Updated 12.16.03
There are a ton of websites and books out there with information on this topic. I've read a large number of them. Here are the ones I find most helpful:
Basic Level:
www.ready.gov -- excellent resource; ironically, the government sponsors it.
www.realgoods.com -- I bet the tree hugging liberals that own this company probably cringe at the fact I am recommending their stuff. But they have a lot of great solar powered items handy for long power outages.
www.rei.com -- camping outfitter with a lot of neat products for roughing it.
www.northerntool.com -- a great source of tools and outdoor items.
Advanced Level:
These are for the advanced preparedness student:
www.modernsurvival.net -- I write articles for this publication on occasion. I really like it.
www.majorsurplusnsurvival.com -- Dealer of survival and camping supplies, and a lot of really good informational links.
www.cheaperthandirt.com -- Military surplus and camping gear; there are some really good deals from these folks.
www.americanselfdefense.com -- A great source of "staying safe" information. Be sure to sign up for the free newsletters, a real wealth of information.
Platinum Level:
And for those of you who want a Ph.D in preparedness:
www.survivalist.info -- Eric Cassano is one hard core dude. Check out his "about me" link. He has a lot of information on this site you'll find helpful. I use this site much like an encyclopedia on preparedness issues.
www.alpharubicon.com -- I stumbled upon this one via Modern Survival. A great site for preparedness types.
Self Defense Links:
www.krtraining.com -- for those of you in the Austin, Texas area, this is a great way to learn more about defensive shooting.
www.americanselfdefense.com -- A great source of "staying safe" information. Be sure to sign up for the free newsletters, a real wealth of information.
www.kravmaga.com -- I started taking Krav, a martial art developed for the Israeli military, a few months ago. I really like it -- no pajama outfits, no counting in a foreign language; just hand to hand combat the way God intended.
