Contrary to popular belief from some so called “Survival Gurus”, you don’t need an armory for survival or self reliance. Sure, I’d like to have about a dozen M1A1′s, maybe a couple cases of AR16/A2′s and a few FNFAL 7.62 Battle Rifles for good measure. But I don’t have that kind of dough laying around and I’m betting that many of you don’t either. And if I did, I’m sure I could find something better to spend it on than a half dozen or so of top of the line assault rifles! There are better picks for the label of best survival rifles in my opinion than $1000 plus guns!

A Beginners Guide To Archery Equipment for Survival
April 19th, 2011 · 2 Comments · Survival Gear
Most survival articles you’ll see concerning weapons will focus on firearms. And that’s all well and good. But if you only stock up on guns, you may be missing out on another lethal segment of weaponry. And that of course is Archery. Archery gear has been used for self defense and food gathering for centuries. Certainly well before the time of gunpowder and lead projectiles! If you’re serious about prepping for any emergency or civil disaster, then your emergency preparedness equipment should include some bows and arrows along with an assortment of accessories. This article isn’t mean to be an in depth manual, but only a beginners guide to archery equipment for survival. Having been a bowhunter myself since I was 15, I’ve naturally acquired many pieces of equipment over the years and I’ve shot nearly every type of bow you can imagine. I take archery serious and here is what I’d tell anyone in my family who was unfamiliar with modern archery but wanted to prepare.

The Colony – Season 2 on Discovery Channel
July 27th, 2010 · 1 Comment · Survival Skills
I first thought about writing a review on Season 1 of Discovery Channels reality show called ‘The Colony‘ that was about a group of people playing Survivalist after a catastrophic event in L.A. Then I thought better of it after watching the show. I knew that many of you people out there saw it for the same thing I did. A show developed by Hollywood in an attempt to entertain the masses. I imagine that just like me, you thought most of it was utterly ridiculous. They show’s producers really went out of their way to tell anyone who would listen that this closely simulated a survival situation that could happen after a real disaster.

10 Best Places To Survive In America
July 13th, 2010 · 5 Comments · Self Reliance
Well, it’s that time again, the time when Money magazine comes out with their top 100 places to live in America. Of course, you and I know this list is flawed simply by the criteria Money magazine uses to come up with the list. I should say, you and I know this list is flawed if you want to survive! It’s a great list if you must live near crowds, ballet, art museums, colleges and other nonsense. You know, places me and you would rather NOT live! Especially during a man made disaster or economic collapse. So this year, I decided to come up with the 10 best places to survive in America. If you don’t agree with some of these places, that’s fine. It’s MY list, not yours!

What Do You Think The End Of The World As We Know It Will Look Like?
July 16th, 2009 · 2 Comments · TEOTWAWKI
I bet you’ve often wondered that yourself. I think everyone has their own idea of how the end of the World as we know it (TEOTWAWKI) will look like. Some believe we’ll be over ran by Blue helmeted United Nation troops, some think we’ll exist as a Police state. Myself, I often thought it would resemble the TV Series “Jericho”.
