Survival:Beyond the Bug-Out Bag

Send us a text

Spring brings a critical transition period for anyone concerned with self-reliance and emergency preparedness. The warming weather signals it's time to reevaluate your supplies, update your plans, and reconsider your approach to personal safety in an increasingly uncertain world.
The warning signs at local grocery stores can't be ignored—shelves with growing gaps, eggs priced at $11 a dozen, increased security measures for everyday items, and fewer staff. These aren't reasons to panic, but practical indicators that thoughtful preparation now can prevent hardship later. As one prepper wisely notes, the goal isn't to hoard 500 packages of toilet paper, but to methodically build resilience through careful planning.
Power solutions deserve special attention, with more preparedness-minded individuals shifting to solar options that avoid the storage challenges and noise signature of gas generators. Food preservation strategies gain importance during power disruptions, with innovative approaches like utilizing medical-grade ice packs to extend refrigeration capabilities. The hierarchy of emergency food consumption (refrigerated items first, frozen foods next, and dehydrated supplies last) maximizes resources during extended emergencies. Don't overlook the importance of seasonings—spices like black pepper, cinnamon, and cayenne not only make survival food more palatable but also offer medicinal benefits.
Perhaps most significantly, the philosophy of preparedness continues evolving beyond political boundaries. The lone wolf survivalist model gives way to community-based resilience, recognizing that diverse skills within a prepared network provide greater security than any individual could achieve alone. As one preparedness expert bluntly observes, "You may have 10,000 rounds of ammunition, but if you break your leg and nobody helps you, you're going to get gangrene and die." True resilience comes from balancing self-sufficiency with strategic community connections.
Ready to strengthen your preparedness posture this spring? Check out resources like the Happy Prepper's "37 Foods to Hoard Before a Crisis" and consider which skills your personal preparedness network might be missing.

Prop 114 is causing, as expected, a lot of misinformation and upset, as well as a spike in gun sales to beat the arbitrary Dec. 8th deadline. Today we look at some of the negative impacts, the lawsuits moving forward as well as, an unexpected side effect.
A part of that has caused some misinformation concerning our Sheriff's Department and getting your CHL. We want to correct that. We stand behind Sherriff Sickler and his team and appreciate his long-term positive support. Time to step that back.

While fire starters and the latest solar toys are nice, a key part of Prepping includes planning your finances too. This week's latest round of bank failures and job losses brought that home to me. I want to share some suggestions and links with you too.
Let's look at "needs" compared to "wants", the importance of paying yourselves first, and just what high credit card interest rates do to your wallet, and self-esteem. It's a long road but a trip worth taking.
