A lot of writing is done on security in the prepper community but most of this focus goes towards what guns to have. Well, that is a big part of it, but not all of it. Along with weaponry should go some thought and preparation into early warning systems to secure yourself and your loved... Continue Reading →
Anti-gun leftists have, as usual, hijacked today's mass shooting at a high school to push their agenda for civilian disarmament. We all know what to expect: cries for congress to implement an assault weapons ban and universal background checks. Neither will do a damn thing to prevent the next attack, but both will handsomely trample... Continue Reading →
I was in Brussels when I noticed it. Fabulous city, great place to visit, I was there on business. Over the course of the week I walked all over that city to get the feel for it after the day in the office. I noticed a significant cultural difference between Belgium and my homeland: there...

Now, before I proceed, a disclaimer: I like football and I like Tom Brady. I have nothing against either. With that said…. In 1457 James II of Scotland banned the sport of golf because it was taking away time and effort from the practice of archery. James considered such fascination with a worthless game a...

I know I am getting old because I am convinced everything was better when I was a kid. Perhaps I am just nostalgic? Na, everything was actually better. The music was awesome. Kids my...

Bags seems to get all of the attention in the world of preppers. To some extent it is a bit over-done but the reality is a big part of being prepared is having certain bags already packed and ready to simply grab-and-go. The bug-out bag is a theme that gets a lot of press, but... Continue Reading →
Many people who lead a prepared lifestyle set themselves up to live in a location where they can feasibly endure any foreseeable disaster and their primary plan is to stay at home during any event. Others have a primary plan of bugging out if a crisis arises. Regardless of your primary plan your home should... Continue Reading →
Welcome to 2018! Maybe it will be a better year than 2017 was. Maybe not. Are you prepared for what it brings? Well, unless you have a crystal ball that I certainly do not we simply don't know what our future holds. Thus, we hope for the best, but we prepare for the worst. Are... Continue Reading →
