I’m so excited for this post because making fire is DEFINITELY the most fun area of bugging out, in my opinion. Oh, and it can also be essential for your survival – fire lets you boil water and cook food, it provides warmth and comfort and gives your space cozy vibes, and (bonus) when you…

Hi! A bit of background: we love to host campfires at our house, and I also have a bunch of life philosophies. So I thought it might be fun to combine the two: to occasionally have ‘fireside chats’ and talk about one of those philosophies and how it might relate to prepping. Today’s topic is…

My possessions don’t usually make me happy – but my stockpile of food definitely does! I love going down to the basement and admiring it.

Thanks for stopping by! I started this website to help make prepping accessible to everyone, no matter their current level of preparedness or comfort with the world of survival prepping. I’m a Midwestern mom who stumbled into prepping after I got super obsessed with (of all things) buying camping gear. Camping gadgets were my gateway…
