  • What Makes More Sense: Stock the Supplies or Stock the Ingredients?

    I’ve been thinking a lot lately about making more and more of my own supplies. While I’ve made things like toothpaste, deodorant, laundry detergent, and a few other cleaning products in the past, I’ve been contemplating going “all in” if you will, and attempting to make as much as I can. My reasoning is for…

  • Review of SafeGuard Stealth Concealable Brand Vest Body Armor

    I’ve been wanting to purchase body armor for a long time now. But, to be honest, I don’t know a darn thing about it and I’ve always felt like it was way too expensive for somebody like me to buy it… boy was I wrong! Anyway, I spent some time reading the info about body…

  • Review of Fight, Flight, or Hide. The Guide to Surviving a Mass Shooting [Kindle edition]

    This weekend I had a chance to review the book Fight, Flight, or Hide. The Guide to Surviving a Mass Shooting [Kindle edition] by John Forsythe.

  • Review of Scottevest – Travel Vest for Men (and Women)

    I didn’t have time to do my own product review this week but I did find this nice video review of the Scottevest by TheUrbanPrepper. We actually had a post a few months back about a similar idea titled An OPSEC Get Home Bag by MorrisB that talks about the same idea. Here’s a link…

  • Review of Preppers Home Defense Book by Jim Cobb

    A while back I purchased Prepper’s Home Defense: Security Strategies to Protect Your Family by Any Means Necessary written by fellow blogger, Jim Cobb, of SurvivalWeekly.com and Survival-Gear.com. Apparently he’s written quite an assortment of other books on prepping but this is the first for me. I must say that this is the first book…

  • Review of O2 Cool Portable Fan

    I know it’s the wrong time of year to talk about portable fans but I recently purchased this for upcoming spring and summer camping and, of course, couldn’t help but fiddle with it. That said, it’s also useful for emergency power outages which is another big reason why I bought it. Upon initial un-boxing, I…
