16,800+ Home Fires Preventable With This One Tip: Safety Saturdays
Since we’ve been visiting my in-laws this month I’m generally the handyman that gets to fix all the little things around their house even though I’m not really that handy. As such, my mother-in-law mentioned that the dryer was taking much longer to finish drying than it should and the first thing that popped into…
Did You Know: Not All Fire Safes Protect Your Most Precious and Sensitive Valuables
Not all fireproof safes are created equal. Gone are the days where the only “important” things that went inside them were paper documents, such as birth certificates, wills, deeds, and more. These days people put all sorts of things in them, from photographs (my wife is super guilty of this) to digital media such as…
12 Wildfire Safety and Prevention Tips You Should Know
A week or so ago a commentor pointed out that there are always so many articles on starting fires and not enough about preventing them. Considering the most recent round of wildfires in San Diego and Arizona, it’s obvious this topic is a good one to discuss going into prime wildfire season. And, though home fire safety is…
The Biggest Weakness of Basement Storm Shelters
Where we used to live (in the Midwest) basements and storm shelters were common place and for good reason: tornadoes and human bodies don’t mix real well. As such, a storm shelter is a wise addition to most any home. I’d certainly recommend one if you take your family’s safety to heart. Now, the typical…
IMO, Bunker Survival is Crazy!
I can only imagine trying to survive in an underground bunker post-SHTF or for any reason, really. I know it sounds like a workable plan but it is, in my opinion, likely a horrible experience, to say the least. Granted, it’s probably better than death by nukes or hordes of zombies. 😉 Regardless, I’d imagine…

Home security is a major concern for homeowners, and the type of windows and doors you use can help to make you safer. Keeping intruders out of your home becomes increasingly important in an urban survival/disaster scenario, and every second that an intruder is delayed by a security feature is another second that you can…
I Gave My Kids a Handgun Safe, Told Them to Break Into It…
I decided to try an experiment after watching this video… Something is amiss here. It can’t be that easy, can it? Let me first say that the kid in the video did have a little help here and there and it seemed that he knew the code to one of the safes (don’t see how that’s…
Do You Have a Potential Fireball Attached to the Side of Your House?
Today I was searching for Mythbusters clips online (because I was a bit bored) and happened upon this Mythbusters clip where they test a James Bond myth of him shooting a propane tank to cause an explosion so he could get away, or something like that. Spoiler alert: the Mythbusters crew couldn’t get the propane…
Safeguard Armor GHOST Body Armor: Almost What I Wanted, Not Quite What I Expected
Last year I had the opportunity to Review the SafeGuard Stealth Concealable Brand Vest Body Armor and I can say I was quite pleased with the vest. It fit well, seemed to be unnoticed by others, wasn’t horribly heavy or otherwise uncomfortable, and so on. I have, in fact, worn it a few times since then–just…
