Preparedness – Four Horsemen Adventures and Preparedness

The Bag and Calories.

In “The Bags” we store a collection of items intended to make sure we get home, get out of the area or make it through our localized crises. An imperative aspect of the bag is food and food preparation. Without a caloric intake we start to lose energy and then our abilities to complete task.

Go Medical Kits

An aspect of prepping I have always critiqued was our desire to have all the go-fast gear or gear that requires a more in depth understanding of how to use (Tourniquet carriers I am looking at you) and yet we do not train on it. For the previously mentioned tourniquet carriers, when do we applyContinue reading “Go Medical Kits”

“The Bag” Fire Kits

For my regular readers you know how much I love redundancy. In unison with my desire to have redundancy I have found a way to use a product I carry mainly to treat blisters to also start a fire later in the day. I use Cotton balls dipped or rubbed in Petroleum Jelly to assistContinue reading ““The Bag” Fire Kits”

Are Tools Overlooked As A Prep?

The ability to do many household repairs myself is an invaluable prep. While my skillset in these areas are limited in every area such as plumbing, electrical and structural. The ability to repair things around the house could become invaluable in a post societal collapse world. To complete many repairs tools are either required orContinue reading “Are Tools Overlooked As A Prep?”

Handheld Amateur radios Kenwood D74A, Yeasu VX-6R, and WOUXUN KG-UVD1P

A short time ago I posted a blog titled “Vulnerable Communications network, back up comms?” I discussed a few of the reasons I believed having a backup communications network would be beneficial. As a licensed General Class Amateur Radio Operator or also commonly known as “Ham Radio” Operator one of my favorite radios is theContinue reading “Handheld Amateur radios Kenwood D74A, Yeasu VX-6R, and WOUXUN KG-UVD1P”

Find My IPHONE to assist in times of crisis?

Members of my family had shared our locations via an IPHONE feature some time ago. This was initially done for my brother’s road trip a few years ago and we had never turned it off. Generally speaking my family is pretty tight knit and I don’t see it as an invasion of privacy like IContinue reading “Find My IPHONE to assist in times of crisis?”

Texas Snowpocalypse

During the week of February 14th, 2021, the state of Texas experienced a winter storm some call “Once in a lifetime.” I personally feel that we have experienced similar storms. I have been labeled as “Essential Personnel” since 2009 and this is the third storm, I have been through that resulted in snow, ice, andContinue reading “Texas Snowpocalypse”

Vulnerable Communications network, back up comms?

In a recent blog I discussed the vulnerabilities of the power grid in America. On December 25, of 2020 the United States of America experienced a unique attack. The attack was unique and terrifying for many reasons. An interesting aspect of this attack is it did not cause a large loss of human life. ContraryContinue reading “Vulnerable Communications network, back up comms?”

Stockpiling Cash, Gold and Silver for Civil Unrest?

Recently on an internet forum a discussion in regards to how much cash to have on hand caught my interest. This topic is interesting to me because I disagree with most people on this topic. I do not think cash, gold, silver or other precious metals will have a place in a societal collapse environment.Continue reading “Stockpiling Cash, Gold and Silver for Civil Unrest?”

Back Up Power?

The power grid is perhaps the most vulnerable place to attack on American soil. Power outages are often caused by squirrels, lightening, water, snow and ice, automobile accidents and even planned maintenance. In my younger and less wise days I never worried about power outages. After all, “I am a man, a lone survivor andContinue reading “Back Up Power?”
