Forget 1984, We’re Facing a Brave New World

Forget 1984, We’re Facing a Brave New World By Eta Onrish for The Organic Prepper I see quite frequently, people warning that the US is becoming an ‘Orwellian nightmare,’ or that we’re living in a country that’s fast becoming a new 1984. I think they’re wrong. It’s worse. We here in the US look at what China’s doing as if they’re on a reality TV show. Seeing what they’re doing with surveillance and their social credit system as if we’re watching some kind of dystopian entertainment series fashioned after the George…

Freedom and Liberty | Uphold it or Lose it by Ken Jorgustin for Modern Survival Blog A recent comment on the blog reads, “The founding fathers considered government to be a threatening force, possibly an institution difficult to shed, and one that could stand in the way of personal freedom.” Which is probably why there are so many quotes out there from the “founding fathers” themselves regarding this very issue. Here are just a few: The natural progress of things is for liberty to yield and government to gain ground. Thomas Jefferson,…

Survival Cooking When The Electricity Goes Out by Ken Jorgustin for Modern Survival Blog Alternative Ways To Cook Food Without Power Most people rely on a electric stove for cooking at home. For the sake of preparedness (without electricity), you might consider other “survival cooking” methods. Not all foods require cooking. For example, commercially and home “canned foods” can be safely eaten without cooking because the canning process has eliminated harmful bacteria. Pro Tip: “Not all foods require cooking.” In fact you should think about that when diversifying your preparedness food storage! However…

How to Prepare for a Flu Pandemic by Tara Dodrill for The Survivalist Blog Flu pandemics can affect a significant portion of the population before a government health agency even realizes the cases of a rapidly spreading illness are connected.

During normal times, a flu pandemic has the capability to kill tens of thousands of people over the course of a few short weeks or months. During a long-term disaster, the…

A Prepper’s Guide to Tires by Megan Stewart for The Survivalist Blog If you’re not mechanically inclined, you may not give much thought to the importance of tires for your vehicle, other than keeping them properly inflated.

Smart preppers keep their gas tank close to full at all times by filling up if they get down to half a tank instead of when the gauge hits empty. Other important…

Randolph Jason

Common Summertime Medical Ailments by Dr. J. for Survival Blog I’m a board-certified family physician currently working as an urgent care provider in the southeastern United States. I really enjoy the work and split my time between a larger urban urgent care center and a small rural ‘fast-care’ facility about an hour outside the city. I grew up rurally and having always enjoyed country living and the self-sufficiency that comes with it, this also led to my interests in preparedness and survivalism. One of the most important aspects of preparedness…

Can You Live Without a Fridge?

Can You Live Without a Fridge? by Megan Stewart for The Survivalist Blog Can you live without a fridge? I posed this question to my teenage daughter and her immediate response was, “why would someone want to live with no fridge?” I imagine many people might respond the same way. But there are people doing it. Some by choice, some not. Many people in impoverished countries live without a fridge every day. And yes, there are some people choose to live without traditional refrigeration simply because they can. So it…
