Lighting fires is never easy in a survival situation. So for those times when you have some sun, this is a great tool, and it’s cheap.

Prepping 101: How to Make Soap – The Video
BY Paul Helinski Updated: October 28, 2016This week I am returning to making soap for no other particular reason other than making a video. I know that many of my regular readers went on to actually make soap after my original article almost exactly two years ago. And since we pick up over 1,000 subscribers per day here, I’m sure lots of new dedicated readers/watchers didn’t even know it was there.

Prepping 101: Canning Boston Brown Bread – Fill Those Empty Ball Jars
BY Paul Helinski Updated: October 16, 2016I was thinking. Does it make any sense to keep a bunch of Ball canning jars full of nothing? That is an easy answer. No. They are insect and rodent proof, so it actually makes a lot of sense to pack them full of at least something, flour, beans, rice, pasta, dried milk powder, anything that will keep for a long time under any long term storage packaging. But what about cooked food? What about processing the jars now with edible food? Veggies don’t have much in the way of calories. Meat is cheaper to buy canned than it is to can it yourself. That was when I remembered Boston Brown Bread.
Prepping 101: How To Buy Gold and Silver Cheap (At Walmart)

#Prepping101 – Bug Out Weapon Legal 50 States – The Pocket Shot – Field Test Review
BY Paul Helinski Updated: September 25, 2016In the survival world some products are in a class by themselves. I decided that this would be the case with a new discovery I made last week called “The Pocket Shot.” Originally I had intended to cover slingshots and slingshot arrow shooting contraptions, and in my travels I discovered The Pocket Shot, but when it got here I quickly realized that it deserved its own space. The Pocket Shot is really just a thick rubber balloon, held by a plastic ring. But this simple device is not a toy, and a serious weapon. It fires standard slingshot balls, and there is a full arrow kit. As something that you can slip into a bugout bag, where nobody would even suspect that it is a weapon, I don’t think that The Pocket Shot has an equal.
Prepping 101: $4 Firestarter Disk From China – Field Test
BY Paul Helinski Updated: September 17, 2016This week I’m just sharing a pretty cool find with you guys that I scored on a website called Banggood. It’s about the dumbest name for a retail website ever, but they do a good deal of advertising on Facebook and I’ve ordered from them before. A couple weeks ago this nifty little fire starting disk came up on my ads, and I just assumed I’d order it and it wouldn’t work.
Prepping 101: Large and Small Animal Traps – Survival Snares
BY Paul Helinski Updated: September 11, 2016I often laugh at survival advertisements that feature a guy in camo and a bandana on his head, with a dirty face of course lol. Live of the land! Sharpen a stick and spear deer with it. Eat roots. And for most of us, dead in two weeks, including the idiot with the bandana on his head.
