Mail Run: Tactical Stuff

As it often happens received notifications from my local UPS Store that I had some packages arrive. I recently ordered some Glock 17 magazines to shore up my supplies. With the discussions in Congress of potential gun control bills and numerous a$$hole Republicans agreeing – I thought now was as good a time as any.… Continue reading Mail Run: Tactical Stuff

Thoughts on Fire Starting by Myke

Blazing bonfire on the sandy beach at sunset

Longtime reader Myke recently commented on a post I published on Fire Starting. What he describes as an inexpensive and effective fire starting tool is exactly something I’ve experimented with previously. Excellent idea Myke – so I am sharing it with as many people as possible. ~ Rourke I’ve made the popular cotton ball/petroleum jelly… Continue reading Thoughts on Fire Starting by Myke

‘Tis the Season for Gun Control #IWILLNOTCOMPLY

I and many other 2nd Amendment supporting folks who have a which platform to speak have been screaming “GUN BANS ARE COMING!!!” for decades. We’ve professed the need to stock up now so many times no one could possibly keep count. We are doing it again after the current administration entered the White House and… Continue reading ‘Tis the Season for Gun Control #IWILLNOTCOMPLY

Life’s Journey………

Over the past 3-4 years I’ve been on a journey that I would never have predicted. This journey has led me from South Carolina to Georgia, back to South Carolina – and now to Kentucky. It’s been an emotional rollercoaster ride and all along I continued to repeat, “Just keep moving forward. Just keeping moving… Continue reading Life’s Journey………

New AR Build Concept…….

As we go through these incredible times that I call “frigg’n nuts” I’ve decided to build one more AR. I certainly hope this isn’t the last, but, you never know. Seriously – things are getting nuts and I see things getting MUCH worse in the very near future. As I put away food, medical supplies,… Continue reading New AR Build Concept…….

Review: Nekteck 21W Portable Solar Charging Kit

I’ll be quick and to the point: Buy it. I reviewed this portable solar panel previously and am sharing it again. It’s still available and a great deal. I’ve dabbled with small solar kits for over a decade. Charging battery packs and cell phones are good tasks for these small portable solar panels. The Nekteck… Continue reading Review: Nekteck 21W Portable Solar Charging Kit

One World Government…….Evil Leaders

Watch the video below related to the New World Order and One World Government. It does an excellent job showing how powerful leaders in the world – including those both domestic and abroad – are spewing evil rhetoric and taking action which will negatively affect your life. I’d like to suggest that the mid-term elections… Continue reading One World Government…….Evil Leaders

Magazines and Ammunition

I’ve been saying it for the past several years – stock up NOW. On what? On everything!!! I’ve especially suggested magazines and ammunition. We have seen numerous examples from the coast where higher capacity magazines and ammunition have climbed in prices due to either higher demand or lower supply issues – or both. We should… Continue reading Magazines and Ammunition

Uvalde Mass Shooting

“UVALDE, Tex. — The gunman who opened fire at an elementary school here shared his intentions to carry out an attack in private social media messages shortly before slaughtering at least 19 children and two adults, officials said Wednesday.” It goes without saying – it still has to be said – that the killing of… Continue reading Uvalde Mass Shooting

Review: 1,200 Lumen Flashlight For Less Than $20

I originally posted this back in January of 2021. It all still holds true and the flashlight is still available. I also still have one in my truck, camper, and daily carry backpack.

Many companies such as Surefire, Streamlight,… Continue reading Review: 1,200 Lumen Flashlight For Less Than $20

Monkeypox

Does anyone have any thoughts on this monkey-pox virus? I believe far too many who are just worn out by the whole CV19 crap are discounting this too quickly. Please share what you think below. For me, I hope it blows over and is extremely limited in its spread. We do not need anything else… Continue reading Monkeypox

UPDATE: Move to Kentucky is Complete

Our move to Kentucky from South Carolina is officially complete. Over the past 6-8 weeks a lot has happened and it’s not nearly over.

Camper during the trip from South Carolina to Kentucky.  … Continue reading UPDATE: Move to Kentucky is Complete

The End Is Near

Maybe….maybe not. With what appears to be a different shitstorm brewing every few days nothing would surprise me. Right now we have record inflation and gas prices, shortages of baby formula, a crashing stock market, and a President who is famous for saying….“We hold these truths to be self-evident: all men and women are created,… Continue reading The End Is Near

Silver

I’ve mentioned before that I’ve had a love/hate relationship with precious metals. Never having the money for gold, silver has been my go-to. With all that is going on in the world and the economic challenges, I see over the next few years silver very well be a savior when it comes to retaining value… Continue reading Silver

SHTF: Health & Fitness as a Prep

Far too often in the world of preparedness “stuff” is what’s targeted. Lists are made with quantities of guns, ammo, food items, medical supplies, knives, water filters, etc. Rarely is health and fitness even a consideration. In the video below I offer a few thoughts on this issue.
