Many people think that all Preppers do what they do because they think that the end of the world is coming. While this may be true for some, many preppers also prepare for everyday events and disasters.
As I sit watching the news over the last few days, I see people who were killed and injured in a bombing in Boston. Then yesterday another explosion close to where I live in Texas levels almost an entire town, killing at least 5 and as many as 15, injuring hundreds and leaving thousands without a place to live. There were thousands that were told to evacuate in a matter of minutes. One lady didn’t even have on any shoes and was loaned a pair. [APN] |

The timing of the Boston Bombing with the national partisan gun control debate is a collision of two events that is hard to overlook when you take into account the very real Katrina-style imposition of Martial Law which descended so quickly on the city of Boston last week.
Would the federal government use an opportunity like that of the Boston Bombing in order to grab residents’ guns under the guise of national security? |

Instead of another long written post about bug out bags, we thought we’d put one out there in pictorial form. Hope this gives you a few ideas on items you haven’t checked off your bug out bag checklist quite yet. We know one bug out bag isn’t right for every occasion, but this is how we are packing our bags for a TEOTWAWKI scenario.
And please, let us know if you think we missed anything, or if you’ve discovered a better solution then we have for some of the challenges to bugging out. New products are always hitting the market, and we’d like this page to be a resource for people that stays current. [LINK] BE SURE TO CEHCK OUT OUR 954 SURVIVAL BOOKS, MANUALS, GUIDES AND MORE! |

Driving during a tornado warning is an extremely dangerous situation, so make sure you are prepared if you find yourself driving when a tornado strikes. While the best advice is to avoid driving at all during a tornado and remain somewhere low and fortified, you may unfortunately find yourself on the open road in a match of wits with a fierce, churning funnel of wind. Listed below are some good things to know in case a tornado appears nearby while you are driving. [APN] |

The surge in gun and ammo purchases that began after Sandy Hook and continued through the Senate's failed gun control vote appears to have picked up steam again following the Boston Marathon bombing.For example, at the Syracuse Gun Show on the New York State Fairgrounds last weekend, so many people showed up that some had to wait in line more than two hours just to get into the gun show. Those that waited did so on a windy day, amid sleet and snow flurries. |

Do you want to know what life is like when your country, state or city transitions from relative peace and prosperity to a land plagued with violence, murder, bombing, kidnappings for ransom, and the absence of law & order? We need only look to our southern neighbor, Mexico, where tens of thousands of people, many of them innocent bystanders, have been killed over the last several years. The majority of the blame falls on drug cartel activity, but has its roots in the collapse of the country’s economy due to corruption and greed. While the United States is not nearly as dangerous as Mexico, with millions of people in this country being forced out of jobs, out of their homes, and into poverty, much of what we see happening there today may be ‘normal’ on our own streets in just a few short years. When the danger is right outside of your front door, how will you survive? The following strategies and tips can provide you with some effective methods for keeping your family safe in a world where insanity rules the day. {EDTHATMATTERS} |

Today at BoingBoing, Maggie Koerth-Baker has a fascinating Q&A with communications engineer and entrepreneur Brough Turner about how mobile-phone networks respond to sudden spikes in call volume, as occurred April 15 in the aftermath of the Boston Marathon bombings. Mobile phones are everywhere, but beyond spotting the odd cell tower here and there, few of us understand how they connect up to the rest of the world, and the Turner Q&A does a nice job of breaking down the complex infrastructure in simple terms. |

When society is affected by a natural disaster, the community comes together, others reach out assistance, and everyone works together to regain stability in life. No one can protect himself or herself from a disaster, it is completely imminent and typically it is a “luck of the draw” type situation.
As we look throughout history, it is true that many new business models arose after a hardship or time of need. Mother Nature would affect society and we would be forced to restructure our lives. We would have to start over from the ground up. This proved to be beneficial because it allowed new types of creative ideas to blossom, and it allowed cities or companies to gain a better name, because many were sub-par.
When it comes to a natural disaster, areas can be devastated for miles on end. When this happens, smart business owners will swoop in to “save the day” and the top priority in a community is now disaster restoration. Disaster restoration plans will then include a plethora of services and options for the landscape, structures, and the society as a whole. {APN} |

During Barack Obama's presidency there have been 32 background checks for gun purchases every minute.
Since February of 2009, the first full month of Obama's presidency, there have been 70,291,049 background checks for gun purchases, according to data released by the FBI.
Using February 1, 2009 as our starting date, and March 31, 2013 as our end date, (the latest data from the FBI) Obama has been president for 1,520 days. |

Some still insist that climate change is a hoax, but the vast majority of Americans believe the globe is warming, a new survey finds — and they want to prepare for the worst. In fact, even 60 percent of climate-change doubters favored preparations, the survey found. Researchers collected opinions between March 3 and March 18 via an online questionnaire, using a nationally representative sample of 1,174 American adults, both English and Spanish speaking.
The survey asked about climate-change beliefs and support for adaptation strategies to help coastal areas cope with the rising sea levels and frequent, intense storms that a warmer world could bring. The results showed that 82 percent of Americans are in favor of preparation. |

For most of us our call to prepping came suddenly. A weakness was exposed and we were shocked to find just how vulnerable our families had been, like the left hook you don’t see coming. The early stages are very much a selfish endeavor. Food storage, water collection, stocking supplies, stacking silver and the various other procurements involved in creating your new guard against disaster. Before long and this is subjective to the person, you begin to realize that in order for this effort to be successful it has to happen on a larger scale.
To build and strengthen a community in preparation for whatever may come down the road is the key. Communities are the cornerstone of all civilizations. The fact is we have forgotten to nurture our own. Instead of dealing with social issues, food and shelter we have pawned our responsibilities off on the government. Don’t fool yourself we are all very much responsible for the state of the nation today. So the question is: how do you get a neighborhood to buy into preparing and the work that comes with it.

Preparation for disaster, whether natural or man-made, should be as vital as any ideal found in the various practices of religion and spiritualism. Preparedness should be treated with reverence, discipline and duty. The drive for preparation should be seated in the very heart of humanity. As individuals and as a society, we should hold preparedness dear, for it is an expression of the desire for survival and the key to maintaining our inherent freedoms. Without self-sufficiency, we set ourselves up for endless failure and enslavement.
Preparedness must be approached with passionate resolve; otherwise, there is no point. Halfhearted survivalists are just as likely, if not more likely, to get themselves killed as the average oblivious urbanite and suburbanite. Unfortunately, even in the liberty movement, I have come across many halfhearted and lazy survivalists who would rather hope for the best than prepare for the worst. [ALT-MARKET] |

Preparing for the worst can be exhausting.While generally speaking, preparedness activities and awareness provide peace of mind for me, there are days that I just don’t want to see another mylar bag or read the next scary headline trumpeting our imminent collapse.
Both mentally and physically, the activities that make up the everyday life of a prepper can take a toll. If you aren’t gardening or preserving food, you’re practicing marksmanship or other vital skills. You’re reading alternative news websites and piecing together the information as it applies to you and your family. Some folks are worrying about their locations, their retirement accounts that they are unable to access and their loved ones that remain unconvinced of the need to prepare. [LINK] |

A lot of people would like to be part of a “Group” but don’t know how to find like minded people. This article will attempt to give you some ideas and starting points. First I think you have to decide what type of group you are looking for and decide how much time you have to devote to it. [MSO] |

City and county officials have pleaded for permanent flood protection as residents along the Red River in Fargo and neighboring Moorhead, Minn., were told to prepare for one of the top five crests in their history.
The latest National Weather Service outlook includes a 50 percent chance that the river would top 38 feet later this spring, which would surpass the fifth-highest crest of 37.34 feet in 1969. Fargo Mayor Dennis Walaker says the city will "do whatever's necessary" to protect residents, but believes the only solution is a proposed $2 billion diversion channel. |

The news is in and there’s a natural disaster (heading your way. Or maybe you just want to stock up on your emergency survival gear ahead of time -- a wise choice.
Many of the items you really need already will have been ransacked at most grocery and convenience stores, but the dollar store is likely the last thing on anyone’s mind, so you can probably get most, if not all of what you need without the typical last-minute chaos. And whether you’re grabbing a few things at the last-minute or preparing ahead of time, you’re going to save yourself a lot of money. [LINK] |
