Hopefully now the anti-gun crowd will see how wrong they are. http://www.foxnews.com/us/2018/08/06/florida-armed-bystander-stops-gunman-at-crowded-back-to-school-event-at-park-police-say.html

If you have very picky eaters in your family, you might consider asking your Dr about medical food for use If SHTF. Abbott makes one called EleCare which I have not tried yet. However, I am a big fan of Abbott. After I had a very rare complication from gall bladders surgery, banana PediaSure was...

This week, I picked my son up from pre-school and I noticed that his 'extra' clothes were out of season. When we got home, I repacked him some warmer cold weather clothes that are just a bit too big. That got me thinking... This year, during holiday sales, I think I'm going to go and pick-up...

How long has it been since you checked your kids' bug out bag? And your own? So tonight, I was putting away my new rifle when I glanced at my son's awesome Monsters Inc BOB. I started to go on with business but then realized with the changing seasons, I should make sure it was up to snuff...

So WE prepare in so many ways, assuming we will be here to protect our kids. But what if we are not here? What if some of our kids are left behind after a rapture to fend for themselves. Have you thought about preparing unbelieving loved ones for post rapture world?

Heard that the other day. That's what we should be teaching our kids!

I got my young son a Little Tykes Police Car and I am trying to add lights to it to make it look like the real police cruiser. It will have a blue/red mini light bar on top, functional headlights and tail lights, and strobes. Another guy did something like this before and I am trying to put my...

Hi all! I have recently been given the opportunity to be the focal point of a news segment that will be aired in another country (in the EU). The primary focus is on teaching kids guns safety. I applied because's its a topic I feel strongly about, and was chosen due to a children's book I've...

Hope this finds everyone doing well. I'm hoping to pick the brain of you experts that crawl through the forums here. I recently published (as in, today is the release date!) a children's book that talks about prepping and I'm interested in feedback from everyone here about the future of the...

So here is my first started post outside of the new member intro thread. I've spent my time here mostly reading and replying a little here and there. Either way, I feel like I've combed the forum decently in search of what I'm posting here. I do hope this is not a repeat (I promise not...

I just moved back to Kitsap County a few months back. I have no one to train with or to talk about prepping with. Now I could sit home and be on here all day but that isn't going to work very well. So here is my plan... May 11, 2013 I am going to have a small picnic get together from around...

I thought it would be helpful to have a thread to list current opportunities for learning and fun for both kids and adults. This came to me today. I no longer have kids this age, but what a great and fun time to learn some valuable skills. I have no affiliation but we are supporters of C.C.A...

Hey Fellow Preppers! This is my first of what I hope is many contributions to the forum in appreciation for everyone's advice, information and suggestions through their posts. The Challenge The first step in laying out our family’s Bug Out and Bug In Plans was to win the hearts and minds of my...

I am trying to find out some consensus as to what age kids might/should start learning to shoot. I am not a parent (yet, thankfully), but I am an uncle to a 4 year old, and one of these days I want to get him a 22 youth bolt (cz makes a nice one). I understand that this has got to be something...

Ok, I've searched high and low and can't find anything about my particular problem so give me some advice on this. Im in Alabama. My kids(girls, 15,17) are in san Marcos, tx. When SHTF, how in the holy hogwollers do I get them here safely?!? Is it even possible? They live with my psychotic...

A friend of ours at church has a 5yo daughter that will be old enough to begin public school next year. She asked us about homeschooling, and we have had a couple long discussions about homeschooling with her. We homeschooled our children and we fully believe in it. She understands that...

Hi Ladies, My kids and I love to read together... so aside from the physical "do it like this" kind of teaching, I wondered if there was any other reading material you guys might suggest (other than Little House or Hatchet, have those!) that we could read together that have that kind of living...

I've just finished reading the 'SHTF and Pregnancy' thread. There were some very good thoughts and opinions on the matter of having kids knowing the state that the world is currently in and that things are not getting any better. But, for those family's out there who already have a baby or...

Hello. With the sun coming out more and more each day around here I've been thinking forward to late spring and summer and getting around to all those warm weather/outdoor activities my family always says we want to do but never get around to. I really want to get us out to do a lot of...

Hi there. I have two kids, just turned 3 and 4.5. I am looking into prepping them to do some basic survival skills, and I'm NO camper. Just a paranoid mom. Can you give me an idea of what basic things to start with? I mean, I have some ideas in my head, just looking for input from other women...
