Over the past several weeks, I’ve had a growing sense that something in the world just isn’t right. It’s not tied to one headline, one country, or one event — it’s the pace, the pressure, and the feeling that major change may be closer than many of us want to admit. This isn’t a call to panic or a prediction of doom. It’s a reflection on uncertainty, global instability, and...

Every gun owner has made mistakes. Some are small, some are expensive, and some take years to fully understand. This video is my attempt to put those lessons out there so others don’t repeat them. I talk openly about spending too much — and too little — on accessories like optics, lights, and slings. I cover the trap of chasing internet hype instead of real-world needs, and why selling firearms...

When people talk about self-defense, the conversation often jumps straight to firearms. But the reality is that many people including women, teens, travelers, and even seasoned preppers either can’t carry a gun, don’t want to, or aren’t comfortable relying on one. That doesn’t mean they should be defenseless. In this video, we take a grounded, realistic look at non-lethal self-defense options that normal people can actually carry and use. From pepper...

Every year, the firearms industry releases dozens of new products, and every year we’re told that this launch or that platform is going to change everything. Most of the time, it doesn’t. In 2025, there was plenty of hype — but there were also a handful of firearms that genuinely stood out. Not because of flashy marketing, but because they addressed real problems, improved on existing designs, or signaled meaningful...

In recent years, more everyday Americans have turned their attention toward preparedness, self-defense, and emergency readiness. With growing uncertainty in the world, it’s natural to seek guidance from those who have faced extreme conditions. Many people look to former special operations soldiers for advice — men who are highly trained, disciplined, and deserving of deep respect. But preparedness for civilians operates under a very different set of rules. Elite military...

When most people think about surviving a major disaster or SHTF scenario, the countryside is often painted as the “ideal place to be.” And to be fair, rural living does come with real advantages—more space, fewer people, stronger community ties, and better access to natural resources. But there’s another side to the story that often gets overlooked. In my latest video, I dig into the real challenges rural and country...

Most people think preparedness is about stockpiling gear… but the truth is much simpler: skills matter more than stuff. Gear can break. Batteries die. Weather shifts. Technology fails. But the knowledge you carry — and the confidence that comes with it — can’t be taken from you. And today, too many people lack the basic capabilities our grandparents took for granted. If you lost power tonight, got stranded on the...

America is heading into a difficult winter, and most people have no idea what’s coming. In today’s video, we break down the major crises quietly unfolding across the U.S.—from electric grid strain, diesel and distillate shortages, rising fuel costs, tariff-driven price hikes, and looming government shutdown risks. These issues are already appearing in news reports, but they’re barely being discussed by mainstream media. My goal isn’t to scare you—but to...
