This week, on Tactical Tuesday, I’m going to share an incredibly effective firearms training tool that’s being used by everyone from suburban housewives practicing defensive skills to special operations teams drilling for direct action. What is it? It’s called the SIRT (Shot Indicating Resetting Trigger) and it is a dedicated laser firearm training platform. While I mentioned it briefly in Tactical Firearms Training Secrets, I didn’t have enough trigger time on the platforms … [Read more...]

Gear Reviews: Petzl Zipka, GoalZero Nomad Guide 10, shooting apps
Today, I’m going to share 2 tools that I use on a daily basis that I KNOW you could benefit from and 3 others that I love that you MAY have a use for, depending on how tech savvy you are. I’ll start off with the flashlights/headlamps that my wife and I use every single day—the LED Petzl Zipka with both white and red bulbs. I started using the Petzl Tikka and then the Petzl Zipka over a decade ago when I was training for and participating in nighttime trail races. I needed … [Read more...]

The Best Source For Gold & Silver For Preppers?
The drop in gold and silver prices the last few days has been heralded by Fox, CNN, Blaze, WSJ, and USA Today as both a major correction as well as a buying opportunities for people who are bullish on precious metals. . . which leads me to ask you, Why are the world's central banks and billionaires like Donald Trump, John Paulson, and Kyle Bass not only buying gold but telling others to as well? Well, in an interview with Newsmax, Trump said, “I think gold will go up as long as people … [Read more...]

Boston Bombing Gut Check
I shook my head in disgust when I heard about the bombings in Boston today. I was working and my mom sent an email to all of us kids, asking us to check in. I didn't know what was going on, so I called her. She told me about the bombings, told me that some cell and home phone service was being shut down, that some bridges were being shut down, and that things "might" be getting locked down around the country--and that was it. Not many details, and the web wasn't much better. I was … [Read more...]

Urban Survival Gardening After Disasters
Today, I want to introduce you to a proven strategy to feed hundreds, if not thousands or even millions of people after a breakdown in supply chains. This particular topic and the background story has fascinated me for some time, and I'm excited to get to share it with you today. One of the most frightening aspects of a post disaster situation for me isn't zombies, mutant bikers, or drug crazed home invaders swarming my neighborhood like locusts. Those storylines are frightening, dramatic, … [Read more...]

Tactical Tuesday—2 SOG EDC Knives Reviewed Pentagon Elite Vulcan
If you’ve been reading my materials for long, you know that I’m a HUGE proponent of carrying knives on an everyday basis. Whether it’s fixed blades, folders, or neck knives, I almost always have 2 blades on me. One of my biggest criteria for my folding knives is that I need to be able to, at least, open anything I carry with gloves on. Ideally, I can close it also, but I MUST be able to open it. This is not only for winter time, but I wear work gloves (heavy leather or Mechanix … [Read more...]

Active Shooter Training Plan
What is your plan if you find yourself in the middle of an active shooter situation? I want to share with you, briefly, a response plan for active shooters based on the proven model used in Israel. In fact, this model was so effective that it forced suicide attackers to abandon guns in favor of explosives. In short, mass murderers and politicians have both identified the same locations as high value targets—schools, malls, churches, stadiums, movie theaters, etc. Politicians have … [Read more...]

Why I Encourage My Wife To Claw My Face
I talk a lot about protecting yourself and your family by hiding the fact that you are taking intelligent steps to prepare breakdowns in civil order. Keeping food storage, camping gear, and firearms out of sight are all smart and necessary steps to take. But what happens if you still end up being the target of violence? If you believe in defending yourself from lethal threats with firearms, will you always be able to get to it and use it in time? Sometimes you have to fight JUST to get to … [Read more...]

Chris Kyle, Sniper, SEAL, hero. RIP
Sunday morning I woke up to a list of text messages telling me that Chris Kyle had been murdered on Saturday. If you're not familiar with Chris, he was a Navy SEAL sniper who served 4 tours in Iraq and who had 150 confirmed kills, which was the most confirmed kills in US military history. If you were familiar with him before this weekend, chances are it was from his best selling book, "American Sniper" or from the TV series, Stars Earn Stripes. Chris was also a Christian, husband, father … [Read more...]
