Survival Knife

[Rourke: The post below was sent to me way back in 2012. I noticed it was no longer published on the internet so I decided to republish it here. Definitely food for thought.]   What is a survival blade and how does it relate to everyday carry.  I had a guy in a kung fu/FMA class ask me… Continue reading Survival Knife

Practice and Learn- What I Learned From Preparing Augason Farm Food

Augason Farms Creamy Chicken Flavored Rice  I consider myself a prepper in training. I can remember back in the early 2000’s wanting to be prepared for wintertime in Northern Maine. The year after that my awareness for the need to be prepared for other situations grew. It was the sixth sense of sorts that is… Continue reading Practice and Learn- What I Learned From Preparing Augason Farm Food

Trump Raided By FBI

This is breaking news and I will be VERY careful what I say here as many of us “Patriots” are being targeted by numerous entities. News is breaking that Trumps’ home in Florida has been raided and is currently occupied by the FBI. Consider the history of the United States and these unprecedented times. As… Continue reading Trump Raided By FBI

Preparedness Efforts: It is what it is, until it isn’t

A concern I have about the preparedness efforts of others is that there may be a disconnect between expectations and probable actuality in a grid-down situation.  Conversations with many others lead me to believe there is a fairly common misconception that TEOTWAWKI will be sort of like camping, admittedly for a long time, without lights… Continue reading Preparedness Efforts: It is what it is, until it isn’t

Rifle Reality

What is rifle reality?  Jeff Cooper knew what it was, our military snipers know what it is as well. It’s the concept of bringing enough gun.   People, we have hard, hard times coming.  We will very likely be in the fight of our lives as individuals and Americans.  Few realize that proper weapon selection can… Continue reading Rifle Reality

Making Preparedness Too Complicated

I’ve talked to a lot of survivalists and preppers over the years. Far too often people complicate survival and get lost in the details. They try to contemplate and consider every possible scenario. That my friends is simply impossible. With everything going on in people’s lives simplicity – although welcome – sometimes escapes people’s thoughts… Continue reading Making Preparedness Too Complicated

Testing the Bell & Howell “TacLight”

I posted this a couple of years ago and thoroughly enjoyed doing the test. As crazy as some of the crap on infomercials might be – the TacLight actually works very well. Check out my review below……. The TacLight is an “As Seen On TV” flashlight advertised as extremely powerful and nearly indestructible. As with… Continue reading Testing the Bell & Howell “TacLight”

Silver

Over my 50+ years, I’ve had a love-hate relationship with silver. Never had the funds for gold so silver was the only option for precious metals(other than brass and lead). There have been times when I’ve purchased numerous ounces, held them, waited until they increased in value – then some financial emergency came up and… Continue reading Silver

Wear glasses?

I’ve just added a new product to the shop – the Offgrid Eyeglass Repair & Care Kit. As someone who has worn glasses for…..a long time…..I’ve had more times than I can count where glasses have has those little nose thingy’s fall off. What a pain. Ever had a lens fall out and no one… Continue reading Wear glasses?

Ammunition

Frequent discussions are had all over social media, internet forums, and gun shops around the country about ammunition prices and availability. My stance is prices are up, supplies have largely recovered, and they will never return to our previous “normal” levels. The same can be said for steak, gas, and many other items. At one… Continue reading Ammunition

Video: 10 Things YOU should consider (NOW) to prepare for CHAOS

In these insane times today, this video is even more important. Watch it and make a… Continue reading Video: 10 Things YOU should consider (NOW) to prepare for CHAOS

Magnified Optics

The vast majority of the AR’s I’ve bought/built as well as other long guns I’ve purchased have had open sights or red dot optics. The simple reasoning behind this is a longstanding belief that red dots provide faster target acquisition and typically the ranges which I may acquire targets are 100 yards or less. I’m… Continue reading Magnified Optics

Roe Rage

Quick note: We are really in the response to the Supreme Court’s overturning of Roe vs. Wade. Tempers are flaring and the rhetoric of the Left is absolutely trending towards violence. Calls for radical measures against not just the Supreme Court – but against Constitutionalists and COnservatives is spreading across the country. Pro-Life Centers –… Continue reading Roe Rage

Calamity

Over the past several weeks I’ve been inundated with requests for advice, direction, and sometimes just my 2 cents as to what’s going on in the world. So many people are waking up to the reality that things are heading in a direction they don’t like – and they simply don’t know what to do.… Continue reading Calamity

Revolver for Concealed Carry

I don’t currently own a revolver, though, I have had several. One of the best concealed carry options is a revolver made specifically for concealed carry. These revolvers often have no exposed hammers or have a “bobbed” hammer that will not catch on clothing. These are fairly slim and extremely simple to operate – and… Continue reading Revolver for Concealed Carry
