I called my wife on the way home from work today and as any man should, inquired about dinner prospects. She mentioned that we had some meat set out but were out of sauce for spaghetti. Now I should insert a disclaimer here, if you fancy yourself a chef and make your sauce from scratch …

I went for a early morning run last week, it was a bit chilly and windy but it wouldn’t have been the first time the weather didn’t cooperate with my plans. The rest of the day went well although in the evening I felt a bit sore and went to bed early. The next morning …

I’ve just started reading The Cause by Roderick Vincent and wanted to pass along a little info in case anyone else was interested. Is it complete non-fiction…? Obviously not. Yet for some it might be a nice change of pace which aligns with the prep world. Heck I read some of the Game of Thrones …

I don’t know about you but I like to be comfortable. When it’s cold I put on clothes to stay warm and when it’s hot I wear less clothes to stay cool. I try not to let my decision to carry a gun dictate what I wear, no ridiculous photog vests or unnecessary outer garments …

Think about what it’s like to feel completely exposed and vulnerable and then try to combine that with the concept of trying to get some must needed rest and relaxation with the family. You might think that sounds crazy, to me it sounds more like taking a vacation. I should probably define the type of …

Full Disclosure, I’m typing this out while Journey is playing in the background: Don’t Stop Believing. Had to get that out of the way for the old heads in the room but it’s all good. “Strangers….waiting…” So tonight I had the joy of cleaning all of the guns I shot this past weekend, I emphasize …

Everyone has a routine and I’m no different, yet what sets me apart from the mass populace is that my routine incorporates tasks that most preppers will be able to relate to. Others who are not in the prep community might look at this list and think I’m a nutcase or pretty extreme but when …

By rough estimates I would say that I carry a firearm on my person 90% of the time. The other 10% are usually instances where carrying is impractical or illegal and as such the pistola remains in a safe place not on my person. I state that because truly in a life or death situation …

All- I received this email from KD and wanted to share my thoughts. See below in red and feel free to add your comments and advice in the comment section! **************** Hello – I appreciate your website re: EMP (which I just became aware of). My husband and friends think I’m loony for preparing for …

Check out this documentary I stumbled across (actually my wife showed it to me). Pretty good stuff, definitely an eye opener. If you can’t dedicate 3 days a week to chopping wood….this life isn’t for you. Although I am strangely intrigued. The 80+ year old guy living by himself is just ridiculous, talk about a …

I’ll be the first to admit that prepping hasn’t been at the top of my list in the last few weeks. Winter is losing it’s grip on us and I’ve been planning for Spring and Summer of 2015, and my plans don’t involve anything remotely related to prepping. Family vacations, motorcycle trips, projects around the …

I have to admit, I like shiny things which smell new coming out of a box delivered by the UPS driver. Those are always fun preps to unbox and the anticipation from the time one clicks “buy” online until the item(s) arrive is tough to suppress. Even as I type this I have some items …

It’s easy to buy stuff and shove it in the basement and quite honestly that’s what most of us probably do. What happens when a few years pass and it becomes difficult to remember what exactly you have on hand though? Is there a need to buy more or are you good to go, this …

Like most people I have gone through various stages over the years with how I address the Bugout Bag conundrum. A few years ago I actually had two bags, an OD Green Army ALICE pack (rucksack) which I kept staged as a dedicated bugout bag and a smaller heavy duty backpack which I kept in …

Mossberg pump, Taurus Judge or S&W .357. Good options for home defense in most cases, but not if you are this guy… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NYFXlqrj3oI Neighbors who live in the Lakewood Grove subdivision in Tomball are on edge after a violent home invasion in the community overnight on Monday. The homeowner and suspects fired back and forth …
