When disaster strikes, there is no room for guesswork when it comes to your food. You need to know what you have, how much, and how long it will last you. A well-prepared food supply addresses one of your most critical needs. When it comes to food prep, the bottom line is that if you run out, you and your family will find yourselves on a survival countdown. Food prepping is not about throwing random cans of food into a dark cabinet and hoping for the best. It is about building a layered, intentional system on top of a solid…

Summary: A Sunday night Axios report on a US-proposed 45-day ceasefire has, by Monday morning, been rejected by Iran: diplomatic talks are “absolutely incompatible with ultimatums, crimes, and threats to commit war crimes,” the Foreign Ministry said. Iran rejects apparent US fresh proposal as Israel strikes large petrochemical plant at South Pars. There’s been another extension of what had been a 10-day deadline for Iran to open the Strait of Hormuz – a deadline that was initially set to expire on Monday evening. Now Trump says Iran has until 8 pm on Tuesday. Trump warned Iran on Easter Sunday to ‘Open the Fuckin’…
Paul Ivnitskiy from Ammunition To Go makes a straightforward claim: most shooters think they have their rifle zeroed when they’ve really just copied popular advice. Generic 25-meter, 36-yard, or 100-yard zeros can work okay for general use, but they frequently fall short on modern setups once barrel length, velocity, and especially optic height enter the equation. Ammo To Go’s new Zero Tool should help you accomplish that much more easily now. In the video above and article (posted in full below), Ivnitskiy explains that a real zero should maximize Maximum Point Blank Range (MPBR) — the distance over which a…
This article was originally published by Michael Snyder at The Economic Collapse Blog under the title: “The Everything Meltdown”: Global Supply Chains Are Collapsing, And Most People Cannot Even Imagine The Pain That Is Coming When global supply chains collapse, the pain is not felt immediately. Tankers that left their destinations before the war with Iran began are still arriving at their destinations, products that were manufactured prior to the war still fill our shelves, and we are still eating food that was produced last year. So even though global supply chains are collapsing all around us, most people don’t…
Images by the author I recently took a mini-break to North Carolina to visit friends and was able to stop by Trailblazer Firearms (TF) in Fletcher. I wrote an introductory article on this innovative company… look for it here soon.

On March 27, an Iranian missile scored a high-value hit on Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia, reducing an Air Force E-3 (AWACS) command center aircraft worth up to $500 million to splinters and shards. While the strike underscored Iran’s capabilities, it also reignited a longstanding conversation about the need for the U.S. to protect its aircraft and other high-value equipment with underground bunkers and hardened shelters — an area in which analysts say adversaries like China have invested far more extensively.“People are asking the valid question: What on earth was this half-billion dollar airplane doing sitting right out…
For gardeners with poor soil, hungry wildlife, poor sunlight, or all of the above, container gardening provides several answers. You can manipulate the soil in your container to be just what you need for the type of plants you are growing. Container gardens can be moved anywhere you like. They can be transferred to follow seasonal sunlight changes, and they can be placed in an enclosure, on a porch, or a protected location to deal with hungry pests like rabbit, deer, and squirrels.

Most people are completely unprepared for a disaster. And I’m not talking about being prepared for some end-of-the-world scenario. Most people aren’t even prepared for common disasters that happen all the time. Hurricanes. Floods. Earthquakes. Wildfires. Chemical spills that force an evacuation. A winter storm that knocks out power for a week. Sudden disasters don’t care whether you’re ready or not. And when one hits, the last thing you want to be doing is scrambling to find flashlight batteries or realizing you don’t have a single gallon of clean water in your house. The good news is that basic preparedness…
