I don’t normally review a normal or “Off The Shelf” product but I had to make the exception with my latest find. Duct tape overall is a prepper’s dream as it is, but carrying a 2 lb., 3″x35 yard roll of tape in your bag with everything else adds a lot of undue stress to…
I have been somewhat a “fan” of all things zombie since I was a child. The snarling, flesh-rotting, former humans have always had an appeal to me, even to the point of walking around the house searching for all thing that looked like the “life” sustaining gray matter they longed for. Now as an adult,…
I bought The Prepper’s Handbook shortly after it came out in December 2011 and was very pleased with my purchase. Zion Prepper started with this book and some of it can be found in his latest release of The Prepper’s Survival Guide: An Introduction to Prepping and a Guide to Fire. I do believe there…

I know I discussed doing a review on the Mora knife that I own but I picked up a CRKT (Columbia River Knife & Tool) Free Range Hunter Clip Point Lockback Folder recently that I am really pleased with. That is a mouthful so we will stick with CRKT Free Range. As before, I will…
I was in the bookstore the other day and picked up The Ultimate Survival Manual: 333 Skills That Will Get You Out Alive by Rich Johnson. As I thumbed through the book, I saw great value in its pages. As I further perused some of the pages, I realized why the back of the book…
