I recently had the “pleasure” of working on a Sunday. And besides the fact that I was missing church, I expected this to be a half day. With that in mind I had not brought a lunch, or money to buy one. I know, I know, I know… “prepper did what”? Well in my defense [...] Too often people prepare by simply buying a lot of supplies in bulk and stuffing them in a box “just in case”. While some of the supplies need not be opened until needed, others may need to be opened and used frequently to understand their proper operation. For instance, in a bug out situation when [...] Well it’s the end of the year and sites all over the net are doing their roundups of the best of 2011. So here is our best of… Ecolante’s Best of the Web’s best of…. Lifehacker’s – Best Explainers of 2011 – This collection is sweet, they had some really good articles this year that [...] Just a thought, I have a couple of old Nintendo DS units. These units hold a charge for a decent amount of time with occasional play.

Each week, try a new recipe that can [...] When I came home from church on Sunday I was very hungry. I ate some left over chicken and started thinking about grid down survival. I decided to give the Esbit stove a try. I had some left over soup in the fridge and decided to give that a go. For this experiment I cooked [...] Now I am no expert, but I know enough to know that when the government starts a project out in the open it’s cover for something else. And even more so I bet the real project is not in the same location as this project. And this comes a day after the government begins laying [...] For many people the ritual of working every day includes purchasing coffee and/or breakfast from the local coffee chain. Lunch may come from the company cafeteria or perhaps a local eatery. It’s about preference, convenience, and culture. But what happens when that is disrupted? What if the coffee shop closes or the eatery goes out [...] As the weather gets colder, black ice, blizzards and general snowfall threaten interrupt our daily commutes. So what better time than now to update or create your winter car kit. A WCK is generally not much different than any other roadside kit, with the exception of a few specialty items. Evaluate your WCK now, before [...] |
