Several years ago, I was helping my daughter and her fiancé move into their new home. By the time we pulled up into the yard with the last load of the day, it was dark. Of course Murphy’s Law was in effect, and I dropped my truck keys somewhere in...
A delusion is a mistaken belief held despite rational arguments to the contrary; a belief not centered in reality. Over the years, I have encountered many preppers, both in real life and online, who seemingly have some delusions when it comes to being prepared. I have talked about a few...
Without wasting any time, the new Presidential regime is attempting to cram more gun control legislation through on the American people. Without getting into the politics of the situation, I believe that new draconian gun laws could be just around the corner. God forbid we have another school shooting, and...
Most preppers realize that should the day come where we experience a long-term, grid- down, SHTF scenario. At some point we may have to scavenge to find much needed supplies. No matter how large and plentiful our stock pile is, at some point we will need somethings we don’t have....
When I first began prepping, I only focused on certain aspects. I was already quite proficient skill wise with firearms, as they are apart of my career path. I also have a lot of experience at things like fire building. This was acquired from my years in Boy Scouts and...
I received an email yesterday from a gentleman. His premise got me to thinking. The gist of the letter was that this guy had put “preppers” into the crazy category. He said he had scoffed at the idea of stockpiling food, gear, weapons, etc. He said he labeled it “nonsense!”...

Every year, hundreds and thousands of people decide it is time to make changes to their lives. Hence the whole “New Year, New Me” saying. And while their hearts are in the right place, their good intentions don’t always last too long. I know this because I see the number...
As most of you are aware, the battle over the 2nd amendment is reaching fever pitch in the state of Virginia. The newly elected left leaning politicians wasted no time in trying to implement draconian gun laws in their state. These laws include bans on all semi automatic firearms like...
From time to time, a new firearm comes along that gets me really excited. Typically, they shoot (pun intended) to the top of my want list. In December of 2018, PSA released their AK V, an AK pistol variant that shoots a 9mm. The AK V is based on a...
Two mass shootings in one day. Thirty one innocent lives taken. A tragedy that is unfortunately, becoming common place in our society. And of course there are those who will try to exploit this for their own political gain. This is another tragedy in my opinion, as these shootings go...
If you have followed this site for any amount of time, you know that I advocate the idea of “you get what you pay for” when it comes to firearms. But I also believe that you can find quality firearms on a budget if you do a little research. So...
