There are many places that you are not allowed to go when you are carrying a gun, called gun free zones. There has been a huge problem with these places being targeted by shooters and people just looking for unarmed and defenseless people to slaughter. People looking to commit violence on a mass scale will […]

Unfortunately we had another active shooter situation rear its head today at Ohio State University. Last report stated that nine were injured and one was in critical condition.

I’m a big advocate of having a basic trauma kit pretty much everywhere. I like to have one in my house, and one in each vehicle. A basic trauma, or first aid kit, is invaluable to have. Whether it’s treating headaches from dehydration, or cleaning and bandaging a wound caused by a wild fishing hook, […]

This week, we launch into our first tools-of-prepping review. This one is an American classic, a tool I own and love: The Woodsman’s Pal—or as it was known to World War II aircrews in the Pacific theater, the LC-14-B /Type IV Survival Axe , NSN 8465-973-4807.
