VIDEO: Watch These 4X4s Attempt “the Impossible”

When it comes to off-road vehicles for the farm, weekend recreation, or even reliable transportation in an armageddon scenario (where highway travel is no longer a functional option for whatever reason) you’re going to want something that’s more or less bulletproof, both literally and figuratively. We’ve published lists of our favorite “But-Out Vehicles” straight off the lot before, but the videos you’re about to watch are less about car shopping, and more about the pure joy of putting vehicles through the wringer. There’s just something unspeakably fun about pushing a vehicle past its limits, whether it’s a Jeep, Toyota, Rover, […]

The Patriot Caller 1

Clever signs warning unwelcome visitors that they may be putting their lives in danger are nothing new. In fact, wasn’t it King Tut that etched the very first, “You Loot, We Shoot” sign (in heiroglypics of course) into the entrance to his tomb? We’re kidding of course… Many security professionals recommend placing signs in strategic places on your property. We doubt they had these types of signs in mind, however. Warning signs can convey an awful lot with only a few words and a twisted sense of humor. We have no idea whether or not these signs are more effective […]

Long Range Shooting 101: Top 5 Rifles and Calibers for Survivalists

The Patriot Caller 1

The art of shooting long distances engages a different set of skills and techniques than tactical, cowboy-action, or skeet shooting. Some may say long distance shooting is golf, whereas tactical shooting is basketball. Repetition, attention to detail, and the proper equipment can make an enormous difference when it comes to long distance accuracy. And, of course, these are just preparations you make to offset all the less-than-ideal conditions that you’ll almost certainly be dealing with in any real-world scenario. Back to the Fundamentals The key to performing nearly anything requiring precision under pressure is, to oversimplify a bit, practice. To […]

You look down in time to see a snake retreating quickly into the bushes… The stinging sensation becomes a burning sensation that shoots up and down your leg.

Watch 3 Army Humvees Explode in Air Drop Gone Wrong!

The Patriot Caller 0

Whoops! Looks like someone forgot to properly secure the parachutes to these Humvees before rolling them out of the cargo doors of these C130s… For at least 3 Humvees in this massive mishap, the picturesque green fields of Hohenfelds, Germany were the end of the line. The improperly secured Humvees, known to be incredibly heavy and tank-like, fall like anvils from the sky as they easily pull away from the parachutes intended to float them gently to the ground. Fortunately for us, there was someone there to video the mishap for our viewing pleasure! For some strange reason, the GIs […]

We all know that a Humvee, Land Rover Defender or a Sherman tank and simply drive right over barricades and gridlock with ease… Unfortunately, these vehicles exist in a twilight zone where mind-numbing purchase prices overlap with insanely high maintenance costs and ridiculously low MPGs. Plus, imagine trying to find a place to parallel park your Sherman tank downtown. It just ain’t gonna happen.

Top 8 “Shirt Pocket Pistols”

The Patriot Caller 0

For the shooter who already has every other base covered, or at least thinks they do, there’s one more surprisingly practical category of firearms left to invest in… what we like to call the “shirt pocket pistol,” the sub-sub-compact, if you will. These diminutive little shooters don’t specialize in knockdown power, tactical prowess, or making an impression. They don’t specialize in anything but being small and lightweight, perfect for a shirt pocket. With this in mind, it’s easy to see why you might want one of these babies to carry around your property, shop, or wherever. First and foremost, pocket […]

Since the creation of the TSA, packing your bags and heading to the airport has become a continuing source of confusion and anxiety for the American traveler. What’s allowed? What’s banned? Do I have anything in my backpack that could land me in a TSA interrogation room for the next 10 hours? This has made traveling a nightmare scenario for preppers seeking to stay prepared for anything while traveling; many important survival items won’t be allowed in your carry-on. Fortunately, there are actually several surprisingly useful items that the TSA is currently allowing people to bring on board. With a […]

#1 BEST Survival Skill for 2016

The Patriot Caller 0

Look, survival skills aren’t limited to spearfishing, eating grub worms, or building fires by rubbing sticks together… While this is the type of “survival skill” that gets attention in the mainstream media, the fact of the matter is that wilderness survival skills will be almost completely irrelevant in a true SHTF crisis. You already know that the keys to human survival are: Food, water, and shelter. So why is it that so many forces seem to be working to make us more dependent on forces outside of our reach to get these things. To keep us in the dark about […]
