Yet, relatively few of those who pack a blade truly understand how to use it against another human […]4 years ago Read more

Scott is renowned for making extreme duty, hard use blades. Honestly, if I wanted to equip myself with the biggest, baddest and toughest blade I could get my […]4 years ago Read more

Blog postEnough with the recommendations about using wasp spray for self-defense! This is an incredibly bad idea all the way around. While an argument could be made that any substance sprayed into the eyes might serve as a deterrent, wasp spray doesn’t have quite the knock down effect that you may think it would. It might […]4 years ago Read more

When a catastrophic event strikes, you’ll need to rely on your skills and supplies to keep you alive. This book teaches you how to improvise solutions for the scarcities, deficiencies, and dangers that will arise in a worst-case scenario.
Prepper’s Survival Hacks offers a wide range of creative ideas for transforming cheap and widely available items into life-saving gear:

• Cook using a handy hobo stove
• Craft quick fire starters in an egg carton

Does your disaster preparation plan include security measures? When civilization fails and the desperate masses begin looting, they will come for your food, water, and life-sustaining supplies. To protect these, as well as your family and home, you must be fully armed with weapons, tactics, and strategic methods of self-defense.
This book shows you how to choose the most powerful tools for protection. It’s a comprehensive, no-holds-barred guide to all types of weapons, including:
• Close-Combat
• House Fortifications
• Non-Lethal Options

Is your survival plan complete from A to Z? Are you truly 100 percent prepared? Because if you overlook one vital area, fail to stock one critical supply or underestimate one potential danger, your whole plan could come crashing down. The Prepper’s Complete Book of Disaster Readiness guarantees you won’t miss a thing as you prepare for the most important moment in your life. This bible of prepping shows each and every life-saving step necessary to keep your family alive and well when the world around you is in chaos, including how to:
• Efficiently store water and acquire additional fresh water after a collapse
• Build a shelf-stable food stock and supplement it by harvesting edible wild plants

• Treat illness and stay healthy when there are no doctors or hospitals
• Build a safe and secure survival retreat that allows for long-term off-the-grid living
When disaster strikes, your calls, texts and emails may not work. After 9/11, Hurricane Katrina and Hurricane Sandy, cell phones were rendered useless when transmission towers were destroyed and networks became overloaded. Having an alternative way to reach family and loved ones at these critical moments is essential. With Prepper's Communication Handbook, you learn the best tips, tricks and expert secrets for surviving when phones and the Internet fail.
Exploring the best options for every disaster scenario, this hands-on guide features in-depth coverage on a wide variety of lifesaving emergency communication systems, including:
* Satellite Radio
* Shortwave
* NOAA Receiver
* GMRS and FRS Radios
* Citizen's Band
* Ham Radio
* Radio Scanners
* MURS Radio
If you're looking for a "take you by the hand" approach to learning how to set up a ham rig, look elsewhere. The focus here is on providing an overview of all the different communication tools out there, allowing you to decide for yourself which ones are best suited for your needs, situation, and experience level.
After discussing the various communication tools available, the focus turns to improving communication skills, such as conflict resolution and interpreting body language. Without these skills, tools are all but useless.
Welcome to the most important class you’ll ever take. In this dangerous world, there’s no place where disaster won’t find you. Your only option is to get educated. Presenting a straightforward 52-week course to becoming a full-fledged prepper, this book guides you step-by-step with everything from simple tools for storing food and water to advanced techniques for defending your family and property:
• Learn to stock, treat, use and reuse the most important survival item of all—water
• Store enough food to feed your family for three months without breaking the bank
• Develop the emergency skills to respond effectively to any catastrophic event
• Fortify and protect your home with affordable and manageable DIY projects
