How To Save Money By Making Pumpkin Spice At Home

Pumpkin Spice is expensive. A tiny container that is only slightly over 1 ounce is in the $3~$4 price range. What if you want more than that? That tiny container won’t last you all fall. You could easily use more than a couple of those doing the recipes in my upcoming Paleo Pumpkin Recipies Ebook. So we need to make it ourselves. Luckily this is both cheap and easy.
By cheap, I don’t mean less than the price of 1 container of pumpkin spice. To make this mix it will be a larger upfront cost. Probably in the $10 range. But you will make enough to last all year.

If you are like me you probably have all the ingredients to make pumpkin spice already. Or some of them. I feel that the main two ingredients are Cinnamon and nutmeg. You can’t make this without those two. No way no how. You will just have noodle water seasoning. The rest of the spices you can play with to suit your taste.

Indivisible: Come and Take It

Troy Grice emailed me recently saying that he had just finished writing Indivisible: Come and Take It (Amazon Link). Additionally he wanted to know if I was interested in reading it and reviewing it. Well of course! The first one Indivisible: And Justice For Some was a great read. If only I wasn’t such a slow reader.

12 Preps You Can Do For National Preparedness Month 2016

Are you ready for National Preparedness Month 2016? I feel like this should be read by a Monster Truck commercial guy. You know the ones where they repeat the day like three times. National Preparedness Month 2016 is coming to your arena this SUNDAY SUNDAY SUNDAY!!!

That’s how I feel about it anyway. While we should prepare all the time. But September is special. Sure it’s great that the government actually gives reasonable recommendations on their Ready.gov Site. And even though I am very libertarian leaning. To the point of anarchy. I will admit when they do something I like. Telling Americans to get a kit and make a plan is worthy of a crisp high five.

For us preppers, though this is like a month long holiday. It is OUR month! It gives me the fizzies in my stomach. I love it. Since it is so important of a month I like to use it as a time marker. What I mean by that is I schedule certain things periodically. Things like checking your food

Things like checking your food preps for expiration dates. I like to check the dates twice a year. Fall and Spring. So for the fall one, I will plan it during National Preparedness Month. I won’t even go into the expiration date myth. I mostly check for physical signs of damage or swelling of the cans.

We Cover all that and Much more!

What do you do for National Preparedness Month? Let me know in the comments!

How Should You Store Your Magazines? Best Practices Infographic

How Should You Store Your Magazines

Years ago I wrote about How Should You Store Your Magazines? In it, I debated whether storing loaded or unloaded was best. Three years later I have not changed my stance on that debate. When I’m asked, “should I keep my AR Mags loaded?” I answer Yes. Then I go on to explain the nuances. I felt like it was time to freshen up that article with a new presentation. Same info. Now that It has been turned into an infographic even a caveman can understand it.

Being Ready Vs. Spring Failure

The magazine storage debate stems from being ready vs spring failure. If you took the possibility of magazine failure off the table everyone would load all their magazines and store them loaded. How should you store your magazines would be a nonissue.

Having magazines loaded means that you are ready to use them in an instant. Even using stripper clips it’s still going to take you precious time to load just one magazine. Do you really want to be dicking around stuffing in ammo during an emergency?

The other side of the argument is spring failure. Metal under tension will weaken over time. So It is possible that if you left your magazines loaded over a long time you could have spring failure. And I’m sure someone will chime in with their mother’s, brother’s, sister’s, cousin’s, auntie’s, Uncle Barney’s, father’s, brother had a cousin from Killarney that left their magazines loaded and the spring went bad. Yes, it could happen. But it probably won’t.

The solution you’ll see explained in the How Should You Store Your Magazines Infographic. Enjoy and share with all your buddies so you can start arguments on the best way to store magazines.
