I did a previous article on the new GORUCK Constellation Urban Survival and Navigation course. The owner of PACE Lid is also heavily involved with GORUCK and decided to come up with a kit that could be used for the course utilizing his PACE Lid product. From the PACE Lid website: GORUCK Constellation is an Urban survival […]

Stashable Survival: Crate Club’s 12 in 1 Survival Kit packs a punch
Of course, we all know there’s no such thing as an “all in one” survival kit, especially when we’re talking about something compact enough to stash in the glove box of your car, but the folks over at the Crate Club know their gear, and they managed to jam this small survival kit with 12 […]
Panthera Silva Eyewear Hardcase survival kit
The advantage of a small kit like this is that I can throw it into any bag really and turn that said bag into a go-bag if you want to call it that. Due to the compact size of the Panthera Eyewear Hardcase, this makes an ideal sized kit to keep in the glovebox of […]
Spyderco Double Stuff: A good field sharpener goes a long way
I would be preaching to the choir if I told you how significant of a tool a knife is for EDC, go-bags, or survival applications.

You can drink from a stream, never-minding the pine needles and floaties, and pray that you don’t get crippling diarrhea. […]
Vehicle Preparedness: Winter is upon us, it’s time to evaluate what we have in our vehicles
If you’re on the road a lot you need a survival kit. I was on leave a couple months back and driving a mountain pass when a snowstorm hit suddenly. The snow plows hadn’t yet arrived and the roads rapidly became very treacherous. Cars were getting stuck on the side of the road every 10-20 […]
Firefly | Firepower for your Swiss Army Knife
This cool accessory for your Swiss Army Knife came across my Facebook feed and caught my eye. The Swiss Army Knife has been for a long time, a companion for many prepared people. I was originally introduced to the SAK watching the TV show MacGuver with my Dad back in the day. My Dad always carry a […]
