I’ve established some weight equipment in my garage and completed 75% of the organization I need to do. Still need a squat rack and a set of Olympic weights. Looking for used to save money. Diet has started already and doing well.

Working on my goals list for 2018. Mentioned last week, if willing, that you can feel free to share yours here on the site. I’ll be posting mine either tomorrow or Wednesday.

AR BUILDER: Looking for a lower parts kit to complete a build? Mid State Armory has them for $39.99 – great price. I used this same LPK on my last AR. Worked great.

I – like many other people – take issue with the level of privacy invasion that has occurred all in the name of protecting us from terrorism. Seeing a 6-year-old girl felt up by a TSA agent is a poor excuse for effort in keeping us safe. While not politically correct-  how about searching EVERY SINGLE Muslim that flies? I suspect that would have a greater impact.

Take a look at the magazine cover above. An apparent intruder has entered a home and the magazine is “suggesting” a full-sized .308 rifle with a magnified optic as the weapon of choice. I’m thinking not.

    7.62 Nato as a Home Defense choice? There is a reason they call the HK91 (and clones) a “BATTLE RIFLE”. Can you say “Overkill”? I always think about that last part of Rule #4 “Know your target, AND WHAT IS BEYOND IT”. I love my 7.62, but if you think a 5.56 can penetrate…

    Of course you realize that Survival is in the business to make money. If they were serious about survival and in it to help educate people they would have a blog where the sponsors bail on you after you do your part 🙂

    Happy New Year
    My goal is to get in shape. Spend more time with my weapons to be more proficient. Strive to be more like Christ.
    – Keep Looking Up

    Spending 2 weeks in Ohio taking care of my mom after heart valve replacement. Lucky she had the TAVR procedure vs open heart. Makes me more aware of getting in shape so that is my motivation and goal. Three inches of snow here and I think the high will be 11 degrees!!

    My pipes have been frozen all year… so I’ve been giving the Sawyer Mini bucket kit a workout. It works like a champ, turns water I’d be scared to drink into water I would not be scared to drink. Everybody should have at least one.
