By Daisy Luther It’s probably no surprise that the young people of today aren’t particularly independent. Not only does the “education” system take great pains to mold them into a bunch of terrified, follow-the-herd automatons, society, in general, doesn’t force them to do much for…
By Daisy Luther Prepping isn’t all about whiling away your hours in a bunker, reloading ammo. It’s about the everyday things we do and the differences in our mindsets from non-preppers, and these are things that only real preppers will understand. Preppers know these are…

By Daisy Luther Hurricane Dorian had been headed straight for Florida as a potential Category 4 hurricane, but this morning, things have changed. The hurricane has picked up even more power and is now a Category 5, and the direction has shifted, putting South Carolina…
By Daisy Luther Have you ever waited too long to prepare for an emergency and then you get to the store and the supplies you need are gone? The shelves are nearly bare because a horde of other locals got there first? If you need…
By Daisy Luther Hurricanes are not always completely predictable and sometimes we end up being surprised when the storm dramatically changes course or gains power. Due to this, sometimes people aren’t as prepared as they’d like to be when suddenly the weather channel announces the…
By Daisy Luther We may not have to wait for a traveler from the Democratic Republic of Congo to visit the United States for an Ebola outbreak. It just might be brought to us by our own military along with the plague and other horrifying…
By Daisy Luther One of the most common reasons that people give for not prepping is the cost involved. People seem to have this mental image of a bedroom or basement dedicated to being filled to the rafters with cans of Chef-Boy-Ardee. They imagine someone…
By Daisy Luther Here’s my recommendation for your end-of-summer food preservation. You need 100 pounds of tomatoes. 100 pounds? Are you insane, Daisy? Yes – 100 pounds, and more if you can get them. No other item of produce increases in nutrients when cooked and…

By Daisy Luther What if something happens and you CAN’T evacuate before a hurricane? What if it’s too late to evacuate before the storm makes landfall? While it’s easy to say, “Oh, they should have left earlier” and run through the gamut of blame, the…
By Daisy Luther If you live on the West Coast, you know that the fault lines there are pretty active right now. You may even be dealing with regular aftershocks from the two major quakes last week. I’ve written a detailed article about what you…
By Daisy Luther Since Thursday, Southern California has been hit with a series of earthquakes and aftershocks all the way up to two that measured 6.4 and a whopping 7.1 magnitude. The epicenter of both quakes was near the town of Ridgecrest, with a population…
By Daisy Luther If you were caught up in the midst of a massive earthquake – the kind that takes down buildings and buckles roads – would you know what to do? I’m not talking about a minor temblor that shakes a glass off the…
By Daisy Luther Yep, another recall. A number of fresh vegetables sold by stores like Trader Joe’s and Food Lion have been recalled after state inspectors discovered Listeria monocytogenes in a sample. Growers Express LLC launched a recall of the products in question from various…
