Kydex Sheath Information

I have a few knives that have nylon sheaths.  I am really not happy with the nylon sheath.  Besides keeping costs down, they breathe and allow the water to evaporate off the knife to prevent it from corroding.  However, I am not really happy with a couple of them, and have been investigating sheaths online, […]

CCW State Reciprocity and Gun Laws

Review of Ron Hood’s Urban Master Volume 1, The Home

After it sitting on my shelf of a couple of months, I slipped Ron Hood’s DVD on Urban Survival in the DVD player this weekend.   In the first volume Ron discusses Urban Survival tactics for the following categories: Home Away from Home Threats to Your Person Urban Skills Recovery

Economically Challenged Television

While flipping though the channels this evening, I came across a show called “Downsized,” and ironically to me, it was on the We channel.  So here is what the show is about; The Bruce family is strapped for cash and $300 short on rent.  Fearing eviction, they spring into action.  Dad Todd tries to collect on […]

My “Get Home Bag” Replacement Contents.

Well, as many of you know, about a week ago or so my “Get Home Bag” from my truck was stolen from the parking lot where I had been parking my car for two plus years.  In hind sight, I think it was my fault for assuming that there was ample security.  Rather, I became […]

Update On My Friend “Who Lost Everything” and Checked Into a Shelter

So, it’s been several weeks since I wrote a post about my friend who lost everything and is basically starting over from the negative.  Today while at a conference in NYC, I had the opportunity to jump in a cab and go visit him.  Three weeks ago he took a commission only sales position with […]

Lone Wolf or Survivalist Group?

As many of the readers know, I have joined a meetup.com group for preparedness.  I joined for a couple of reasons.  First, as a “lone wolf” I was looking to connect with like minded people to hopefully teach and learn from them.  The second reason I joined, admittedly, was to possibly become part of a […]

Prepping For A Personal SHTF

Today I want to take the time to talk a little about something I have not.  The title says it all, I think, with the exception of defining what a “Personal SHTF” is because, well, it’s personal.  In today’s economy, I think that most people might define a personal SHTF as a job loss.  it […]

Mom, Dad, Prepping, and Politics

This weekend I admitted to my parents, who frankly, would think I was a bit of a wacko if I fully admitted I was a prepper.  I admitted to them that I had about three months worth of food in my apartment for any hard times ahead.  They both, surprisingly thought that was smart.   […]
