Protecting yourself from the elements and keeping warm (maintaining core body temperature) is extremely important in the outdoors. Exposure has taken the lives of many people lost in the wilderness, or even in close proximity to town or a house. It only takes a few hours – or even less – for the body to...

Activated charcoal has kind of become the pumpkin spice of the preparedness world. But instead of only seeing it in the fall – it’s 365 topic. Activated charcoal is very useful for a variety of tasks, and what has recently caught my eye are the claims that it can be made at home. Being a...

Many of us dream about the possibility. Imagine heading out to your private gun range where you can practice your shooting skills any time. For those fortunate enough to live in rural areas with enough space, this may be a simple matter. However, for urban dwellers, it becomes a bit more complicated. Space, zoning laws,...

For men, carrying a concealed firearm doesn’t present many problems. The most popular method of concealed carry for most men is an inside-the-waistband holster. While this works great when wearing trousers, most women’s fashions don’t lend themselves very well to a waistband holster for concealed carry. However, there are many other options a woman can...

Preparedness has become front-page news. Weather-related disasters and man-made factors have made many of us more aware of the need to prepare for unforeseen circumstances.

For many of us, the concept of a desert region doesn’t fit the true definition. Mention a desert to some, and the image of the great Sahara desert in Africa comes to mind. However, the concept of miles and miles of huge wind-blown dunes devoid of any kind of life doesn’t really fit the true...

I am seeing more and more women becoming gun owners and deciding to get their concealed carry licenses. These new women gun owners are typically full of questions and eager to learn.

As a little kid, running around outdoors as much as I did, getting hurt was inevitable. And when I got a “boo boo”, who did I go to? My mom, of course. She would grab whatever was needed to take care of my “super serious” injury, and I would be on my way in no...

Adjusting or zeroing a rifle can be a daunting experience for some shooters. I have heard some hunters compare the adjustment process to “black magic.” This is hardly the case. Once a rifle shooter understands a few basic terms, the technical details of your scope, and a clearly defined goal, scope adjustment can be almost...

People have been using camouflage and “disappearing” into nature for, well, probably as long as we have been around. Camouflage is used as a type of concealment for hunting purposes, to hide from an external threat, and in more recent times, by soldiers during war.

Very few shooters don’t consider going into the field for a hunt with a rifle equipped only with iron sights. We are all so ingrained in using our variable magnification scopes, red dots, or holographic sights that we often forget about iron sights. This can be a grave mistake should that optical sight fail amid...

The past few years have seen many new cartridge designs appear. Many of the new entrants into the ammunition market are designed for big game hunters or precision long-range shooters who demand a precision rifle cartridge.

For many years, finding a concealed carry pistol was a bit of a challenge. I carried a Springfield Armory pistol chambered in 40 caliber for many years. I must admit that it was bulky and often uncomfortable. Yet, I liked how it shot and was content to live with the weight and size. Then, the...

If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, the Glock must be overjoyed with the introduction of the Palmetto State Armory Dagger Pistol. The PSA Dagger is almost a dead knock-off of the Glock 19, one of the most popular Glock guns on the market. The imitation is so good that many Glock parts are...

In modern times, convenience tends to be king. And in many places, there is an abundance of food options on almost every street corner.
