Welcome Preppers and Survivalists,

What Not to Buy?
First up is a link, thanks Say Uncle, from Cheaper Than Dirt's blog called The Shooter's Log about their idea of some survival items.

I agree ...

Not really. A spool of 550 cord would be nice, but it's not necessary. Same with the 'space' tent and the IDF assault bag. The 6 in 1 radio/flashlight might be cool, but ... how cheaply made is the radio/flashlight?

So

It's nice to save some cash on your preps, but make sure you are buying what you need (not want) and buying quality (not sh*t). Remember, you are staking you and your family's survival on your gear.

Needless to say, James Dakin's words always chimes in when it comes to spending money for preps and the types of preps to buy.


Don't Panic About Every Little Disaster
Of course, if I mention Bison Survival Blog once, I have to mention it again.

You and I don't have to panic for every little disaster, so says James Dakin.

Jennie @ Home
One of the blog readers was kind enough to become a member of this blog. Needless to say, I will, time to time, check out what other folks are reading. Well, Jennie had a blog listed called "--- Living Prepared ---" on her 'profile' page that she reads

I checked it out and "--- Living Prepared ---" had a article on chemical lights that you will be interested in.

Thanks, Jennie @ Home for the link and (if you can) leave a thank you for Yukon Mike at Living Prepared for the useful article on lightsticks
