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 […]
Add One of These Budget Knives To Your Kit(s)
In a short sighted ambitious attempt to think about learning more skills, I wanted, and continue to want to learn how to make a knife out aof a blank piece of steel. It is something that I have wanted to do for a long time, as does a buddy of mine. While watching City Survivalist’s […]

Prepper Evangelical
I read ST’s post from last week and started thinking about how to convert people to our preparedness mindset. To be frank, I think it is almost impossible to change people’s ideas on just about any subject. Their opinions have been formed over countless hours of careful conditioning. In our case, in our time, in this country, […]
Suburban’s Updated Travel EDC
As promised, this is my post about my expanded Travel EDC. It seems the more I travel, the more I think I need when on the road. I am finding there is a fine balance between having what you think you might need in an emergency, and just packing your whole Get Home Bag in […]
Weekend Camping Trip, and a Few New Pieces of Gear
This weekend was my first real weekend camping trip of the season. It’s primarily my go-to place for camping in the summer. It also may/could function as a secondary Bug Out location. But more on that another time, and to my point, there was a LOT of work to do when we got there. The […]
EDC Bag Reconfiguration
When I first began prepping, I put a tactical messenger bag on my Amazon Christmas list so that I could carry “stuff” around to be a “survivalist” if the “SHTF”. I am putting those words in quotation, because I had no idea at the time what stuff I needed to face a crisis situation. With […]
Urban Blender
In any environment, blending in can be an important survival tactic. It is no different in urban or suburban situations where fitting in keeps you under the radar and safe. Everything you do is either useful camouflage or dangerous attraction, from the cloths you wear, the car you drive and how you gather and store […]
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, […]
Hypothetical SHTF if Traveling for Work
So, this morning when I woke up, I decided to write a post about what if the SHTF while I was traveling for work, and all I had time to do is grab gear from out of the hotel room and get the heck out of Dodge on foot. I did a quick survey of […]
