As we’re all creatures of habit, to varying degrees. And the New Year is the subject of today’s piece here. Specifically […]
*Editors note: Photos and article have been shared with the permission of AMTAC Shooting. Anyone that has trained with me knows the emphasis that I put on fitness. If you are not in good shape is much more difficult to sprint up two flights of stairs, then across a parking lot and make a life or death decision. […]
*Republished with permission from Eric Davis Blog You no longer need to prepare for emergencies: Flood, fire, hurricane, earthquake, terrorist attack, industrial accident. Whatever.
