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 Rite in the Rain All Weather Journal (by Equip 2 Endure)
I didn’t have time to do a review this week but I thought this review of the Rite in the Rain All Weather Journal by Equip 2 Endure was a good one to consider. I keep a Rite in the Rain journal for our bug out bags and think it’s a good product. FYI, it’s a video review…
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 by John Forsythe. The title intrigued me because, like many security-related scenarios, I feel woefully under-prepared. Understand that this is a Kindle book, not a hard copy book. As I’m getting more and more into…
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…
Review of Mr. Buddy MH9BX 4-9K BTU Indoor-Safe Portable Radiant Heater
I should start by pointing out that this is the smaller Mr. Buddy portable heater (there is a larger unit that produces about double the BTU output but uses two propane canisters rather than one). A few details, from the associated Amazon page: 4,000- to 9,000-BTU radiant heater for spaces up to 200 square feet…
8 Smart Ways to Save Money on Preps
A buddy of mine sent me a link to this article on how a family of four lives on 14K a year and said I should write a post about it because apparently I’m cheap or maybe just broke (FYI, he’s always been much more frugal than I). Likewise, I’ve been seeing a lot of…
Review of Getting Home: Making It Back to Your Family After Disaster Strikes
I had a chance to review a new book this weekend titled Getting Home: Making It Back to Your Family After Disaster Strikes (links to Kindle book). I first want to mention that EVERY book I’ve ever owned has been a hard-copy, this is the first book that I’ve read completely online via Amazon’s Kindle…
