By Tess Pennington This article first appeared in ReadyNutrition.com One of my favorite phrases that I tell new preppers is that “your preps are your lifeline.” We must put measures in place before a disaster is upon us in order to have these lifelines available to us when we need it the most. Building an emergency pantry is one of those lifelines that takes both time and planning to make it fully functional. Ideally, you want to store shelf […]

At that time the idea was scary but seemed farfetched; these days, it seems a lot more plausible. Cyber attacks are increasingly common these days, from almost daily reports of department stores being hacked […]
In the movie Zombieland, one of the goals of Woody Harrelson’s character had was to find a store that had Twinkies.
