I woke up this morning to see the predictable-but still horrible-headlines reporting that grown adults are fighting one another for Black Friday discounts on things like paper towels, TVs and other junk. Didn’t see it? Here’s the headline from Drudge: I know what you’re thinking, “Those people are crazy and I’m not going out shopping […]
Any survivalist worth his or her salt views self-defense as a very important skill that they need to master. You could be an expert at storing water and food, and your bug out bag could be all ready to go, but if two hoodlums break into your home and injure or kill you just to […]
This is a common question that pops up when preppers think about self-defense. Using a firearm seems extremely violent and final.

A normal kitchen knife is just not going to cut it (pun fully intended). A good survival knife has several qualities that go beyond cutting meat and vegetables. In the wilderness, […]
Here’s the hard truth: you could be attacked at any time. You’re actually almost safer in the wilderness than you are in an urban jungle; crimes occur on a daily basis during peace time. Things only escalate and get worse during a crisis when law enforcement is busy helping first responders. If there’s one thing […]
