So My Wife Was Approached By a Guy at the Gas Station The Other Day…
It was about 1:30 in the afternoon and my wife called, “Guess what just happened?” in a partly excited voice but not obviously happy, at least not initially. I figured she got rear-ended, my kids broke her phone, she ran out of gas… who knows. It’s the pessimist in me. She then proceeded to tell…

Need a Covert Christmas Gift? Buy a Set of Survival Playing Cards – Surprisingly Useful Info
I received one of my Christmas gifts early this year over our Thanksgiving holiday, a set of survival playing cards, specifically a set about Survival Tips & Tricks. Without looking at them I figured they would be a bunch of completely “safe” or generic suggestions but I was surprised by-and-large by the tips I’ve read…

I Always Feel Naked When I Travel by Airplane, How About You?
It’s amazing how much of a homebody I’ve become the past few years. Granted, I was never one to jump at the chance to see the world so maybe it’s in my nature. Nonetheless, I really despise travelling, particularly by airplane. Not only is it a major annoyance with all the restrictions of things I…

45 of The Most Common Survival Acronyms Defined… With a Bit of Humor
I love TLA’s (Three Letter Acronyms), don’t you? Just in case you’re having trouble with all of the survival-related TLAs, I figured I would attempt to define a few dozen of the most common acronyms that we commonly use and read about on the Net. I know there are many, many more–especially military terms–and you’re…

Maybe the Duck Dynasty Guys Have it Right… I Should Have Grown a Beard?
I like to be clean shaven including my head and, more importantly, my wife prefers it. 😉 I’ve shaved for so long it would be utterly earth-shattering if I had a beard… or hair on my head. It’s just not natural! Or is it? After all, those Duck Dynasty guys pull it off, and fairly…

How to Handle the Deceased in a SHTF Scenario
I was asked recently to talk about how to handle death in a SHTF situation. I initially balked a bit because, to be honest, I’m probably the last person who should discuss this topic as I have very little experience with death or dealing with things that have died. About the closest I’ve been to…

Can Survival TV Shows Teach Us Anything Useful, or is it All Cinematic Hype?
I’ll admit it: I’m a prepper tv show junkie of sorts. I enjoy watching shows like Survivorman, Dual Survival, Doomsday Preppers, and more recently Doomsday Castle. I used to watch them because I felt like I learned useful knowledge from people like Les Stroud and company (mostly because I’m not a wilderness survivalist) but also…
