Gear Review Kahr PM9

Thinking About Buying Rural Land for Your Bug Out Location
Land in a rural area for a Bug Out Location is romantic thought for me, and recently I have been looking at prices within a couple hour drive of where I live in an area that is the polar opposite of where I live. I make some notes about a year ago around the prices […]
Carbines and The New Prepper, Part One, Contributed by Cameron Green of GAPPNJ.COM
This is the first installment in a series of papers to educate the new prepper about what weapons they should have on hand.

Prepper Jim’s Pocket EDC
“You know you are a prepper if it takes five minutes to load your pockets each time you leave the house.” The subject of gear seems to be of great interest to the prepper community so I will address my gear-related items from time-to-time. I have come to think that gear cannot solve all problems, just give you more […]
What I Did First, by PrepperJim
I am going to preface PrepperJim’s post today with a brief statement, and say that I really personally enjoyed this post, as it let me know that I was not alone in making my own mistakes. Making mistakes is how many of us learn, especially when we have no one else to bounce our […]
