This Week at the Bookstore
Yes, I admit, the store is a mess – but, when I’m finished, books will be much easier to find! I hope. Today, I had a book IN MY HAND, and then a customer came in and asked for it and – voila! It had disappeared. Sigh. At any rate, we do have the Big […]

Prep Monday – Family
If you’re a prepper, surely you’re ready for SHTF or at least you’re working on it. But what about your family? I’m not talking about your immediate family, those who live with you, but about other family members who may live nearby or who may be scattered around the country. Or outside the country. Chances […]

Dental Floss
Reblogged from Thoughtfully Prepping: I love this stuff. Cheap, 50-100m in length, quality controlled, made out of PTFE or nylon, comes waxed (so is waterproof) or plain, flavored even. Apart from cleaning your teeth, this has got to be the survivalist dream material. Problem is getting a definitive breaking strain but by playing round I've […]

Prep Monday – Toilet Paper
Now, we all know about saving dryer lint for a firestarter, and even about saving used toilet paper rolls to fill with said lint. But something rarely discussed, after SHTF, is toilet paper itself – or the lack thereof. I saw a post on FB about, um, what to do, and I can tell you […]

An open letter to a frightened man
Reblogged from mishaburnett: This is in response to "Why Indie Authors Still Suck"on So You Think You're An Author by someone who calls himself "anonnymouse13". Now, I won't address the obscenity, profanity, and random personal attacks liberally sprinkled through this post. Seventh grade was a lot of years ago for me, and that stuff stopped […]
