Hannah Blake 0

Whether you’re in a SHTF situation or you simply find yourself lost in the woods during a rain storm, it will always be important to make a fire quickly in less than ideal conditions. Fortunately, we’ve got a way to start a super quick, blazing fire in any kind of nasty weather conditions (it also works like a champ when you want to impress your friends). We call it “survival fire putty,” but you might also refer to it casually as “DIY napalm.” Survival fire putty makes it possible to quickly and easily make a long-lasting fireball. To help you […]

Top 7: Best Guns For Seniors [GUIDE]

The Patriot Caller 2

Recently, we received an email asking if we can recommend the best guns for seniors. It’s an idea that’s been suggested to us by multiple readers before, yet it had been put on the back burner, partly because it seemed a bit insulting to suggest that seniors would need different firearms that other shooters. Then we received a request that read as follows: “I see a good bit of information on weapons but little that helps me decide what weapons are best for those with less strength.  I am only 60 but I have a genetic defect in connective tissue that does not […]

The Patriot Caller 0

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, […]

Summertime is almost here, and meteorologists are predicting a warmer season than normal for much of the country. While we look forward to fun activities such as 4th of July celebrations and parties by the pool, many of us fret over the oppressive heat and higher power bills. That being said, there are several ways you can “beat the heat” this summer that don’t require racking up a huge A/C bill.  And these methods go beyond simple money-savings.

Shocking as it may seem, mosquitoes are the most deadly thing in nature. They claim the lives of more than 1 million people every year, and this number appears likely to shoot even higher in the near future. And the Zika virus is just the latest in a long list of infectious diseases that can be passed from mosquitoes to humans… RELATED: These Animals Are Most Likely to Kill You [CHART] However, the Zika virus is particularly alarming, given the devastating birth defects this virus is know known to cause on the babies of infected mothers.

Top 16 Hilariously Hostile No Trespassing Signs [GALLERY]

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 […]

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 […]
