Stockpiling provisions for possible disaster is just plain common sense.

We don't have a Survival Bunker, but we do prepare for possible disaster.

I guess you could say we were “Preppers”. If that means interested in preparing for possible disasters, and learning how to protect ourselves and our homestead from all threats, then yes, we are serious Preppers. 

However, we do not live in a bunker in the wilderness, surrounded by machine guns, waiting for the Apocalypse.

Preparing portable generators for the next disaster.

We are just ordinary folks, and we feel it is common sense to prepare to some degree for possible natural or man-made disasters.

Whether that means stockpiling canned goods and bottled water for the next hurricane, keeping our portable generators in working order, or preparing backpacks for possible survival on the road, we invite you to read all about family survival and decide for yourself what makes sense.

We have long been planning to construct a section in this website called “Survival Simplified”. I have been collecting information and articles, surfing the web for the best survival gear, and testing our own short-term survival plan (when hurricane Irma blew through here last month). I guess you could say we had a “wet run”.  🙂

So there I was, poised to write and publish a comprehensive survival section, when I found out that our close friends have recently launched a grand new survival planning section in their own website.

This outstanding resource includes precisely everything I wanted to put in our own survival page. So I decided to just refer you to their Survival Planning Articles instead.

Food & Water

  • So which Survival Foods are the best for you?
  • How can you easily treat water from a stream to make it drinkable?

You may have to defend yourself!
