Prepper Diary

Left on the side of the highway after my car crash, I have to figure out what to do next.

I was in a head-on collision with another vehicle and both my airbags deployed. I survived largely uninjured, and a learned an important lesson or two.

Our gravity-fed water system gives us free, clean water even when the power is out or in a post-SHTF situation.

As the weather turns cooler, Pete fires up his wood stoves to take the mountain chill out of the evening air.

Our old house is for sale so we're bugging out to the mountains. Moving has encouraged us to downsize and minimize.

With five more days until Election Day and a potential coronavirus-inspired lockdown in the future, we visit Sam’s Club to see what is in stock.

Sometimes what looked like a simple chore throws you a curve ball.

Lots of threats and fears about election day violence, lost ballots, miscounts and delays. I voted early to avoid those issues.

Automobiles, tools and devices that are considered antiques to some are used by preppers to be prepared for a future without utilities and modern conveniences.

Never a dull day at Pete's Place as we've got chores to do and repairs to make as we get ready to move to our prepper property.
