Any time you set up a guard post, LPOP, or fighting position it is absolutely necessary that those who take your place know where there sectors of fire lie and what is in front of them and how far. This stands especially important if your replacement is jumping into a fighting position in the middle […]
Manly Camping
Some people are RV campers, others are cabin campers; and there is nothing wrong with either if that is where your heart lies.

Mail Order Food
My faith recommends having a one to two year food storage supply on hand; a stock that you can regularly rotate through and keep in good working order. Growing up we did a lot of canning, almost anything you can consider aside from meats; I think my father avoided this as we had animals that […]

While these stats are specific to a single state, they stand as a good national average when it comes to firearm types and crime.

His name was Dick Proenneke and today his cabin still stands as a popular tourist site; well maintained by the forest service. Proenneke found absolute bliss in the beauty and […]

Emergency Candle
I tried it and it works like a charm, takes a second to light however.

The riffle is a 270 straight off the shelf which I purchased specifically for this project. The following pictures take you through the step by step process. If you are indoors as I was for environmental control please use safety equipment. The weapon disassembled with everything I need. Wipe the entire thing down with something that […]
