Hunting

My wife and I decided we wanted to do some camping over the 4th of July weekend. We thought we were prepared. We had shelter, food, water, survival kits, and extensive first-aid kits. Most combat Veterans carry a pretty comprehensive first-aid kit, and I am no different. I’m confident as long as the initial injury doesn’t kill you […]

MRE’s are the pinnacle of “ready when you are” grub for the door kicker on the move.  After decades of refinement, we’re finally at a place where the food in the brown bag rivals that of what you’d find in a chow hall (Maybe not an Air Force chow hall, but the rest of ’em […]

When you’re out in the woods, it seems the one thing you never have quite enough of is light.  Either it’s not strong enough, focused enough or just not where you need it.  Princeton Tec is constantly working to make the best, brightest and lightest light you’ll find, so you won’t ever be stuck in the […]

I love the mailman.  Wait!  No… I love getting a package in the mail.  It’s like getting a mini Christmas present.  A few days ago I was lucky enough to get a package from Precisionriflesupply.com .  They sent out a Solkoa S3 Pro Survival Kit for evaluation and it was burning in my hands for a few days before I […]

Survival is a state of mind. If a man does not let himself become defeated, he will survive. In order to prepare a plan to survive any type of catastrophe, you need to become aware of just what is needed to survive. For this article, I’m going to use some images from the movie “Rambo: First Blood.” I […]

In this article, we will analyze all the other features that differentiate the many scopes on the market and that must be considered when choosing the best optic for your needs. Fixed or variable: Fixed scopes are of less complex construction. Simple construction equals more reliability, and that’s the reason why the military have used […]

Another day, another chance to review whats new in products that matter to you.  Today I’m opening up a blade from Kershaw, the Rove.  It wasn’t too long ago I reviewed another Kershaw knife, the Westin.  I mention this because I can immediately spot a few similarities and given how highly I think of the Westin, […]

Are you getting the most out of your long range precision shooting rifle? In this part of our series, I’ll start talking about long range rifles: how to select them, and how to improve their performance. Let’s start by discussing inherent accuracy and the main factor that determines it: barrel vibration. Inherent Accuracy The inherent, or intrinsic, […]

They say that luck favors the prepared. I say: “You are what you’re ready for.” There are many similar mantras that get slung by the Boy Scouts: “Be Prepared” or the tactical type, “Always Be Ready.” Both of these terms imply a state of readiness in preparation for an emergency, attack, or survival situation, but […]

When the guys over at SOFREP decided to launch the mini crate club I was excited. Here’s how it works. I selected the club I wanted to join (mini crate in this case), picked my payment method, and now I sit back and receive a piece of gear each month. In total SOFREP has four […]

I’ve shot a lot of rounds in my life.  I was a pretty heavy volume shooter in my teens, chewing through case after case of .223, 7.63×39 and 12ga as well as various handgun calibers.  After I joined the military my volume went up drastically easily pushing tens of thousands of rounds downrange annually.  I was well […]

You can all agree with me crossbows have become a popular weapon after the AMC’s Walking dead TV series. We’ve all seen Daryl Dixon shoot down zombies, but the question is why you need to learn crossbow hunting for survival. While most people will go for a firearm as the ultimate defense and hunting weapon in […]
