Have you had enough of 2020 yet? Honestly, if October 1st rolls around and either aliens land from space or the reptilian under-lords emerge from underground, I won’t even shrug. I can however, report that 2020 has proven that climate change is REAL. No, not that climate. The self-defense climate has completely changed, andContinue reading “Self-Defense Climate Change”

Immediate Steps – RBG Protests
The impending appointment of a Justice to replace Ruth Bader Ginsburg is going to erupt civil disturbances, protests, and riots across the country as soon as the nomination is announced. I’m not going to discuss the issues surrounding whether one should be or should not be appointed, because the politics of the situation don’t matter,Continue reading “Immediate Steps – RBG Protests”
Handling Spontaneous Crowds
As the security situation continues to deteriorate, we must all improve our abilities to defend ourselves. Many in the preparedness community immediately recommend concealed carry of a firearm as the ultimate defensive capability, but I always teach that a firearm is a tool of last resort. That’s even more true inside a crowd. There areContinue reading “Handling Spontaneous Crowds”
Hope Is Not A Strategy
Be alert & of sober mind, Your enemy the devil prowls around, Like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour. 1 Peter 5:8 A couple of weeks ago, I put out a post about Heeding Warnings. I got some feedback, accusing me of being political in the post. I would challenge that theContinue reading “Hope Is Not A Strategy”
Counter-Intelligence: Guarding Your Information

Proverbs 13:3 Solomon wrote those words thousands of years ago, and they are just as valid today as they were then. Our biggest security threat is ourselves. With the advent of social media and cell phones, we areContinue reading “Counter-Intelligence: Guarding Your Information”
Gathering Intelligence
Gathering intelligence refers to the practice of learning as much as you can about your local situation, to enable you to make better decisions about how you should react. Many people enter into preparedness and buy all kinds of gear, buy all kinds of food, guns, and ammunition, but then are caught completely unawareContinue reading “Gathering Intelligence”
Heeding Warnings
For the last few months, I’ve been warning you about ANTIFA security. I pointed out that they are armed, that they are confrontational, that they will target and follow you, and that they are prepared to use violence against anyone they feels opposes them. Now a man is dead, stalked and murdered by an ANTIFAContinue reading “Heeding Warnings”
Partner Training in Martial Arts
Two are better than one, Because they have a good return for their labor. Ecclesiastes 4:9 Everyone interested in preparedness and self-defense needs unarmed skills. Unarmed skills enable you to live long enough to get a gun in the fight. There are also times in which a gun isn’t a proper response, or you couldContinue reading “Partner Training in Martial Arts”
Organizing a Preparedness Group
One of the most common questions I get is, “How do I find like-minded people”. That’s only half the issue….the more important question is “How do I organize my group, once I’ve found them?”. First, in answering the first question, the internet is full of resources. Social media groups, websites, forums, and discussion groups areContinue reading “Organizing a Preparedness Group”
