Originally posted over at American Partisan. Come check us out- lots of good liberty-oriented material getting posted daily. Many of the questions I get on a day-to-day basis revolve around what equipment is needed to get a radio station up and running with minimal cost. That’s a tough question and one that’s even tougher when …

Clothes don't make the man. All too often in the Survivalist & Prepper scene a lot of focus gets placed on gear. In fact so much so that a lot of sites devolve into simply reviewing individual pieces, which in turn is basically an overview with nothing else. And don't get me wrong, I love …
I spent the weekend off the grid and of course, we ran the knife edge of nuclear war. Having lived for a time on Oahu, I have a hard time believing it was an 'accident', especially considering the process by which EAS is actually activated. The other side of that coin is also that I've …
There's a lot of confusion even among longtime shooters between what a rifle is capable of doing off the bench on a nice controlled square range and what's actually practical for a serviceable combat weapon. The two really aren't the same. While tight groups are definitely a plus and a goal to be attained, having …

Some humble thoughts on the Economics of Prepping, from a well-prepared individual. You don't need a ton of money, but you do need the motivation. Even if you're just now waking up from the normalcy bias, there's a lot you can do in a short amount of time. Preparedness is YOUR responsibility and there's little …

Wild times we're living in. And a lot of uncertainty coupled with real reasons to prepare. A big part of that is being well informed. There's good stuff out there and a lot of well meaning people, and then again there's a lot of throwback fear mongers and blatant disinformation that people should really know …
As you might've guessed, this is a post about handguns. I asked a very close friend and accomplished handgunner to write a piece specific to it's own and he's what I would consider a subject matter expert. If there's one topic that might be worse than the "whut carbine is bestest" nonsense, it's people squabbling …

So I've had a lot of recent emails asking a lot of questions...several boiling down to Just Where the Heck Have You Been???? In short, I've been getting my family more off-grid ready than we already were. My family includes my closest friends and my neighbors; people that really matter in the long run. I've …
In the same vein as the last post on 'bugging out' and a lot of the un-reality that surrounds it, the very real crossover skill of conducting a personnel recovery, or at a minimum, how to link up with friendlies, needs to be taught in lieu of the "look at muh bugout stuff!!!" that frequently …

My friend JC Dodge has authored and commented on a few well-done pieces on a perrenial Prepper topic- The Bugout- and while each of those takes are well done in their own right, I thought I'd share my two cents for what it's worth including my own real-life bugout. Go take a look at the …
