Before we get into belts there are some things you should know about me. My wallet is at least 10 years old, a $15 Dockers black leather trifold which probably has another 10 years left in it. I only get new underwear when my wife buys some for me, the same applies to t shirts. …

Predictions are a tough business to get into, just ask the Mayans or anyone who predicted a civil war or stock market crash in 2013. I too have had my fair share of predictions that failed to materialize. I thought for certain that nationwide magazine restrictions and bans on online ammunition purchases would be in …

By M.O.V. In part 1 we covered disaster preparedness and OPSEC. Let’s dive right in and take a look at a few options for food storage and prepping. First, there are a variety pre-packaged long-term storage foods currently on the market today to choose from. Amongst those you can select either freeze-dried or dehydrated. In …

By M.O.A. Let me preface this post with a thumbs-up kudos to PJ for his prep examples. If you are new to prepping, that is a great place to start culling ideas that fit within your own budget. It’s always all about lists, isn’t it? When it comes to food preps, you have a few …

I was contacted by the good folks over at Mealkitsupply.com about a month or so ago, they wanted to know if I would like to review a case of their MRE’s. Two thoughts immediately crossed my mind. While I don’t consider myself a connoisseur of all things MRE I have no doubt easily eaten hundreds …

This past week I had to travel to Chicago for work which meant 4 days of powerpoint slides, note taking, breaks every 90 minutes and other mandatory fun. To put it succinctly: I gotta pay the bills and it is what it is. As all of you are aware Chicago has some of the most …

I should apologize for the lack of articles this week but it’s something I just can’t help. I spent a very busy 4 days in Chicago attending a conference, it was like being in the belly of the beast! I’m so glad to be out of that town, in my opinion the traffic was worse …

By Kurt. I’m writing this article with the assumption that you have access to reloading equipment and the knowledge how to use it, If you do not, now is the time to learn and the time to acquire the equipment and components. There is a day coming when this sort of equipment and the experience …

When pondering what the title should be for this post I couldn’t help but think back to all of the gun control hysteria which was going on about a year ago. During that time many who were pushing for more laws often touted the fantasy that we now live in a civilized society and as …

Here is a pretty cool infograph which was sent over to me via email. To summarize: less farmland, less farmers, more people = bad juju. I think it’s pretty clear that the path we are on is unsustainable…

Chances are at some point you’ve ordered a 3/6/12 month supply of food from one of any number of the major distributors most preppers frequent online. Quite often many of these kits come stocked with large quantities of winter wheat, which might leave the recipient scratching their head. It’s pretty obvious what to do with …

By The Maj. I am a sucker for just about all of the TEOTWAWKI movies and shows when time allows. I enjoy watching both fiction and non-fiction shows for entertainment, gathering new ideas, and/or several “what not to do’s”. I understand that movies never give an accurate portrayal of many things and most “movie things” …

I’m sure by now many of you have heard of the knockout game. In this game, a group of wannabe thugs take advantage of an unsuspecting victim and try to physically knock that person out with one punch. This game has left several people injured and even killed others. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qF9lV319yg4&oref=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DqF9lV319yg4&has_verified=1 Fortunately there are ways to …

Ladies and germs, I’ve been slammed at work these last few weeks. I have lots of draft articles half written on my dashboard and a few product reviews to churn out. All in due time I suppose. In the meantime I’d welcome some input from the community, any guest contributions you could provide would be …

I wrote an article the other day which covered the topic of hoarding knowledge with respect to prepping. Imagine the dad/husband who might be the keeper of all prepping knowledge in the family, his wife and kids completely dependent on him. He buys and stocks the preps, he trains with the weapons, he knows how …
