Mosin-Nagant for the survivalist
I am a big fan of the Mosin-Nagant rifles. What can I say the commies knew how to make a great rifle, though this rifle was designed and in use before Lenin and company came to power. There are a few variants of the common Mosin-Nagant rifle that most people are familiar with. The 91/30, […]
Thoughts on Budget Guns for Survival, Part Two
It’s been a month or so since I published the post Thoughts on Budget Guns for Survival, Part One, and honestly I haven’t given this much thought since then. However, I think with the new year, and with many new resolutions out there, I want to get this post completed as the final post in […]
Thoughts on Budget Guns for Survival, Part One
Recently, I have been making it a point to frequent gun shows in my home state. I’m looking fora new carbine, and thought it might be a good way to get a broader view of what is out there, and what I might want. I have a very good idea of what I want, […]

A Prepper Ammunition Discussion
The other night at dinner we got talking about ammunition caches… We discussed at a high leve what we thought everyone should have (personally speaking, of course). One of the guys brought up JWR’s guide to ammo storage. As you may or may not know, I think JWR, is a gear nut and that he […]

Carbines, Shotguns, Rifles, and The New Prepper, Part Two, Contributed by Cameron Green of GAPPNJ.COM
This is the second installment in a series of papers to educate the new prepper about what weapons they should have on hand. I’m approaching this from a SHTF scenario, and while I’m not advocating using any firearm in an offensive manner, I stress that being able to use one to defend yourself is imperative… […]
Rural Land for Bug Out Location: A Response to Suburban
This article is a response to Suburban’s May 31st article “Thinking About Buying Rural Land for Your Bug Out Location”. A good article certainly. I too have been looking into the possibility of buying some undeveloped (“raw” as Suburban puts it) land, both as a BOL and simply a second get-a-way home for the family. […]
Gerber Profile Knife Review
A couple years ago, I purchased a Gerber Profile Fixed Blade Knife Drop Point. I generally take it camping with me, but have never thought of reviewing it. In fact, I am not a knife afficiando. However, I’m going to give it a shot here. Like I said, I have had this knife for a […]
