A Guide To Help You Find The Best Tactical Watches Available Today

Investing in a tactical watch shouldn’t be just about looking cool (though that is definitely one of the side benefits).

It’s about wearing a functional piece of survival gear.

It’s a legitimate tactical tool – one that’s ready to be deployed at a moments notice.

The usefulness of a tactical watch goes well beyond merely telling time. Especially the newest models full of sensors and technology.

Nowadays, tactical watches are small wrist computers that provide critical information in any survival or outdoor adventure.

It’s also the reason why a tactical watch makes the recommended overseas deployment list. But they’re also extremely popular with civilians as well, like:

Sailors
Explorers
High altitude athletes
Outdoor enthusiasts
Pilots

Survivalists
Hunters
Navigators
Park Rangers
Etc.

And the more advanced tactical watches gets, the more “in demand” they become. Because a tactical watch is the most crucial survival accessory you’ll wear every single day. [Read more…]

How To Make A Survival Kit For An Epic Emergency

EVERYONE Should Prepare For Emergencies With A Well Built Survival Kit.

A survival kit is a group of critical survival gear and supplies put into a container (bag, pack, tin, etc.). And while that may sound fairly straightforward, there’s a lot to be said for owning a quality one.

Even if you’re a survival expert and can make fishhooks out of pop-tops, fashion hunting bows from plywood, and turn a shoe into a water filtration system – you never want to have to rely on those last resort measures.

At least not in a dire emergency situation.

Having a well-stocked emergency supplies kit, and some bushcraft gear at your disposal is smart. And in the long run, it can be more important than any fancy survival trick.

I am not saying a survivalist is only as good as his equipment. Being creative and adaptive in survival is still essential.

But having a good survival kit always improve your survival odds.

So today we’re going to cover the following emergency kit topics:

Items That Should Be In Everyone’s Survival Kit
- Emergency Food and Water
- Emergency Tools and Gear
Best Survival Kits Money Can Buy
- Large Survival Kits
- Small Survival Kits

Prepper Food Is The Best Investment For A Lifetime

Prepper Food Is The Best Investment For A Lifetime

4.9 (97.69%) 26 votes

Is Stockpiling Prepper Food A Good Idea?

When I was a little boy, and we ran out of peanut butter, my mother would send me downstairs to get another jar off the shelf.

Usually, there would be two more jars behind that one.

My mother, just like her mother before her, always had months of food on hand at any given moment.

I grew up assuming this was normal, yet as a young adult, I didn’t shop this way.

After buying “BIG”, I might have two weeks of food on hand, but never three jars of peanut butter, eight cans of pork and beans or ten loaves of frozen bread.

I once asked my grandmother why she always had so much food in the house, and her answer was, “Just In Case.” [Read more…]

9 Proven Non Lethal Weapons For Insanely Strong Protection

4.6 (92%) 10 votes

Everyone should own and carry non lethal weapons – even if you already carry a firearm.

Why? Because not every conflict or attack calls for a weapon of the lethal variety.

For example – does a pickpocket deserve a bullet in the head?

Sometimes a non lethal weapon is the right answer to deter, intimidate, or stop a threat.

Or maybe firearms (or knives) just plain scare you. Maybe they’re unfamiliar to you and you have no desire carry one.

In this case, your best bet is a non lethal weapon for self-protection.

That’s why there are so many types of non lethal weapons available.

Weapons that make sense when the incident calls for a non lethal (but still extremely effective) defense tactic.

As you’ll soon discover, the best non lethal weapons are incredibly intimidating and can inflict severe pain. The best ones can stop an intruder in their tracks.

But they’re non lethal weapons that will most likely leave both perpetrator and victim alive to see another day. [Read more…]

Shouldn’t our $3,000+ stainless refrigerators and enormous chest freezers take care of all our food preservation needs?

So who cares about this ancient food storage technology?

I do, and you should too.

The Complete Ferro Rod Survival Guide

A spark is an insanely powerful thing to carry in your pocket.

For most of human history, starting a fire’s been an epic and ongoing survival challenge.

Fire was such a crucial resource in ancient times; travelers carried embers with them. It was far easier to start a new fire from a smoldering ember.

After all, using stones to knock out a spark to catch a bit of tinder is not easy. Nor is using sticks to pop an ember out of a plank of wood.

And besides, they never knew if there would be enough dry fuel or the right stones to make a spark at their next stop.

It was much safer to carry an ember along wherever they went.

So what do you think ancient people would have thought about a spark generating device? One that fits in a pocket and throws off sparks hot enough to melt steel?

A device that throws sparks with just the flick of a wrist, and even soaking wet?

I bet they would have killed others for such a powerful device! [Read more…]
