I saw this great video and had to share it. Right now my primary home defense weapon is a 12 gauge shotgun which I have temporarily acquired from my brother. One day when he takes it back I’ll have to convince my wife I need another firearm. I don’t worry about brands so much because […]
Patriots: A Novel of Surviving the Coming Collapse
I have to give thanks to my brother for another great book review. I’ve also read this book but was introduced to it from another source. Among prepping circles this will typically be among the top recommended books. Personally I think the story telling is good but not superb; but the information and other literature […]
Firearm Safety
The people that frighten me the most when it comes to firearm usage, are those that have not received proper instruction in the basic safety concepts of firearms operation and storage. Don’t make your pistol in the closet a secret special item that your child can’t wait to get their hands on as soon as […]
Clip vs. Magazine
Somehow the media just can’t get this one right. Oh well, right? Jon
Firearms to Violence Ratio
I have my opinion and I respect my neighbor’s belief; although he was a green beret so we share some common ideas; but I digress.

Now that you’ve decided to get into prepping you’ve seen the advantages of firearms for defense of self and home; but how do you use that geared out AR-10 that feels so sexy in your hands? […]
Muzzle Awareness
Some time ago I was up hunting bear with a good friend. We had baited an area the evening before with a 5 gallon plastic barrel full of rancid meat and strung it up in a tree. Early the next morning, before the sun rose, we drove part of the way from our camp in […]
Dodging Bullets
Before you go dodging bullets, let’s build a profile of the most likely shooter you might run across. While these stats are specific to a single state, they stand as a good national average when it comes to firearm types and crime. In 2009 in the state of California 2% of crimes were committed with […]
Camo Rifle Project
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 […]
