In a previous article I spoke about my interest in precious metals, in particular gold; today I discuss some of the benefits of silver and why it might be for you.  I love precious metals; some I’ve gotten on line, other from local antique stores that deal in coins.  If you buy online, most well […]

In this day and age it may surprise you that one of the greatest fears for most preppers in not the NSA, but what their next door neighbor might know.  I’m currently waiting for the next book in a phenomenal series by S. M. Stirling to come out and would like to share a quick […]

The fact is none of us, with the exception of some weird brilliant people who likely don’t prep, have the mental capacity to remember everything we read in book and on websites.  I’ve found that unless I am constantly working with something I often lapse in proficiency and forget many key steps.

Just before noon on September 1, the English amateur astronomers Richard Carrington and Richard Hodgson independently made the first observations of […]

A while ago I share some great home cleverness; so here’s a little more. Jon          

Most people when they think of the US Constitution beyond the phrase “We the people…” don’t realize what is actually written down in it.  In fact most of us without familiarization will start misquoting material from the Bill of Rights thinking they’re speaking from the Constitution or the Declaration of Independence.  Liberal, Moderate, or Conservative […]

I’m not known for keeping my cars up to date on services; although my wife does a good job of it.  But personal faults and shortcomings are a good reason to do a little research and inspire personal changes and adjustments.  In my case work is just over a mile away, so I’m not concerned […]
