Survival Without The Disaster Attached
By · Comments
This is going to be a bit different from my normal posting. This is my story of surviving the normal day-to-day life of raising a family. Specifically this is about surviving in a house with two teenage boys that are always hungry.
If this sounds even remotely familiar, bear with me as I setup the scenario facing me earlier today. It was late morning and my youngest son walked in to inform me that he was "starving".

First aid bags may be something that most people don't really think about until they need them. They get purchased and then they sit, unused, for a long time. Just like a fire extinguisher, it is something that you have and hope will never need to use.

There is no way of predicting when there might be an accident, and if you have no medical supplies on hand, you might be in trouble. Cell phones have made it possible to call 911 from almost anywhere, but that doesn't mean help will always arrive immediately. Read More→
No Fail Options for Survival Rations
By · CommentsIn a survival situation, water is one of the most important items you can have in your kit. Another item in my top three is food. Specifically I am talking about survival rations. Since we are looking to cover ourselves for an initial 72 hour period, we have a few options to consider. In my opinion, these include MREs, freeze dried and ration bars.
I realize that there are other options available. I personally like these because they meet 3 basic requirements for our survival bag. Read More→
