Breaking Commercial Food Dependency
One of my goals in homesteading is to reduce the amount of commercially produced foods used in our home. Nearly anything you can buy at the grocery store can be made at home often with the tools and equipment you already have. It can be less expensive and always tastes better – but it takes a little practice. Breaking commercial food dependency is just another step to self-sufficiency and a way to control what goes into your family's food. Breaking commercial food dependency is important. When most people think of homemade, they think of cookies and sweets at the holidays; [...]

Lock Picking For Preppers
On TV you see Sherlock Holmes, private detectives, CIA agents, and criminals picking locks. They make it look easy, like it takes no effort at all. But lock picking is one of those skills that you have to practice by picking locks over and over again, repeatedly, until you become proficient. Unfortunately this isn't exactly a skill that is easy to practice in the open. You can't go to your neighbors home and practice on their front door, and if you do, you are liable to get shot or the police may be called to stop you. It is not [...]

After the Fall: Jason’s Tale – Book Review
I listen to a lot of audio books during my work day and commute. The ones that I like are added to the Prepper Fiction page on this site. There are a lot of books that don't make the cut. But I added one this week written by David Nees, titled After the Fall: Jason's Tale. As you can guess from the title, the main character is a man named Jason. After an EMP attack he is suddenly alone in life. His wife was on a commercial airline, that most likely dropped out of the sky when the EMP hit. [...]
Survival Seeds From Hometown Seeds

But, stockpiles run out. They're only meant [...]
Body Armor to Help You Survive a SHTF Situation
No matter how carefully and thoroughly you have prepped for a SHTF situation, if you get shot you will probably die. That is why you need to think about some sort of body armor to protect you. We covered some options in the Tactical Vest post recently, but that was more about preparedness and having quick access to your essentials. This post is about physical protection. Body Armor Level There are many different types of body armor, defined by the type of bullets they protect against. Here is a table that displays the levels: Armor Level Protection Material Type [...]
