Fresh eggs are one of my favorite foods, and they are for most other people as well – especially for breakfast. The problem with fresh eggs, like most food products, is that they won’t last forever. So, how do you get the longest shelf life out of your eggs so there is no waste and...

Canned foods are a staple item in most pantries, and they are a long-term food item most preppers recommend. This is because canned food is relatively affordable, comes in a variety of options, is pre-cooked, and – when stored properly – canned food will last many years. All of these characteristics are great…unless you don’t...

Regular eggs are a staple in many people’s daily diets. They are an iconic breakfast item and are used in baked goods. Most people would agree that fresh eggs taste the best (and are the best for you), but they have a relatively short shelf life. Their prices have become unpredictable, and there may come...

When disaster strikes and the SHTF (sh*t hits the fan), the time for planning has passed, and you need to be ready to rock and roll. Buying stuff and putting together kits is easy, but having supplies doesn’t ensure your survival. A good emergency plan and survival skills will give you a huge headstart. As...

Imagine for a moment that you are taking a break from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. You decide you need to get away from it all and disconnect for a bit, and that the best way to do so is to get out into nature. So, you grab a pack of supplies and...

When the name of the game is self-reliance and survival, there is one resource you must have a plan for Water. If you look throughout history, people settle and build cities on – or very close to – water sources. Yes, this later became advantageous for shipping purposes in some areas, but our need for...

The window punch is a simple piece of gear you can throw in your Bug Out Bag or Get Home Bag, but a lot of people will question the need for a window punch when you could obviously just use anything heavy enough. In this article, we will be covering a few different aspects of...

When an emergency happens, most of us will try to handle the problem ourselves initially. But more often than not, we need help. Maybe a small kitchen fire quickly gets out of control, or someone is bleeding out from a car accident, or you’ve become lost in the outdoors. Whatever the situation, the rising levels...

I remember as a kid seeing most police officers on duty, and other law enforcement officers, carrying a baton. I also remember thinking it was a bit odd because it was just a unique-looking kind of club, which seemed rather primitive considering the other tools on their belts. After seeing how effective these were first...

Years ago, I taught myself lock picking. This arose out of necessity rather than desire. I had lost the keys to a few different locks and after the first time calling a locksmith in, I wasn’t too keen on shelling out a bunch of money for something that took him a few minutes to undo....

Firearms can be a touchy subject and indeed, a hotly debated one in recent times, and I’m sure the subject of building a weapons cache – which is contained in this article – won’t help to cool the fire of this topic. No matter where you stand on firearms, one thing is crystal clear. It...

One of the key pillars to being prepared is having a good water plan. Water is key to life and clean water is key to good health. I have a lot of experience with water filters and have been experimenting with different water filtration methods for years both at my house and in the field. ...

I’ve always found primitive weapons to be fascinating. In part, because they are a part of our history but also as simple as they appear, they are much more effective than they are given credit for. In my experience, most people don’t seem too interested in them. I think because the word primitive is attached...

When I was a kid, I remember spending a lot of time outdoors and going on hikes. Looking at myself now, I probably seem over-prepared and paranoid with the amount of outdoor gear I carry now versus when I was younger. That’s because back then I didn’t really carry anything. Okay, that’s not entirely true....

We decided to take a lighter look at TEOTWAWKI with a Survival Cache original,  Murphy’s Laws of TEOTWAWKI.  If you know Murphy then you know, if it can happen…..it will. Just to make sure we are all on the same page, the abbreviation TEOTWAWKI stands for The End Of The World As We Know It....

It’s curious a specialty tool like this would be called the .   For certain it is a tool a trucker would want to have in their tool box, but its usefulness goes way beyond that limited functional area.  I would say this tool is by all regards a prepper’s friend as well as a survival...

The first couple of times that I went through power outages, I used my propane grill for cooking and making coffee. It worked great, until I ran out of fuel.  No big deal, I thought to myself. I’ll just pick up more propane.  Of course, when I got to the store, I realized everyone else...

Foraging is as much an art as it is a science. You must know and understand the plants in your area that are safe and nutritious to eat. Making a mistake about which plants are edible can, at best, leave you with an inedible mess. At worst, you can jeopardize your life. Fortunately, the abundance...

One of the great issues I have always had with concealed carry permits and licenses is the absence of any requirement for continuing education, training, and practice in most states. Shooting skills are not innate or ingrained. They must be learned to become proficient and practiced to retain that proficiency. Hence, anyone with a concealed...

Hunting dogs are unique animals. They are considered working dog breeds and must exhibit special characteristics and traits.
