Add One of These Budget Knives To Your Kit(s)
In a short sighted ambitious attempt to think about learning more skills, I wanted, and continue to want to learn how to make a knife out aof a blank piece of steel. It is something that I have wanted to do for a long time, as does a buddy of mine. While watching City Survivalist’s […]
Prepper or Consumer Poser? That is the Question.
It’s been a rough couple of weeks with work. In fact, work has become increasingly busy. It was the end of the quarter and a race to get customer contracts closed up, signatures, etc. For those that don’t know, I work for a software company in sales. It can be very high stress, even more […]
The Becker BK 2 Knife
The Becker BK2 by Ka-Bar. I’ve had this knife for several months, and keep forgetting to write a review of it. So, here it is… In hindsight, I remember pulling this knife out of the box… My first impression was how heavy it was. My second impression was how thick the blade was at the […]
Gear Review – Duracell Powerpack 600
I recently purchased the Duracell Powerpack 600 (This now actually links to a new but similar product). It’s powered by a rechargeable 28AH battery and provides up to 600 watts of AC power. This device is primarily designed as and for jump-starting cars but has several great features. I purchased it primarily as a portable […]

Gerber Profile Knife Review
A couple years ago, I purchased a Gerber Profile Fixed Blade Knife Drop Point. I generally take it camping with me, but have never thought of reviewing it. In fact, I am not a knife afficiando. However, I’m going to give it a shot here. Like I said, I have had this knife for a couple […]
It’s the Small Stuff
When thrust into a survival situation, it is often the small things that make the difference between success (survival) and failure (death). Often, having a sense of comfort makes all the difference in your mental attitude. With so many prepper words devoted to guns, knives and bags, I started to think of some small things […]
Weekend Camping Trip, and a Few New Pieces of Gear
This weekend was my first real weekend camping trip of the season. It’s primarily my go-to place for camping in the summer. It also may/could function as a secondary Bug Out location. But more on that another time, and to my point, there was a LOT of work to do when we got there. The […]

EDC Bag Reconfiguration
When I first began prepping, I put a tactical messenger bag on my Amazon Christmas list so that I could carry “stuff” around to be a “survivalist” if the “SHTF”. I am putting those words in quotation, because I had no idea at the time what stuff I needed to face a crisis situation. With […]
