Thanks to WRSA for linking to this article HERE There is a lot of good stuff out there in response to the school shooting. A lot of it is on American Thinker, a site which I find interesting. There is limited comment that I can add. I will say these things: 1. It is an […]

Firstly, note to self: don’t get in a fight with John Mosby HERE Which leads me on to some comments. The first thing you want to do with a fight, is avoid it. This applies equally well both now, and in any post-collapse type scenario. To help you with that avoidance plan, you need to […]

My apologies for the dearth of posts lately. I have been fully committed to writing my first fiction book: ‘Patriot Dawn: The Resistance Rises’ I have now written it, and I am entering the editing, rewriting, and finessing stage. I am still not certain on the exact specifics of the ending, but I’m pondering on it. I […]

I have been immersed in writing ‘Patriot Dawn’. It occurred to me that I have not posted recently, so I pulled this excerpt out of ‘Rapid Fire! Tactics for High Threat, Protection and Combat Operations’. I was writing about an urban defense/battle scenario as part of the storyline, so this came to mind.It is just […]

In the comments section to my Body Armor/Plate carrier post (followed up by supplentary posts on gear HERE and HERE), Matt Bracken left an excellent comment. I am reposting it here with the aim of kicking off a debate on the subject matter. Matt actually states that he’s not trying to start off a debate, but it seems […]

In response to my recent post on GEAR, which in itself was in reponse to my other post on BODY ARMOR/PLATE CARRIERS, I had an excellent email come in from Mr. White. He blogs HERE. With hs permission, I have reproduced his email below, along with the attached document he sent me with a great […]

I was asked a question about body armor, what type to get. It seemed like a good topic for a post:I am a fan of body armor. In any kind of ‘kinetic’ situation when receiving incoming small arms fire, it will significantly reduce the chances of sustaining a penetrating wound to the torso. Such wounds […]

I am currently writing my fiction book, ‘Patriot Dawn: The Resistance Rises’. It’s a development of the idea of tactical fiction, written as a full novel based around a collapse/civil war scenario. Not too dissimilar to what we may be currently facing, oddly enough. As part of the storyline, it will include techniques and fictional […]

LINK HERE I am linking to an article over at SHTFplan.com about a book: ‘Beyond Collapse: Surviving and Rebuilding Civilization From Scratch’ I have not yet read this book, but I just purchased it. I am interested in the premise, which is the need to survive a long term collapse after the ‘preps’/stored food have […]

There has been a gap in posts lately. I will get back on it shortly. I have been concentrating on writing my book and also contributing to an article for APN. I’ll post that article when it comes out next week – it was regarding strategies for those having to travel on business and what […]
