SurvivalBlog’s News From The American Redoubt

This column is posted on Tuesdays. Here, we present news stories and event announcements from around the American Redoubt region.  We also mention companies in the region of interest to preppers. The Redoubt region is perhaps the safest and most free place to live in these United States.

With the regular recent rains, the fire season will be mild this summer–at least in the northern part of the Redoubt. As of today’s date, none of the American Redoubt is experiencing a drought.

Next, many SurvivalBlog readers are already familiar with SniperCentral.com.  It is one of those great “go to” web sites, with a wealth of information on accuaret long range shooting. But few readers realize that they actually have a brick and mortar store right on Highway 93, in Victor, Montana.  If you are a local or passing through southwestern Montana, then drop by!  And please mention SurvivalBlog when you do.

Also, in the same region, is the up-and-coming Bitterroot Valley Ammunition Company (BVAC). I’ve heard that they don’t have a retail storefront, but their ammunition is now widely sold through dealers. I’ve seen “BVAC Ammunition Sold Here” banners at gun shops and even at gas stations in Montana and Idaho.

And next, anyone who own an old rusty gun that they want restored should check out Arden Gun Company. They are located in Colville, Washington. They specialize in gun repairs, rebluing, Parkerizing, and Duracoating. Also they re-line of .22 barrels. They are highly recommended by their customers.

Up next, Freedom Arms, in the little town of Freedom, Wyoming deserves special mention. They are located right near the Idaho State line, in the Star Valley of western Wyoming. They have long been famous for their big single action .454 Casull revolvers. But now they also make a very stout stainless steel single shot handgun with 11 different chamberings available. Check out their web page.

  1. This new layout takes a lot of getting use to. At first, I detested it. You need to let people know that there is more to it, if you click on topics. It is classy looking but could scan the older one faster.

    1. Articles under 150 words will fit on the excerpt page. Longer articles will always have that “Continue Reading” link at the bottom of the excerpt. You also have to click on the article if you want to read the comments. You can click “Continue Reading”, the article title or the picture to get to the full article.
