Streamlight PolyTac X Flashlight: Worth going in your go-bag

Streamlight PolyTac X Flashlight: Worth going in your go-bag

If you were to ask me what brand I recommend for tactical flashlights, I would tell you without hesitation, Streamlight. Streamlight offers a wide range of practical products at a reasonable price. They do their job, and they do it well. My trusted flashlight for my EDC bag is my Streamlight ProTac HL-X (you can […]

My disaster preparedness secret weapon: Hydrogen Peroxide

My disaster preparedness secret weapon: Hydrogen Peroxide

When putting together a disaster plan, it’s important to prioritize human needs in the way that you prepare.  To put together a solid short-term survival plan, you need only to address the most basic of human necessities: water, shelter, food, and security, but as short-term survival transitions into “well I guess this is what’s left of the […]

Scrubba Washbag: Keep your clothes clean in the field

Scrubba Washbag: Keep your clothes clean in the field

The Scrubba Tactical Washbag is a nice little design intending to keep your bags a little lighter by offering you the option of cleaning clothes easily and effectively.  While I posted my initial impressions here, I’ve now had the opportunity to air my dirty laundry a bit. To recap, the Scrubba is a polyether bag with […]

How to protect your family from an Active Shooter — A Navy SEAL sniper weighs in

Editor’s note: This piece was originally published last year, but because of the unfortunate events of recent weeks, this issue has weighed heavily on my mind as a father, husband, and person that prides myself on being prepared for a bad situation. We’re not a massive media conglomerate, we’re a small group of guys that […]

Everything you need to be prepared for an earthquake

On July 4th, holiday celebrations throughout the American Southwest were put on hold when a magnitude 6.4 earthquake struck the region, fracturing roads and prompting serious concern from many residents of Southern California. The following night, an even more powerful magnitude 7.1 earthquake tore through the same communities, having already weathered numerous aftershocks. This subsequent […]

Vehicle Preparedness Kit: The 12-hour bag

Vehicle Preparedness Kit: The 12-hour bag

Although this bag is not necessarily part of my ’emergency’ kit for roadside emergencies, it does stay in my vehicle next to the roadside assistance gear. Some may want to categorize this as a go-bag, which I guess it could fill that role. Part of my preparedness mindset is being ready to assist others when […]

Zippo Typhoon Match Kit: Light it up

Zippo Typhoon Match Kit: Light it up

On the list or survival priorities, fire is one of the big ones. Fire helps with the other three, those being food, water, and protection from the elements. You can cook, boil water, and stay warm with a fire. When it comes to lighting a fire you need to have rock-solid means of lighting that […]

Soldiers & Marines all have an opinion about MREs

Soldiers & Marines all have an opinion about MREs

Everyone has they’re favorite (Meatballs in Marinara Sauce Gang) and their least favorite. Everyone speculates about what secret additives are in the chewing gum and of course the debate over whether its best to eat the “main” or just the snacks. While Soldiers and Marines may see MREs as part of life, some people on […]

Vehicle Preparedness: The Batman Bag

Vehicle Preparedness: The Batman Bag

We have published a few articles highlighting vehicle loadouts, but most of those are wrapped around the concept of bugging out. In this article, I’m referring to my backpack as a Batman bag. The term Batman Bag is coined from Pat McNamara’s Sentinel course. One of his breakout sessions deals with vehicle preparedness and the concept […]
