I heard that KGI in Arkansas is starting to ship Tavor bullpups! I suspect that the parts for these will soon be import banned via Executive Order, so they’d be good to buy even as an investment. The brown “Flat Dark “Earth” color variant would blend in better, in nearly all environments. (Black is a color rarely seen in nature, so it sticks out.) o o o A gent in Delta Junction, Alaska wrote to ask if we still provide free shooting targets. Yes, we do! o o o The first mass-marketed fire escape respirator to protect against …

Below is my concise strategy to completely ban firearms in the US within 10 years. I am not alone here, rest assured there are many groups that have paid tidy sums to have the same roadmap developed and are currently rolling it out in a very deliberate manner. Step 1 – Divide to conquer. We know there were not enough votes …
Dear CPT Rawles, Thank you for SurvivalBlog, and best wishes to all of you at the Rawles Ranch. My wife and I have written to once before about retreat locale recommendations, and you were so very helpful. We are, I guess what you could call “late preppers” because we’ve only been working on this for about the last year, & part of that with admittedly a certain skepticism. Time has proven you right however, & now we are doing all we can. It’s tough to prioritize when you need so much, and everything is like an emergency right NOW …

Many (if not most) people seek wealth, yet few can define it. There are many practical definitions. One author defines wealth as having sufficient assets to provide the cash flow necessary to meet your monthly living expenses. That’s a great definition for normal times, but having a bunch of rental houses when the dollar is worthless and the hungering hoards are loose upon society won’t do you much good. If you are at all familiar with the concepts promoted in this blog you know what you need to have for basic survival. I will not spend space and electrons reviewing …
Dear Sir: Many are dismayed by the recent Colorado law restricting firearms. But a cursory reading shows that the law only applies to “persons liable” and not the people at large. Regarding any new law, tax or regulation, remember to ask servant government: [ ] Whose endowed rights are being secured by this ? [ ] How and when did I give consent to be bound by this ? [ ] What privilege is the subject of this tax ? Because the Declaration of Independence states that Job #1 = secure rights, and Job #2 = govern those who consent. …

"Let us consider, brethren, we are struggling for our best birthrights and inheritance, which being infringed, renders all our blessings precarious in their enjoyments, and, consequently trifling in their value. Let us disappoint the Men who are raising themselves on the ruin of this Country. Let us convince every invader of our freedom, that we will be as free as the constitution our fathers recognized, will justify." – Samuel Adams, A State of the Rights of the Colonists, 1772
