I’ve been reading a great book over the last couple of weeks, “Molon Labe" that covers a lot of self-defense preparedness. In it the author reminds the reader several times that all fights are decided before the battle begins. The point being that it’s the level of self-defense preparation which takes place before a battle which determines the victor. To me that’s certainly what self-defense preparedness is all about—a way to ensure that we win as many of life’s battles as are...

Gotta Love That Pressure Cooker!
Two weeks ago I had to make a meal, pronto, for my husband and I. Since I had been writing most of the day, I hadn’t exactly planned anything. So at 4:30 p.m., I finally decided to rummage in my freezer to see what was available. I saw a freezer-burned ham bone. While that may not sound very appetizing to most of you, I assure you that freezer-burned meat is no problem when you have a pressure cooker. So I placed the ham bone in some water and a couple...

Let’s face it. A household that’s full of enough groceries and other household supplies to last a year isn’t exactly a common sight nowadays. In fact, I know many persons who would actually label such a person as a hoarder. However, they would be woefully incorrect in this assessment and I hope that many of you can shake off the negative stigma that such a label carries with it. If I were to pay my utilities a year in advance or save enough money to live off of for a year without incurring...

You’ve not doubt heard the saying “Prepare for the worst, hope for the best.” You could say that I live by this particular motto in my preparedness efforts. However, today I’m going to discuss with you a topic that I have never seen addressed in a preparedness venue—preparing for THE worst. What is the “the worst?”
More than 200,000 American women every year—in a time of relative calm, comfort, and civil order—are raped. Yet, in every crisis scenario which has EVER occurred in our nation’s...

As crazy as it sound, I periodically engage in debates with another person or a cause privately in my mind. Ok. Yes, sometimes I do say things out loud just to see how they sound. It’s how I formulate an articulate and sound argument on a particular issue. I think I started it as a teenager when I plotted how I was going to rationally get away with pushing the envelope with my mother’s rules. So, today, I am going to let you in on an argument that I’ve been having with myself and...

Fear? Stress? Breathe.
Fact: Most people, when exposed to a threatening, frightful scenario, will inhale and then hold it; when what they really should do is just breathe.
Have you ever heard some sudden disturbing news? What do you hear next? Inward gasps, right?
Take target shooting for example.
Shooting? Breathe
As a firearm instructor, you can imagine that I’m quite familiar with what a person does with their body when they are getting ready to shoot their firearm. They...

Looting is rampant despite relief sent to Haiti
I’m taking a pause from the Food Series to address what I feel is a timely and important issue in Haiti.
The biggest disaster to hit Haiti is unfortunately not the earthquake, rather it’s how the Haitian people are responding to the circumstances brought on by the earthquake. I watch in amazement as events more deadly than the earth’s rumblings brutally strangle a country that is already on its knees economically and socially.
I’m...

Author’s Note: Before reading this article, I want to be perfectly clear that my objective is not to “freak you out.” Mental Preparedness comes more readily when we allow ourselves to mentally picture scenarios and then allow our brain to strategically work on solving the anticipated problems. I hope this article does that for you today.
There’s no such thing as an opportune time for a trial, right? As such, it’s a bit naïve of us to think that if an EMP strike does hit, it will conveniently...

The Federal Reserve: The Conspiracy Players
Why is it important for you to really understand the Federal Reserve System in order to be better prepared financially? Well, it’s like I tell my firearm self-defense students—to be forewarned is to be prepared. I keep saying in my articles that the financial collapse is the disaster that is most likely to occur in our nation, and relatively soon. When I say that, it’s not with any intent to be a fearmonger. Rather it’s based upon my 15 years in the...

Food Shortages in the World
Man, sometimes I wish I could write like this. Then again, I bet some of you wish I did with all of the "supporting information" right there at your fingertips.
I would say "enjoy the article" but I'm not sure it's exactly an article one can "enjoy"
without the infringement of at least some concern. At least it will assist you in being better informed and aware.
