Review: Volcano Stove II
How To Personal Preparedness

Review: Volcano Stove II

Last week I had the opportunity to get in on a group buy for the <a href="http://www.volcanogrills.com">Volcano II stove</a>. (Sorry, I would have shared the details but I found out about it <em>very</em> last minute and barely made it in myself!) I had heard good things about this stove, and after a brief review of its features and online ratings, I decided to acquire one.

On Junk Silver or Silver Coins or Bullion Coins and Bartering
Barter How To

On Junk Silver or Silver Coins or Bullion Coins and Bartering

<img class="alignright size-full wp-image-865" title="dimes_sml" src="/images/uploads/2009/01/dimes_sml.jpg" alt="dimes_sml" width="220" height="147" />I'm trying to get this all figured out, it's kind of confusing! <a href="http://www.survivalblog.com/glossary.html#Junk"> Junk Silver, Silver Coins, Bullion Coins, Pre-1965 Coins</a> - it turns out they all pretty much mean the same thing! Hard-Core TEOTWAKI Preppers know that pre-1965 silver coins are made up of actual silver and have good potential barter power. That bartering capability comes from the fact that the U.S. Mint has guaranteed the amount of silver in these coins so they have a known value. Bullion Coins are generally considered the easiest way to have known values of precious metals - hence their potential barter usage. So far this is fairly common knowledge, but there is a lot more to know in order to do this properly - and I'm trying to get it all figured out.

Keeping your data safe
How To

Keeping your data safe

This post is a followup to the recent post on <a href="http://www.utahpreppers.com/2009/01/backing-up-your-computer-and-preserving-your-files/">backing up your data on flash drives</a>.  As stated, keeping your important data safe is extremely important.  Keeping a copy with you, and in a remote location is required practice for me.  But keeping your data safe is much more than just keeping a copy of your data around in case of hardware failure, fire, or evacuation.  You need to actually protect the data itself.

Gardening How To

Prepping for Prepping

Prepping - it's an endless activity that has few rewards, and those rewards often are not close in payout to the amount of time and effort that went into them. The interim rewards in prepping include not having to run to the store constantly to keep your food stocked. When you're a Prepper your grocery store is in your own house, going to an actual store is akin to going to a warehouse to get resupplied. The other reward is great personal satisfaction and comfort in knowing that you are ready for anything - well, almost ready - there's ALWAYS something else that can be done. The big payoff rarely comes for a Prepper - and that is when things get bad enough that you're able to make it through it solely because you were prepped. This lifestyle, with it's small rewards and rare big payoff, can be tiring - even overwhelming at times.
