Firearm lubrication is an interesting topic for the off-the-grid lifestyle, especially if a situation develops which threatens normalcy in the future. Not having access to high quality lubricants in a stressful or necessary situation could have a negative impact in your survivability or comfort. Very few guns can function on minimal lubrication, no matter what you do, so you will want to take a look at the options and reinforce your supplies to meet the need going forward. Lubrication isn’t just about oil though; greases, dry lubes, and finishes can be a big part of

Many call the Henry Repeating Arms AR-7 the ultimate survival companion, and few can disagree. It says something when three major manufacturers have made a version and owned the patent on this rifle and it is still around after more than fifty years (having been introduced in 1959). It’s not perfect (although no weapon is),

The price of ammunition is at an all-time high and continues to rise, but what are the catalysts for the rise? There are several “reasons” for the rise—some tangible, some not. Love him or hate him, the answer may be partially due to President Barack Obama. What’s that, you ask? How can one man have

We all think we can defend ourselves with a handgun of choice, as though we won’t panic—as if we will have a cool head, muscle memory, clear thinking, and a steady hand. But when it comes to possibly taking another’s life and there isn’t time for deliberation, the most important decision you will make is

Tapping into power is one thing, but sustaining the energy and using it full time is quite another. Regardless of the type of energy source you use (ideally more than one in conjunction with each other to create a genuinely self-sufficient program), you will want to store excess produced energy to be able to access

Vehicle emergency kits are essentials for anyone using a vehicle on a regular basis, and perhaps even more important to those who use them only occasionally. An explanation as to why each of these items makes sense for a vehicle emergency kit is listed with the suggested item below. Spare tire and large ratchet/socket/tire iron for changing the tires This is a fairly normal accoutrement with travelers. It allows you to get yourself out of a basic jam that is a frequent occurrence. If you have the money, opt for a torque wrench or a

Root vegetables are like the backup calorie base. They can add bulk and nutrition when the “pantry” cannot (like when you are sick of bread). Used in conjunction with the pantry items (flour, fats, grains, starches, etc.), the root vegetables give variety and balance. They generally contain large amounts of fiber and carbohydrates and compliment fresh and frozen meats as well as the normal offerings. They are hearty and have the longest lives of any vegetables or other fresh produce IF they are stored and prepared properly. Ginger: It’s an incredibly hearty and healthy additive

The Benelli R1 is the “newcomer” to the list, being the youngest and most “unproven” rifle on it. But with the flawless design cues and proven M1 technology built into this rifle from its older brothers and sisters of the Benelli line, it’s hard to resist the charm and technical prowess of always being fast,

For many years, Americans have enjoyed basic freedoms like freedom of speech... freedom to choose how they spend their money... and freedom to travel without restriction. But with each passing year, we see the rapid erosion of these freedoms. As power-hungry politicians become more brazen in their pursuit of total control, our freedoms are becoming more tightly restricted -- or, in some cases, legislated away entirely. For proof, look at what’s happened during the last few years...
The Amazing "Aztec Super-Food" Used By Top Survivalists For Mission-Critical Strength And Endurance!In the remote Copper Canyons of the Mexican state of Chihuahua, the isolated tribe of Tarahumara Indians is known for a remarkable feat. They run! They run hundreds of miles … without injury and without rest. Their legendary endurance puts gold medal Olympic marathon runners to shame. The Tarahumara not only run long distances, they also routinely scale mountains in mere hours, just for the fun of it. They sprint on foot to catch animals for their dinner… and consider it a playful diversion. The Tarahumara are believed to be among the healthiest human beings on earth!
"God's Miracle Dust" Because It's The Single Greatest Off-The-Grid Story Ever Told!We live in a time when it's impossible to escape dangerous chemicals. They're in our homes, our food, our soil, our water, and our air. They're so much a part of our lives that we think nothing of it. It's high time we think about it a little more. There are over 70,000 chemicals in use today and their cumulative effects on human health have never really been studied. In fact, very few of them have even been studied individually for safety. Should we be worried?
The Single Best "Just In Case" Place In The WorldFor many years now, there has been much talk that the ancient Mayans predicted the end of the world with their Long Count calendar. It has even been refined down to a specific date when humanity is supposed to cease to exist… December 21, 2012 This doomsday message has become quite popular. So much so, the subject has spawned hundreds of thousands of websites and blogs, several mainstream books… and at least a couple of movies… including… a major motion picture by Mel Gibson titled, Apocalypto. The supposed cause (or causes) of this wanton, wholesale destruction ranges from a Planet “X” near flyby… to a “killer” solar flare… to geomagnetic reversal… to… a half-dozen (or more) other things. Any one of which, alone, would have catastrophic effects.
