When we think about prepping, we often focus on food, water, and shelter. These are critical, but there’s one element we can’t survive without for more than a few minutes: clean air. You can go three weeks without food, three days without water, and three hours without shelter in harsh conditions. But you only have about three minutes without oxygen before your brain starts to suffer. Air quality isn’t just a concern for extreme survival scenarios. Events like chemical spills, gas leaks, and wildfire smoke can turn the air you breathe into a serious hazard. These situations might seem rare,…
Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) has said that France intends to use private companies in order to “assist” foreign rulers involved in armed conflict. The SVR alleged that this is evidence that Paris wants to be directly involved in the conflict with Ukraine. France has historically shown that it wants to be heavily involved in the conflict between Moscow and Kiev. Russia has also long accused the French government of wanting to put boots on the ground in Ukraine. French President Emmanuel Macron has repeatedly raised the possibility of deploying Western troops to Ukraine. In August, he told reporters in…
While the world is changing at an incredibly fast pace, learning from those who traveled the road less traveled before us is still a great place to start when considering overland travel. Online content is great for keeping up to date with the latest happenings, but the in-depth stories for inspiration and practical knowledge are many times still found in longer-form books. Whether read physically on paper or through digital means like Kindle, or even heard through audio versions, books about overland travel are well worth your time. From true classics to the latest releases, our best overland book list has…
Despite the paltry number of guns collected during the Liberal’s trial run of their long-delayed compensated confiscation scheme, the Canadian government is moving ahead with its plan to expand its “buyback” efforts nationwide. Under former prime minister Justin Trudeau the Liberals enacted a sweeping prohibition of semi-automatic firearms, but the party’s attempt to implement the portion of the law dealing with acquiring these now-illegal arms has been stymied by delays and cost overruns… as well as pushback from some of Canada’s more conservative provinces. Alberta seems to be leading the charge against the Liberals’ gun…
As the number of remaining World War II veterans continues to dwindle, Gilbert “Choc” Charleston, one of the last Native American WWII soldiers and the final surviving member of his unit, died on Thanksgiving night at age 101. The news of Charleston’s passing was confirmed by the Choctaw Nation, of which the veteran was a member. Charleston was one of only about 45,000 U.S. veterans remaining from World War II, based on numbers from the National WWII Museum. In perhaps his final interview, Charleston told his captivating story to CBS News Texas in early November. He would have turned 102 on…
Two 18-year-olds are in custody after allegedly firing a gun in New York City’s 42nd Street-Port Authority subway station on Monday night. The station is located in Times Square, which I guess makes it a double “gun-free zone” since both the New York City transit system and Times Square are designated as “sensitive places” where lawful concealed carry isn’t allowed. Despite that designation, and the fact that New York City law forbids possession of pistols for those under the age of 21, at least one of the teens apparently had little problem acquiring a handgun…
Colt CZ Group is closing out the first nine months of 2025 with solid momentum, posting CZK 16.1 billion in revenue, a 7.3% jump over the same period last year. The company says the ammo side of the house did the heavy lifting, powered by the full consolidation of Sellier & Bellot and strong demand across Europe and military/law-enforcement contracts. Adjusted EBITDA climbed 13.6% to CZK 3.43 billion, with margins rising to 21.4%, again thanks to the high-profit ammunition segment. Adjusted net profit also ticked up 11.8%, hitting CZK 1.45 billion. But it wasn’t all sunshine. Firearm unit sales dipped…
Accustomed to hunting on land where his grandfather taught him how to move through the woods, Jack Summerfield had his eyes set on a new property in Southeast Virginia this year. While he doesn’t have as much time as he’d like to hunt, he still enjoys bow hunting as a way to connect with nature and share the tradition passed down to him. In preparation for this hunting season, Summerfield walked the land to get a feel for how deer might move across it and where he could position himself on actual hunts. To make the most of his time…
The Trump administration is making another move to advance and protect our Second Amendment rights, and this time it doesn’t involve the Justice Department or subordinate agencies like the ATF. Instead, it’s the Department of Education that’s taking a bold step to help ensure that students across the country can learn about the right to keep and bear arms, from its origin in 1791 to the ongoing legal efforts to secure and strengthen that right. The DoE is providing the University of Wyoming’s College of Law’s Firearms Research Center with a new grant to help provide…
This article was originally published by Michael Snyder at The Economic Collapse Blog. For a long time, we were warned that when the financial system finally started melting down, the price of silver would explode. It appears that those who predicted this were quite prescient. The yen carry trade is unwinding, more than a trillion dollars in cryptocurrency wealth has been wiped out, stocks and bonds have been extremely volatile, and the U.S. dollar has plummeted in value since the beginning of the year. Meanwhile, the price of silver has nearly doubled since January 1st… In just 11 months, the price of…
Anti-gunners like to attribute all sorts of nefarious things to their opponents. They’ll accuse them of dirty, underhanded things like buying politicians outright, all while doing the exact same things. This is called “projection,” and when it comes to anti-Second Amendment types, they’re IMAX level. It seems, though, that in the US Virgin Islands, their anti-gunners are up to some even deeper shenanigans.For example, let’s look at this little tidbit from Sen. Clifford Joseph, Sr. No big deal, right? It’s just announcing a town hall. Transparency and discussion are good things, right?Well, yeah, they are, but…
Outdoor communication keeps getting smarter, smaller, and, like all thing, more expensive. Garmin’s new inReach Mini 3 Plus ($499) adds a touchscreen, voice messaging, and photo sharing to a device that once prided itself on being almost stubbornly simple. The new version jumps from a tiny grayscale screen and a handful of buttons to something closer to a stripped-down phone. It sends voice messages, supports photo viewing, allows photo sharing when paired with the Messenger app, and uses a touchscreen for faster navigation. It’s a sharp turn for a device best known for blunt practicality. The core inReach pieces are…
Every new set of orders is delivering another round of sticker shock to military households.Military families are being hit with mounting unreimbursed costs during Permanent Change of Station (PCS) moves as freight prices rise, personal property contractors fall short, and reimbursements fail to match real world expenses.Studies from military family organizations show that many households lose thousands of dollars per move through damage, delays and gaps in coverage while federal watchdogs warn the system responsible for shipping household goods remains fractured after recent contract failures.Hundreds of thousands relocate every year and the Defense Department faces growing pressure to stabilize the…

In a time when less than 1% of Americans serve, one creator has become an unexpected bridge between the military and the public — not through politics or messaging, but through unforgettable storytelling. In this exclusive interview with Sam Eckholm, Military.com got to peek behind the camera to see what really drives him.When Sam Eckholm talks about what he does, he doesn’t use words like “influencer,” “brand,” or “platform.” He uses a simpler one: storyteller.And in an era where military service is often misunderstood, reduced to headlines, or overshadowed by political noise, Eckholm’s mission feels both rare and necessary.“We’re never…
