We are coming up for air briefly to bring to you word of what has been going on, should you find interest in knowing. Today we will talk a little about hurricanes, our seasonal obligations progress, and a short talk on financial preparedness. First off, my friend Roach and I, whom attended survival weekend with me, entertained a very short discussion on possibly heading out and hitting a trail

I just came across this scary little piece linked below this morning. It is extremely good motivation for being prepared and self-reliant. I imagine the scenario will affect people in different manners depending on the densityof their location and their proximity to “nerve centers” in the country but secondary and tertiary effects would spread rapidly to the remaining populace. It is what the

I think I am about to stand in the gap here and take up the fight against current popular sentiment and slay the beast that is the Compact Fluorescent Light Bulb. Waiting in the wings to fill the void is the new harbinger of illumination and safety, the Light Emitting Diode light bulb… Part of our mission here was to really reduce our electricity usage, not because we would magically eliminate

In the beginning we created a page to hold the books that have helped us along or driven us along on our quest. One category of books was the What, Why & How category. The WWH books are the ones that drive us along, they are big motivating factors for why we are doing what we are doing. I just finished reading one that we have added to the list, it is extremely eye opening in light of current

The crops are coming in fast now and it is very exciting. We wanted to take a minute to share the progress. I personally had never tried collard greens, until a couple days ago. My Georgia collards had been a good producing crop so far, I had harvested and given away some to both parents already. Just the other day I went out and harvested a bit for myself, cleaned them up, prepped em, put

As promised and being that things are slow at the moment on the urban farm, today we bring to you an update on how our gardens are growing. First to aid your comparison I have gathered up links to the first posts about the garden and have included some dates…Read the Rest Here

Our blog is along the lines of many that are sprouting up nowadays. Simply put my wife and daughter and I (at 19 months as best as she can) have decided to change the way we live and plod methodically along to an eventual life of living on our own acreage and off the grid. We intend the blog to serve as somewhat of a journal or sharing of the experience. We plan to accomplish this over a 10

We have created this blog to serve as a mirror to the main blog we have on WordPress. We liked some of the features available on Blogger such as the Followers functionality.Whenever we put up a post on our main blog we are going to link to it from here so we can hopefully get some Blogger users to follow it as well.Our main blog is called Sursussel, which is short for Survivability,
