Create your Child’s Emergency Backpack
This post is by Bernie Carr, apartmentprepper.com An emergency can happen while your child is away at school, traveling with you on the way to a sports event or spending time with a relative who may not be as prepared as you’d like.

Lesson to First Responders and Situational Awareness
Today I’ve got some great information to share with you regarding first aid training as a first responder–after all, we’re ALL first responders–and situational awareness. For those of you who aren’t aware, typically the term “first responders” is referring to the rescue teams, EMTs or the firefighters or even law enforcement who arrive on the scene in which help is needed. Most…

Kershaw 1990x Brawler Pocket Knife Review
I’ve been a fan of Kershaw knives for a while now and I’ve owned quite a few over the years. Probably what I appreciate most about Kershaw is that their knives are relatively inexpensive. Kershaw has probably made hundreds of knives over the years that are well under $50. I recently picked up a Kershaw Brawler and I’ve been putting it through the paces these past couple months. Got to say, for the small price tag this isn’t a bad pocket knife. That’s not to say it doesn’t have its flaws, because it does, but we’ll get into those in a bit more detail later on. For now though, here’s a quick rundown of what I like and don’t like about the Kershaw Brawler…

VIDEO: Man Walks into Walmart – Never Walks Out – Because Cop Sneaks Up & Kills Him without Warning
Just a few weeks ago we reported on the unwarranted police killing of John Crawford III. Crawford was shot while casually strolling through a Walmart and holding an unpackaged Crossman .177 BB gun that he picked up off a shelf in the store. It was a tragic and unnecessary killing. But the details that have been uncovered since the incident are even more disturbing. Apparently, there are conflicting stories about what Crawford was doing in the Walmart while holding the toy gun. But first, it may be helpful to see what the surveillance video shows. As you can see, Crawford is calmly walking through the…

Review: Your Family Survival Plan
If you remember, a few days ago, I wrote a review of Bulletproof Home Defense, which is about how-to defend your home and retreat, against looters, hungry mobs or other attackers. And since readers seemed to really appreciate and find that review helpful, I decided to write a short review of another similar program – Your Family Survival Plan. This is another one of those products that we’ve all seen advertised on most of the prepper type blog via banner ads in the sidebars, and you probably, just skipped over it without even giving it a second thought. I’ve as guilty as you are for doing this, but recently, I’ve been …

Why Now Is the Time to Get Your Ham License
Most preppers get the idea that communication is an important capability to have during an emergency. Despite this understanding though, few preppers have a solid communication plan in place beyond a few two-way walkie-talkie devices and the false hope that their cellphone will still function. If that describes you (like it did me a few years ago), this article should hopefully open your eyes and inspire you to change that. The Dangers of a Communication Blackout are Very Real We take our ability to instantly communicate with others around the nation and the globe for granted. In reality though, the methods we depend on to communicate — internet and cellphone primarily — are extremely fragile. One common theme you…

Fast Track Tip #11: Be Informed With NOAA Weather Radio
Severe weather occurs far more frequently than most folks realize. As a matter of fact, it is a severe weather event that prompts many folks to begin their preparedness journey. In the United States, the five most dangerous weather events are tornadoes, hurricanes, lightning, floods and winter storms. Each of these weather events can leave you without power, and without access to food, clean water and supplies to make it through the days and sometimes weeks until things return to normal. Although nothing can be done to stop the force of nature, you can stay informed and in touch with current weather conditions. Today Backdoor Survival Contributing Author Rob Hanus is back with us to …

4 Ways to Waterproof Your Phone
Summer may be a quickly fading memory, but that doesn’t mean that your brand new iPhone is safe from a life-threatening water encounter. From bath time with small children to beer pong at the hottest weekend party, the danger of submersion is everywhere. Not only are phones a convenient distraction from the humdrum of the 8 to 5 workday, but they also act as a memory keeper, camera, personal assistant, notepad, calendar and connection to the social scene. It also can be a life saver in an emergency. When it’s pouring rain and you have just blown a tire, for instance, you don’t want to worry about your phone falling into a puddle …

Archive: Forget Doom and Gloom: Preparedness is the Ultimate Act of Optimism
Note from Daisy: With all of the hullabaloo about Ebola lately, it seems like a good time to remind ourselves of why we prepare. We don’t do it out of fear. We do it because we like the peace of mind it brings. When we are ready for anything from a job loss to a power outage to an outright apocalypse, we know that we can handle whatever life sends our way. A preparedness lifestyle is a constant affirmation that we will persevere. Does this sound familiar? You’re talking to a friend or family member who isn’t on board with preparedness. (And it’s even worse…

How to Survive a Gut Infection Without Medical Assistance
After a disaster, such as we saw with Hurricane Sandy, one of the number one threats to survival is infection. Especially a gut infection. The most common way survivors become infected with deadly intestinal bacteria is by drinking non-potable water. Gaining access to clean water after a disaster is rarely as simple as turning on your kitchen faucet. First of all, you may might not even have a kitchen left. Secondly, even if water is coming out of the tap, it could easily be contaminated by a sewage leaking. In most cases, however, city water will not be available at all. If the electrical grid is down that often means water pumps and filtration plants are offline. Turning to your local …
