Prepping 101: Large Portable Family Shelters

Sun, 07/12/2015 - 00:28

If there is one thing I have learned since starting this column, it is that survival is very detailed. The byproduct of this is that survival can also be very expensive, because the cheaper options, while they look viable, fail in the details. To stay on the topic of bugging out which I started three weeks ago with pack basics and essentials, I got to thinking about family tents. In any disaster scenario, a large percentage of those who survive will end up displaced, and third only to food and water is shelter. And while small tents may be the way to go if you are lighting out alone or as a couple, if you have a family, with supplies, being able to drop everybody and everything into a dry single secure shelter is going to be a very big deal.

Do You Support the Time-Traveling Technology that Makes Us More Safe, Less Free?

Sat, 07/11/2015 - 10:45

It’s only a matter of time before wide swaths of the public begin supporting the idea of constant government drone surveillance on U.S. soil. The pitch of a “safer” albeit more closely monitored society is hard to resist, especially to those who don’t believe they are responsible for their own safety.

Coating a Stainless Revolver? WMD’s 686

Fri, 07/10/2015 - 09:15

So why would we or you want to do something like this? Well, contrary to what a lot of people think stainless does not mean rustless. Stainless steel will, can, and does rust. Now it is not as prone to corrosion as regular steel, but it will happen. Coating a stainless gun might be the equivalent of putting on two condoms, but sometimes its better to be have a little extra protection. See what WMD can do.

Short Barrel–No Hassle–Black Aces

Wed, 07/08/2015 - 23:01

Black Aces Tactical's take on the pump scattergun is pushing the limits. The DT has an 8.5" barrel, and a folding stock. There are very few functional guns in this class that are more ergonomic and effective. Yet this 12 gauge beast is not a shotgun, and it is not an AOW, and it is not a short barreled shotgun. It is a firearm, and perfectly legal--and functionally perfect. Read our review.

Long Range Made Easy with Nikon’s ProStaff 5 Custom XR

Tue, 07/07/2015 - 19:15

Nikon has taken a different approach to solving the challenge of quickly finding the right scope adjustments for a given cartridge and rifle combination. Rather than forcing the shooter to use an “average” ammo load and hoping performance from their specific rifle matches the ballistic drop reticle, they’ll customize a scope for you, your rifle, and the exact type of ammunition you like to shoot.
