WHEN THE GRID DIES: Inside the First 90 Days of America’s Vanished Civilization — How a Single Blackout Could Unravel a Modern World
by Milan Adams, Prepp Group:
Editor’s Note
For decades, infrastructure analysts, military planners, and emergency preparedness experts have warned that modern civilization is built upon a dangerously fragile foundation. Electricity is no longer merely a convenience of industrial society; it is the bloodstream of every institution sustaining modern life. Water purification systems, food distribution chains, hospitals, communication networks, banking systems, fuel pipelines, transportation corridors, satellite infrastructure, and emergency services all depend upon uninterrupted electrical continuity. What follows is a dramatized reconstruction of a prolonged nationwide blackout and the sequence of societal failures that unfolds afterward. Though fictionalized for narrative intensity, the mechanisms behind the collapse are rooted in real vulnerabilities documented by energy experts, cybersecurity specialists, and federal emergency studies over the past several decades.
Post-SHTF Lighting: Testing My Preps – Part 2
by St. Funogas, Survival Blog:
As mentioned, to make this test more valuable to the majority of the readers I didn’t use my 3,000-watt home solar-panel system for lighting or charging batteries. I did, however, use a few smaller portable solar panels I have.
1 – 100-watt panel
1 – 15-watt panel
1 – 20-watt panel
1 – 1.8-watt trickle charger
As you’d expect, the larger a solar panel is the more quickly it’ll charge a battery. For preppers who are currently without any solar panels, though not ideal, inexpensive 15-to-25-watt panels could be purchased and tucked away to be used if the SHTF. For those wanting to get more serious, I recommend a 100-watt solar panel which are currently available beginning around $50.
Post-SHTF Lighting: Testing My Preps – Part 1
by St. Funogas, Survival Blog:
‘This is another installment of my series of articles on how to light up our lives in TEOTWAWKIville. This article covers the results of my week-long experience testing my lighting preps.
I expected this preps test to be a fairly simple but, as always, it proved to be more useful and eye-opening than I would have guessed. As with other tests I’ve done, it showed where my preps were insufficient, but more importantly, I learned several things I hadn’t even considered with respect to lighting and therefore hadn’t even thought about preparing for. Another testimony to the importance of testing all our preps over a realistic time period, not just for a few hours.

Preparing Future Generations for an Uncertain Future – Part Six
by Single Farmer, Survival Blog:
(Continued from Part 5.)
Separating the Important from the Trivial
Things that usually do not matter much for most men as far as a potential wife: her height, her income, and specific traits such as hair or eye color. I have never heard a man talk about a woman’s height unless she was very tall — which is statistically rare. Men are rarely concerned about a woman’s income unless they are looking for support. I don’t have a “type” and most men do not have a type such as only blondes or redheads.
With The Ceasefire Dead, The Mad Max Scenario is Now the Most Likely Outcome
by Mike Adams, The Health Ranger’s newsletter:
I watched the so-called ceasefire announcement with a sense of exhausted disbelief, a feeling I suspect many of you shared. Here we are, in April 2026, and the charade continues. President Donald Trump, fresh from his 2024 victory, declared a ‘two-way ceasefire’ with Iran, a move breathlessly reported by the corporate press as a diplomatic triumph [1]. I knew better. It was a strategic surrender, a desperate act of market manipulation by a regime that has long since abandoned any pretense of statesmanship. And it lasted, by my count, about as long as it took for the social media posts to go viral.
The First Nine Survival Items You Should Buy
by Big John, Survival Blog:
I’ll make my list of the first nine survival items that you should buy really simple for you.
The first two big-dollar items that you should buy are the Self Reliance Outfitters Canteen set and heavy duty space blanker/tarp. These two items are really must-have items. Dave Canterbury of Self Reliance Outfitters had these items custom-made. They are industrial strength and designed just like I would have done so myself.
The canteen. It is similar to the old metal army canteen setup. But it is bigger and has a bigger mouth. It is nested in a canteen cup with a handle for drinking from and to use for cooking food and boiling water. You get a cooking cover too, to go over the canteen cup. Then you get another stacking cup with holes in it that serves as your cooking stove. So you can cook with twigs. The idea is that the canteen cup sits on top of the Stove. A ferro rod is included with the canteen along with some sort of cordage.
Stocking Items for Barter
by Big John, Survival Blog:
Along with all of the other items that a seasoned Prepper has, barter items are critical. You undoubtedly will need items that you forgot to stockpile during the good times. This area of prepping needs to be approached with the same meticulous logical order as all of your other prepping gear.
Your trading partner, the one with those critical items that you need to survive must be satisfied. You’ve gotta have stuff that he really needs, not just stuff that fit into the category of general prepping items. He may have no need for ammo but desperately needs antibiotics. So antibiotics are what you want to have on hand in excess…in that particular situation.
My Prepping Journey
by Big John, Survival Blog:
My Prepping Journey began in 1967 when I moved to San Francisco. Spots on the radio urged us to prepare for an earthquake, The Big One. So one day while I was grocery shopping, I threw a flashlight in my cart and then put it in my trunk. On another trip I threw a cardboard box into my trunk. In the ensuing months, I added some bottles of water, a knife, some Power Bars, and cans of soup. I later learned that the heat of the trunk would destroy the soup, so I replaced it with beef jerky and peanuts. Some time later, while in a Big-5 Sporting Goods store, I picked up a backpack. When I moved the contents of the cardboard box into the backpack, I had officially become a Prepper. But I had not yet heard the term.
How to Source “Real Food” if You Can’t Grow it Yourself
by SaraSue, Survival Blog:
I’m sure most everyone is familiar now with the seemingly sudden change in the Food Pyramid. The Food Pyramid has essentially been flipped on its head. Whereas, grains were considered a “foundational” food, meats (proteins), vegetables, and dairy are now considered to be foundational. I am very pleased to see this change at the federal government level because it’s going to impact all federal programs for the better, in my opinion, such as feeding children, the less fortunate, healthcare, and nutrition guidelines.
Are Americans Up to the Task of Survival?
by Paul Craig Roberts, Paul Craig Roberts:
Trump gets told off:
“We had a good thing, you stupid son of a bitch! We had an Al boom. We had a Supreme Court supermajority. We had both branches of Congress. We had everything we needed to save America and it all ran like clockwork. You could’ve shut your mouth, played golf, and stole as much money for your family as you ever needed. It was perfect. But no, you just had to blow it up. You, and your debt to Israel and your ego.
You just had to make Netanyahu the man! If you’d done your job, known your place, we’d all be fine right now.”
Beyond Organic: Biological Systems Gardening for Food Security – Part 2
by Sarah Latimer, Survival Blog:
(Continued from Part 1.)
Principle #1: You Are a Microbe Farmer
Do you want to sustainably grow healthy, nutritious, produce? Congratulations . You are now a microbe farmer! The first principle of biodynamic gardening is you are no longer growing plants, you are raising trillions upon trillions of microbes. If you can create an environment that supports a healthy soil ecosystem full of bacteria, fungi, and other soil organisms then ANY plants adapted to that environment will thrive.

Going Off Grid In The Tropics – Part 2
by Conan Stevens, Survival Blog:
(Continued from Part 1. This concludes the article.)
To give a vivid image of what it is still like here, the next smaller village over where my girl grew up still has a single electrical wire held up by bamboo poles with a 3W LED bulb dangling off every 100m (330 ft) or so for street lights, and house wiring running off that same single wire. But the sand roads were concreted over a few years ago, so there is improvement happening.
