The text below was written for the liberal forum over at the Prepper Forum Not only am I liberal among the prepper community but I am also a liberal living in Arizona. Talk about being a minority.

A little bit of spoof of Twilight Zone, a little spoof of the survivalist community. Which I hope they like the jokes, because they are probably the only ones who would get the jokes. Please note the character and jokes are fiction.

Below are some random notes I took at the survival school the other weekend. It is not all of the notes, the ones that should be their own subject/post I have not included. Think of it as random bits of wisdom. –The animals were skittish for it was a full moon. The bunny rabbits were [...]

I am starting to do some research into solar panels, because after the grid goes belly up then a little bit of juice would be a wonderful luxury. The problem with solar panels however is they are not easy to hide. You can’t exactly put big-ass panels hidden away in a corner because then they [...]

I wonder if the 2011 Survival conference is worth going to. Marks against it #1 It is in Dallas. #2 It will be people pitching me a bunch of stuff to buy. Much of it will seem necessary at the time. Even putting aside the obvious thoughts on how easy it is to sell fear, [...]
After 2.5 months of learning how to get ready and doing multiple experiments I came up with a need for duck tape. You would think that duck tape is one of the first things to stockpile or at least have around when doing prep work for the end times. After all, it is one of [...]
