By The Maj. I will go ahead and admit I am a gadget guy, especially sharp gadgets. All be told, I do not know how many knives, hatchets, multi-tools, axes, machetes, etc that I have owned or still own. To me, there is not much that beats a good, sharp blade and in the end …

I think it’s a dude thing and many of my friends also enjoy …

I freely admit that I am a flashlight lover, one could even say that I have a flashlight fetish. I love big flashlights, small flashlights, micro flashlights, headlamps, traditional/LED flashlights etc. I’m the guy who sees those cheap $1 flashlights at the convenience store checkout counter and can’t pass up the opportunity. There is one …

The good folks over at Eartheasy.com were generous enough to send me one of their Lifestraw Family water filtration devices so that I could write a review about it.

I know what you are thinking, wow PJ gets lots of free stuff to review from his sponsors. Nothing could be further from the truth and I wanted to make this point right up front because I believe it is important. Although I did receive a small discount , I recently purchased three Lifestraws from …

Food pouches are a great for a Bugout Bag as they are light and easily transportable. Toss some hot water in there and you have a full meal, all you need is a spoon. The typical shelf life of food pouches is around 7 years which makes them a nice option if you wanted to …

Last year the sump pump in our basement failed while it was pouring rain. I could go off on a tangent about how screwed my house will be in an extended power outage (sump pump dead = flooded and nasty basement) but at this point I’ll stay on topic. I wasn’t home at the time …

By The Maj I have always been a fan of lanterns for extended power outages, night fishing, and lighting a tent on a camping trip. There is no telling how many lanterns that I have owned, ranging from really old school kerosene lanterns to Coleman fuel / gas varieties and even some battery operated versions …

A few weeks ago I received a bottle of SurvivAMINO in the mail from Vitality Sciences, they wanted me to review the product and publish my findings here. While I agreed I knew it would be a challenge because let’s face it, the product doesn’t really do much of anything (cool) at all. It’s not …

By The Maj When it comes to anything labeled “Survival”, the market place has been experiencing a bit of a boom as of late.

By The Maj I am a sucker for compact gadgets and new designs on a pretty much age old concept, so when I ran across the CRKT Eat’N Tool at a trade show it piqued my interest. At first glance, it was an impressive little tool that I figured would make a nice addition to …
