About:
Jason and Lorraine. In 2016 we sold most of our belongings and left the city in southern California to start a small homestead in the mountains of North Carolina. We left the city in search for a more minimal and intentional life. We became passionate about growing our own food and knowing what exactly is in our food after I (Jason) became diagnosed with cancer. Now 8 years in remission we as a family are on a journey to live our passions.
We document our life on YouTube videos to inspire others to get out of their comfort zone and not be afraid of change. We started our own online general store where we have available the things we make and use in real life. Thank you for following us on this incredible life changing journey!

Puerto Rico: What It’s Really Like After the SHTF | SHTFPreparedness

SHTFPreparedness may collect a share of sales or other compensation from the links on this page.

Puerto Rico is an island and I think when we saw that massive storm bearing down on the island we knew what was coming next. The first story I read was that the island could be without power for up to 6 months.

Image Credit: mashable.com

That was a terrifying realization in the modern world. I thought it would be very interesting to see how our nation responded. I was interested in seeing what aid looked like to an island that is so decimated.

SHTF Logistics

We learned from Puerto Rico that its not just about having the supplies and resources. There has to be a means of getting those resources to the people who need them. That takes logistics. Without planning how food, water, and medicine will move, following a disaster, you really have nothing. 

You can look at it the same way as the supply chain. Its post-disaster supply chain. 

The Florida Panhandle 

While Puerto Rico got a lot of press there was very little given to the Florida Pan Handle. At this moment there are still people living under little more than blue tarps. Whole lives have been reduced to meager belongings and tarp overhead. 

This terrifying situation is happening in the United States of America. It got almost hip to point out the fact that the people of Puerto Rico were suffering. Of course, no one wants to see that but what is happening in the Pan Handle is very alarming. 

What this tells us about FEMA is very clear. These government agencies are not inherently evil but they are inherently prepared to deal with disasters of this magnitude. That leaves us with only one answer. We must prepare ourselves. 

If you depend on yourself it will be much harder to fall short. 

Bonus: Root Cellar That Can Be Used as a Bunker

If you can’t afford the box culvert option you can look into is building a backyard root cellar that can be used as a bunker.

If you want to learn how to build a backyard bunker like your grandparents had, without breaking the bank, then check out Easy Cellar.

Easy Cellar will also show you how a veteran, with only $421, built a small nuclear bunker in his backyard.

SHTF Ammo Debate .308 or .223 | SHTFPreparedness

SHTFPreparedness may collect a share of sales or other compensation from the links on this page.

On a subject like this, there is an awful lot of conjecture. You find that many people have opinions but very few have factual data to support those opinions.

Of course, either round would be a great one to stockpile. I think this article offers some insight that will help you decide. Which weapons you choose is a big deal because you only have the option to carry so many.

The same can be said for rounds. When you are in a well-stocked shelter you have options but the moment you decide its time to bugout things change drastically.

End of the day this is your decision. Let’s look at three things to consider when looking at ammo choice. 

Power 

How important is power? Is it the only reason you are using your gun? Are you concerned with breaching heavily guarded areas, putting holes in body armor or are you looking for a weapon to hunt and deter with? 

Hopefully, you are looking for a weapon to deter with. If you are the type of person that is going to be killing and breaking into homes, well, not cool. 

The availability of ammo is also important. Can you readily find that caliber, is it cheap and can you store a lot of it? Which is easier and more available. You know that the .223 is carried by most militaries in the world, therefore, they are making a lot of it. 

Another big thing to consider is what do the other people you associate with carrying? More important than the caliber you choose is the compatibility you have with people in your group or mag. If you find yourself in a gunfight protecting the perimeter or on security detail, you want to be able to both give and receive ammo. Be sure you are not the guy with the obscure round or you will be the guy with no ammo. 

Bonus: Root Cellar That Can Be Used as a Bunker

If you can’t afford the box culvert option you can look into is building a backyard root cellar that can be used as a bunker.

If you want to learn how to build a backyard bunker like your grandparents had, without breaking the bank, then check out Easy Cellar.
