Browsing through the isles of my grocery store, on my mission of procurement (buying groceries), I often look for good items to stock for hurricane season, or other unfortunate circumstances. I stare longingly at the cans of SPAM (on sale this week, too!), sardines, canned fruits, and of course the beef jerky. Much of it […]

Sweet Green Mango Ceviche (And Easy Lime Hollandaise Sauce)
I’ve been VERY obsessed with fishing lately. The guys over at Back Water 2 Blue Water fishing club have been very instrumental in getting me on the water more, or at least providing opportunity to go out and learn to catch fish. Providing me the opportunity to go fishing is sort of like taking an […]
A (Not So) Dry Run (Tropical Storm Chantal)
I received a phone call from a life-long friend today. He called to check up on me, and to see if I was ready for the hurricane (his words, not mine). As simply replied with, “Oh, there’s a storm coming? What do You think?” This should tell you two things about me:
There is a Little Prepper in All of Us (I Hope!)
I was over at a friend’s place a while back, and I I saw something they didn’t realize I spotted…and I don’t know that they would have wanted me to notice what they had been doing. Realizing what it was, I did what any trustworthy friend would do, I took
Forming a Prepper Group is Silly
“Prepper”, and “prepping” have started to become what the term “survivalist” was a few decades ago, the term for someone that tries to be ready for some radical calamity. From the “mainstream” point of view, preppers are a bit odd at the least, and nut jobs on the far end of the scale. I know […]
I am Just Like Superman (And Eating Dried Morels)
I’m usually “that guy” folks call on to resolve a problem. I’m the one folks say they will go to if TSHTF. I am a rock during a crisis, it seems. Clark Kent, mild mannered man by day, but when the need arises, he dons his tights and a cape then proceeds to save the […]
Guest Post: Four from RidgeRunner of Green Earth Survival School
Today, I have four selections from RidgeRunner’s Green Earth Survival School Facebook page today. RR puts out some of my favorite down to earth articles. Must be the common backgrounds we share, having both grown up in the rural Appalachians. Bone Tools I really enjoy working with
The Newest Advertiser to FloridaHillbilly – JM Bullion
JM Bullion is a well known name in precious metals for the preparedness circles. I’m fairly sure there aren’t many of the larger sites regarding homesteading, survival, preparedness, or frugality that JM Bullion aren’t known as a trusted source for all precious metals (that are not copper-jacketed lead). I was honored when they contacted me about
Choosing a Firearm Caliber – Common vs. Uncommon?
With the recent string of attacks on our Second Amendment freedoms, the supply and demand model has reared it’s ugly head. With the possibility of removing or simply restricting our freedoms to own and use firearms, everyone that ever thought of getting a gun has come out of the woodwork and started a feeding frenzy. […]
My Bookshelf – Back To Basics
As I’ve mentioned before, there are a lot of self-sufficiency, survival, or homesteading books that I own. I will list each book one at a time, and will consist of books I own and consider a resource to rely on. Some are on my Kindle, others are paper pulp, but all are worth reading for […]
