The world of prepping is constantly evolving. Just look at how far technological advancements in the past five to ten years have come and how it has benefitted not only the military and law enforcement but the prepper community as well. But alas, with every technological advance, the prior way of doing things and that knowledge tends to slowly slip away into an abyss.

In essence, drones have become a force multiplier for not only the military but civilians as well. The “eye-in-the-sky” is the new way of performing reconnaissance, but is it always the best way?

War. Famine. Food and water shortages. Supply breakdowns. The list goes on and on as the mainstream news and social media serve the masses a steady diet of fear and impending doom. However, every dark cloud has a silver lining or two as well. After the Covid lockdowns, there seem to be at least two good things that came out of those crazy times.

First,

The future has become increasingly unstable for many of us in recent times. Therefore, it makes a lot of sense to work on building up an emergency food pantry that will allow you to survive for a very long time using your own food resources and preparing food that will last.

There are a number of food storage solutions that are designed to last for many years.

Heading out for an adventure with your mountain bike is probably one of the perks of owning one. As fearless as it sounds, you may still want to do a safety check for your experience to be good. You must be responsible when it comes to packing before you start your journey.

Prioritizing your safety, we have prepared a list of contents for survival kits that everyone should carry in a mountain bike ride.

If you are an avid prepper, disaster preparedness will definitely include readiness for a nuclear and chemical attack. These events are rare, but you cannot overlook their possibility, specifically in the prevailing volatile circumstances. Even newbie preppers are more conscious about prepping for a nuclear disaster because the threat is more real than ever.

There are mainly three types of bows that archers use: recurve, compound, and crossbow. Each comes with its perks and disadvantages.

Have you seen archery in the Olympics? Then you’ve probably seen the bows that the archers use. These are called compound bows. Don’t they look amazing?

If you have decided on getting a compound bow to start practicing archery after watching them shoot incredible shots, then you should know what you need to avoid doing with your compound bow.

Most people think that bunkers are only used during wars, however, they apply to everyday life and basements can serve as a survival shelter offering protection during an SHTF situation. If you’re thinking of creating a bunker, don’t just dig a hole in your backyard and set up an underground bunker. First, you should have a viable survival zone.

It's a quiet night at home - if your definition of quiet includes kid mayhem, the dog howling to go out, and you boosting the TV volume ever higher to drown out all this domestic tranquility.

Suddenly, darkness. Then, an eerie silence. Finally, the realization that the power is out.

Even the shortest energy disruptions can be unsettling, while longer outages are both frightening and dangerous. And once the lights are back on, relief comes with a nagging question; what about next time?

Many disasters that befall people and homes can be mitigated with some basic preparation. Every homeowner and family should have a disaster preparedness kit, complete with food and water, medications, flashlights, batteries, and an emergency tool or two.

As it may seem like a bit much, there are some tools that no prepper should be without.

Experiencing trauma in the form of natural and other disasters is something no child should go through without adult supervision. Even then, the long-term memories and effects this can manifest in your kids cannot be anticipated.

According to Science Daily research, kids can recall memories tracking back to as early as two-and-a-half years of age, whether they’re positive or negative.

Looking for ways to help your kids cope with and overcome disasters? Here’s what you can do to make the experience more manageable for them.

I like to think I have a pretty good sense of humor most days. Having a sense of humor I feel is necessary to get through life and on some days, your sense of humor could be the only thing saving you from losing it completely. Everyone has different ideas of what is funny but I hope you can agree with me that you must be able to laugh from time to time.

This Featured Video is by Dale Collett, an outdoor survival expert from the British Bushcraft School. Dale shows us the steps involved in building a debris hut shelter in the woods using ridges and dry leaves. You might be asking yourself why would you need to do this and the answer should be pretty simple to anyone who is viewing this site.

Today we are fortunate to have an interview with Richard Bryant, author of a new book titled "When There Is No FEMA". ‘When There is No FEMA’ is written as a non-fiction survivalist preparation and reference book intended to help the reader think clearly about preparedness to make their own decisions with their individual resource, experience and time constraints.

When there is no FEMA. What is it about and who is this book for? Well, as the subtitle implies ("Survival for Normal People During (Very) Abnormal Times")

I wrote an article a few days ago titled Pray for the Best but Prepare for the Worst and in it, I asked a question of the reader. The question was about how you view prepping. One of the possible suggestions was that you may look at prepping as some type of insurance policy. One of our readers, Larry had this to say:

“I like the idea of looking at prepping as a kind of self-insurance policy.

I was talking to my wife the other evening about several topics that are common to prepping. She started to make a point that in some cases, people who are into prepping either don’t show themselves in the most favorable light or outright repel others who might be interested in learning more about the subject of prepping by their actions.

How do you view the subject of Prepping? Is it a fear that keeps you up at night worried about your children or family members? Do you look at prepping as an exciting hobby where you get to buy a lot of gear and gadgets that you have been wanting for years?

No matter where you live, there are a number of things you can do right now to get ready for the off-grid life. One of the most important things to consider when living off-grid is power.

We have discussed the subject of a Get Home Bag before on the Prepper Journal, but in light of the winter weather snafu last week in the South I thought it was appropriate to revisit this topic. What started out as a normal day for a lot of people ended up being a long night because they were either trapped in their cars due to snarled traffic from the snow and ice or they were lucky enough to

The great thing about hindsight is all the wisdom it produces. How many of you have ever wished you could go back in time to a point in your life with all of the knowledge you have now? A lot of us would like to do High School or College over with the brains of our more mature selves.

This week's Featured Video is from FPSRussia who has a mostly comical but slightly practical take on the Top 3 Weapons to Survive the Apocalypse. Here FPSRussia breaks down their favorites and you get to see some aliens blown up in the process. There are no shortage of opinions on what is the best weapon for any given situation.

I love a good movie and when that movie makes me think it’s even better. One of my favorite movie genres is survival movies. I really enjoy seeing how others envision and then react to survival situations. Yes, there is an element of disbelief you have to suspend in some cases, but if you are looking for it, the best survival movies can teach you things.

If you don't have a winter emergency vehicle kit already prepared, you should make that one of your next prepper projects.

Most of you who follow the news remember several stories of people stranded in their cars during storms. I rememberin January 2014, of the plight of so many people in Atlanta that were stranded in their cars, forced to sleep on the floors of local stores, and a city that

This is a video I saw on another website that shows the basics of how to butcher rabbits along with all of the other details necessary to go from live animal to meat ready for cooking.

***WARNING: If seeing animals butchered upsets you, please do not watch!!!***

Rabbits are often listed in the top two animals for preppers to raise to either be self-sufficient or to augment their food supplies.

The mere mention of the words FEMA camps is bound to draw polar responses from our readers. Almost any topic that can be linked into a large list of what is routinely called conspiracy theories does that. It seems that no matter what the subject is if there is some form of mystery around it or the possibility that the subject is completely made up, you will have those who will argue passionately

avoid fema camps or any other camp for that matter for as long as humanly possible. What could compel you to go of your own free will? I think that there ar

There are dog people and there are the other people. Either you like dogs or you don’t and I think that it is perfectly fine to hold either opinion. Just like kids, there are some people who really want children and others who would rather not have a child in their lives at any time.

Survival books are what started me on my path to prepping.

For a long time now I have been meaning to post a list of prepper resources. I do have a lot already listed on our Resources page, but I hadn't really spent any time listing the resource books and materials that I recommend.

This list of the best survival books below is made entirely of books I own and have read.

Editors Note: I received this infographic from our friends at Rising S Bunkers, who specialize in underground bunker installation and fabrication. They conducted their own poll that questioned what average Americans believe could lead to a doomsday situation in 2014. The results are displayed graphically below.

There was a post from Tom Sciacca, owner of the Camping Survival site back in April of 2013 that listed the Top 50 things to disappear from Store shelves during an emergency. This post was compiled from a poll that Camping Survival ran on their page. In this poll, they asked all their fans what they felt the emergency supplies were that shoppers would swipe up first in an emergency.

There are so many lists of possible survival items that can be assembled together to achieve the perfect Bug Out Bag. Heck, we have even created our own bug out bag checklist that you can read here, but everyone has different items, preferences and requirements for what they feel is a complete and well-rounded kit.
