Of all the possible disasters that one can face, probably one of the most common is a personal financial crisis. Most of us will pass through one of these at least some time in our lives (maybe more than one); whether due to job loss, a major medical emergency, wrecking a car or necessary repairs to our home. But those are just on a personal level. We also have the possibility of passing through a more widespread financial collapse or just suffer the results of a major natural disaster. The people who lived through Hurricane Katrina and Superstorm Sandy weren't...

Recently, I talked to you about Planning Your Home Defense Strategy. In that article, I mentioned the need to harden your home; giving some ideas about how to do that. I'd like to take some time now to go more into depth on how to do that. Proper hardening of your home can make a huge difference in your ability to defend yourself and your family, both on a day-to-day basis and in the wake of a disaster. We must start with the realization that conventional ideas about home security are worthless. They are all based upon the assumption that...

Here in America, guns are very much a part of our culture. The Second Amendment guarantees us the right to "keep and bear arms;" and while progressive liberals are working overtime to try and find ways to deny us that right, they have been losing the battle in most parts of the country.

One of the hottest topics in the realm of prepping and survival is that of firearms. Everyone has an opinion about what is best, as well as arguments as to why they are right. The problem is, all of those opinions are probably right in certain circumstances. But what is right in one circumstance or for one person isn't necessarily right for another. You and I have to figure out what will work for us, not what will work for somebody else. The thing is, there are lots of different survival scenarios. So, what might work for you in one...

Many of us struggle with developing a good solid bug out plan. We know we need one, we want to have one, but there's one big issue that we don't know how to deal with. That's... where do we go when we bug out? Other than some vague ideas about bugging out to the woods, we really don't know what we're going to do. Ideally, we'd all have a well-prepared, well-stocked survival retreat out there in the woods somewhere. Then, when things even looked like they were about to get bad, we'd be able to slip away quietly, making our...
