7 days to go…..

◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊

I have seen it often said that there is no place for discussion of government and politics on a preparedness website. Obviously I completely disagree. I think they are as intertwined as ammunition is to guns. So many of the situations we prepare for are directly related to government in some way. EMP and economic collapse are just two examples.

I’ve not built an AR upper yet. Buddy of mine recently completed an AR-10. Being that I want to get one this year I may start picking up parts and do it myself.

The Marines have now adopted the Magpul Gen 3 PMAG. It’s about time.

Oh – about to get passed on the Top Prepper Sites list. Would appreciate any votes if you have a moment. Just click HERE.

Hope someone can take advantage of the free Kindle ebooks listed below. Been posting them the last few days. Quality varies but free is free. I want to get the new 8″ model Amazon Fire.

Something for you…..

There are many reasons why so many love their Kindle and Amazon Fire tablets. One huge advantage is you could literally go years without every buying a book to read as there are tons of free eBooks available. Don’t have a Kindle or Fire? No problem. There are apps that can be installed on most any cell phone or computer for free. No excuses!

NOTE: If you see a free Kindle book that your interested in get it now. Prices change often and there is no way to tell how long the book will remain free. Before purchasing a free Kindle book on Amazon make certain the book is still free by making sure the price is $0.00. If it lists a price or says “read for free” or has a price for prime members the book is not free anymore.

    IMO in 7 days I wouldn’t plan on being out running around IMO.
    Remember the 8 city riots after the election ? preplanned and proved to be so. I think that is likely again or worse. Maybe not but as they haven’t let up yet.. it’s possible. I plan to have GHB+ and more .. If nothing goes down.. well .. it will be a good exercise.
    I’m not saying the sky is falling, only that I don’t trust that it will go off smoothly considering the foolishness that has gone on since.
    just sharpen your situational awareness and have your shopping and gas done. Nothing huge… not really.
    Stay in, pop some corn … watch the goings on .. or a movie or something.

      Too bad I’ll be at work but will have a enhanced GHB with me but my thoughts exactly. As soon as I get home I’m staying put until Monday morning. A couple friends and I thought about renting a cabin at local state park for the weekend but other family members wouldn’t have been with us. Better to keep everyone close, just in case.

    Excited about the change regardless! Love Magpul mags. Politics and prepping go hand in hand! Got the new 8″ Amazon Fire. Have been using it about a week and I love it. Have been adding many of the free books. Keep praying for the best and preparing for the worst.

    Next weekend sounds like a great time to check out the retreat, just to make sure all is safe there… Keep your heads on a swivel for the near future.

    I bought the amazon fire hd 8″ on Christmas special, I really like it except I can’t figure out how to access the expanded memory, I inserted a 64gig mini-sd card after downloading about 20gigs of pdfs and books. It does what I need it to do, long battery life but make sure you get a screen protector and a good carry case/cover for it. Any suggestions? I’m getting a new 20w folding solar panel and see how well it will recharge the fire hd, I have a old 5w that “works” but is super slow.

      jh – getting ready to start on an article about building an electronic preparedness library so here is a little sneak peak:

      To access your mini-SD card you need a file manager app. The one I use is called ES File Manager:

      null

      I have created a multitude of folders to organize my preparedness supplies. The current mini-SD card I am using is only 32 gb’s however I have a 128 gb I will be using once start doing my complete organization effort.

      The Fire is an inexpensive tool to use for this project. Good choice!
