The following video reviews the ATN THOR Thermal weapons system. Thermal represents a key move up to 24-hour surveillance capability along with the ability to target potential threats 24-hours a day. The THOR is what many would consider a “budget” thermal optic. Sitting right around $1,950 “budget” is not a word that comes to mind… Continue reading Video: ATN THOR Thermal Scope

Taurus Millennium G2 9mm review
by Prepper Ralph I was looking for a 9 millimeter subcompact that would not break the bank but would also make a good carry gun for my wife and I. We looked all over the place from the Kahr CM9 single stack 9 millimeter to the Kel-Tec P11, and even used a SCCY… Continue reading Taurus Millennium G2 9mm review
Want an Ultra-Concealable Carbine? You probably already have one….
Popular topic among those who have to travel any distance from home is being able to carry the firepower of a battle rifle – without it being seen.

The BMF Activator
Upon my recent reflection of the 80’s survivalist movement I scoured my memories for all the different firearms and survival equipment available at the time and remembered a unique device – the BMF Activator.

NO EXCUSES!!!! Build a Budget AR
Beyond the ever increasing threats existing in the world and the possibility that significant gun control could be realized after the Presidential election – having an AR-15 can be flat out fun! Although there are many models out there costing well over $1000 if funds are a challenge there is still hope. Just one example… Continue reading NO EXCUSES!!!! Build a Budget AR
Panhandle Ranchers Jeep Weapons Mount
I’m of that generation who drove old pickup trucks to school at age 14 (yes, we had paper driver’s licenses at that age and before, way back then) with rifles and shotguns suspended from a rack behind the seat blocking the rear glass. There were no crew cabs and the pickup trucks had single… Continue reading Panhandle Ranchers Jeep Weapons Mount
The argument FOR uncommon calibers
It is often professed that a weapons stockpile should consist of firearms in common calibers for one very important reason: Resupply. Due to the sheer volume of rounds with calibers such as 9mm, 45ACP, .223, .308, and .22LR if things get bad these calibers will always be readily available. Well, maybe not. Remember the months… Continue reading The argument FOR uncommon calibers
