  • Backup Files, The Cloud And You

    One of the main reason for the lack of updates recently was my laptop troubles. It became unstable and would often not turn on. I borrowed one from my brother and was able to get some posts out but still had issues. Mine was set up to be efficient on writing articles and I was used to it. The keys were all in the wrong place on the borrowed one and I made even more spelling errors than normal. I was holding out till this past weekend, that was tax free, to get a new laptop and continue writing. I still have some work to do to get used to the new one and set it up. So far I’m hating windows 8 by the way. besides having to buy a new one though the old one dying didn’t bother me very much. Normally it means the loss of data and valuable things. With me I didn’t have that problem and I will share with you what I did to make my system prepared for a failure.

  • Don’t Tell Too Much

    Don’t Tell Too Much

    Today were going to discuss a little Operational Security. I don’t go down that hole too much, I’m pretty public which I have to be for the site. There are a few tips to help you out though. What prompted this post was a friend of mine on facebook. She has a habit of posting her daily activities. I think this is a terrible idea and I’m going to tell you why.

  • New Sponsor LPC Survival

    New Sponsor LPC Survival

    Today I’m proud to introduce a great new sponsor to the Survivalpunk Blog. LPC Survival is ran by the awesome Jeff “The Berkey Guy” Gleason. Jeff with his site Directive21 have lots of great prepper items as well as the best in water purification products, Berkey Filters, on the market. Jeff has been in business for over seven years. I googled around and was not able to find a single customer complaint that was not fixed. To be in business that long with no complaints is a huge accomplishment.
