What is a Prepper? & Heart Felt Loss for P.B. N.

People ask me all the time, what is a prepper? Are we what some people think preppers are? Those strange people you see on reality TV that give you the creeps or the homesteader you see at the farmers market. I guess there will always be some that meet that stereotype, but for most preppers…

Hope! The Simpleton and Common sense.

The following article, written over a half century ago, I recently stumbled across and for myself it was one that I could not let go of. I read and re-read several times, each leaving me with new visions of what was and what is, of what I hope to be and what I hope I…

Survivalists, Preppers and the others, Whats the difference?

About a year ago I wrote a post for the Canadian Preppers Network blog called Two Solitudes. The article was about a division I saw developing between those who consider themselves Preppers and those that consider themselves survivalists. Now, this divide seems to be growing. What’s worse is that there is a whole new category…

Lesson’s to be learned from others and ourselves!

In my mid 20′s I bought myself a 1965 convertible Impala and I fixed it up and started hitting all the local car shows. I had a pair of 13×7 Dayton’s, so if you don’t know, it’s a low rider. But that didn’t stop me from going to low rider shows, and hot rod show’s…

Why preppers are not a cult!

I had a tough time deciding on a topic for this week’s broadcast of The Prepared Canadin.  I could have talked about food storage or water purification again, looked into a top ten list of prepper related gear, or other such subjects, but I felt somewhat uninspired by these ideas.  Then I came across two…

Do’s and don’ts in spreading the preparedness mindset!

The tides have turned!  If we look back about one year ago, it was a hard time to be a prepper.  Discussions of impending doom from various scenarios such as the Mayan calendar, Niburu, and a multitude of other world ending nonsense dominated the news, internet, and even the prepper community.  You couldn’t use the…
