I typically store my water off of the ground, whether it be in the basement or garage. The main reason I do so (no matter the type of actual storage device) is primarly to avert the leaching process: concrete to plastic to water. If you search the internet there is no shortage of folks who …

I am in the preliminary stages of building a preparedness community, assembling a contingent of like minded individuals / families which can trust each other when times get tough, be it a localized disaster or something greater. The reality of the situation is that no matter how much training or preps you have, a community …

I’ve written about bugging out in the past, it’s a popular concept with many relevant ties to everyday life and unfortunately it’s also a concept rooted in many prepper fantasies. Realistic bugouts happen quite frequently due to localized natural disasters, folks have to leave their home with very little notice hoping that it will be …

I finally got around to opening the gear box from SHTFClub.com and was pleasantly surprised at the contents contained within. Remember, this is a subscription program and there are three tiers: Basic Plan: $19.99/mo Pro Plan: $49.99 Elite Plan: $89.99 Originally I was a bit skeptical because after all, why would I pay to …

What are you preparing for and how do you prioritize accordingly? There are some very real threats out but all of us are limited on time and resources. Even the independently wealthy prepper with all the time and money in the world could not prepare for and mitigate risk for every potential disaster which exists …

It’s been a while since I’ve posted but thought to come back strong with some 2016 predictions. Let me know what you think! 1- There will be no economic collapse. The stock market will not crash, at least not in 2016. The funny thing is that I once commented on a very popular blog which …

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 …

First we need to define what remote is. Am I attempting to describe a place in the middle of the Alaskan tundra which requires an aircraft to gain access to? No I’m not quite that hardcore, however this isn’t your cabin posted up 1/2 mile off of the go kart / candy shops / ma …

By Philip. In 2012, the National Geographic Channel has partnered with Kelton Research and conducted a survey which gauged Americans’ preparedness level and mindset for the potential end of the world scenario. Out of the 1,007 men and women who answered the survey, it revealed that 85 percent of the nation is unprepared and only …

Let’s keep it real here. I don’t want SHTF to happen anytime soon, I’m referring to TEOTWAWKI type SHTF. I like the comforts that modern life provides for myself and my family. I like having a job, recreation time, friends, freedom to do many of the things which we find enjoyable. I don’t fantasize about …

Two weeks ago a massive solar flare, one capable of causing widespread disaster and sending many of us back to the stone age, barely missed our planet. How many of you knew about this event before today? The earth barely missed taking a massive solar punch in the teeth two weeks ago, an “electromagnetic pulse” …

By Zach Hunters and other firearms enthusiasts have been anxiously watching federal regulators’ every move when it comes to potential new gun control measures. Though Congress defeated a bill in April that would have required more extensive background checks on all firearms purchases, the debate is far from over. The White House, in early June, …

I love to shoot and I don’t mind practicing so that I can get better. I actually went shooting a few days ago and noticed my reloads were not as efficient as they should be. So before going out to the range again I’ve decided to slightly adjust a few techniques, go through several hundred …

My reasoning was simple: I got tired of my cheap little target stands blowing over when the wind picked up over 5 mph. Sure the landscaping stakes stapled together with foam board in the middle did work, but there had to be something better which was sturdier and easier to transport. Obviously if you pay …

My buddy Ranger W, who happens to be a frequent guest contributor on this site always mentions dental care when I query him about relevant articles to write. I’ve been blowing it off for a while so I decided to finally get down to it. After all the topic is very relevant, you could be …
