I know this is a gun group, but we all carry to prepare for what COULD happen. I always carry, but the recent train wreck in East Palestine, Ohio really changed my direction. In the end, we really need to be prepared for ANYTHING. Yes, that includes using a weapon in self defense, but what abo…

I have a pretty similar setup and it’s not being a “nut” it’s being prepared. I have a truck bag/setup as well as other items at home. Bug out bag items (In no particular order): High Protein and carbohydrate bars and 3 bottles of water Metal water bottle to purify water Firestarter and tinder as…

Preparedness extends beyond firearms and get home bags. In my view, people should be prepared for other man-made disasters. Top of my list include: Grid down for extended periods due to storms overwhelming inadequately planned grid connectivity, hackers attacking the grid, or just somebody with…

Good post, and yes, we need to be prepared for a lot these days. I expect that most USCCA members are “preppers” at some level or another. My wife and I prepare for natural or man made disasters as well as we can. We’re not going to expect to bug out and live on a mountain top surviving a nuclear wi…

Make sure you pack plenty of Peter Paul Amond Joy and Mounds, because sometimes you feel like a nut and sometimes you don’t. Ok I’ll stop. Thanks for the heads up.

It may seem a little crazy, but I have a gas mask from Mira Safety. NATO grade NBC filter and a spare one avialable. Other than the normal prepper mentality, this would cover me for a chemical spill from the railroad tracks that are 500 yards away. The product quality from Mira is just as good as a…

[20220101_130451] I made these a while back, I vacuum seal this stuff into a wallet sized package. Put it your the Gin Bin or purse…

Not crazy at all. When I was in Israel during the second intifada, we were assembling infant day packs for lack of a better term and putting infant gas masks in them.

I’m sending my oldest off to college in the not too distant future. I’m working on supplies for his dorm room.
