A Call to Arms! If you are anything like me, you’re just as fed up with all our politicians and the games they play as I am. I’ve had enough. It’s time that we get off our butts and do something about this mess in Washington. Thomas Campbell said, “The patriot’s blood is the seed [...]

The Warrior Way By Dr. Leonard M. Breure, PhD Every society has its warrior class. America in the 21st century is no exception. Whether it’s the soldier defending their country, the police officer guarding their community or the private citizen protecting their home, all are warriors in the battle between good and evil. The starting [...]

When I was in law enforcement and working as a Field Sergeant I had the opportunity to work with some fine men and women; all with a different focus to the job. One such individual was a fellow I’ll call Officer Joe Smith. He liked his “universe” in good order and very much enjoyed organizing [...]

Heya Preppers, One thing people sometimes forget about is the need for proper clothing for survival situations. Further complicating the issue is the convenience of heated vehicles and homes, rendering clothing capable of sustaining our temperatures for more than the trip from the toasty house to the toasty car unnecessary.

This week is a quickie…I’m doing a detox/clense this week to help boost the performance of my liver and intestines, but the lack of calories is making everything take longer to do. I’m going to touch on some of the bizzare news stories that came out this week, the instability in the stock market, and [...]

#5 – Gold – 22 March 2010 A big question going around right now is, “Should I save up in gold?” The answer is a big MAYBE! Gold as a storage medium has an extremely limited use; it is a great way to move about great amounts of wealth more easily. (That’s why we invented [...]

Today is Good Friday…one of my favorite days of the year, and one of the days that is most important to me : ) This week, I’m going to talk about using airsoft trainer pistols as a training aid. But first, if you haven’t claimed your copies of my new book, “Urban Survival Guide”, I [...]

Heya Preppers, Well I finally found an AR that had the features I wanted or required for a price I considered affordable, so I took the plunge. The weapon I purchased is a Delton kit built AR, with removable carry handle, and if the shipper can be believed a Wilson barrel. I paid $700.00 for [...]

David Morris here with this weeks Urban Survival Newsletter. One of the big problems that houses in colder climates have is that they don’t have wood fireplaces and their heating systems require electricity to work.

I get emails ALMOST every day about Obama and Hillary signing on to the UN Small Arms Treaty. They usually say that it happened “last Wednesday” and try to combine it with some current event. In short, these emails are lies/hoaxes/cons sent out to make gun owners look stupid.  Don’t fall for it.  If you’re [...]

Preparedness 101, or one survivalist’s manifesto After I’d been serious about preparedness and self reliance for a year or two, I realized that my buying, training, and planning had been based on whatever was the most exciting or urgent to me at the time.  I’d go through a gun phase, then a food phase, then [...]

Two questions that I get asked often are about water purification and weapons safety around kids. Will UV Water Purification Work In An Urban Survival Situation? In short, it CAN work.  UV purification is very effective at killing viruses, bacteria, and protozoa and is used by municipalities, restaurants, and many households to purify not only [...]

:Lesson two begins to hint that we are going to get into the “meat” of the topic soon. I look forward to heavier/weighter/meater lessons. So far, I have enjoyed both lessons, but am looking to really getting into the “weeds” so to speak, and not another overview from 5-miles up. (Don’t get me wrong, or [...]

Great info.   Trying to keep it all moving forward. I’ve been working on kit for a while now.   One for the car, house and most of my items in my motorhome.   I have never used a GPS.   I will rely on my own sense of direction.   Don’t they have a locator.   I personally am more [...]
