The Modular Survival Kit, Cache Valley Prepper
The Modular Survival Kit is a fairly simple concept. And one that I know that the military is familiar with, but not one that I’ve heard get much attention in the prepping community. Once I had built up my kit, as any aspiring survivalist would do, I did a few practice bug-outs in the form […]
Examining the Requirement for Multiple Short Term Bug Out Locations
Recently. I have been looking for a BOL property again. I have had several conversations with other preppers about going in on property together, alone, etc. Then I examine my geography and demographic, and it hit me… I live in a highly populated low self sufficiency demographic and geography. I need more than one Bug […]
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, […]
A Flashlight Review, The HybridLight Company
I was recently contacted by The HybridLight Company. I traded emails with them for a day or two and asked them about a hybrid solar/battery powered flashlight they sell. Honestly, at first, I wasn’t that enthusiastic about reviewing a flashlight. Everyone has their preference of brands. To me they are a lot like a pocket […]

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, […]
Argentina, Fascism after Default
I reviewed Fernando Ferfal Aguirre’s book last post and he has a lot of follow-up posts on his blog. Also timely are some articles from Paul Krugman and Megan McArdle regarding Argentina’s default and how great it was for the Argentine economy. First Paul Krugman: I feel Dean Baker’s pain. Dean is exercised over an NPR report which says that […]
Hydration for Children, by ShaneTheNurse
One of the common mistakes that people make is to treat a dehydrated child in the same manner as a dehydrated adult. For a child that is severely dehydrated this will most likely mean death. I have been an ER nurse since the 1990’s and I cannot tell you how many times I have treated […]
