Fitness Motivation

Last week I ran another ten miler. Now let me be the first to say that I do not enjoy running and generally keep my distance at about 2.5 miles every other day. I have hit times in the past where I’ve reached a sustainment plateau and started experiencing the so called “runner’s high”; but […]

Jonathan Prusse

I’m a guy who cares about his family. I want to make sure that those I love have the tools necessary to survive. In my own life I’ve seen the benefits which food storage and self-sufficiency have provided for my own immediate family during times of financial strain. Most of my own experience comes down to farm life, foraging in the woods, scouting, military service and combat deployments; to name several of life’s major building blocks. Not only do I want to share, I want to learn; so give me your insight. And while I do my best to ensure all information is correct; let me know if any corrections need to be made.
