About the only time preppers talk about their cars is in the context of using them for bug out vehicles. While that is important, our cars play a much more important role in our lives than that. In our modern, highly mobile society, cars are an essential part of our everyday lives. Most of us use them for everything; getting to work, taking our kids to school and activities, shopping and even going to different venues for entertainment. Chances are, when we are away from home, we have our car with us. Seeing it that way, our car should become...

If you pay any attention to the mainstream media, it seems like the rate of shootings is skyrocketing. That isn’t really true, at least not as far as statistics are concerned.

Recent escalation of tensions with North Korea have once again given rise to a concern about the potential for a nuclear or EMP attack. Kim Jong Un has threatened the United States with nuclear war so many times, that it has led many to question his stability. Attacking a country with the massive nuclear arsenal that the USA has, when your own country’s nuclear arms are somewhere between 20 and 50 is not the action of any rational man. Yet the question still rises about whether North Korea is truly able to make such an attack. The failure of recent...
