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 my Henry. Brand...

Another Post on EMP Attack

Jul 28, 2010 | Electro Magnetic Pulse, Food, Gardening, Self Reliance, suburban survival, Urban Survival

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 attacks that we...

Huh? The iPad as a Modern Survival Device? Really? Yup. Let me explain a little. First, I'm in the Internet business. Not going to get into a lot of that now, but I want to give you some perspective on why I say that. Second, I am a gadget guy. I suppose that...

Okay, I thought this was pretty cool... The SuburbanSurvivalBlog.com is now in the Amazon Kindle Store. Click the link to get it... The downside is that Amazon charges a minimum of 1.99 per month for it... So, while I would love it if you download it to your Kindle,...

What You (and I) Need To Know About Knives

Jul 26, 2010 | Gear, Knives, Preparedness, suburban survival, Urban Survival

There are many types of knives out there. I have many. Probably too many knives, but each one has a purpose, so when I go camping or hiking I choose the right one to go with. I usually carry one or two knives pretty consistently. In my travel EDC I carry a Mora....
