Where I live, the electrical grid isn’t a “grid.” It’s a single power line with no redundant supply, so every time a squirrel fries his acorns we lose power for at least a few seconds, and sometimes hours. The power blinks off an average of about once or twice a month. Planning for short term …
Whether you’re a first-responder, a survivalist, or you just love outdoor adventure, the Swiss Army Rescue Tool from Victorinox makes an excellent multi-tool, with an emphasis on rescue applications. It’s my choice for everyday carry in my Maxpedition Sitka Gearslinger bag (read my Sitka review), and we have it for sale from Amazon in the …
Let’s address the arguments for socialized health care head-on: People need health insurance. Well sure they do, but people need food, too. They need clothing. They need shelter. They need clothing. They need jobs. The difference between us and and the statists is, we understand that the state does a very bad job providing these …
All those who voted for ObamaCare plan to steal the elections. They can’t win a fair election, and they have no intention to lose. Their next major push will be amnesty for illegal residents. These people will vote for the statists, who will therefore retain their positions in the government. So you can see that …

There is a single, all-important, overarching concept you need to grasp in order to execute any effective survival plan: you need a continuous, safe, plentiful supply of water. I state this concept first, before a list of rules, because it puts all the rules in perspective in any given situation. To illustrate this, consider this …
________________________ Update 04 January 2011 ________________________ One of the most important items in your EDC (everyday carry) bag is a bottle of water. You can’t carry too much, or it’ll be too heavy and impractical for everyday use, but you should carry at least enough to get you out of a bind if your car …
A bugout bag (aka BOB) is what you’ll carry with you when you “bug out,” or drop everything you’re doing and head for the hills. In this post we’ll look at what you should have in your bag, and where to keep it. As usual, before we actually prepare a list, you first need to …
[We live in a world in which madmen enter crowded restaurants and start shooting people. If you ignore this, you risk your life or the life of someone you’re responsible for. To prepare us to survive such situations, Kenny Jezek (“YAY-zeck”) has generously offered to share over three decades of experience in martial arts and …
1. A cow for dairy. Organic, grass-fed raw milk is a wonderfully healthful food. Even though we don’t have cattle now, we still buy raw milk because it is almost pointless, and actually counter-productive, to drink pasteurized, homogenized milk. An average dairy cow will produce at least two gallons of milk per day. Make cheese …
