It doesn’t matter if you’re a man, woman, dog or cat, anything with a heartbeat cannot survive longer than three days without water. We all need it and for that reason I count it is the most important supply to have in stock. In case of an emergency, such as a hurricane, the government recommends […]
Water. The majority of what we do in life needs water in some way. Obviously we need water for drinking. The average human can not live much longer than three days without water.

Being self-reliant is more than knowing how to make your own coffee if Starbucks goes out of business. It is more than storing food or knowing how to grow your own food. It’s more than harvesting rain water, or having lots of guns and ammo. It is more than reading a book on survival or […]

Cats and dogs. The most common of pets, a real part of the family. Just as you insure you have a prep plan for your husband, kids, sometime parents and inlaws, you must have a prep plan for your pets. You would be surprised how many people don’t plan for their pet in a time […]

That means as Americans we are eating, and eating well. Food portions have steadily increased over the last 20 years. In many […]
Think about the last time you helped someone you didn’t know? Was it today? Yesterday? Last month? It seems we have gotten so caught up in our own lives that we have forgotten about those around us. Now I am not referring to family and friends as we help them on a regular basis, or […]
Dog & Cat Poop Not For The Compost Pile
