A couple weeks ago, well maybe a month ago I talked about my thoughts on criteria for a Bug Out Location.  This morning I came across a great post by ModernSurvivalBlog.com on Survival Retreat Land Size and Considerations.  ModernSurvivalBlog.com...

Just listening to this now while I bang out some emails for work.  A couple days ago, Jack Spirko at The Survival Podcast published a podcast about the “20 Simple Steps to Basic Preparedness.”  So far pretty good, and I am learning a few things....

The Henry AR‑7 comes with a small rail on top of the receiver for a scope.  As I am not thrilled with the rear peep site, I have had this on my list to purchase for about a month or two.   This past weekend, I spent a few dollars on a 4 x 32 scope for...

I will probably write about EMP attacks more than other types of attacks.  The reason is that I think that this is one of the most viable attacks from a foreign power that we could see in the future.  I also think that it is one of the most dangerous...

So the new season of “The Colony” starts tonight on the Discovery Channel.  Last season there was a lot of chatter about The Colony in the survivalist circles and in the forums.  Personally, I liked it.  It was innovative, new, and from...
