Survival Homestead Blog

It's up to you to survive when alone in the wilderness.

Welcome to the Survival Homestead Blog where you can follow my journey to prepare for disaster on a budget. While, it'd be nice to be able to just shell out the money to buy all the food, gear and even land in order to be prepared to handle a large-scale disaster.


Since I can't do that, I'll take it step by step, look for bargains, be inventive in finding dual uses for items, practice survival skills and increase my knowledge. Join me if you want. Together we'll get prepared.
