Dirt-Cheap Survival Retreat: One Man’s Solution

This book is written by M.D. Creekmore from The Survivalist Blog.net and tells the story of how Mr. Creekmore bought an RV and a small acreage and moved to it full time. He details some of the creative ways he used to find land and his trailer and provides some helpful information to think about for both.

He also gives some insight to living off grid in an RV full time. He explores topics such as power management, giving a quick explanation of solar and generator power systems. He explores water and waste management. Some of the other topics covered are security, storage space, stockpiling food, medicine guns and other supplies.
 
 
My take:

The part of the book I enjoyed most was the search for land and an RV, I hope to buy some acreage someday and will keep this book in mind when that time comes. That isn’t to say the rest of the book is bad, he has a great take on some preparedness/survival concepts that I am already familiar with, he just applied them to an RV, which does have some unique considerations.

I was recently contacted by a gentleman named Caleb from AmmoForSale.com and asked if I would be interested in doing a product review, to which I readily agreed. I let Caleb know the caliber I shoot most frequently (9mm) and headed on over to AmmoForSale.com to check the site out. I have shopped quite a few on-line ammo suppliers and I have to say, AmmoForSale.com is one of the most pleasant sites to shop. Their prices are competitive with most other sites, but they have weekly specials.

There are a few standard hunting loads, but not a wide variety. They carry most calibers that are popular with prepper’s in both handgun and rifle and have a wide selection of both. The site is very well laid out and doesn’t give the cluttered feeling some others do. Their prices are readily displayed, as is the quantity in stock.

The ammo that Caleb originally wanted to send ran out. He quickly apologized and sent an equivalent. While I am writing a review for him, that he so quickly “made it right” for someone that wasn’t paying for the ammo, speaks volumes to me and lends credence to their claim that “our service is unparalleled”.
 
 
On to the range:

I was provided with 50 Rounds of 115gr FMJ 9mm Ammo by Fiocchi, the firearm was my Glock 19.

The ammo fired flawlessly. There were no stove pipes or misfires. I was going to post a picture of my target, but I’m not a great shot and am a little embarrassed. All inaccuracy is solely my fault.

I’m giving this 5 stars not because it was free but because the quality of the ammo was good and I would consider using it again. I was also very impressed by the website.

Also because of how quickly Caleb apologized for running out of the original ammo he was going to send and for getting its replacement out. I will most likely be using AmmoForSale.com for any on-line ammo purchases in the future.
