Real Inflation is Happening

For the past couple of decades inflation – especially hyperinflation – has been the talk of those predicting economic collapse.In no way do I see true hyperinflation such as seen in Zimbabwe. What is absolutely happening is real inflation that is devaluing our dollar and lowering our purchasing power. Basically, our paychecks are shrinking even… Continue reading Real Inflation is Happening

In-Stock Ammunition at Best CURRENT Prices

Yeah, I know – – ammo prices are ridiculous. True. I was chatting with a follower of the website yesterday and he just bought his first-ever AR-15. Since this is his first he has no .223 or 5.56 ammunition for it. He certainly doesn’t want to wait until prices come back to “normal” – if… Continue reading In-Stock Ammunition at Best CURRENT Prices

Ammo Storage

This past weekend I made sure the majority of my ammunition supply was stored in metal ammo cans. I performed an inventory to see exactly where I’m at. I pretty much knew already and my estimations were very close. I have ammunition stored for a “rainy day” or otherwise known as the zombie apocalypse. In… Continue reading Ammo Storage

Mandatory Vaccines

There are people who suggest that mandatory vaccines are simply commonsense and, “Who in their right mind would not take a vaccine which would protect them against such a deadly disease?” There are others who believe it’s the right of each and every person to either take it – or not. Others will say the… Continue reading Mandatory Vaccines

Quote of the Week – James Garfield

“Now more than ever before, the people are responsible for the character of their Congress. If that body be ignorant, reckless and corrupt, it is because the people tolerate ignorance, recklessness and corruption.

Knives, Shotguns……and Chocolate

I’ve never been much of a knife guy. Yeah….a bit odd for a survivalist, right? Rambo survived out in the wilderness and took down an entire police department with a knife so I should have more of an interest. I guess. Over the years I’ve had a few knives I really liked. Some I still… Continue reading Knives, Shotguns……and Chocolate

Cheap Build Continues to Perform

Several weeks ago visited a buddy up in Maine. Over a year ago we got together and I helped him build his first AR-15. It was put together from Palmetto State Armory parts – mostly. At the time the total cost was around $500. Lower priced, budget-friendly parts were used throughout. Since then he’s added… Continue reading Cheap Build Continues to Perform

Tabletop Review: Ontario Knife Company 499 Air Force Survival Knife

As part of the building a survival kit series, I ordered the Ontario Air Force Survival Knife. I received it yesterday and was shocked with what came out of the box. In short – it’s terrible.

So this happened…..

Picked up a Sig P365 just a bit ago. I’ve heard so much about this pistol I wanted to see for myself what all the hype was about. I’ve had two range sessions with the P365 so far. From an initial impression perspective, the ergonomics are fantastic. Very small grip(I don’t have large hands) with… Continue reading So this happened…..

The one most critical and simply… Continue reading My Patreon is being cancelled

Going Old School – the Nunchuku for Self Defense

As a kid growing up in the ’80s and seeing Bruce Lee dispatch several opponents with the nunchuku I became an avid practitioner. The speed, versatility, and pure power of the nunchuku had me practicing for hours. Much like riding a bike I can pick them up after not touching them for years and twirl,… Continue reading Going Old School – the Nunchuku for Self Defense

Quote of the Week – Margaret Thatcher

By our efforts, and with precious little help from self-styled liberals, we were largely responsible for securing liberty for a substantial share of the world’s population and defending it for most of the rest. “ – Margaret Thatcher

Today there are many competitors and options on the market. Over the last 30 years, I’ve seen several companies come and… Continue reading Why Mountain House for long term food storage?
