I had to get out of the house. It was time to get back into the woods and do something. I set out to build a shelter, but ended up coming up with a great trick to start a fire when you don't have any dry tinder.

I don't prep in case of a grid shut down, a zombie apocalypse, or a world wide medical out break. I prep for the smaller every day events that happen to all of us. And I like to go camping in the woods with my boys and see if we can make it on just what we brought in.
What I realized years ago is that I'm lazy. What does that mean? I do the things I HAVE to do, so that I can do the things I WANT to do. It means that I prefer to do things right the first time. I'll do all the research, planning, and work necessary before a situation arises so that when it does, I'm prepared and can handle it.
I've been a prepper for probably 40 years. Did I know I was a prepper? Nope. I just did things in a methodical manner in order to be prepared. I acquired the tools and the knowledge that I needed at the time to be ready for stuff that happened.
- I'm married and have two sons. They are 15 and 11.
- I live in Michigan, in the country outside a small town, but within 10 miles of a large town.
- I'm 6' 4” tall and weighs 235 lbs. The reason I'm telling you this is because some items may look small in the videos and because I don't fit in most products available. Tents, sleeping bags, bevies, etc. I wanna give you the opinion of a large man.
- I'm a Veteran. I served 4 years U.S. Army and did a tour in Operation Desert Storm. I was a Light Wheeled Vehicle Mechanic. I served at Ft. Bliss, TX and Germany.
- I'm Self Employed. I've ran several small businesses since 1992.
I hope you enjoy the Lazy Man Prepper Channel.
