The gun question: does a prepper need a gun? And if they do, what kind should they buy? I’ve been asked this more times than I care to count. The responses to this question are as varied as the people answering it. Camp AR15 versus camp AK47, team semi-auto against team revolver. In my opinion, it isn’t as simple as what kind […]
Few knives impress me, most that do are fixed blade knives because they have proven time and time again that they won’t break and are always there when I need them. My work as a Survival, Evasion, Resistance, and Escape Specialist in the USAF has led me to many interesting situations. For many of these […]

While fancy flat triggers show up nicely on Instagram feeds and super race triggers can improve the group size and split speeds of talented shooters, most AR owners are still using a basic mil-spec trigger. In fact, many agencies are prohibited from straying far at all off the beaten path. As ALG’s website states, the Quality Mil-Spec trigger […]
I’ve been fortunate to get my hands on some very great products from Exotac lately, and one of them is the tinderZIP. The tinderZIP is a two-in-one product that is perfect for the outdoorsman or prepared individual. Known for their fire starting products, Exotac keeps coming up with some pretty cool stuff. The tinderZIP is […]
Unfortunately, items like soft body armor are becoming the norm in today’s day and age. With all the threats of terrorist attacks, active shooters and the violent lone wolf attacks, people are looking for options to increase their survivability. With school shootings such as the recent one in Parkland, Florida, my teenage daughter even keeps one […]
