Now, I don’t wanna go all Mormon on ya’ll, but stockpiling food, learning to hunt/fish/garden, and learning to prepare survival meals are very important. The Mormons pride themselves on having at least one year of food stockpiled for each one of their family members. Now for regular “joe schmoes” like me (who are genetically predisposed to procrastination) it can sometimes be daunting to even keep my pantry full of a months worth of food.

I have found many resources on the internet that give great information about food storage, shelf life, and nutritional values. I implore all who read this (including myself) to educate yourself on these things and ultimately begin stockpiling your food and water supply. Global economic woes, natural disasters, or a full fledge wartime invasion would have devastating effects on the supply chain. As a father or husband we need to learn how to become self reliant and get past our natural tendencies to put stuff off until later.

There is so much to learn and so much TO BUY that if you don’t start now you will regret it down the road. This is precisely why we started this website… to get people (and ourselves) on the track to self reliance and survival readiness.

Big Stick, out.

From Xlibris.com “Patriots: Surviving the Coming Collapse is novel set in the near future that describes a full scale socioeconomic collapse. More than just an exciting read, it is packed with useful survival and preparedness tips. It was described by one reviewer as “A survival manual neatly dressed as fiction.”

This story is very well written and very easy to read. Rawles is an amazing writer and one of the premier Survivalists in our country. His blog www.survivorblog.com is an excellent source of information of survival techniques and ideas. It was also the inspiration for creating this website. Do yourself a favor and get this book!
