5 Movies Like Red Dawn
Every once in awhile I feel some nostalgia and want to watch an old school movie. Now, I am partial to the 1984 version of Red Dawn because I remember seeing it in theaters. I have seen the 2012 version of Red Dawn and didn't love it. Like at all, but my then teenagers did. Al personal choice I suppose. Sometimes I get tired of rewatching the same movie so today I am sharing 5…
Luci Inflatable Solar Lantern {Review}
Here is a come-as-you-are review. Yes, Monkey Cupcake is making an appearance. After we recorded this I showed the lantern to The Principal and he loved it! Wants to buy one for each BOB (bug out bag) So, obviously I have a female point of view. Not a bad point of view, just not the same as a male thought process.

The Tuttle Twins Learn about the Law {Review}
I received this book free for my unbiased review. My opinions are my own. This book is about the Tuttle Twins, Ethan and Emily. Geared towards the ages 6-10 crowd, I would say it was still a good read for the tweens. I believe it would hold their attention just fine. After a school assignment on interviewing a person whom they feel is wise, the twins go about chatting with their neighbor, Fred. While they…
Survival Hax Tactical Pen {Review}
Survival Hax Tactical Pen This Survival Pen from Survival Hax is not your father's pen. Here are the Specs: Length: 6” Thickness: .5” Exterior: Aviation aircraft aluminum Blade Material: 3CR13 steel Weight: .1 lbs The Principal was excited when this came.

Tessemae’s All Natural {Review}
I know you may be thinking what the heck? A review for salad dressing? (Disclosure: I was given free product AND I was paid to review it) This doesn't have anything to do with preparedness. It kind of does. Healthy eating, in our house, is considered part of our preparedness plan. We need to be in the best shape possible, not a round shape, but physically fit to be ready for the SHTF. That said,…
Aftermath II: Struggle for Independence Review
You can read my review of Book 1 Aftermath: A Story of Survival over here and I am FINALLY, only a few months late, sharing my thoughts on the 2nd book in the series. Like book 1, this was a great read. I love this genre and I also love supporting new authors. As with most self published authors there will be typos and maybe a few grammatical errors. I don't feel there were so…
Aftermath: A Story of Survival Review
I picked up my iPad to read this on Kindle. I thought oh, I will read a few pages and go to bed. HA! I haven't ready a good SHTF book in awhile. Dare I say I read a chapter or two and never finish it. Sad because Post Apocalyptic and Dystopian are my top 2 favorite genre's. I could not turn my Kindle off. No, it wasn't broken. This book was good! Engaging. The…
Oasis (The Last Humans) A Review
My name is Theo, and I'm a resident of Oasis, the last habitable area on Earth. It's meant to be a paradise, a place where we are all content. Vulgarity, violence, insanity, and other ills are but a distant memory, and even death no longer plagues us. I was once content too, but now I'm different. Now I hear a voice in my head, and she tells me things no imaginary friend should know. Her…
The Survival Savvy Family Review
When I was was given the chance to review The Survival Savvy Family by Julie at Home Ready Home I was super excited. I have read Julie's blog for sometime and recently she has allowed me to ask a ton of questions about her neck of the woods. This book is not your "The world is ending" type of survival book. It is full of practical tips and information that you can apply to everyday…
