(click on above link to be re-directed)

My parents were both products of the Great Depression, and as such, I learned a lot about survival and prepping as a LIFESTYLE, not a fad or something “cool” to do from a very young age.

Some of their habits are basic no-brainers like “Waste Not, Want Not”; and that goes for everything, not just Food! My dad often got scolded by other members of our family fo having so much “junk” around our house. Sometimes going so far as to think my dad was a “hoarder”, But they soon learned that all that ‘junk’ was basically our own personal hardware store when something needed to be fixed, modified or upgraded.

One time when I was a kid, some of those relatives came down for a family reunion and one of our Aunts, who was disabled and in an electric wheelchair, started having problems with the chair not working correctly; basically it would not turn correctly. That evening, my dad took the chair down to the shop and after digging though his “unsightly junk pile”produced the correct parts to fix the electronic switch that was broke. My relatives, who were not the kind of folks that were handy with tools or very self-reliant, were absolutely amazed. Their comments about my dad’s “junk” ceased from that day forward!

Stay Alert, Stay Armed and Stay Dangerous!
