Mr. Heater Buddy vs Buddy Flex
I have the older style Mr. Heater and for emergency use it works relatively well if only it didn’t use propane so fast. Apparently, the upgraded Mr. Heater Flex has a few features that would be of interest to most people for only a bit more cost, including higher BTU output, omni-directional heat, a windscreen…

Split Firewood Kindling Easily!
I think that once you get the hang of this, it’ll be your favorite wood splitting tool. But you shouldn’t be so ambitious and try to split a huge round like the video shows in the beginning; it’s rather funny watching him try to get the first round through because it looks like something I…

How to Go Off-Grid With Solar
Many people are working toward the shared goal of sustainability. Declaring independence from the power and water grid, becoming self-sufficient and reducing your reliance on others are all massive steps, especially if you’re accustomed to the creature comforts modern living provides.

Adapters for Power Tools (to use different brand batteries in what you already own)
This was a pretty cool find to bring in the new year. And, to be honest, I had no idea these power tool battery adapters even existed. For somewhere around $20-25 each on average–he said they were about $12-18 in the video, although some of the adapters prices vary quite a bit–you can get adapters…

What’s the #1 Urban EDC Gear to Carry?
I was curious to know since I’m always on the lookout for something I may be missing. Is it a knife, flashlight, or maybe a firearm? Or perhaps it’s something more mundane like your keys or wallet? If you had to ask me before watching this video (and he says as much about a minute…

Gray Man Packs for EDC
Although I have my own ideas on EDC packs, especially how to make a get home bag, these Vanquest packs would be a good choice if you’re looking for something that doesn’t scream “bug out bag” and which can clearly be used on a daily basis for toting around your EDC gear. Plus, there are…

A Prepper’s Guide to Stockpiling Alcohol
The typical prepper stockpile should include the essentials like food storage, first-aid supplies, and fuel or energy sources – stuff that’ll be hard to find in an end-of-the-world situation. But what about alcohol? While most people might not think of it as a necessity, I would argue that a well-rounded stockpile includes plenty of booze.…

Choosing a Survival Axe
I’ve never been very into axes, but apparently they’re not all created equally. Who knew? As for me, I’d just stick with the fire starting style of axes because I’m not that into bushcrafting, though it is interesting to see the differences explained so well, especially if you have a specific need like he talks…
