A quick scan revealed some nice lists and articles for food storage and other areas of preparedness. And the price is right.
Let’s see. We narrowly avoided wiping out every plant in North America. Anyone concerned, yet? Didn’t think so.
This deserves a new Category. Corporate Insanity.

Ughh. Read the story at the link to see why the “Ughh.”
First control the government by controlling the creation of the money. Next, control the people by controlling the food supply. Only took ‘em a century to achieve total global domination. Not bad.
Wonder if anyone cares?

• Collect and assemble disaster supplies kit.
• Learn where to seek shelter from all types of hazards.
• Identify the community warning systems and evacuation routes.

Sorry for the spotty attendance. Every piece of technological hardware from my laptop screen to the CAT5 cable to my router went haywire. All in the last 10 days. Two years of high reliability, made up for in a bit over a week.
More posts are on the way. Just wanted to [...]
You might want to read Deep Survival by Laurence Gonzales before you answer.
The book is easy to read. But be ready. It might blow away some of your notions about what it take to survive. Here’s a hint from the book. “The Rambo types are the first to go.”
The first part [...]
Got that sinking feeling? The world looks to be ready for some drastic lifestyle altering changes.
How do you get ready?
Here’s what I’ve decided.
Ultimately, humans are going to end up abandoning the 10,000 plus year agricultural revolution. There’s a bunch of “nuts” out there making some good points as to why this is going [...]
In The Wake blog has some good posts about post-collapse issues. Recent posts include alternatives to oil, post-collapse trade (sounds like something a friend and I were talking about last night) and windpower.
Browse the left column for some very practical articles on birth control, health, survival basics, communications, transportation and more.

Sleeping bags. One for each member of the family.

I just stumbled across this great little blog called The Anthropik Network. Jason Godesky appears to run it.
His thesis series on the collapse of civilization is really neat. What I like is that he’s using some very clear thinking. No politics. And he offers good arguments as to why collapse of [...]

I’m finishing up a very short, high level overview of self sufficiency. Basically, a description of the ways I’m looking at being self sufficient. My hope is that it will be a good starting point for thinking about where in your own lives you need to prepare to be self sufficient.
It is a [...]

A short blurb on what to do to get disaster planning started for your family. Basic information. Maybe more people are getting the message that they need to take responsibility for their own lives?
Lawlessness in New Orleans: Truth or Fiction? by Michael S. Rozeff
Fascinating article with some disaster history. The author writes about how people have reacted to past disasters. Then comments on New Orleans.
One of his suggestions is that the Emergency and Relief personnel have timid managers. People will, including ordinary citizens, when left [...]
