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...

Spring is fully here and summertime is just around the corner. That means different things to different people, but one of the things it means is that a lot of people will be taking off on vacation; traveling far from home.

I normally stay...

In my last article, I started taking a look at some of the conventional wisdom for survival kits and bug out bags. There are a great many things we do in the survival and prepping community, simply because others do them. But that doesn't mean that what we're doing is the best.

I've always said that if you're doing things the same way you've always done them, it's time for a change. As...

We all know that the earth’s environment really needs immediate attention, but just a few of us are taking steps to actually save our planet. Our colorful, clean and bright towns and cities also have ugly landfills and dump yards polluting our environment and living. Research shows that about sixty percent of our landfill can be recycled and it saves time, money and energy. Recycling is one of the best ways in which we can have complete usage of the products we use and act sensibly towards environment. Just throwing away trash in garbage bags or landfills does not end our...
