I am hardly a watch aficionado, and I think spending thousands on a Rolex is laughable (if you have the money and that is your thing, why not) but wearing a robust and useful watch is a must. In fact, I would go so far as to say that I am rather judgmental about dudes... Continue Reading →
I have been regularly listening to Paul Markel’s podcast, Student of the Gun, for the past couple of years and I love it. I don’t agree with all of his firearms advice (what two experienced shooters agree on everything?) but he is certainly a squared away guy who knows what he is talking about and... Continue Reading →
You need to be prepared to bug out or shelter in place for an indefinite amount of time, period. Many preppers seems to hedge all of their bets on only one or the other. Being adaptable is a life priority and heightened preparedness depends on it. You simply must have both plans firmly established. No... Continue Reading →
So, as a moderate prepper myself I am compelled to broach this subject. As of now there seems to be two extremes concerning the emerging spread of Coronavirus: those who are already labeling it a pandemic, and those who say it is not an issue, less problem then even the common flu.

The bug-out bag and the get-home bag are both important: the intention with either is to give you the ability to grab what you need very quickly in a package that... Continue Reading →
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 →
