Long time since I have done an EDC drop. Frankly, as I get older (and busier) I just don't switch stuff out as much as I used to, nor do I chase new shinies. Knife is the Boker Atlas in Copper. It's well made and slip, so fits pretty much anything I am wearing. As for my phone- yeah, it's a few generations behind, but with current performance, I have zero incentive to upgrade beyond battery ...
Just 2 Foods = The Best (& Cheapest!) Long-Term Prep Stockpile
I can't remember if it was at the start of COVID or a couple of years before, but at one point or another, Thomas and I got to the point where we'd settled into our new home here in Portugal, and were starting to want to really grow our long-term, rather than short-term preps. We had already stocked our pantry chalk full of plenty of long shelf life food we regularly consume to avoid inflation ...
99% of You Won’t Survive a Long-Term Emergency with These 3 SHTF Plans
I cannot count the number of time's I've heard or read preppers, survivalists, and bushcrafters say that, in case there's an emergency situation, they'll be fine because they know how to hunt.

Emergency Experience: Forest Fire on My Doorstep. Again.
Once again in July a fire broke out right behind my home. I did the usual preps as per my experience the year before, but as I snapped away photographs and considered my options and risk, I realized that my entire experience was procedural. Standard Operating Apathy, much like the risk of pandemics, shortages etc. I find myself almost indifferent to the potential of trauma or theoretical ...
Knife Drop: Happy New Year, Guys! 2024 Is the Year We’ll Be Back…
We've dropped by sporadically here and there over the years, but our life up to this point has been so hectic and full of chaos that coming back to our roots - by returning to blogging regularly - has felt more like a long shot dream than a possible reality. Not this year. This year we've got not only the desire and motivation, but have cleared our plates well enough that we can finally jump on ...
Invasion of Ukraine – Please Grow a Pair
Evening folks. Long time no chat as usual, but much like the pandemic, sometimes fuckery of untold proportion unfolds which forces me away from the repetitive rigours of normal life to hammer away at my keyboard. So here we are. Unless you have been living under a rock, Russia has invaded Ukraine and is in the process of chewing up as much territory as possible. Right off the bat, please ...
