A Gold Mine for Preppers: the Popular Science archives
www.popsci.com
Information and education are two of the most important things any prepper can acquire, and fortunately, both are free and in abundance on the internet. Well, as of this week, that pool of information just became bigger and better with the addition of Popular Science magazine’s archives. From their website:
As you will soon see, it’s an amazing resource. Aside from bringing back memories for longtime readers, as a whole the archive beautifully encapsulates over a century of PopSci’s fascination with the future, and science and technology’s incredible potential to improve our lives. Tracing our dreams and visions of the future back through time, you’ll see that not a lot has changed. Some things we projected with startling accuracy, and others remain today what they were then–dreams. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do.
Use the simple search engine for terms like, “survival”, and, “emergency”, and up pops multiple articles on topics such as, “Your Car: Weapon of Survival”, from their January, 2004, issue, and “How I Carved Out a Home in Canada’s Arctic Wilderness”, from November, 1972. Have fun exploring!

I don't think I've ever seen you this giddy, Z! LOL Their archives are pretty amazing, considering that they go back over 130 years. Lots of good stuff there.

Great news, I've been reading PopSci since I was a kid. Searching the Archives should take up a good couple of hours this weekend.

I will definitely check those out – and set the kids to searching on them. Thanks!

I wish they had them available to buy on cd in case there was a problem getting online. Even just a local power outage from a tree going down can do that! Maybe someday….
