Are MAGA Patriots & Conservatives Being Targeted By The Radical Left?

My thoughts on this extremist environment we find ourselves in. We are surrounded by media conglomerates and political groups spreading lies and pushing agendas. More and more people are realizing every day that much which was absolutely excepted and believed to be true is completely false and is nothing but propaganda. We have been and… Continue reading Are MAGA Patriots & Conservatives Being Targeted By The Radical Left?

Just sharing…….

I provide some insights into full-time camper living and other aspects of our lives on Instagram and a couple of other social media platforms. It’s a great way to connect with like-minded folks and hopefully pull them over here to 1776PatriotUSA.com. Thought I would share some of this with you here. These types of posts… Continue reading Just sharing…….

Preparing For Survival By Cultivating Warrior Consciousness(For Beginners)

Note: This is a very deep article on preparedness and a warrior mindset. It’s worth the time to read – and maybe even re-read to grasp what the author is presenting. This post was originally published several years ago within my previous endeavor – and then deleted off the internet. I’m bringing it back here… Continue reading Preparing For Survival By Cultivating Warrior Consciousness(For Beginners)

A few deals

It’s been a while since I’ve bought any ammunition or guns. I feel good at my current level and money is being used elsewhere. This morning I was perusing a few vendors I frequent and figured I’d pass on some info in case you’re in the market for guns, ammo, etc. No telling how long… Continue reading A few deals

Things Are Busy….

Haven’t been posting much lately as I’ve been super busy. At the time of this writing, I’ve been down with a “bug” and feeling like bear excrement. COVID test was negative and although I was running a fever it dropped. I just feel crappy – no energy, a little bit of a cough developing, and… Continue reading Things Are Busy….

Evil In The World Is Growing

I’ve struggled with the level of politics to share on this website. When I first started 1776, I said many times that preparedness and politics were intimately connected. The reason for that is simple: The vast majority of potential events that preppers prepare for have a direct connection to the government. This includes economic collapse,… Continue reading Evil In The World Is Growing

9/11

I recently watched a Youtube video where someone went on a college campus and was asking students who attacked us on 9/11. Hardly anyone could provide an answer and really didn’t know anything about the incident. My beliefs on what happened that day have certainly changed over time. Regardless – thousands of innocent souls were… Continue reading 9/11

What Matters

Over the last few months, I’ve been a bit on the “philosophical” side. My father passed away at 64 – just 12 years from my current age. I’ve thought about what I want, what I need, and what I should do to make myself happy. Happy. Is that what’s most important? Probably not. Handling your… Continue reading What Matters

Basic Hurricane Preparedness

While many preppers look to North Korea and a zombie apocalypse to prepare let’s not forget events like hurricanes are much more likely to endanger us. If you live in an area prone to hurricanes preparing is a common-sense step to take. With hurricane season upon us let’s review some basic tasks to prepare. Before… Continue reading Basic Hurricane Preparedness

Getting Up at 4:00AM

So, I’ve really been struggling in a lot of ways over the past few months and the lack of working out consistently plays a big part. I set my alarm last night, got up this morning at 4:00AM, and went to the gym. Not the best workout but better than laying in bed. It’s a… Continue reading Getting Up at 4:00AM

Bad Moon Rising

JohnP recently suggested the lyrics to the song Bad Moon Rising might be a good indicator as to what is fast approaching. OK, that’s not exactly what he said but sounds good…….   Bad Moon Rising Song by Creedence Clearwater Revival I see the bad moon a-risin’I see trouble on the wayI see earthquakes and… Continue reading Bad Moon Rising

Connecting with John Rourke

Back in 2010, I started my first survival and preparedness blog with the goal of connecting with others that were like-minded. Over the years I’ve developed some lifelong relationships with people I’ve connected with and hope that continues. Shortly before the last Presidential election, I was targeted by several social media companies and accounts were… Continue reading Connecting with John Rourke

Dog Soldiers 2: Fresh Meat

I’ve mentioned several times that Dog Soldiers is one of my favorite movies. If you’re not familiar here is a quick plot summary: “The movie follows a small squad of British soldiers during a routine night-time training mission in the Scottish Highlands. While on their way to rendezvous with a special ops unit, the group instead… Continue reading Dog Soldiers 2: Fresh Meat

Ram 1500 Warlock 4×4

I drive a 2019 Ram 1500 Warlock 4×4 as a daily driver. I absolutely love the truck. It will pull my cargo trailer(loaded with preparedness supplies) with no problem, is very comfortable, and is off-road capable. I’ve planned several things for the truck and will complete them as time and finances cooperate. I have a… Continue reading Ram 1500 Warlock 4×4

Review of NEBO PAL

This review on the Nebo PAL was published a couple of years ago. Thought it would be worth another look…… I got the Nebo Pal in my Christmas stocking and didn’t give it much thought until I got back to South Carolina from Maine and got to really check it out. As I pulled it… Continue reading Review of NEBO PAL

On Knife Fighting

I trained in Filipino martial arts for over 12 years and this included stickfighting as well as knife fighting. I learned a lot. I gained a lot of confidence in my ability to handle things empty handed, with a stick, and with a knife. So – let me tell you what I will do if… Continue reading On Knife Fighting
