I was recently sent this book to review written by Congressman Michael McCaul titled Failures of Imagination: The Deadliest Threats to Our Homeland – And How to Thwart Them and I must, this was a good book!

29 Must-Do Safety Tips Every Woman 15 And Older Must Know!
Recently, both my wife and niece have had “encounters” with ne’er-do-wells while out and about in public places.

RZ Mask: Forget N-95 and N-100 Masks, Try This Instead!

Swap Out Your Food and Water Supplies for the Coming Warm Weather
Now that the weather is beginning to change and warm up a bit, I figured I would post a friendly reminder for you to change out any food and water supplies that you’ve had stored away. Specifically, I’m thinking about the food and water in your bug out bags, vehicle kits, as well as any you…
Distracted Driving Patrols On NOW!
I was driving around my town yesterday and noticed one of those giant lit road signs along the highway that stated: “Distracted Driving Patrols on NOW” which happened to get my attention. I later found out this is a part of the “U Text. U Drive. U Pay.” campaign that’s taking place in 100 precincts…
How to Make a DIY “Hidden” Coffee Can Diversion Safe
I had fun making the Diversion Safe Using a Vegetable Can the other week and wondered if I could make the idea even more useful using a typical #10 coffee can. I choose to use a can of white wheat because I figured that almost nobody would choose to mess with a can of wheat.…
