People new to prepping and those who have been involved in it for some time are always being subjected to suggestions about the composition of “bug out bags.” No bag is complete without this. If you don’t have that in your bag, you’re not going to make it. And so on. Look, everyone who has spent […]

For thousands of years, mankind has been trying to predict the way in which the world as we know it will come to an end. Some look at the story of Noah and the Flood in the Bible and predict that the end of times will come in the form of a major religious event. […]

While the mainstream media tries to paint a positive picture of economic recovery taking place in our country right now, there are some disturbing signs that a 2008-like economic meltdown is on the horizon. The U.S. GDP grew at its worst rate in three years during 2017’s first quarter, with a seasonally adjusted annual rate […]

If you find yourself in an emergency situation, something as mundane as staying connected and being able to communicate can be the difference between survival and death. If the emergency was caused by an EMP, staying online can become particularly complicated but if you have the right knowledge — and a tin can — it doesn’t have […]

Canned goods, flashlights, a first aid kit, and drinking water — if you have these in a survival situation, you’re good, right? Yes, probably — but add just a few more items to your survival arsenal and you can go from surviving to actually thriving, even during an emergency. These 10 items are not only affordable and […]

Disarming American citizens has never been easier, at least in Los Angeles, California, where hundreds of local residents recently lined up to hand over their firearms in exchange for Target gift cards.

This story has been updated with additional input from Paul Craig Roberts to correct an earlier version of the story. In an article entitled, “Are You Ready to Die,” author Paul Craig Roberts argues that it’s only a matter of time before Russia launches a nuclear strike on the United States and wipes out millions […]

Since the beginning of film itself, Hollywood has produced hundreds of apocalyptic movies about everything from zombies taking over the world, to alien invasions, to giant meteors striking the earth. But while these types of films are highly entertaining and give us all an excuse to use our imaginations, could any of it happen in […]

The younger generation may or may not know this, but at one time there were hundreds of video stores across the country called Blockbuster. On a Friday or Saturday night, it was common for people to go to Blockbuster and rent a VHS movie in a way that was similar to how one checks out […]

Many Americans rarely if ever consider the issues of fundamental survival. By “survival”, I do not mean having a successful career, a low rate mortgage, a savings account, pension fund, nest-egg, etc. These are illusory means of survival in an economy not based in reality, but held together by deceptive government policies and a general […]

Following the global collapse of the world’s financial system, which no one knows when will happen but many believe is inevitable given the massive debt held by the world’s biggest economies, the concept of “money” will change virtually overnight. Like post-World War I Germany, when hyperinflation made the currency – the mark – so devalued […]

A mild winter graced the plains and the Midwest, luring farmers to plant early and causing winter wheat to sprout sooner. As of April 23, a quarter of the Kansas wheat crop had headed, outpacing the five-year average of 17 percent. Everything looked promising. Abundance was predicted, but a larger, unexpected force of nature reared […]

Living the prepper lifestyle is not limited to just certain times of the year, since at any given moment a human-caused or natural disaster can strike. Whether it’s an act of war, political turmoil, a tornado or massive flood, we should always be ready to respond to any emergency. But generally speaking, the weather is […]

Preparedness is about covering all the bases. If and when you find yourself in the middle of a crisis, you want to make sure you’ve got it all. Food, water, medical care, a means of protecting yourself — these are considerations that you may have already taken care of in your prepping plan. But, there […]

A report on Monday claiming that the North Korea may have an orbiting nuclear weapon that can destroy the U.S. power grid with a single electromagnetic pulse was enough to send tingles down the spines of millions of Americans who read the story. As noted by Breitbart News, the head of the Task Force on […]
