You know how Your Survival Guy feels about being prepared on the water, food, self-defense, and cash front, to name a few. You must deal with each item individually and perform stress tests regularly to see where you stand. In times like these, it’s not getting any cheaper, so imagine how you’ll feel a year […]
Your Survival Guy: DARKNESS and WITHOUT POWER AGAIN
OK, Your Survival Guy awoke with a start this morning as our bedroom fan stopped turning—the silence deafening—the normal steady cadence, like crashing waves, is usually the background noise dreams are made of. But when it stops, something’s wrong. “What was that droning sound?” I wondered. Military choppers doing a predawn exercise at First Beach? […]
Your Survival Guy’s Thoughts on the Blizzard of ’22
OK, that was interesting. For about 24-hours it felt like we were living inside a snow globe being shaken around by a four-year-old. If it was at a ski resort, the skiing would have been epic. I haven’t seen this much snow in Newport ever and the closest comparison for the region would be the […]
DISASTER? Your Survival Guy’s Gas Stove is Broken: Part II
Miracles do happen. As you know from yesterday, Your Survival Guy’s AGA stove stopped working. Not good, and for some background, getting service, is near impossible. The closest guy I have is four hours away. Not exactly convenient and when I ask other companies for service it’s met with “we don’t service AGAs.” So, like […]
If It Ain’t Broke Don’t Try and Fix It
You and me? We’re the same. We’re simple people. We like simple quotes that wrap up life in a tidy package with a red ribbon. Here’s a couple of quotes I’m thinking about this morning. “If it’s too good to be true, then it probably is,” and, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” Simple. […]
Boom: An Arc-Flash Explosion on Billionaire’s Row
“The developer of 432 Park Avenue, one of the world’s tallest and most luxurious condominium towers, on Wednesday filed its answer to a $125 million lawsuit from the building’s condo board over alleged construction defects, calling the board’s suit ‘ill-advised’ and ‘an effort to wrest unwarranted payments’ from the developer,” reports The Wall Street Journal. […]
FIRE AND ICE: Defeat the Cold by Stocking Firewood
Have you seen the price of wood lately? Your Survival Guy almost choked on his freeze-dried ice cream sandwich when he received a quote on firewood. “Oh, sure, we got kiln-dried firewood for $290 a half-cord for December 21st delivery. That work for you?” This was October. Not good. And yet, I think there was […]
Listen Your Survival Guy is not “Mr. Peanut”
Your Survival Guy loves the holidays. But let’s get something out of the way. Your survival food prep should not be considered “free game” for one and all. You’re not running a convenience store; you’re trying to plan for the unexpected. But that’s what it feels like sometimes, like I’m a stock boy. Case in […]

Get Your Guns and Your Training—NOW
Originally posted February 4, 2013. Are you aware of New York State’s new gun laws? Big city New Yorkers voted in Governor Cuomo and deserve what they got. Away from NYC and surrounds, many local law enforcement officers have no intention of implementing a shred of Cuomo’s insanity. New Yorkers now have both the opportunity […]
