Helpful websites for preppers - The War Wagon - 04-07-2020

A few sites I've long found helpful, and bear revisiting in these interesting days: not only because of their DiY how-to's, but ALSO because of their economic outlooks as well.

Investing at the local/homestead level, LYSOL is "king" at the moment - next week, it might ammo! I learned my appreciation for "junk silver" from Survivalblog 14 years ago, and have been a silver bug ever since.

I find something useful each day at them - feel free to add onto this list with other good sites that you're aware of.

#1)

The ORIGINAL, I discovered https://survivalblog.com/ during the economic downturn that started in 2006. Prepping, gardening, retreat reality, investing, firearms & other weapon-craft, cooking, animal husbandry, faith, history, the Constitution - you NAME it, it's BEEN covered here! The site search engine is EXTREMELY easy to use (I can easily find the few articles I've written - even from years ago - with few search-words), and as we're all stuck at home right now, some "catch-up" reading is easy enough to do! J.W. Rawles - owner/proprietor of the website, is also the author of the best-selling survivalist novel, "Patriots."

I discovered George's site - https://urbansurvival.com/ - about '06 as well, and while I haven't been as FREQUENT a reader of late, I have been re-visiting his site since MEDIA PANDEMONIUM VIRUS broke out. George has some FASCINATING socio/economic insights to the times, and while not QUITE the "character" of say, Alex Jones, he does 'brush the wall' from time to time, in NASCAR parlance. Wink

He is ALSO a "practice-what-you-preacher" sort, with his prepping/homestead setup in west TX. This site WILL may you examine the signs o' the times, in an out-of-the-box fashion, and making sure the brain is your MOST focused piece of equipment, ain't a bad thing...

The title is pretty self-explanatory. A constantly scrolling worldwide update - http://outbreaks.globalincidentmap.com/ - the map can also be zoomed - right down to PA, your SECTOR, and even your NEIGHBORHOOD - to see whether the neighbors have MEDIA PANDEMONIUM VIRUS, or if Zeds are finally rising!

The mother site to #3 - http://www.globalincidentmap.com/ - I learned of this site around 2006 as well. Whether it's an industrial accident, terrorist attack, nuclear power plant meltdown, natural disaster, plane crash - you NAME it; it'll be marked here, and details (as they are available, and oftentimes AHEAD of the lamestream media) provided!

LOVE this guy - I've actually visited him at his home and had pizza with him and his kids! If you're still on POOFA, you probably know him as "Streaker69," but he actually has a useful side, too. Wink

I found his website - http://www.jedidiahstolzfus.com/ - a few years back (after I'd visited him), and found that his mad skillz were finally on-line (he was re-purposing a server cabinet, the day I dropped in!). If the "new normal" ends up looking a LOT like 1930 Confused

... "re-purposing/refurnishing," will become the new 'hotness' for us all!

Hopefully these will prove as useful to you, as they have to me. Feel free to add some more, and a brief description for the rest of us.

I was a subscriber to many survival blogs and pretty much through the years read for the most of it, all of them.
Now years later I'm still reading but lately they've been blowing up my inbox day in and day out so I un-subscribed.
I pretty much have it down to a science now and can figure it out as I go along.
I am pretty damn prepared for everything and anything and am sure that I can be able to think on my feet and in an instant.
Those links are awesome if you're just starting out, but if you've been in the prepper game awhile now, there's not much info they can teach a guy these days.
It's really about thinking for yourself, doing what needs to be done and using your head and gut instincts.

NO argument with any of that. As noted, I've been reading them since 2006. But I never subscribed (saved my "inbox!"), but bookmarked 'em in my toolbar instead.

Since I'm hoping a "BENEFIT" of this current crisis, might be some new folks joining, I figured this a good place for them to start - which is why I stickied it, too.

Since being prepared for weather is prepping too, and borrowing from my earlier post, here are three great, easy-to-read websites regarding the same.

https://livestormchasing.com/map - The best site for storm chasers, as you can follow their feeds. Bottom left, allows you to display warnings as desired.

https://www.severestudios.com/livechase/ - NOT as many chasers, but click on "dashboard," and you can zoom in on what the mesos & precipitation are doing around YOU.

http://www.lightningmaps.org/ - track lightning, specifically, around you, and elsewhere. Essential to know, because as lightning intensifies, so does the storm. The other two radars don't show lightning, and lightning can tell you whether an approaching storm is strengthening, or weakening.

Here's another good one with a great storehouse of constantly updated & useful links! NC Renegades

This guy reminds me of the typical TARHEEL patriot I grew up with down there in the '70's & '80's, before the state was infiltrated by carpetbaggers escaping the weenified unionized libtardia of the northeast! Rolleyes
