Ok guys, I’m stoked about this new project – I’m calling it the “2-Can Slam” DIY Stove. Truth is, I’m probably most excited about this stove because it is dirt cheap to make.   If you have the right tools, you could make this thing for free easily – and it’s more than likely you’ve already got most (if… Read More

Alright, so we’ve been selling survival gear for a long time now, and with that comes all our wisdom and experience…as well as all our observations of the types of preppers out there. We see your faces, we read your comments, we talk about your lives, and, well, we’ve come to the realization that each of you is your own,… Read More

Coffee filters are probably one of my favorite inventions ever. There’s nothing like a good, strong cup of java to get my energy up and my brain whirring. However, what I’ve been recently realizing is that coffee filters have a ton more uses than just keeping the grounds out of my coffee.   In fact, these… Read More

    Ok…I’ll be honest – I’m not exactly excited to write this blog about how to cook a snake. Why? Well, it’s probably because snakes sort of freak me out. Maybe it’s the way they slither…or the creepy way they stare at you (like this one in the picture…gives me the shivers). Well anyway, the… Read More

  There may not be one “ultimate survival tool” – but trash bags come pretty close when it comes to versatility. Turns out there’s a ton of stuff you can do with a trash bag (besides store trash of course), that is actually handy for survival. Plus, the great thing is they fold up really compactly and store easily… Read More

Ok everybody, it’s time to talk about another wild, wacky survival tool you would never expect to help you if SHTF…today’s topic: the tin can! But seriously, although it seems strange, there’s a surprising amount of survival uses for tin cans. Not only can you use these in your home, but they’re also attributable to camping,… Read More

I’ve been a prepper for many, many years – and, naturally, there’s a lot of mistakes I’ve made that I wish I had known to avoid before I started prepping. I began prepping long before most Americans got into it, and unfortunately didn’t have Google or blog posts or YouTube at the time to help… Read More

I believe one of the most important things you can do as a prepper (or as a cautious human being, really) is know where to hide your money.  This one isn’t difficult to understand – you’ve worked hard for that cash and saved it; therefore, you should make sure it’s hidden in a secret place. This should… Read More

I have been itching (literally) to write a post about how to keep spiders away…mostly because I find them to be creepy and ugly (not to mention walking through their webs makes my skin crawl). Plus, just one bite from certain species of spiders can either injure you or become fatal. However, I do recognize… Read More

Why spend thousands on a technological home security system (that might glitch out or break down altogether) when you can simply use these DIY home security hacks we’re giving you in this blog? Many people are so focused on prepping food, water and shelter for a SHTF situation that they completely  drop the ball when it… Read More
