There have been many articles by myself and others on SurvivalBlog that discuss the use of mobile electronic devices such as radios, flashlights, cell phones, red dot sights, drones, cameras, etc. for emergency preparedness and disaster scenarios. The one thing all such devices have in common is that they require power of some sort, usually in the form of a battery, and without power those devices are about as useful as a paper weight (I guess you could use them as projectiles).

On February 19, 2008, Fidel Castro finally stepped down as Cuba’s president. He was then 81 years old and had been in power for 49 years.

The SMART method is the best framework I’ve found for actually accomplishing goals—whether it’s stockpiling a freezer for emergencies, staying on schedule with my Breach of the Citadel thriller series, losing weight, or any personal growth target. In this video, I break down the five parts: Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound (Time-constrained). Real examples: • Stockpiling a freezer (specific items, measurable quantities, realistic budget, relevant to family security, deadline-driven) • Releasing Breach of the Citadel Book 2 on time (milestones, word counts, editing deadlines) This isn’t fluffy advice—it’s a no-nonsense tool to turn “I should prep more” into “I finished X by Y date.” Works for preppers and anyone who wants results.
