The pandemic has led to an increase in doctor’s visits and consultations via video call or chat. Medical offices that previously required in-person visits for straightforward matters are now encouraging virtual appointments. It is also much easier to get a consultation and prescription entirely online, even if you don’t have a regular doctor. You can also get emergency refills of meds. This can be handy if you cannot get an appt with your regular doctor for some reason. I wanted to share my experience using an online doctor service and provide fellow preppers with a good list of online resources...

There is a lot of survival food to choose from. Preppers need to be careful when purchasing food buckets. They are not all the same, and just because one cost’s more doesn’t necessarily mean it is any better.

This year has been challenging for everyone. But like any tumultuous year, life goes on in many ways and there is always new life popping up. This time it happened to me. My husband and I really increased how much we were prepping at the beginning of the pandemic. As time wore on and civil unrest came into the mix in the cities, we prepped even more. Matt grew a lot of gardens, and we put back what we could not eat fresh. At 37 years old, we really thought that kids were not possible for us. A few years...

I would not be where I am today without homeschooling. While I did well in public school, I spent a lot of time bored. In grade school, they let me wander around and explore the old stacks of books in the basement or go to the library. At one point, I spent about 25% of my school day just reading.

I am in contact with...
