The Emergency Travel Communications Kit
So, business travel seems to be a thing again. I’m not thrilled about it. After staying home for two years, and spending it with my nuclear family, I really don’t want to get back on a plane to travel for business. I’d rather work from home, do my job, and not travel again for work, […]
Travel EDC, Podcast Number 3

One of my buddy’s asked what I bring with me when I travel on business. I made a small video for him from my iPhone, but I thought I would publish contents of the Altoid kit that gets on the plane with me every time I fly. It is TSA friendly, but lacks a blade […]
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 […]
I’m Different… An Observation(s) from the Field of Life
I’ve been on a long overdue vacation this past week. Several years overdue, in fact. But I learned something quite by accident that I would like to share. While traveling with a group of friends outside the United States, one of which was getting married (I and two other friends were groomsmen), that of many […]
I Forgot My EDC…
Well, I am in Florida on business. I’m here for a week. Maybe longer. I’m happy to be here, because it seems winter has finally met with the Northeast. However, I feel naked. I left my travel EDC kit in my my GHB accidentally, in the trunk of my car. All I have is a […]
