Theoretical raiders The term "raiders" gets used a lot here to mean a group of individuals attacking a prepper's home, BOL or compound. The motivations, the equipment, the tactics and the size that preppers assume these groups are likely to consist of, varies wildly from person to person...

Got to thinking on this - it's safe to assume that most everyone you'd encounter during SHTF is armed. Bad guys, LEO, military, normal guys who were unprepared and have to venture out, even preppers who had an oversight or who are bugging out due to changing circumstances. I assume that pretty...

Hi everyone, So I have been thinking of ways to better protect myself inside my second story apartment. I plan to bug in (Shelter in place) if anything bad happens and only bug out if my home is compromised (Burning, Collapsing, etc) as I don't really have any other place to go. I have a 3...

Seeing our presIdential candidates (primarily the female Snowden) as well as the "dindu nuffins" attacking law enforcement after a few idiots breaking the law get themselves killed, and don't even get me started on the gun control debates after the most recent shootings. I really think the...

A huge thank you to all of you who wanted to read my Prepper friendly apocalyptic novel "The Dying Time: Impact" in print as opposed to an ebook. Took me awhile to figure out how to get it out on CreateSpace but it was worth the effort. The print version is a full 6" x 9" so it looks like a...

The dust finally settles and now what? Maybe not TEOTWAWKI but a big enough SHTF scenario that we will be on our own for a while. Once that dust settles and people start trying (the best the can) to rebuild there will be trading and interacting so there will have to be some kind of law. The...

AFTER THE DYING TIME—Book 2 in The Dying Time Trilogy In a post-Impact world there are Kings, subjects, slaves and those desperately fighting to remain free. Twelve years after The Dying Time Impact, Joseph Scarlatti reigns as King of California, or at least that’s what he’s called to his face...

I'm relatively new to the forum, and wanted to ask if I was the only one looking into this. I've got a BOL if need be, but would like to try and stay put if we could rode out a tempoarary interruprtion in everyday life. I live in a condo complex with shared roofs, and if a place catches fire, it...

I am a DIY type of guy and am wondering about something and was hoping to get some imput from Concrete GURU's. I am thinking about constructing an 8ft high 12 inch thick perimeter fence around my house. I live in the country and have no zoning regulations to comply with in regards to this issue...

I was talking with a prepper friend of mine and we were discussing the pros and cons of using big hotels or vacation resorts as potential bug-in or bug-out locations after wrol or shtf scenarios, and examining the best possible locations. If a catastrophic event occurred, it's my uneducated...

I found a 3pc E.C.W.S. sleeping bag set for a price that I cannot pass up. This particular one says "created especially for civilian use--imported". Are all genuine ecws sleeping bags made in America? If this one is a knock-off, what drawbacks will it have compared to the real military ones...

Here is a review I did on the Benchmark BMK007 ceramic neck knife. I believe it is the only ceramic neck knife on the market.

Just had a thought the other day. Wondering if Australia has ever had a true break down in law and order in any areas for any length of time. There was the Eureka Stockade, but that was a bloody long time ago now. I've heard that after the bombing of Darwin WWII the corrupt military police...

"FerFal" Aguirre and his life after the Argentina Economic Collapse of 2001 Hello survivalists. In the survivalist section of a certain gun forum I came across a informative link about what it will look like in a WROL (Without rule or law) situation. Since this has to do with survival, I...
