It's no news to preppers that keeping your home safe is important. We've got that part down. What's a little more tricky is knowing which home security improvements are the most important for you to do, so you don't end up spending money buffing up security in areas that are perfectly fine, and accidentally overlooking other, more glaring security issues. There's no point in getting a quality ...
Kershaw Pub Sinkevich Multi-Function Keychain Knife Review
I think many of you will have seen this review coming. When Kershaw announced the "Pub" by Dmitry Sinkevich, I was beyond excited. It seems to me that Spyderco was always the de facto "weird 'lil knives" company, but recently I have found myself straying and loving these new quirky offerings from other mainstream brands. As I have written about before, after so many reviews it's exhausting to ...
What Knife Is Currently In Your Pocket?
Just thought it'd be cool to do a quick survey of what knife everybody's carrying at this present moment, so: Which knife or (let's be honest - with a lot of you that'll be) knives*, are you currently EDC-ing?

Kershaw Emerson CQC-10K Folding EDC Knife Review
Ever since Kershaw announced their collaboration with Ernie Emerson, I have been waiting for a knife like the CQC-10K to arrive. The first Emerson collabs were in the same vein as the previously reviewed CQC-6K, a true-blue Emerson design, but in a smaller-than-Emerson package. I figured Ernie would want to keep the full size "proper" Emersons with his own company and instead offer a taste of the ...
Do You Have Plans to Bug In, Bug Out, or Both?
We've spoken a bit about bugging in versus bugging out on this blog. Quite a long time a go, Thomas wrote up an article about the advantages and disadvantages of each option. There are of course many reasons why you might choose one option over the other - or might choose to split up your preps for the potential to do either down the line. I've been of the mind that if you at all can make your ...
