After a major disaster, economic collapse or an all out war, modern medicine is going to be tough to come by. You won’t be able to run to the pharmacy when you have a headache or a fever. You won’t be able to get a prescription to fight an infection or ointments to help you heal quicker. It is a scary thought for some, but not all. People who have been studying ancient medicine know that our ancestors managed to survive without western medicine. Native Americans lived off the land and managed to cure a number of ailments without ever...

Of all the uses we have for electricity, keeping food cold is probably the most important use in the home. Keeping food cold, whether freezing or refrigerating it, is the most common method of food preservation in use today. We depend on it without thinking about it, much like many of the other conveniences we have in our modern society. But what if the power goes out? How would we keep that food usable? Most refrigerator/freezer units will keep the food inside good for about 48 hours, without power, assuming that the doors are closed. So that gives us a...

If you remember grandma giving you some weird concoction when you went to visit and complained of a cold or a sore muscle, you were lucky. Many of us have long believed grandma was a little senile or refused to get with the times.

Our grandparents learned those old fashioned remedies from their parents and their parents learned it from theirs and so on. If a remedy has been passed along for...

One of the worst disasters that can befall modern man is a loss of the power grid. Our modern society is addicted to electricity. Just about everything we do uses it in one way or another. While some of those things are extras that we can live without, there are sufficient necessities that are powered by electricity that a loss of electrical power can put us into survival mode. The thing is, it really doesn’t take much to cause a loss of the power grid, at least on a local level. We talk about EMP attacks and cyber-terrorism taking out...

Bugging out is a popular subject amongst prepper blogs and websites. It's really no wonder that it should be that way. Many of us are dreaming of a world where things are simpler, the government doesn't have their finger in everything we're doing and we can live our own life, much as our forefather's did. We'd probably bug out today, if we could. What would you say if I told you there were several thousand people, here in the United States, who are currently living a more-or-less permanent bug-out? Would you believe that's possible? Would you want to do it...
