How to Build Your Emergency Stash Without Going Broke

The Climate Isn’t the Problem. America’s Grid Is.
Whether you believe in climate change or not, there is something you need to know: America will soon face massive long-term power outages. Storms and climate aren’t the problem... the power grid is the problem. Our grid is not ready for what’s coming. They can blame the weather all they want, but...

10 Most Common Holes in Your Preparedness Plan (It’s Worse Than You Think)
Some people believe that any bit of prep is better than no prep. While it sounds great in theory, it isn’t necessarily true. The problem is that, if you haven’t lived through a catastrophic emergency, you can easily overlook things that you really need. Just recently, my family simulated a...

Food Independence Lessons from the Amish
Imagine a world where the supply chain crumbles and the grid goes down. For most of us, it would be a catastrophe. But for the Amish, it’s just another day. They'll keep on eating like nothing happened, because they’ve truly mastered food independence. With a population of about a quarter...

Do You Have a Survival Retreat Plan? If Not, Get One ASAP.
Wired recently published a report all about Mark Zuckerberg’s top-secret Hawaii compound, which includes a 5,000-square-foot survival bunker with two mansions, a series of tunnels, and a blast-resistant door. Whether we agree with Zuckerberg’s politics or not, we can agree with him on the need to prepare. And though most of us do not...

You Might Be Prepared, but the Government Sure Isn’t
Data shows that more and more Americans are preparing. The problem is, our government isn’t. Despite the growing—and more serious—threats to our country, our government hasn’t stepped up their preparedness game. They know about the dangers. They're even studying them. Yet, they have no plan in place. This should alarm every single...

Today is a day when many play lighthearted pranks on one another. I'm not much into making a fool of people, even on April Fool's Day. However, there is one prankster out there who doesn't wait for one day of the year, and who always takes the prank too far....

Should You Keep Your Garden on the Down-Low?

According to a University of Michigan internationally led study, “Fruits and vegetables grown in urban farms and gardens have a carbon footprint that is, on average, six times greater than conventionally grown produce.” The...

What Is Hollywood Really Preparing Us For?
On February 22, 2024, I was anxiously awaiting news that my sister-in-law safely delivered twins. The phone call didn’t come until long after the twins had arrived.
