Survival Mom and World War Z
I was thrilled to be asked to film a promotional video for the movie World War Z. The book, by Max Brooks, was excellent with some pretty insightful survival lessons. This video was filmed in Phoenix, and at the last minute, the director asked if I could can some tomatoes as part of the “action”. Fortunately, there were some fresh tomatoes on hand, jars, and a knife! I did the best I could with those 3 items. Unfortunately, I didn’t get to meet Brad Pitt — maybe next time!

Have you noticed that the survival and prepper niche is pretty much dominated by men? Their websites are filled with illustrations of guns, ammo, camo, and flames! The truth about most preppers, though, is they blend in with every other person out there. Who’s to say that the middle-aged woman working as a Kroger’s cashier isn’t prepared for a nuclear war, complete with a bunker and 2 year’s worth of food? The truth is, you really can’t spot a prepper — if the prepper is smart!
EMP Survival: Your Golden Window of Time

At first, most will be completely bewildered, certain that the electricity will come on any minute now. Others will be confused by normalcy bias and do absolutely nothing. You, however, will be clued in and prepared. Take advantage of the first hours, perhaps even days, while everyone else is wondering what has happened to shore up your preps and position yourself for survival.
