Of Negatives And Positives

Breaking News, Trending

By the middle of the morning on Saturday Diane’s kids were up and watching cable TV in the next room, eating freshly baked cinnamon rolls. Survival Sally and Diane continued their conversation. “Sally, I love your money saving tips,” said Diane, “and I think Duane will, too.” “Uh, oh, here comes the ‘But,’” said Sally laughingly. “Well, yes,” Diane began. “All this talk about being prepared for bad things to come is important I’m sure, but it all sounds so negative. I don’t want to bring my kids up in that kind of an atmosphere.” “As Sam is fond of saying, ‘The world is an unfriendly place.’ The trick is getting through life the best way possible.

Joe and I talked about these things on this week’s DestinySurvi...

Online Security–How Concerned Should Preppers Be?

They wonder whether it’s safe to make purchases from my site or other prepper sites. In fact, is it even safe to view such sites? I’ve assured readers that, to the best of my knowledge, any tracking being done is by advertisers who are more interested in their buyng habits than the government is in gathering data. Of course, that may not always be the case. The main thing is to practice common sense by not deliberately revealing too much about yourself online. Back in the spring I interviewed Riverwalker for DestinySurvival Radio on the subject of OP SEC and how preppers can practice discretion to protect themselves and their families. I wrote a po...
