So I Was Looking for a Copy of Moby Dick Online…
A month or so ago I was looking for a copy of Moby Dick as I had never read it (I think it was mentioned in a movie I watched) and I thought to myself “hey, self, you should read that” and then I thought “hey… I should read other classics too!” I used to…

Are You Committing These Security Blunders?
For most of us it’s easy to let your home and personal security lapse. After all, how often is your life or property ever really in danger due to other people’s actions? Unless you live or work in “bad neighborhoods” or just have bad luck I would guess it’s a relatively rare occurrence… I know…

What Did We Ever Do Without Plastic? …The Many Plastic Preps We Rely Upon
I’m still amazed at how pervasive plastics are–in all of its forms–in our modern society.

I Don’t Need That, I Don’t Need That… I Don’t Need That Either…
The other day I ALMOST had to make a trip to Wally World to get a new pair of clippers to shave the boys heads because the old one didn’t seem to want to work at first. Fortunately, we got it functioning–barely–but probably need to replace it in the near future. Regardless, in the interim…

SHTF One Gun Defense by Greg Rentchler, Editor-at-Large
I’ve been spending a lot of time at my BOL thinking about a one-gun solution for defending the family in time of SHTF.

Dutch Oven Cooking While Camping
Believe it or not, these past few days was the first time we managed to get away and do a bit of camping with the kids this year. Of course, we had a lot of fun, played plenty of games (my arm about fell off playing catch), and we got to break in a new Dutch…
