Podcast: Play in new window | DownloadMost people wait too long. The flames are already on the ridge. The alert comes after you’ve had that gut feeling for hours. And by the time you’re scrambling, you’re already behind. In 2022 alone, more than 3 million Americans had to evacuate their homes. Fires. Floods. Storms. Civil unrest. All kinds of chaos can force you to leave with little warning. But here’s the thing—most people still don’t have a plan. This episode fixes that. It’s a 7-step walkthrough to help you get out—fast, calm, and with everything that matters. Because the only…
A Virginia judge says that the plaintiffs in a case challenging Virginia’s gun and magazine ban set to take effect on July 1 have established the likelihood of irreparable harm if the ban becomes effective and is later determined to be unconstitutional, but refused to issue an injunction that would halt the law from being enforced while litigation continues. The case, known as Curtis v. Katz, is one of four state-level challenges to the impending ban, and the only one to argue that the new prohibitions on the sale, manufacture, and transfer of so-called assault…
Sony files a patent application for a new PlayStation controller that has buttons which include a strange and unique feature. Credit: Image via PlayStation Originally published by Game Rant Sony has filed a patent application for PlayStation controller buttons that could harden or soften based on the context of the game or app being played. Although Sony has not announced any new controllers with these buttons, the new PlayStation patent could make the next generation of Sony’s controllers stand out from the competition. Since the PlayStation’s familiar DualShock and DualSense controllers have been available, each generation has seen some distinct changes.…

Podcast: Play in new window | DownloadYou’ve probably seen lists like this before. “Top 10 Places to Be Looted When It All Goes Down.” The problem is, most of them read like they were written by someone who’s never lived through anything harder than a power outage. They recycle the same shallow talking points and leave you no smarter than when you clicked. That’s not what this is. This list isn’t just a run-down of obvious targets—it’s a decision-making tool. Each of these locations ties directly into your own choices, your own safety, and how you prioritize what you do…

Podcast: Play in new window | DownloadImagine the grid goes dark during a solar storm. Your freezer hums to silence, and the fridge light no longer greets you. Instead of scrambling or second-guessing, you have a plan—one that guides you on what to eat first, second, and beyond, all while keeping your family fed, healthy, and calm. That’s the power of the P.A.C.E.S. Food Plan. Most preparedness planning conversations revolve around P.A.C.E.—Primary, Alternate, Contingency, Emergency—a military-derived framework to ensure redundancy. But if your grid fails for weeks, months, or longer, you’ll need exactly what we as preppers say… more. More food,…
Forget pickup trucks or hypercars, the real driving force of vehicle innovation since 1984 has been the minivan. Especially the Chrysler minivan. Now CarBuzz has found a new patent from the people carrier experts that could make the company’s only model more flexible than ever. New Seat Idea Lets You Slide Back, Flip It, Or Reverse It Credit: Stellantis The patent is called Cross-Car and Fore-Aft Positionable Seating System. It’s a dull name, but the result makes even the modularity of Lego bricks look like child’s play. Stellantis engineers have invented a system of tracks that are installed in the floor…

Podcast: Play in new window | DownloadWhat throws most preppers off course isn’t a lack of commitment—it’s friction. Life piles on. Focus fades. And sometimes, without realizing it, you’re slogging through life reacting to it, instead of being as effective as you know you can. Prepping is a process, and like any process, it can drift. Over time, life happens, priorities shift, and we need a mental tune-up. The danger isn’t always external—it often comes from inside the system: our mindset, decisions, and day-to-day actions. The good news? If you can spot the drift early, you can fix it. Here…
With the details of the signed Memorandum of Understanding still unclear, it does appear, for all intents and purposes, that the United States has lost the war with Iran. That means Pete Hegseth, the first Secretary of War, has lost a war. As if the US couldn’t look more foolish, the MoU gives the US nothing it wanted when it comes to the military objectives it was pursuing in Iran. The only big “accomplishment” is that Iran will reopen the Strait of Hormuz, but not “toll-free” as US President Donald Trump claimed. But the vital waterway was open before the…
If you ask me (and I imagine other women), there is no greater hell than trying to buy pants. Every pair of pants fits differently, and sizes can be wildly inconsistent across brands. Now add the dimension of trying to find functional, durable pants that can perform in the outdoors. Oftentimes, it feels like I have a better shot at finding the Holy Grail than I do a pair of comfortable, high-quality hiking/climbing pants. After years of trying countless pairs of pants, I can say with confidence I’ve finally found my Holy Grail: the prAna Halle Pants ($98). These pants…
With the Supreme Court unanimously ruling that Ali Danial Hemani’s Second Amendment rights were violated when he was arrested and prosecuted for possessing a firearm while “regularly” using marijuana, does this mean that every pot smoker or drug user is now free and clear to exercise their Second Amendment rights without fear of criminal charges? Nope. The Court was clear that this was a narrow decision, and did not strike down Section 922(g)(3) in its entirety. In fact, it left the door wide open for federal prosecutions (and arrests) to continue, so long as the…
NBA star James Harden was reportedly arrested early Saturday morning in Houston on a misdemeanor weapons charge after police allegedly observed a handgun inside his vehicle during a traffic stop, according to reporting from KTLA. The 36-year-old former MVP was later released on a $100 bond and is scheduled to appear in court on June 22. At first glance, it may sound like a straightforward gun case. Then you start reading the details. According to multiple reports cited by KTLA, the handgun was allegedly in plain view inside Harden’s vehicle and was not being carried in a holster. That’s where…
Final Fantasy 7 Revelation is poised to be a hum-dinger of a game when it launches next year. That’s because, regardless of how it actually lands with audiences and critics, Final Fantasy 7 Revelation will be a AAA powerhouse, if the glitzy, expensive Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is any indication of its scale and scope. Revelation is also likely to land with a bang for another, more emotional reason: it’s the conclusion of the Final Fantasy 7 remake saga, which kicked off more than six years ago with Final Fantasy 7 Remake. As such, it’s going to reveal the many…

Podcast: Play in new window | DownloadIf you’ve spent any time in the prepping world, you’ve thought long and hard about the X. The event. The disaster. The fight. The day it all goes sideways. You’ve worked on plans to get through it—the food, the water, the gear, the skills. Good. That’s the work. But here’s the question almost nobody preps for: what happens to your mind after you make it through? That’s the heart of my conversation with Kris Hasenauer on episode 308 of the Mind4Survival podcast. Kris is a former Green Beret with the 20th Special Forces Group…
If you follow watch culture at all, you’ll quickly realize that “watch people” take their stuff pretty seriously. Maybe that’s why Christopher Ward is such a breath of fresh air. With the release of the C60 Pool Diver ($1,475 with a steel Bader bracelet, and $1,250 with an Aquaflex rubber strap), Christopher Ward offers a super-functional watch with a sense of humor. It’s self-deprecating in ways few brands try to be. And realistically, it’s much more in tune with how most people actually use a dive watch. The Pool Diver is a follow-up to the wildly popular Desk Diver watch,…
