You might think of things during any time of the day (or night!). The thing is, how to remember things… and to be…

Randolph Jason

The #1 Most Neglected Survival Prep: Fatigue Management by Grizzlyette Adams for The Organic Prepper Dealing with a disaster is often exhausting and staying alert can be especially challenging during a prolonged crisis. However, strategies to stay in top form during and after calamities are not something that most people think to include in their emergency preps. Sleep deprivation, stress, and other issues that are commonly associated with disasters often lead to survivor’s burnout.  If not properly managed, this fatigue can compound existing problems when the crisis lingers for days,…

Do You Enjoy Last Minute Preparedness Right Before A Storm? by Ken Jorgustin for Modern Survival Blog How many of you are like this? I know that it’s true for me… When there’s a potentially major storm coming (usually having been forecast), I enjoy the last minute preparations and the event itself. Why is that? There’s an amount of excitement during the last minute process of readiness before a storm. Maybe it’s a winter snowstorm that’s going to dump a lot of snow. Or maybe a high wind event. A…

How To Prepare For Sleeper Cells by Ken Jorgustin for Modern Survival Blog Current Events: Top Iranian General Salami Soleimani Terminated in US Drone Strike.

Living Off The Grid

Randolph Jason

Living Off The Grid by V.F. for Survival Blog When I was a child, my mother moved to a very remote area of Eastern Washington and we lived off the grid. This was long before the term had been coined, as far as I know. The property did not have a house. We lived in a little travel trailer.

Randolph Jason

Survival Hunting – Lessons Learned by O.V. for Survival Blog I’ve hunted since the late 1970s and I thought I’d pass along some knowledge I’ve accumulated albeit not in a polished format, but more of a “if you just want the answer to the test format.” It will probably come across a little bit choppy reading, but I want to hit the high points and mention the low hanging fruit.
