Our modern world certainly isn’t short on threats — from lone wolf terror attacks to state level threats like a nuclear North Korea to worry about on the global scale and good old-fashioned home invasions and murders to stress over on the local front, it can feel like there’s never been more to prepare for if you’re […]

ESEE’s Expat Libertariat – A Force Of Nature in Machete Form
Fans of ESEE will remember we recently covered the Expat Cleaver. The Expat Cleaver was the first of many planned Expat knives designed by ESEE forum member and world traveler “Expat”. Like all Esee knives, the design comes from folks who are noted survival experts. At SHOT Show 2018 I had the chance to connect […]
The glaring problem with your ‘dream’ survival rides…
Although I spent the better portion of my twenties running around the world with a fresh fade and my boots bloused, the line of work I was in both before and after serving in the Marine Corps was in the racing industry. Most folks might be surprised to know that there are some real parallels between […]
Exotac | Fire and fire related accessories
You’ve got to hand it to a company that specializes in and produces products within one category. It takes ingenuity and focus to keep your product line narrowly defined, not spiraling out into every conceivably related field. Such is the vision apparent within Exotac, a company which is centered around Ranger TV: fire and fire […]

Some psychologists argue that our growing infatuation with the […]

You’re out on an adventure and an alert is received that atmospheric conditions are about to fry your electronics.

Whether the alerts are from solar radiation, nuclear […]
Winter is coming! Cold weather survival considerations
With cold temperatures coming down upon us in most parts of the country, it’s time to start thinking about ways to manage the cold in case of emergency. While many of us have a basic emergency kit in our vehicles, it’s good to have a box (I use a milk crate) kept in the vehicle […]
The myth of the 22LR survival rifle cartridge
I have said that if I hear one more person say that the 22 Long Rifle is the best all ’round prepper/survival cartridge, I would challenge them to a duel at 50 paces (my 100 yd pace count is 64 paces). I get an AR chambered in .223/5.56 (basically a heavier 22 going really fast) and they […]
4 Simple Steps to Living a Self-Reliant Life
