- [How to Prep on a Budget](https://thepreppersdaily.com/how-to-prep-on-a-budget/): Beginning preppers can often feel overwhelmed by the sheer volume of supplies they feel like they need to get started. In fact, it can cost thousands of dollars to prepare for a SHTF scenario even for just one person. However, most people who want to be prepared in any situation aren’t necessarily able to drop that kind of coin at the drop of a hat, and that is why so many people have become preppers on a budget. The truth is the most important thing you can have to ensure your survival isn’t a fat pocketbook, it is knowledge; the […]
- [Recipe - Chicken Fajita Bake](https://thepreppersdaily.com/recipe-chicken-fajita-bake/): Fajitas are one of my very favorite meals to order when I go out for dinner.  However, they’re not so great on the ol’ waistline, what with the sour cream, tortillas, cheese, and, of course, the bottomless chips and salsa that the neighborhood Mexican joint happily bombards you with.  But making them at home is such a hassle, right?  Not so, with this diet-friendly version.  The best thing about this recipe, aside from delicious, authentic flavor and one-dish cooking, is its simplicity and quickness.  With just a few ingredients and about an hour of time, you can cure that insatiable […]
- [Recipe - Strawberry Jam and Canning Tips](https://thepreppersdaily.com/recipe-strawberry-jam-and-canning-tips/): This super simple strawberry jam recipe is the perfect place for a beginning canner to start. Three simple ingredients (no pectin), 10 minutes cooking, and 10 minutes processing in a hot water bath equal capturing the most delicious taste of summer for months to come! My first few tries of canning a fruit using pectin resulted in disaster. That’s why I was ecstatic to find a fruit jam recipe without pectin. Pectin is a naturally occurring indigestible fiber found the walls of the cells of most fruits. When heated with sugar and a liquid, it gels, giving jams, jellies and […]
- [Recipe - Base Camp Biscuits](https://thepreppersdaily.com/recipe-base-camp-biscuits/): Whether running a trapline, on a hunting trip or dealing with life after the SHTF; camp life should be wholesome and enjoyable. The goal isn’t just to survive, it’s to thrive. Nothing is more wholesome and enjoyable than freshly baked biscuits. Here is how we make them in an off the grid base camp situation. First, you need a quality cast iron dutch oven with legs. Next, you need to have a supply of firewood, hardwood if you have it. Build a fire and build up a nice bank of coals. While your fire is burning you can mix up […]
- [Diapering When SHTF](https://thepreppersdaily.com/diapering-when-shtf/): When you first become a parent, one of the decisions you have to make is the type of diapers you use for your little bundle of joy. Cloth or disposables? A lot of people will already have an answer in mind. When the SHTF, will your choice still be the same? In the current state of our world, we are relatively free to make decisions about how we will raise our children. There may be many factors that may contribute to our decision-making process, including: Is the environment important to me? Do I have the time to commit to cleaning […]
- [Review - The Ruger 10/22](https://thepreppersdaily.com/review-the-ruger-10-22/): The Ruger 10/22 is by far the most popular .22 caliber rifle ever made. Most models are inexpensive, the design is simple, and the rifle is super reliable. Plus it is the perfect rifle to teach a child how to shoot. Each one of my children has one of their own. This is my Ruger 10/22 – Ultimate Upgrade Guide! Because the design is so simple, there are a huge number of upgrades and accessories that can be added to it. Much like our popular Remington 700 upgrade post, let’s go over what can be done. Choose Your Stock Upgrade […]
- [How to Grow Your Soil](https://thepreppersdaily.com/how-to-grow-your-soil/): Grow Your Soil First and the Garden Will Grow Itself How do you grow your soil? What does that mean, “grow your soil?” Plants live only from what they can get from the soil and the water they either get from the sky or the irrigation you provide. A tomato is about 95% water. What is the other 5%? It’s the components in the soil that the plant has drawn out molecule-by-molecule. If the “building blocks” of that tomato are not (#1) present in the soil and (#2) are not bioavailable to the plant’s roots, the tomato will not form […]
- [How to Make a Menu Plan for a Month](https://thepreppersdaily.com/how-to-make-a-menu-plan-for-a-month/): Making a menu plan or meal plan is a weekly chore that most of us dread. You have to look at the sales, decide what to make, think about what your family likes to eat, what you have time to prepare…yuck. Believe it or not, you can make a menu plan for an entire month in 10 minutes! It is SO much easier to menu plan a month at a time. In fact, the prep work will probably take longer than the menu planning itself. You will need: A freezer inventory if you have one A list of everyone’s 4-5 […]
- [DIY: Wall-Hanging Canned Food Storage](https://thepreppersdaily.com/diy-wall-hanging-canned-food-storage/): Today, we take a much-needed look back upon one of the best DIY projects we’ve ever come across: the DIY Wall-Hanging Canned Food Storage. This DIY project was brought to our attention in the earlier incarnations of our website. This incredible fellow and his wife had (then) recently moved into their new home. They realized that they had a gem on their hands pretty quickly. There was an unfinished, stud-exposed wall in one of the best storage places ever: under the stairs. The couple was quick to realize that they could turn that space into a vertical canned food rotation […]
- [Recipe - Big Boy Biscuits](https://thepreppersdaily.com/recipe-big-boy-biscuits/): Less than a minute. Big Boy Biscuits CourseBreads Prep Time30 minutes Cook Time15 minutes Ingredients 2cups all-purpose flour 1 tbsp baking powder 1 tsp salt 1tbsp white sugar 1/3cup shortening 1cup milk Instructions Preheat oven to 425f In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, sugar.

Pat or roll dough out to 1 inch thick. Cut biscuits with a large cutter or juice glass […]
- [Concealed Carry Tips For Beginners](https://thepreppersdaily.com/concealed-carry-tips-for-beginners/):   So, you want to conceal carry? Have you asked yourself why? Is it because you have a fear for your life and you want to defend yourself when you’re out in public? Is it because you know other people who conceal carry and you think it sounds cool? Is it because you don’t necessarily want to, but a friend or family member is telling you that you need to do it. Regardless of what your reason is, the simple fact is you are here reading this article, and that means that you are at the very least considering conceal […]
- [Recipe - Cranberry Coconut Energy Balls (Vegan Gluten Free)](https://thepreppersdaily.com/recipe-cranberry-coconut-energy-balls-vegan-gluten-free/): I’m always searching for quick and healthy snack ideas, and they come in especially handy during a long day working out in the garden.  I’ll pop in the house for a glass of water, and a quick energy boost.  The problem is, unless I have something planned ahead of time, my mid-garden day snack ends up being a bowl of cereal.  Not exactly nourishing, and lacking a bit on staying power. In the past, we’d make homemade Lara bars by mixing dates, dried cherries, and pecans in the blender, but all that fruit sugar goes right to the brain.  The trick […]
- [News - North Korea:  A Super Powerful EMP Attack](https://thepreppersdaily.com/news-north-korea-a-super-powerful-emp-attack/): North Korea: A Super Powerful EMP Attack The threat of a North Korea EMP targeting the US is increasingly becoming a reality.  North Korea’s threat to detonate an H-Bomb at high altitude is for one purpose alone – to decimate the United States’ (or any other country’s) electrical grid.  It became public that North Korea had obtained EMP weapons from Russia in back in 2013. As we all know, an EMP could bring down the United States electrical grid.  It could also extend an intense pulse across our continent that would damage or destroy every electronic switch, device, transformer and […]
- [How to Start a Fire Flint and Steel Vs Ferrocerium](https://thepreppersdaily.com/how-to-start-a-fire-flint-and-steel-vs-ferrocerium/): Fire Starting: Flint & Steel Versus Ferrocerium Key Differences – Intro Nothing sets the tone of a survival situation or emergency in the woods like fire. While you may be facing things that fire cannot solve, like an injury. It will make an enormous difference in your mood and behavior as those flames begin to grow. Realizing that you now have access to clean water, heat, protection and you can cook a warm meal. Fire makes survival possible so it makes sense that you know as much about getting it started as possible, right? We are going to look at […]
- [How to Win The War on Hornworms](https://thepreppersdaily.com/how-to-win-the-war-on-hornworms/): After 5 years of gardening, this is the first year we have had such a large issue of devastating hornworms eating our tomato plants. We have had them before but never in these numbers. Each evening I go out to the garden and kill about a dozen more. These little creatures can completely destroy a tomato plant in one day if the conditions are right. So like in years past, I was paying attention to any damage that I noticed. Now, you can pick these worms off by hand and put them in a bucket and feed them to your […]
- [How to Prevent Lyme Disease](https://thepreppersdaily.com/how-to-prevent-lyme-disease/): Lyme Disease Prevention is something that’s sadly becoming a more and more prevalent topic these days. More and more cases of this horrid disease are showing up every year, with some strains of Lyme Disease even proving to be deadly, so having a lot of Lyme Disease Prevention Tips at your disposal is key to avoiding truly this horrid disease. What? Did I really say “deadly”? Yeah, how’s that to make you sit up and pay attention, right? I mean, hearing about regular Lyme Disease is bad enough, but deadly?  Sigh. It’s enough to make me want to move to […]
- [What a Nuclear Disaster Means](https://thepreppersdaily.com/what-a-nuclear-disaster-means/): Radiation emergencies are one of the most misunderstood topics for preppers & survivalists. All too often I hear wild claims on the internet about the effects of radiation or observe misguided preppers exhibiting truly odd behavior in the quest to be ready for a nuclear war or power plant disaster. The following are some basic concepts to help you understand the facts, terms, and threats. What is radiation? The simplest comparison is that radiation is like a light wave, radio signal, or microwave. Radiation bounces off certain objects, like we commonly observe in light, and can also penetrate through walls […]
- [Recommendation - LED grow lights on the cheap](https://thepreppersdaily.com/recommendation-led-grow-lights-on-the-cheap/): With all our little seedlings popping up all over the place, I needed some grow lights in a hurry.  In the past I’ve used shop lights from the local big-box hardware store, as well as an official fluorescent grow light – I think I got it from Gardens Alive.  It worked great, but it was very expensive; and this year the bulb got broken.  Tired of constantly buying new bulbs all the time, I looked into LED grow lights.  EXPENSIVE!!!! So, I thought I’d engineer one myself, in my low-budget way.  I needed something that would be LED-based- to save […]
- [How to Make a Natural Dewormer for Chickens from Pumpkin Seeds](https://thepreppersdaily.com/how-to-make-a-natural-dewormer-for-chickens-from-pumpkin-seeds/): Fall is upon us, and just like with anything that’s in season, we have to weed through the truths and myths when it comes to our health and our chicken’s health. One of the constant things you’ll see floating around the interwebs is about pumpkin seeds as a natural dewormer for your chickens and other livestock. It’s not a myth, but it’s only a partial truth, unfortunately. These claims happen when bloggers do a quick google search for something, or they hear about something that might work, and then claim it as gospel. That’s not really my style, thankfully. And […]
- [How To Get To Know Your Neighbors](https://thepreppersdaily.com/how-to-get-to-know-your-neighbors/):   How well do you know you know your neighbors?  A few years ago I had a mini-flash flood in my backyard. We had torrential rains and several homes were flooded.  We were okay, but some of our neighbors’ homes were flooded with water and mud. Some swimming pools were filled with muddy water. Our dirt/sand here is reddish orange. It stains clothes and shoes. The rocks in Southern Utah are beautiful to look at, climb, repel and walk on nature trails, but when we have too much rain in a very short time it can be very dangerous. We […]
- [Chickens are the Easiest Livestock to Raise](https://thepreppersdaily.com/chickens-are-the-easiest-livestock-to-raise/): If you just started homesteading, no doubt you are wondering what kind of livestock you should raise. Although they are small, chickens are arguably one of the best animals to raise on your small farm. These animals are not only inexpensive to raise, but are also incredibly easy to care for. 1. They’re multipurpose Chickens are great animals to raise on your homestead because they have so many purposes. They are an excellent source of eggs, meat, and fertilizer. If you choose to raise dual-purpose breeds, you don’t have to choose between eggs or meat and can raise birds that […]
- [Recipe - Fast Tomato Sauce](https://thepreppersdaily.com/recipe-fast-tomato-sauce/): I spent most of yesterday making tomato sauce. There was washing, trimming, smashing into a food mill (I have this one and it’s a lifesaver- affiliate link), simmering, stirring, seasoning, and thennnnnn, finally at 6:39 pm, I started ladling the gallons of sauce into quart jars and lowering them into the boiling water canner. It was a long day. And I had to ask myself, WHY ON EARTH am I doing this? No really. I asked myself that. It was hot, messy, and monotonous. All the components of a super fun day, right? However, all inconveniences aside, I know it’ll […]
- [Reasons Preppers should have Ham Radios](https://thepreppersdaily.com/reasons-preppers-should-have-ham-radios/): I remember growing up as a kid communication was a whole lot different. Those were the days when my mother would yell out the window and it felt like no matter where we were we could hear her calling us. Then Came the days of the pager (Yes, I had one) Those days we knew exactly where all the pay phone in the whole town were and we spoke in code. As I reflect on the old days it is scary, what if the SHTF what would we have done back then? Well, I guess the answer is we would […]
- [How to Clean it, Maintain it, Fix it](https://thepreppersdaily.com/how-to-clean-it-maintain-it-fix-it/): In a reply to a previous post, I was reminded of the need to learn to make do with what we have and to repair and maintain things. That brought to mind the two tools shown in the photo above – both tools have been in the family for several generations. The grubbing hoe is still in a quite usable condition despite the handle being wrapped with a strip of metal that has been nailed in place. The ax, on the other hand, is just kept as a reminder of a time when tools were treasured and were not easily […]
- [How to Recognize Key Characteristics Of The Animal You’re Hunting](https://thepreppersdaily.com/how-to-recognize-key-characteristics-of-the-animal-youre-hunting/): When you’re hunting, it is important to gain some knowledge about the animals which you are planning to hunt. Only when you are able to gain that knowledge, hunting will go smoothly. Many people however differ; they think that there is no need at all to gain the knowledge about the animals which they are looking to hunt. The truth is exactly the opposite of that. We will go into the details of the same below. Why must you learn to recognize key characteristics of the animal you’re hunting? The main reason is that when you are able to identify […]
- [What Are The Most Valuable Commodities for Any Culture](https://thepreppersdaily.com/what-are-the-most-valuable-commodities-for-any-culture/): Sure, you’ve probably heard that gold is the best monetary object to stockpile. Perhaps you felt confident that if things went awry, you could trade the coins, bars, rings or baubles for necessities like food and clean water. However, gold has one fatal drawback you’ve probably already realized- in a bad situation, most people will also need food and shelter more than money. While gold has innate value and will be useful when a nation or economy starts to straighten out, bartering will be vital for survival (or at least extremely useful) at first. You should be prepared to haggle […]
- [Great Holiday Gifts For Gardeners!](https://thepreppersdaily.com/great-holiday-gifts-for-gardeners/): Whether you consider gardening to be your calling in life or a simple hobby, or have a loved one who feels that way, you’ll no doubt find these gifts for gardeners appealing. Many gardeners look forward to receiving something useful as a holiday gift, although whimsical items might be appreciated as well. Here’s a quick breakdown of some basic gift categories and ideas of things to look for in each: Gardening Tools This one is fairly obvious because most gardeners can use more tools! Look for matching sets of trowels and shovels, useful hand tool organizers, and even pairs of high-quality […]
- [The Benefits Of Brain Games For Kids](https://thepreppersdaily.com/the-benefits-of-brain-games-for-kids/): Have you ever thought about the fact that games can be healthy? It’s true–health can be fun even when we’re talking about kids’ health! Along those lines, let’s take some time today to look at something a little different than what I normally write about here, (or maybe not so different): the benefits of brain games for kids. Healthy living includes a healthy brain. I mean for sure, right? Your brain does more than just think–it controls basically everything that you do. If your brain isn’t healthy, then not much can be healthy. So in order to have overall health, […]
- [How to Make Black Walnut Tincture for Worming Chickens and Livestock](https://thepreppersdaily.com/how-to-make-black-walnut-tincture-for-worming-chickens-and-livestock/): This past week I wormed my chicken flock with black walnut tincture. Here’s why. A few days before I saw what was undoubtedly a roundworm in a fresh chicken dropping. Since there was no mistaking what I was looking at, I knew I was going to have to treat the flock. But, I was unsure how I wanted to go about this. We try to do everything as naturally as possible on our farm. I have never subscribed to the practice of treating for things unless I have reason to believe an animal is sick or is showing symptoms. Seeing […]
- [Is Your Entire Family Prepared for Emergencies at All Times?](https://thepreppersdaily.com/is-your-entire-family-prepared-for-emergencies-at-all-times/): Is your ENTIRE family prepared for emergencies at all times? Is your ENTIRE family: Secure Knowledgeable Responsible Patient Prayerful Vigilant in an emergency situation? I am reminded of a presentation I made some years back to a large gathering of preparedness professionals.  This convention consisted of folks who came from all over the country and of course this meant that they would be gone from their families for a few days.  Bear in mind that at my presentation there were a couple of hundred people whose responsibilities included preparedness planning and education for very large companies, organizations, and governmental agencies. […]
- [Review - Straw or Hay Mulch?](https://thepreppersdaily.com/review-straw-or-hay-mulch/): Straw mulch vs. hay mulch: In the battle to control weeds, add fertility, and improve the water retention of your soil, is one really better than the other? Well, in a word . . . yes! The Difference Between Straw and Hay Let’s start at the beginning. What is the difference between straw and hay? Or are they essentially the same thing? Many people think they’re identical because they’re both often tied into square or rectangular bales, but a closer look reveals that they’re actually quite different. Understanding these differences may help in your decision about which material better suits […]
- [How to Use Black Chokeberry](https://thepreppersdaily.com/how-to-use-black-chokeberry/): Several species of Aronia berries are cultivated and marketed as superfoods, but their wild cousins are out there free for the taking.  Black Chokeberry (Aronia melanocarpa) is native to the Eastern half of the US and Canada (map here), and though the name sounds similar to chokecherry, they’re completely different plants. In urban areas, they’re common in landscape plantings, and our local Trader Joes uses them as a planting in ditches throughout the parking lot.  They produce beautiful flowers in the spring, and the berries are just ripening in the early fall as the foliage puts on a beautiful show. […]
- [What Storage Container Works Best?](https://thepreppersdaily.com/what-storage-container-works-best/): Original containers are sometimes a good choice for food storage. But for longest life, often there are better choices. A large part of prepping is the art of storing provisions and other necessary items in anticipation of a time when they will not be readily available, due to a breakdown in society and its usual services. Many articles are written about what to store, but very little is written about how to store the things you are collecting.  We suggest, and this article explains, that your choice of storage materials is very important. The best storage container depends on what […]
- [How to clone grapes](https://thepreppersdaily.com/how-to-clone-grapes/): Grapes….. Grape juice, grape jelly, grape wine, grape wine vinegar.  We use grapes in so many ways, and we never seem to have enough.  So back in the early part of February this year I decided to try my hand at cloning our grape vines.   After a little light reading and a trip to the feed store, I was ready.  Early to mid-February is the best time around here to prune grape vines.  It’s past the cold part of the year, so any diseases or pests are dead; and it’s before it starts really warming up, so the sap is still […]
- [How to Tell Your Food is Spoiled](https://thepreppersdaily.com/how-to-tell-your-food-is-spoiled/): As a homesteader, much of what you do throughout the year involves preserving, preparing, and conserving food. Therefore, it is important to know the warning signs of spoiled food–it’s not always what you think. Expiration dates don’t always indicate spoilage. Sometimes, sell-by-dates are mistaken for expiration dates. Expiration dates contribute to food waste and don’t tell you much about whether your food has gone bad or not. Expiration dates often merely indicate only when a food has reached “optimal quality,” which is an estimate and can be affected based on purchase date, storage method, and other factors. Therefore, expiration dates […]
- [How to Naturally Keep Your Chickens Cool](https://thepreppersdaily.com/how-to-naturally-keep-your-chickens-cool/): You see it all over the place— there are at least 85 blogs talking about keeping chickens cool. Give them ice cubes. Hose them down (please don’t). Give them electrolytes and frozen water jugs. I’ve seen it all and heard it all. But here’s the reality—chickens don’t need your help to keep cool. Period. And yet, they kind of do. Check it out . . . While there are certainly instances where your chickens need assistance, keeping chickens cool or warm isn’t one of them. It’s like the whole dilemma with heat lamps in the winter—the bottom line is, chickens […]
- [Recipe - Gluten and Dairy Free Brownies!](https://thepreppersdaily.com/recipe-gluten-and-dairy-free-brownies/): Rich, fudgy, smooth, silky and moist, that is how I describe a good brownie, but not how you often hear gluten and dairy free brownies described. If you have ever baked with gluten free flours you know that it is easy to end up with a tough, dense, crumbly brick. Not this time! Proudly bring these brownies to any event and people will beg for the recipe! This recipe, like most of my baking recipes, has been years in the making. I used to make Tollhouse brownies and wanted something comparable. Failed attempts have been everything from dry bricks to […]
- [Everything About Survival Seed Banks](https://thepreppersdaily.com/everything-about-survival-seed-banks/): Survival seed banks are good… but… Because there has to be a “but”, right? I recently read a good article on a very popular, well-run prepper site which extolled the virtues of survival seed banks. It’s a good article, and I’m throwing a link in right here for you to check it out. But… There’s something seriously missing from the article that I want to talk about, and that’s the fact that while Spice and I think that it is critically important to have, that seed bank will do you very little good unless you have the ground, the preparation, […]
- [How to Drill Concrete](https://thepreppersdaily.com/how-to-drill-concrete/): Construction projects are endlessly rewarding until you come across a problem that you can’t quickly solve. Struggling to understand how to drill concrete can be one of those situations. While concrete is a versatile material with a sought-after industrial aesthetic, its durability can quickly become too much of a good thing if you can’t make it behave. If you’ve tried to understand how to drill concrete with the tools you had on hand, you likely met with failure within moments of trying. The good news? There are special tools designed just for concrete construction, and they can make a world […]
- [Review - The Schrade SCHKM1 Machete](https://thepreppersdaily.com/review-the-schrade-schkm1-machete/): Like most preppers, I am constantly re-evaluating my gear.  And you should too. Situations and needs change.  I still live on the edge of Phoenix in the Sonoran Desert. And up to now, my basic brush blade has been my Nepalese Kukri.  But some of my plans have changed, and I decided I needed a full bladed machete. I have always like the Kukri blade design.  This type of blade was believed to have been first used by the ancient Greeks as a cavalry sword called a Kopis, itself derived from an agricultural tool. It it is also suspected that […]
- [How to make a 2-Ingredient Homemade Toothpaste](https://thepreppersdaily.com/how-to-make-a-2-ingredient-homemade-toothpaste/): Most people don’t give a second thought about the toothpaste they use in the morning. It’s just a substance bought and used, and likely even forgotten while you are brushing and pondering the day’s schedule ahead. But what if you couldn’t get toothpaste? What other alternatives could you use? What if you don’t want to load your mouth up with tons of chemicals? You don’t have to think Fluoride is terrible and prevents the absorption of minerals by your teeth, to want a simple homemade toothpaste recipe. I have used this for many years, and my teeth are just as […]
- [Great Gardening Books for Preppers](https://thepreppersdaily.com/great-gardening-books-for-preppers/): Winter is the season of soup, long nights, and at our house – great gardening books! It’s this time of year when we plan, and consider, and compare last year’s yields and harvests against what we’re dreaming of for next season. The seed catalogs are strewn across the dining table, there’s talk of re-designing that fourth garden bed (the one under the big tree) and it’s the time of year when we dream of all the summer crops we might try – while not actually having to grow, tend, harvest and process them. We sip spicy soup made with passata […]
- [Recipe - Wildwood Tea](https://thepreppersdaily.com/recipe-wildwood-tea/): Wildwood tea is, in its essence, as individual and as unique as each household that makes it. It’s an expression of place, in a teapot. A warm hug, from the woods where you live – and from all four of your seasons, too. We make our wildwood tea from a combination of medicinals and flavors that grow down the gully near our homestead, at Melliodora in Southern Australia. When each ingredient is ready in its season, we collect it, bring it home and then dry it in our greenhouse. And once we have enough, we combine the ingredients all together. […]
- [Review - Stacy Lyn Harris’ HARVEST](https://thepreppersdaily.com/review-stacy-lyn-harris-harvest/): My mouth has been watering for Stacy’s new book ever since she told me she was writing it a few months ago.  HARVEST is finally out and I think it’s her best title yet.  With a freezer packed with wild meats from this year’s hunting season, HARVEST couldn’t have been released at a better time of year. Harvest has a heart. The very nature of the book is coordinated around food that has families working together in order to bring them together. For Stacy Lyn, food is much more than sustenance, it is the medium through which familial ties are […]
- [Review - Power Generators – On A Budget!](https://thepreppersdaily.com/review-power-generators-on-a-budget/): Some of us were lucky this time. But what’s your back up plan if the grid goes down?  Do you have one??  HOW will you power your tech during a bug-out, or what if you go camping for a week away from electricity?  What will you do? Well, at less than $60 US… the 15 ounce Anker PowerPort, 2-Port, Solar Panel System provides serious power to keep your USB charged devices going. Use the PowerPort Solar Panel to charge phones, tablets, and other USB techs directly from the sun… or store energy for later use or cloudy days by adding […]
- [Recipe - Dark Cherry Mulberry Jam](https://thepreppersdaily.com/recipe-dark-cherry-mulberry-jam/): Are you growing or foraging mulberries and need a great mulberry jam recipe?  Well, here you go!  This mulberry jam recipe mixes fresh mulberries with dark cherries (or any berry you have on hand) for a rich flavor and unique splash on your morning toast.   Mulberries Mulberries are very fruitful trees that are wonderful in the edible landscape.  There are dark purple and white berry varieties, with the dark berries being the most common. For some urban dwellers, these virtues can be obstacles since strong mulberry roots can push up slabs of pavement.  The fruits drop free-will on cars and […]
- [How to Adopt Rescue Horses](https://thepreppersdaily.com/how-to-adopt-rescue-horses/): So, you’ve done your homework.  Your barn or pasture shelter is ready for its new tenant.  You have prepared, fussed, researched the breeds you like and know what you will use the horse.  You dream of the day you bring home your new horse.  Perhaps you already have a horse or two and want to add to your four-legged family.  Good for you! Now… where to find that special horse, whether you are looking for a trail mount, companion animal, or all-around family riding horse?  Of course, you can read all the classifieds, talk to friends, visit big breeding farms […]
- [How to Make an A-Frame Chicken Coop](https://thepreppersdaily.com/how-to-make-an-a-frame-chicken-coop/): In my excitement to get baby chicks, I forgot they grew like weeds and would quickly outgrow their brooder box! There wasn’t enough room for them in my current coop, so I had to find a quick and cheap solution. This A-frame chicken coop was the perfect solution! Less than $200, it could be built in a weekend! And the babies LOVE it. Here’s how I did it: The original design is from ana-white.com.  WARNING: do NOT go to Ana White’s site unless you want to turn your garage into a wood-working shop and begin eyeing every piece of furniture in […]
- [A Prepper's Guide to Bugging Out](https://thepreppersdaily.com/a-preppers-guide-to-bugging-out/): The Ultimate Guide to Bugging Out When a catastrophic disaster strikes and knocks out the foundations of modern, safe society, how will you and your family respond? While sheltering in place – bugging in – is the preferred option in most emergencies because of the protection and supplies your home affords, at times refusing to move can be a death sentence if violence erupts or your supplies run out. Instead, in many cases, the most secure option for you and your family may be simply to get out of dodge (bugging out). Bugging out comes with numerous risks, but it […]
- [Review -  Essential Oil Diffusers](https://thepreppersdaily.com/review-essential-oil-diffusers/): How do you find the best essential oil diffuser? And why should you use an essential oil diffuser instead of air freshener sprays or scented candles? Many of us grew up using air freshener sprays, gels, and plug-ins in our homes. What we didn’t know then (but are learning now) is that many air fresheners use carcinogens, chemicals that can aggravate asthma, and affect reproductive development. Independent lab testing of spray, gel, and plug-in air fresheners confirmed the presence of phthalates (hormone-disrupting chemicals that could be a health risk to babies and young children) in 85% of products tested—including those […]
- [Tips - Successful Urban Deer Bowhunting](https://thepreppersdaily.com/tips-successful-urban-deer-bowhunting/): Did you know that the deer can live virtually anywhere, including the urban areas surrounded by cities and crowds of people? Over the past few years, the populations of these adaptable ruminants have been on the rise in many cities. You’ll even hear cases of the animals raiding gardens and flowerbeds, and running in front of cars. This has turned their rare sightings into routine occurrences. While this might be a disappointment to the homeowners and motorists, it means a great opportunity for the urban bow hunter to bag that monster buck. Before you attempt to take down any deer […]
- [Things to Recycle in your Compost Bin](https://thepreppersdaily.com/things-to-recycle-in-your-compost-bin/): If you’re a homesteader, you are no doubt familiar with the hundreds of benefits composting provides, not just to you, but also to your garden. Composting isn’t just about getting rid of kitchen scraps and providing free fertilizer for your nutrient-hungry crops–it’s about reducing waste, preventing pollution, and closing the nutrient cycle. This process can help to eliminate over half of your household waste. Furthermore, it allows you to contribute to the crucial process of rejuvenation and recycling that is necessary to sustain life. Fresh compost soil is often referred to as “black gold” because it is so nutritious and […]
- [Computer Science and Programming for Kids](https://thepreppersdaily.com/computer-science-and-programming-for-kids/): Our son has been reading since he was 2 years old and as soon as we gave him a Kano Computer, he was hooked on Programming and learning about computers.  So when we started school officially, the first thing he wanted was to take a Programming Class. Programming in Kindergarten We are Homeschooling using K12.com but they do not offer classes for children under 3rd grade, so I decided to put a Curriculum together myself. I  worked to tailor the program to my son’s interests as much as possible while keeping it fun and educational.  I also wanted to help him build […]
- [What's with Alcohol and Breast Cancer?](https://thepreppersdaily.com/whats-with-alcohol-and-breast-cancer/): Alcohol and Breast Cancer – did I really say those two things together in the same sentence? Yes, I did. Let me set the stage for you. It’s 5:00 p.m. and I’m making some chicken for dinner. I haven’t been watching the clock, not exactly, but I’m happy to see the time. I skip over to the fridge and pull out a bottle of white wine. Whenever I pour myself a glass of pinot gris, like I’m doing right now, I think of my husband’s grandmother. Great Grandma just celebrated her 99th birthday. She’s as hale, feisty, and sharp as ever. (Though a […]
- [How To Kickstart Your Homesteading Skills](https://thepreppersdaily.com/how-to-kickstart-your-homesteading-skills/): I know many of you are where I was a few years ago. You have this drive, this desire to be more self sufficient. You want to provide more for yourself, have more control over your life. You want to spend your hours working for yourself, not working for someone else to get the money to buy what you need. Your soul howls each day you are stuck in the city or urban area, wanting to be free. You dream of the day you can move ‘away from it all’ and take charge of your path. OH yes, I know […]
- [How to Grow Asparagus from Seed](https://thepreppersdaily.com/how-to-grow-asparagus-from-seed/): ]Starting asparagus from seed is easy, and it’ll save you a lot of money compared to buying pricey asparagus crowns.  Nurseries sell asparagus crowns, which are just bare root 1-year-old plants, for as much as $5 each.  A potted asparagus plant will set you back $10 to $12 in the spring.  A single seed packet, on the other hand, costs about $3 for a pack of 50 to 100 seeds.  That’s a tiny investment for a whole field of homegrown asparagus.   Can You Grow Asparagus from Seed? Yes!  Asparagus is a flowering plant that produces seeds, just like any other […]
- [How To Prevent (and Treat!) Snake Bites](https://thepreppersdaily.com/how-to-prevent-and-treat-snake-bites/): If there’s one thing that is guaranteed to send shivers down the spine of even the most experienced trekker, it’s the sight of a venomous snake. Every year in North America, there are a reported 8,000 bites by venomous snakes – and the figures unreported bites are thought to be much higher. This might sound like a startlingly large number, however, the truth is that very few of these bites result in death. In fact, it is estimated that there just five fatalities per year. To put things into perspective, you are nine times more likely to be killed by lightning […]
- [Review - Survival Generator for Well Pump, Caravan, and Welding Machines](https://thepreppersdaily.com/review-survival-generator-for-well-pump-caravan-and-welding-machines/): One of the most important items you should have stored away for an emergency is a good quality high power 110v electric generator. These can come in handy when there is a blackout, or if you just need to get some power to a remote part of your property to run a water well pump. As an electrician, I always had a little 1000w EU10i Honda generator set up in the back of my van. It came with the van when I got my job and it was ok with simple power tools. But when I would load it up with […]

Over the years many friends, family, and co-workers have come to me for firearm advice. Initially, I was very reluctant to give advice as I am no expert and I myself always seek the advice of those I feel are very knowledgeable. After attempts of pointing them in the right direction, I’ve learned those with lesser knowledge of firearms really don’t know how to differentiate somebody that knows their stuff and somebody who doesn’t. Disappointed with the results these people got elsewhere made me realized I […]

- [How to Preserve and Store the Harvest](https://thepreppersdaily.com/how-to-preserve-and-store-the-harvest/): Canning, Preserving and Storing the Harvest When we consider canning, preserving and storing the harvest, keeping food safe for later is the goal. Whether we are preparing for a gathering, an event, or preparedness, food is a necessary item.

- [How to Barter and Trade in an SHTF Economy](https://thepreppersdaily.com/how-to-barter-and-trade-in-an-shtf-economy/): Barter is a hot topic in prepper circles, so I thought we thought we should tap more deeply on this matter. How quickly did people turn to barter once your city was locked down? It was a matter of a few weeks. Actually, for ordinary folks, it was a matter of few weeks because we did not get the new reality right at the beginning of everything. Later when I remembered that period, I realized that even right at the beginning of SHTF there were people who did not want to take money for goods. They asked for valuables like […]
- [The Power of Honey](https://thepreppersdaily.com/the-power-of-honey/): Ready Nutrition readers, the use of honey in medical emergencies is older than recorded history. There are many reasons that honey is excellent for use in first aid and homeopathic aids such as cuts, abrasions, burns, coughs, colds, and infections. Honey has anti-inflammatory properties and is also anti-bacterial/microbial in nature. Honey is bacteriostatic against certain “bugs” such as E. coli and Salmonella. Bacteriostatic means that honey prevents these organisms from growing…and as these two are found in food, that’s a good thing. Honey actually fights against bacteria such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Staphylococcus aureus. The latter is the most common bacteria […]
- [The Prep Money Can’t Buy](https://thepreppersdaily.com/the-prep-money-cant-buy/): It’s Ironic that for several years now, individuals and families that have felt the need to prepare with extra food and other necessities have been maligned by the MSM as fringe, radicals, doomers, extremists, and numerous other pejoratives.   If you get kicked by a mule once, it’s a teachable moment, twice, you lack common sense. Yet, when the elite from silicone valley, Hollywood and Wall Street feel the need for prepping and buy missile silos, apocalypse-proof bunkers, and farms in New Zealand; they are hailed as enlightened progressives and other smarmy accolades. There is one absolutely essential intangible, however; […]

Today we are talking about freezer meals and batch cooking. I know you don’t use a ton of freezer ’cause you do a ton of canning”, which is true.  But there are items that just don’t lend themselves for safety reasons or quality issues, which we don’t can.  And I realize that not everybody cans as much as I […]
- [How to Sleep Dry While Camping in the Rain](https://thepreppersdaily.com/how-to-sleep-dry-while-camping-in-the-rain/):   Here you can see the ditch going around the tent. It has been raining hard on and off for the last several days. This resulted in a discussion about sleeping dry while camping in the rain. It’s surprising how little even experienced campers know about the subject, especially if they have generally camped during great weather or in drier locations. For them, the extent of their knowledge and preparedness comes down to depending on their tent alone to keep them dry. Unless you want to end up with your gear soaked with water, soggy food, and wearing wet clothes, […]
- [How to Get Rich Independently](https://thepreppersdaily.com/how-to-get-rich-independently/):   Store Cash Without Banks: How To Grow Wealth Independently Since October of 2000, 555 banks have failed in the United States. It is only fair to mention that 465 of these closed in the period from 2008-2012. During a bank failure, people who have deposited their money in the bank would be completely unable to withdraw it. Almost all bank accounts are insured by the FDIC up to $250,000, so the odds of loss in a true bank failure are relatively slim. But that doesn’t mean there are no reasons for storing some of your money elsewhere… Big Bank […]

Everyone has their own reasons for homesteading. Personally, I feel like the food-world, the […]

Some would say survival, others would say catastrophe or crisis. At the end of the day, we are all just preparing for an interruption in the day-to-day life we’re used to. The media always seems to show that all ‘preppers’ are getting ready for some huge event. Some end-of-times, biblical, end-of-the-world chaos. While there are those out there who focus on one type of disaster, this is far from the norm. Very far. Most preppers are people who don’t even realize they are preppers! It’s […]

Am I allowed to say that? There I go, losing my homesteader status points again… I’m going to blame the cookbook and the shall-not-yet-be-named undisclosed project for eating up all of my allotted creativity for the year. I got nuthin’.  I guess I did do some fermented pickled green beans, although that was more in the name of laziness and not wanting to pull out the pressure canner, rather than a stroke of creative genius. Dang you, cookbook. However, even in a complete creative slump, it’s kinda hard […]

But in the hectic pull of the moment, the outcome is not always so certain.  Competing interests and rivalries struggle for control amidst shifting and uncertain political currents.  Old institutions, that seemed beyond reproach, crumble in an instant and are replaced by structures and forces that no one […]

I liked it but after a while it got boring. A couple years ago I tried steaming it cubed up. And grilled. Grilled is by far the best for my family. In fact, my daughter specifically asks for it cooked that way.” At […]

It was part of a course in Biodynamic Farming and Gardening that included studies about what was known as Appropriate, or Alternative Technology. Because I was preparing to work in Africa, I felt sure I would need such technologies in my work in Botswana. But once my husband, daughter, and I arrived in southern Africa, we were given a very different picture. Rural, village people did not want to be “talked down to” with the suggestion that they embrace simple solutions; they aspired to be like their friends and […]
