Cool and colorful is the name of the game this week. About half of this week’s lineup of new gear offers functional outdoor gear in bright tones that reflect the long days of daylight ahead of us. From dog kennels to portable batteries to sporty sunglasses, there’s something for everyone to use in the outdoors — and look cool doing it. We also have some interesting innovations on hand, like a running vest designed to improve safety and a charger that splits into two batteries. Add in a new book from famed adventurer Jimmy Chin, and you’ve got an extra-fun…

The Impossible isn’t the kind of movie you watch casually. It starts with a sense of calm, lets you settle in—and then shatters everything. The film doesn’t build tension—it delivers it. The tsunami hits hard, early, and without fanfare. And from there, things get real—real quick. You don’t follow a plot—you follow a family who is grinding their way through a disaster. And because the story is true, it doesn’t feel like fiction. Naomi Watts does an excellent and believable job of getting pummeled by the tsunami. Tom Holland and Ewan McGregor bring intensity and grit to this realistic and…

Once upon a time, I attempted to do a van-life buildout of a used Sprinter van with my ex-girlfriend. We weren’t particularly handy (or highly motivated to learn), so it didn’t go well for us, and we eventually gave up on creating the kind of chic, functional interiors now plastered all over Instagram. That was over 10 years ago, when there were far fewer options to help people like us create a car-camping living space without knowing how to install a cabinet. So, it’s a welcome sight to see a modular option for converting a vehicle into a functioning overlander.…

Most survival films sell you adrenaline. The Road strips that away and leaves you with something harder to face: the slow, brutal grind of collapse when everything—food, hope, morality—is running on fumes. It’s not exciting. It’s not comforting. But it’s honest. This is a story about what it really means to survive long after the world has ended. No government. No rescue. No clean water. Just a father and his son pushing forward through ash and silence. What makes it powerful isn’t action—it’s the quiet decisions made when there’s nothing left to lose. If you want a movie that shows…

Podcast: Play in new window | DownloadMost people prepping for trouble think about food, firearms, or gear. But few people start out thinking about clothing as part of their gear—even though the clothes on your back, and whether you have a plan for scaling up and down based on your risk, might matter more than any of it. That’s why my friend Josh Burmeister, a former Navy SERE instructor and Executive Protection pro, and I broke it down into six clear levels. This isn’t about buying a closet full of tactical costumes. It’s about understanding your clothing as a layered,…

Texas has long positioned itself as a bastion of Second Amendment freedom. With its deep gun culture, cowboy heritage, and constitutional carry law enacted in 2021, the Lone Star State projects an image of unapologetic support for the right to keep and bear arms. Politicians often tout Texas as a model for the rest of the nation, where law-abiding citizens can carry without government permission. Yet, a closer examination of its statutes reveals a more nuanced, eye-opening picture.  Truth is, Texas does not even rank in the top 10 of the most pro-Second Amendment states…

JOINT BASE ANDREWS, Md. (AP) — President Donald Trump on Friday showed off the new Air Force One, a formerly Qatari-owned jumbo jet that has been converted into the official U.S. presidential aircraft. The new aircraft eschews the Kennedy-era robin’s egg blue exterior of the old plane for a bolder look, with the underbelly of the plane painted navy blue with a red stripe above it. The plane’s left side, where the president boards, features the presidential seal, while the tail of the aircraft has a massive American flag on it. “This plane was transformed into a flying White House…

If you’ve ever wondered what a long-term blackout would feel like—not as a prepper, but as an ordinary person—this movie gets close. Into the Forest doesn’t start with panic. It starts with normal. And then quietly chips away at it. That’s what makes it effective. Whether you’re into preparedness or not, this is a film that takes its time and pulls you into the emotional side of survival. It’s about the small decisions. The things people ignore. And how fast comfort disappears when systems fail. When the grid fails, there’s no siren. No explosion. Just silence. That’s the quiet threat…

WASHINGTON (AP) — The question hangs in the halls at the Capitol: Was it worth it? Congress, which never authorized the war against Iran yet never fully objected to it, now must grapple with the consequences of President Donald Trump’s nearly four-month conflict: the lives lost, the billions spent and the national security fallout that has reordered the political dynamics in the Middle East. Ask senators what they think about the deal Trump struck to end the war, and they do not search too far for words. “Pathetic. Failure. Inevitable conclusion of a combination of never making the case to…

Podcast: Play in new window | DownloadA while back, I asked the Mind4Survival community to hit me with their biggest SHTF questions. These are the real concerns people have about what happens when systems fail and the normal rules don’t apply. These are my answers to the questions people asked about their real-world SHTF concerns. No fluff. Just practical insight based on my experience and understanding. And, because this is based on my perspective, I want to be challenged by your perspective. So, as I go through these questions, please think about how you’d respond to the question, and let…
