By Jeffrey Green Food prices are getting out of control. As meats, dairy, and eggs climb to record high prices and over 50 million Americans are now on public food assistance, family budgets are being stretched like never before just to survive. Yet official statistics say Americans…
by Gaye Levy Whether or not you currently have a food garden, practical wisdom says you should stash away some heirloom seeds for the long term. If the time ever came when food was in short supply or overly expensive, your stored seeds could become…
By Heather Callaghan This could save a life some day. Or make a camping trip slightly less inconvenient. Or save you a trip the store when your modern chintzy can opener inevitably breaks the first time you use it (true story for me). These three…

by Tess Pennington Last year, I devoted a better part of a year encouraging all of you to get prepped in the 52 Weeks to Preparedness series. This program was so successful, we made it into a book. Hopefully, you have taken action and stocked up…
by Gaye Levy My love affair with paracord continues. Not only is it strong and useful for a myriad of tasks, it is colorful and fun to work with while making bracelets, key fobs, belts and other goodies. I am not the only one that…
By Jeffrey Green You’re probably still shivering at the thought of this past winter, but the summer heat is right around the corner and with it comes the dreaded high electric costs of cooling your house. What if there was a cheap, easy-to-make alternative to…

By Daisy Luther The state of the world is dire. Our economy is collapsing, the government urinates all over the Constitution, and the United Nations is using Agenda 21 to advance their goal of taking over every natural resource on the planet, including personal property….
