude is understandable. If you've lived your entire life without going through an earthquake, hurricane, civil unrest, hyperinflation, or anything like that, it's … [Read more...]
20 Pioneer Foods We’ll Be Eating A Lot After Doomsday
Ever since I saw Little House On The Prairie as a kid, I've been fascinated by how the pioneers lived. How could anyone be happy without indoor plumbing, central heating, microwaves, refrigerators, and televisions with dozens of channels? Well, not only were many of them happy, they were arguably happier than most people today, but I'm getting sidetracked. … [Read more...]
99 Relatable Things That Only Preppers Will Understand
You don't realize how much prepping can change your day-to-day life until you've been doing it for a while.
