Around-the-house EDC since we moved into our new flat a couple days ago. Been doing a lot of measuring for potential furniture, a lot of herb gardening (finally have herbs growing in my kitchen!), and constantly have open Pokémon Go on my phone in case there's anything interesting that happens to come 'round (Caught a Scyther yesterday in case anyone cares!! And yes, I did tell Thomas so he could ...
Maxpedition Jumbo Versipack EDC Shoulder Bag Review
Maxpedition has been a mainstay of the EDC community for a long, long time. I own a lot of their pouches and a few of their bags, but found myself hesitant to do full fledged review on them due to my mixed feelings on the "tactical" pouch market that I am sure will run contrarian to the point of view of most of my readers.

So Brexit’s Really Happening – What Should UK Preppers Do?
Thomas asked me if he should be writing up a post about Brexit on this blog the morning after we found out the votes for the referendum had come out in favour of a UK Brexit. He stayed up late that night and woke me up to tell me when the point of no return had been hit - and the UK was out for certain. I axed the idea of making a post straight away, insisting we have a level-headed, ...
