“The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for them; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose. It shall blossom abundantly, and rejoice even with joy and singing: the glory of Lebanon shall be given unto it, the excellency of Carmel and Sharon, they shall see the glory of the LORD, [and] the excellency of our God. Strengthen ye the weak hands, and confirm the feeble knees. Say to them [that are] of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not: behold, your God will come [with] vengeance, [even] God [with] a recompence; he will come and …
What We’re Shooting For This article is intended as a guide for preppers who want to buy their first or first few guns, but have very limited funds to do so. It will give specific recommendations for affordable and reliable firearms in the .22 Long Rifle caliber category, shotgun category, handgun category, and rifle category.

Sales within New York were immediately halted and are now forever forbidden unless there is an unlikely repeal or successful legal challenge. This means that if you live in New York state and wanted to get a PTR91, AR15, WASR, Saiga, or a standard capacity magazine for any …

Tip #1: Bug-in Chances are that you won’t be in such immediate danger (dirty bomb, lava about to engulf your house, spiders like in that Arachnaphobia movie) that you actually have to leave your home.

Hello, I am searching for the answer to a question I am sure has been answered, but I have not been able to locate. I live in Georgia and have been stocking up on foods.

Many foods cannot be left in the extreme heat, and I am sure people in colder climates face the inverse problem. It is not yet a issue for me, …
