It's important to study history and learn from the experiences.
The Great Depression, a challenging period in history, offers several lessons that can be applied to prepping.
This first segment is more about the hard times we may come to face, not about surviving some great apocalyptic event leaving us grid down for an extended times.
The 2nd segment details my recent bout with strep throat and an upper respiratory infection, which caused me to ponder how I would have fared in a grid-down situation. Third segment is some how-to's on keeping food long-term in the freezer.

Chris Weatherman, also known A. American, or Angery American, (not a typo) is the author of twenty-two books, including The Survivalist Series."  His book, "Going Home" was one of the early books in the post apocalyptic genre, and it's a good read.

Chris is a life-long student of survival skills, a teacher and speaker, and an expert on survival skills. 

This is an interview with him, where we discuss getting started in solar power, and a little bit about HAM radio and it's importance in prepper communications.

Preppers are often concerned about the effects that an EMP or a CME would have on our world.
CME is something over which man has no control.
EMP is a politicized weapon of war that would cause and immediate world war.

What if there is a weapon of far greater danger, and could be unleashed on a single country, and effectively destroy that country, without firing a shot?
