Prepper Outreach Contest Submission A couple of months back my wife called me to watch a new program called “DOOMS DAY PREPPERS.” All she said was just watch it then lets talk, well talk we did. We have been prepping for over 3 years, my wife is really great at Read more…
Prepper Outreach Contest Submission I have dabbled in prepping for a long time but have only recently put forth a serious effort to become truly self-reliant. Several years ago while I was in graduate school I found myself unable to work as much as I had planned and thus Read more…
Prepper Outreach Contest Submission Why a self-reliant lifestyle? My mother had always taught us to be frugal. Always check the sales/clearance racks first when shopping, clean your plate, never do less than a full-load of laundry, cook from scratch, etc. I remember the occasional treat to eat out. We always Read more…
