Are you ready to survive a 90-day quarantine? Is such a scenario even realistic? Well, let’s explore that.
I can’t think of a single person I know who wouldn’t love more sanity and peace in their life. But I suspect that very few of them would think of cutting coupons as a source of that sanity and peace, right?
Last Sunday at church, a guy gave a lesson to the whole congregation on financial preparedness and being financially prudent regardless of whether you’re struggling or not. His advice was timely and right on.
There’s nothing sadder to me than when I see someone who’s finally started taking steps to build up their food storage, only to hear that they’ve wasted tons of money by having to throw food out. I see folks buy foods regularly without being mindful of the best way to store it. More unfortunate is that folks are throwing away perfectly good grains when there’s no need to. The good news is that you don’t have to waste your food storage money this way. I’m going to show you how to maximize every precious buck! This article is to help you understand how NOT to waste all of that hard work and food storage money.
Here’s a valuable post from Colorado Preppers on Keeping Your Valuables Safe. It’s a three part series and definitely worth checking out! My favorite tip from Part 3 was to store important documents in a Pringles can and make sure Read more…
While I reported on the looming wheat shortage in detail several months ago, it has caught my attention again due to how quickly it’s coming upon us and how much worse it’s become.
A wheat shortage isn’t just confined to far off distant lands anymore. It has definitely hit America.
Oh my gosh! No wonder why more people don’t get involved with emergency preparedness! If you do an internet search on emergency preparedness, at least the first 20 pages of the links are downright BORING! Ugh! I’d rather actually be in an earthquake than try to live through another internet search on emergency preparedness again! Make Al-Qaida prisoners of war read government articles on emergency preparedness and you’ll have no problem finding Bin Laden in a heartbeat! Do these people get a raise for being boring? If so, then I can understand (more…)

The difference in personalities and decision making in the midst of an emergency is very much like a Jekyll and Hyde complex. Whether you’ll be Jekyll or Hyde in an emergency is up to you today. Which will you be?
If you’re like me, you’re an avid meat eater. I plan on having meat protein in at least one meal a day, even during an emergency. Rather than relying on my hunting skills or the availabilty of tasty game after a nuclear blast, a hurricane, or an earthquake, I’ve made sure to store chicken, turkey, SPAM, seafood, and beef. However, I got sick of paying $4 to $6 a pound real fast! I also didn’t really want to eat “jerky” for a whole year either. So I simply HAD to find out for myself whether or not it’s possible to can “bottle” meat. Sure enough, YES, it is. And it’s EASY to can meat!
I hate having to learn dumb lessons. Don’t you? As I’ve looked back and realized all the simple tricks and strategies I’ve learned over the last 10 years, I cringe at the thought of all of the money, time, anxiety, and energy I’ve wasted. So I decided to share them with you. You’re sure to learn something in this list! I hope you’ll learn from my mistakes NOW!
Many are reluctant to take food storage preparations seriously due to a fear that they will have to live merely on beans and rice. While I do enjoy a good meal of beans and rice, I’ll admit the thought of it makes me somewhat depressed. As a professional preparedness consultant, I can assure you that your meals need not be any less enjoyable during an emergency than they are now. You can truly anticipate meals that are fit for a king, even when you’re living off of your storable commodities.
