This post is by Bernie Carr, apartmentprepper.com As we know California residents have seen their share of troubles in the past few weeks – earthquakes, homelessness, huge wildfires and more. The most recent source of frustration has been the widespread power outages imposed by Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E), their main electricity provider. People are unhappy their power is being suspended for hours at a time. But PG&E maintains the power outages are necessary to prevent wildfires. Unfortunately, a recent […]
This post is by Bernie Carr, apartmentprepper.com Welcome to our Saturday post, where we are discussing good news for a change. Keeping abreast of current events is normally a good thing – we always want to know what’s going on, so we can plan ahead. If a hurricane is about to hit, I sure would want to know about it, so I can be ready. That’s not what we are talking about here. If you turn on the news at […]
Editor’s note: Today’s guest author reminds us that living in a big city and having constant stress can take a toll on our spirit so we must make an effort to experience the natural world. Written by: Guest author Modern society offers more comfort than living in the wild, but at a cost to true freedom and our connection with nature. Living in an urban setting – as well as by the rules that come with it – essentially fragments […]
This post is by Bernie Carr, apartmentprepper.com In the past couple of weeks, there have been several attacks where innocent people going about their day got hurt or killed.

Not even 24 hours prior to the Ohio shooting, a shooter killed 20 and injured 26 others in a Walmart in El Paso. On July 28, just […]
This post is by Bernie Carr, apartmentprepper.com I was reading a Facebook group board and one of the members brought up an interesting question. The member was a regular in the board, and she was very involved in buying supplies, gear, and learning skills. Her parents invited her to go to Europe to celebrate their anniversary. They would cover the hotel and food, and she only had to come up with airfare. She was inclined to turn down the invitation […]
This post is by Bernie Carr, apartmentprepper.com Getting out of dodge also known as bugging out is not my first choice in riding out a disaster unless there is an immediate threat or an evacuation order. We all feel more secure in our own homes, where most of our supplies are located. Being in familiar territory is comforting. However, there may come a time when you have to leave due to an impending disaster, whether it’s a wildfire, a chemical […]
Written by Lucas Cappel Many people are yet to embrace the culture of keeping diaries and journals as they find it hectic and unnecessary. Many will argue that diary keeping will steal some minutes of their rather busy day. Others may hold the opinion that it will bring back irrelevant memories that have nothing to do with the present and would only make a person hate their past. Most of the reasons for not keeping a diary are genuine, but […]
This post is by Bernie Carr, apartmentprepper.com Last week, I wrote about a traffic accident that escalated into a shootout between two drivers. Road rage is not usually a topic that is covered in emergency preparedness, but if you think about it, a road rage incident can easily turn into a personal disaster. In the situation that I described, three lives were altered as a result of uncontrollable rage: one driver was immediately arrested, the other driver was shot in […]
This post is by Bernie Carr, apartmentprepper.com I know a couple of people who were obsessed with prepping a couple of years ago, and now have completely dropped out. From our previous conversations, I think they got burnt out from prepping. Discouragement is fairly common-it happens to all of us. The trick is to overcome it.
