When I first began this blog I was trying to figure out the best place to loot after Law&Order no longer plays on reruns. My thought process was looting is not criminal when it is a matter of survival, I mean, everyone does it. After reading the prepper blogs I have come around to [...]

For years I have day-dreamed about getting my doctorate in Future Studies. There are several reasons I would find this interesting and I think my past history of teaching High School Social Studies in Mexico City and Damascus Syria, combined with the MBA and eight years working in financial Services helps make me a good candidate. [...]

This last weekend I took the Complete Survivor Class from Ancient Pathways. I picked up a whole series of skills to practice. Notice I said “practice” because, good lord, just cause I did these things once doesn’t mean I am actually competent at any of them. We set traps, snares, tracked, snacked on plants, [...]

I have completed the Phoenix branch of CERT (Community Emergency Response team) application form and mailed it in. If I don’t hear back from them then I am going to contact the Tempe branch. CERT is all about preparing people in their community to be ready when disaster strikes. To volunteer with them you have [...]

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, [...]

I have succesully turned Brittlebush and Creosote into medicine. I have yet to actually try either of the medicines yet. I am a little scarred they might kill me. I cut a large hole in the top of two thin rectangular boxes and dried the leaves and stems in the boxes. Creosote on top and Brittlebush below. [...]

Note: This posting was originally written as a submission for Pool Boy Magazine, the independent adult lifestyle magazine for badass women, and clearly a NSFW site. Hollywood loves to play with how our sexual morals will change after humanity falls. In reality, some women living in the end times will not want to get pregnant from just any [...]
Intro to prepper forums

I joined the American Prepper Network’s online forum. A “prepper” is a person who spends time and money on “prepping” for the end of the world as we know it (commonly referred to in these communities as TEOTWAWKI.) On a side note, a lot of acronyms float around this community, orginally I figured this might be the heavy [...]
