Homesteading

Survival Eating: Part 2

We all bring skills, experience and education to the discussion, which is what makes our “neighborhood” so great. These assets differ by person and age group, but that adds to the diversity needed for new ideas and creating a balanced outlook.

Looking To Our Past – Part 2

Our forefathers have given us many tools and knowledge to survive and rebuild from a disaster. Whether it is soap making, gardening, woodworking or manufacturing gun powder, these are skills you may need in the near future.

Looking To Our Past – Part 1

We all know the stories about Daniel Boone, Davy Crocket, Kit Carson, Jim Bridger, Meriwether Lewis, William Clark, and many more too numerous to list; but how many have studied the skills and everyday chores that these men used to establish the United States as we know it today?

Survival Nutrition

Staying healthy in a survival situation should be at the top of your preparation to-do list. By maintaining health in an extreme circumstance you can better insure your own survival and that of your families.

Private Property: Control and Patrol

Private lands left uncontrolled and not patrolled will soon fall victim to trespassers, poachers, thieves, and no goods. Every year landowners, hunters, and others roll into their recreational camps, retreats or Bug Out locations only to find evidence of vandalism, theft, and outright meanness.

Survival Gardening: Part 2

The answer to everyone’s question is “No”, we are not too late to get started on our Survival Garden for this year, not for most of the population living in the United States and Canada. It keeps snowing on me here in Utah, so I’m still waiting.

Survival Gardening: Part 1

First of all what is survival? It is quite simply what we’ve all been doing since we were born. We provide for ourselves shelter, fire, water, medical, food, and social life, these are the foundation of our existence. Without these core principals, our very existence is at risk.

Book Review: LDS Preparedness Manual

Sometimes in life you get a pleasant surprise that makes you smile. Then there are times when you are so surprised that you gasp with joy. This was the case when I got the LDS Preparedness Manual and read it (Did we mention it is FREE).

Water Purification and Survival: Part 1

Nothing is more important to survival than a good water supply. Our body is made up of about 60-80% water and cannot maintain its efficiency without a minimum of its daily water requirements. The amount of water will vary depending on the climate and the amount of physical exertion.

Survival Debate: Which Dog is the King of Survival

A few months back we asked the question, Dog or No Dog? The overwhelming response was to bring the dog for a variety of reasons, excellent early warning system, close quarters fighting advantage, threat deterrent, companionship, and your emergency “last resort” supply of food.

Survival Debate: Home Stocks or Self Storage

A self storage facility sounds like a no brainer for any survivalist. You get a bunch of extra storage space for a few dollars a month that is away from most prying eyes. However, a self storage cache comes with it’s own security risks both day-to-day and Post-SHTF.
