Hannah Blake 2

Water is one of the most critical human needs, but it can easily become contaminated. Once contaminated, it’s critical that you purify the water well in advance of consuming it. The average person can only last three days without access to fresh water, and this is the main reason that preppers and survivalists are urged to store as much of this life-sustaining liquid as possible. However, even if you take the proper precautions, you might still find yourself needing to purify dirty water in order to survive. The good news is that pool shock can help you accomplish this.

In theory, if it’s not in your bag when a crisis strikes… you’ll have to go without it for at least a while. Building a truly personalized “bug-out bag” requires gathering a long list of supplies, ranging from basic medication to a flashlight. However, before you can begin putting supplies away, you need to locate a durable bug out bag that has a lot of room and will fit comfortably […]

The Patriot Caller 44

While you’re taking some time to review your preparedness plans this season, it’s crucial that you don’t make the #1 prepper mistake of all-time. It’s a very easy oversight to make, especially for survivalists… In fact, I think it may be a natural byproduct of the preparedness mindset. What is it? Most of us dream of a remote cabin retreat, a “safe house” of sorts, where we can escape all the madness and civil unrest in the event of an extended crisis. We can almost smell the timber, the campfire… we can almost taste the fresh well water. We tend […]

Stupid criminals never cease to amaze us, and the perplexingly idiotic choices made by this would-be burglar in Florida didn’t let us down one bit. First of all, he decided to shoplift from a pawn shop. Anyone familiar with pawn shops knows that nearly all pawn shop owners are packing… or they have a loaded 12-gauge pump behind the counter. Secondly, and this is just where it just becomes impossible to comprehend this guy’s actions, he attempts to steal a rifle… in his pants! At first, he considers and AK-47 but with the banana clip and all, it just didn’t seem practical. […]
