He is the owner/writer and editor of Survival Sherpa, a website about their journey to self-reliance and preparedness and home of the Doing the Stuff Network.
He also feels stupid about writing this in third person, so he’ll switch back now…

Desert Rose, you made my day and you make me smile 🙂 I got into this blogging thing when DRG was diagnosed with cancer a year ago. It’s been a great outlet for me in the early morning hours. Alone time is rare – but necessary.

Hey Todd, I really like your blog. I have a blog but honestly with unschooling my three boys and running my urban homestead and other important things in life I do not set aside time to update it much. Anyway, I do want to offer this to you if you are interested: how about a few guest posts by me? I cannot guarantee a lot and you are free to say “no, thanks” to anything that I write or give me feedback to make the post better. Send me an email if you want to discuss this. Elissa

Hi Todd, I am just starting on this self reliance road. You talk about a Rabbit Hole 🙂 I feel more like I’m in a whirlpool! I finally decided water was the most important item. Only after I received my Waterbricks did I realize I need a water filter so I can fill them with good water, and drops or tablets or something to purify it. Argh! Every time I start to work toward something my head starts spinning.
Can you point me toward a good BEGINNER book? My husband would like me to have 6 months of food on hand. There has to be other things I can get besides Hamburger Helper.
Thanks,
Stacy

Hi Stacy, so glad to hear y’all are on the path to preparedness. Don’t let the circling drain scare you. The secret is to take it one step at a time. That may seem obvious to some, but it really works. Like your 6 month food storage goal, I don’t recommend buying it all at once. Number one, it’s too expensive. Plus, you need to take the time to figure out how to store what you eat. You may not like what you order from bulk storage foods.
Here’s a peek into our pantry. I don’t eat grains or other processed foods so my recommendations go against conventional prepper wisdom in this category. https://survivalsherpa.wordpress.com/2012/11/10/individual-preparedness-program-my-primal-preparedness-pantry/
Tess Pennington over at Ready Nutrition has blogged about food storage basics as have other fine bloggers in our community. As far as a book, there are many to choose from. I’m sorry that I don’t have one to suggest. I kinda went with my gut and my primal way of eating to come up with my food storage plan.
I hope this is helpful in some way, Stacy. Please keep us posted on your journey. And please don’t hesitate to jump in on the comments.
P.S. If you on Twitter, use the hash tag #PrepperTalk to connect with lots of beginners and experienced preppers that have lots of knowledge on getting ready.

I retired from the military 5 years ago and have found that I don’t really fit in normal civilization. But, the outdoors mainly the woods I found to be my saving grace. I feel free there and like I belong again. So, thank you for all the articles and keep them coming.

Hi Todd,
Came across your blog through twitter. I’m a school teacher myself here in Australia and interested in self reliance and getting back to age old skills. Good preparation is the best defence. I have a blog myself where I curate useful information for people interested in preparing well. You have very good content and I hope you will give me permission to use some of your content on my site with full accreditation back to yours. and maybe even write an article on my blog. The very next thing I’m going to do after submitting this post is vote for this site. Thanks again for what you do.

I just read your article, 39 Manly Uses for Coconut Oil. I found it to be very informative. I know nothing about coconut oil and its uses. Well, I did know nothing. Now, thanks to your article, I know a few uses for it. I do have a question about CO and I do realize that one must employ the use of that ever diminishing commodity known as common sense. So, here goes. Have you, while using CO on equipment and gear noticed whether or not it attracts insects or possibly unwanted guests such as raccoons or other critters that sifting through campsites? Being from Louisiana, it’s towards the top of the consideration list applied to everything I take to the camp whether it be in the woods or on the bayou. ie. If I apply it to an axe head or handle, will it be covered with ants the next time I pick it up?

I’ve never experience any problems with ants or insects on my tools coated with CO, Ronnie. That goes for other critters too. Good question though.

Just found your blog while looking for info on the obscure subject of mullein as toilet paper (which I’ve been told is a bad idea in a survival situation). You wrote an interesting article.
