Door reinforcement is an important part of basic prepping and is one of the best ways to drastically increase your home’s security.

I want to change that, so today I’m going to cover everything I know about reinforcing doors, specifically:
If you’re seeking information to find, use, or sharpen a Karambit Knife – you’ve come to the right place.
The karambit knife is one of the best blades you can wield in a knife fight.
It’s unique, it’s powerful, and it’s deadly.
But like most things in life – “not all knives are created equal.”
Some are worth your money, but a handful are absolute rubbish.
That’s why today, I’m going to share everything I know about the Karambit knives to help you get a knife you can be proud of. [Read more…]

When it comes to camping, there are two schools of thought around creating meals:
It’s either,
“Hey, I’m ok being resourceful, so let’s take the minimum and catch or forage everything else!”
Or…
“We’re taking all the best foods we can fit in the cooler! If we catch something, sweet, it’ll be extra! But either way, we’ll eat like kings!”
The food philosophy camp you fall into comes down to how you prefer spending your time and energy in the great outdoors. [Read more…]
For some reason, canned meats have gotten a bad rap over the years.
And it’s too bad because not only are they a powerful emergency stockpiling staple but they taste great and make mealtime a breeze.
So if you can get past the canned meat sigma, you’ll find they’re a fantastic prepping investment for the future AND for today.
That’s why I’m going to share everything I know about canned meats, including: [Read more…]
Let me guess, you’re on the search for a new pair of best tactical boots? Well then, you’re in the right place!

If you’re actively researching the best walkie talkie, you’re in the right place.
Reliable communication is an essential part of any plan, whether you’re coordinating a road trip or keeping a family together in an emergency.
Cell phones are great, but we’ve all run across areas where coverage is, well…less than perfect.
Sure, you could invest in a satellite phone. But that’s not the most cost-effective option, and you may “still” run across areas where you can’t get a reliable signal.
Often, a better answer is direct, person-to-person radio communications.
Handheld personal radios (a.ka. Walkie Talkies) are dramatically better today than even ten years ago. [Read more…]
If you’re actively searching for a new trauma kit (or want to build your own), you’re in the right place.
Nowadays, there are hundreds of unique trauma kits on the market. And in general, that’s a good thing.
But with so many options comes confusion and analysis paralysis.
For example, you may find yourself asking some of the following questions:
Which trauma kit is best? What trauma kit devices are “must-haves” vs “nice-to-have”? (Or even more important) – Which ones can I do without? What’s the recommended overall weight of a full-fledged EMT trauma kit vs. an EDC trauma kit?
That’s why today, I’m going to rely on my Research and Rescue training to share everything I know about trauma kits. [Read more…]
There are only two reasons why anyone would sleep outside in the dead of winter.
You’re either a hard-core adventurist or a survivalist (or both).
And when the winter months come along camping changes for the colder.
For every inch of snow and for every degree colder it gets, sleeping outside becomes more dangerous.
That’s why winter camping requires special gear.
And the most critical piece of winter equipment to invest in is a high-quality cold weather tent.
Because your super-lightweight summer camping tent won’t cut it. [Read more…]
