A couple of weeks ago, I woke up to a feeling I hadn't experienced in over a decade. As a kid I had mild asthma, and to suddenly feel my breathing become constrained - the start of a very mild asthma attack - was a real wake up call for me. I had almost forgotten that I used to have respiratory issues, and whilst my own problems with breathing were sporadic in nature (triggered by environment, ...
Are Your Family Members Supportive of Your Prepping?
When it comes to family members supporting preps, I feel like I've heard it all. At one end, you've got the prepper families where each individual takes prepping seriously, and each member of the family works together toward the end goal of being more prepared. At the other end, you have individuals whose families really don't get prepping and ostracize them, making them feel like the black sheep ...
Your EDC Picks: Top Knives & Multi-Tools MTJS Readers Are Carrying
Thank you guys so much for answering my question a few weeks back about which pocket knife you were currently EDC-ing. Made for a crazy cool read, especially since there were so many knives listed I didn't even know existed. Some awesome discontinued knives in the list!

The next thing I'm curious to know: Where do ...
Legacy Food Storage Breakfast, Lunch, & Dinner Bucket Review
I know that many preppers think it's silly to fixate on taste when it comes to survival food. If you're in an emergency situation, they'll argue, you're unlikely to care about the taste of the food as much as you'll care that you have food in the first place. They're obviously right, but somehow that hasn't stopped me from caring about the taste of prepper food in the past. If I can get my hands ...
September 2017 EDC Pocket Dump
A minimalist EDC update for doing things around my grandmother's garden. This, of course, does not include all the things in my pocket that can be seen here. The Mandra is a super nifty little knife. I would define it broadly as a neck knife, but you can just about get a full three-finger grip, which makes it viable (in my opinion) for some more intensive tasks. Review obviously coming ...
