The Patriot Caller 0

Mainstream media is full of sappy, manipulative, and overly emotional videos aimed at making you donate or buy into some cause, movement, or trend. These would-be tear jerkers make us angry, usually because they take their ability to motivate you for granted… Well, here’s some good news… “The Important Places” is not one of those. While this video about a son and his aging father on a 28-day rafting trip may get your a little misty-eyed, especially with Father’s Day coming up, odds are you will agree with every idea put forth this short film by Forest Woodward. One idea […]

The Patriot Caller 0

Two of our favorite things have now been combined into the most amazing recipe mankind has ever known. That’s right, bacon and shotguns have joined forces… thanks to YouTube user MattV2099. Why would anyone ever do this? Perhaps the better question is: Why has no ever thought of this until now… The firearm selected for this recipe is the Saiga-12, an excellent choice on account of its unique magazine-fed design, capable of firing up to 12 rounds in semi-auto mode. That’s ideal if you need to blast your way through an army of zombies… or you intend to cook bacon on […]

RELATED: Hilarious Hunting Prank: You’ll Never Believe This [VIDEO] This dog and deer combo became a YouTube sensation when this video was first aired. Since then, a followup video (below) proves that their friendship has stood the test of time.  

Meet the Land Rover Defender: The Ultimate Bug-Out Vehicle? [VIDEO]

The Patriot Caller 3

This Land Rover camper-conversion by Alu-Cab (Codename: Icarus) caught our eye, not simply because it looks like it could survive a fall from the top of Mt. Everest, but because it’s the first Land Rover we’ve seen that can comfortably accommodate sleeping humans. If you’re into short wheel base 4×4 vehicles you know just how rare that is… The rooftop tent with a built in bed takes less than 20 seconds to set up or take down. And as you can see, it’s pretty dang spacious for what it is. In addition, it has two built-in (dust-proof) side compartments: One […]

How to Make a DIY Hidden Book Compartment: Step-by-Step

The Patriot Caller 8

Cutting a secret compartment into an old hard cover is a method old as time… You might say it’s the oldest trick in the book. However, let me ask you this: If a burglar were to break into your home while you’re away, do you think your bookcase would be the first place they’d look? Or the last? I doubt you’d find a single career thief who would admit to going straight to the bookcase. Desk drawers, safes, and jewelry boxes are simply miles above hard cover books on the list of targets. What’s more, “Book Safes” are incredibly easy […]

And while the trend for manufacturers is ever greater ammo capacities, we’re pretty sure that this design isn’t quite ready for mass production. Still, we’ll ask you shooters out there this very important question: Aren’t you sick and tired of those puny 16-round stock magazines? According to this video, these “low-capacity” magazines are out… and 600-rounders are in! Sure, you may need some type of dolly to carry around your ammo, and a trip to the range may be enough to give […]

x Getting off the grid isn’t just about electricity. If you truly want to be self-sufficient, you have to get off the “food grid.” Shopping at your local farmers market is not enough… The local farmer’s market is a very good resource, however, because it helps you learn about what kinds of veggies are grown on local farms. It also puts you in contact with others who can help give you guidance as your start planting your own survival garden. Gardening is a learning process, to say the least.

10 Survival Foods You Should Be Growing

The Patriot Caller 1

x Gardening, whether it’s hydroponic, aquaponic, or traditional, is an essential survival skill. No matter how much food you have in storage, unless it can clone itself, it’s entirely finite. Even if it’s entirely secure and pumped so full of preservatives it could last a hundred years, it’s not truly sustainable. In fact, a diet loaded with heavy preservatives may send you to an early grave… No to mention, eating a diet consisting of bland, tasteless MREs may drive you insane. Remember, Columbus and other explorers were searching for more efficient routes to feed Europe’s cravings for spices. Food is […]

The Patriot Caller 0

x Food storage is an essential part of any crisis plan, but where do you store all of those supplies? What if you live in an apartment that’s somewhat challenged in the square footage department? Where are you going to store all of that food? Unless you invest in compact food buckets with a  shelf life of 25+ years, there are a surprising number of considerations that go into the process. Each storage location has a unique set of pros and cons. Basements, closets, furniture, attics, storage sheds… all of these can vary widely in temperature, humidity, etc. Here’s a […]

x Q: What’s better than a survival food cache?  A: A survival food cache that you can actually use in a crisis… You might think I’m being disingenuous, but I’m really not. Creating a survival food cache takes a lot more effort than just piling up some canned goods in the hall closet. And believing you have a comprehensive food cache when you really don’t can be more dangerous than not having one at all. Not only should you spend some time thinking about nutritional needs and how your store foods can be used to make actual meals… there are countless other considerations that […]
