I’m not prone to paranoia. If I were, I don’t think I could have been thrown from one of my horses 20 times in the two+ years I owned him and been able to keep getting on again, even after I had broken ribs. I think I approach prepping in the same mindset like how…
I’m right there with you. We seniors know that facing the wild with confidence is about more than just having cool gear. It’s about knowing exactly what to do when things go sideways. Many seasoned survivalists will dig into gear reviews or talk strategies, but you will realize that long-term survival is what you know…
Sinkholes are earth’s trapdoors—ground yawns open, swallowing homes or roads with no mercy. Water or mines carve them slow, then drop fast. A sinkhole is a depression or hole in the ground caused by some form of collapse of the surface layer. Sinkholes abound in Florida. We have so much limestone and dolomite here. There are more…
Heatwaves are slow broilers—temps soar past 90°F for days, frying you without relief. Power strains, bodies wilt, and dehydration ambushes fast. Every Summer, we have what feels like a heatwave in Florida. August can get to the high 90s and more. We have enough ocean winds to keep it from getting hotter, so it’s not…
Floods are nature’s slow siege—rivers swell, rains pound, or dams break, turning dry land into a watery graveyard. They don’t rush in like tornadoes; they creep, then overwhelm, drowning homes, roads, and hope if you’re not ready. I have had to evacuate an oncoming flood when Hurricane Dora hit Florida in 1964. We were renting…
Survival isn’t just about the tools you have or the supplies you stockpile. It’s about the strength of your mind and your ability to adapt to adversity. In any emergency or SHTF scenario, mental fortitude often decides between success and failure. While having food, water, and shelter is essential, your mindset determines how effectively you…
When a crisis hits, survival often depends on preparation. Many believe they are ready, but real-world emergencies expose weaknesses in even the best-laid plans. A reality check is essential. By critically evaluating your preparedness, you can identify gaps, fix shortcomings, and strengthen your ability to navigate uncertainty. Preparedness is not about fear—it’s about resilience and…
Strength in Unity: Building Effective Survival Alliances Community strength is just as crucial as individual preparedness in any survival situation. While self-sufficiency is valuable, no one can master every skill needed for survival. A well-organized survival alliance helps bridge skill gaps, shares resources, and provides emotional support, increasing everyone’s chances of success. Choosing the Right…
And Partnering with Local Farmers Working with local farmers and joining Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) programs can be a game-changer for seniors looking to maintain their independence and build resilience. Many seniors may be one of your local farmers. A senior might be the organizer for your local CSA. We know there is a lot…
Introduction Survival prepping has long been about passing down practical skills and knowledge from one generation to the next. However, with evolving technology, seniors today can benefit from tools that simplify planning and increase readiness. Artificial intelligence (AI) is one such resource—a smart, efficient way to enhance your survival preparation. When AI was first available…
Access to information is one of the most essential things you’ll need for any kind of survival. Unless you have many decades of experience, chances are you either lack specific knowledge about survival in various circumstances or forget certain things you knew at some point. Even if you have a wealth of knowledge, it’s important…
