Medical emergencies can happen when you least expect them. One morning, I was making breakfast for the family and was slicing a bagel. Next thing you know, the bagel knife slipped and sliced through a huge part of my left thumb. There was blood everywhere, so the first thing I did was to find gauze and apply pressure to control the bleeding. The bleeding lessened, but would not stop. I ended up driving myself to the hospital Emergency Department, where the ER doc stitched up the wound. I was glad I had that first aid kit to at least help…

I spent years overseeing the guard force security contract at the embassy in Baghdad. I know this 100+ acre compound well, and I know exactly what it means to rely on its defensive systems. There has been a recent shift in the security landscape that every preparedness-minded person needs to pay attention to. Recently, Iranian proxies launched a drone and rocket attack on the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad. One of this world’s most critical and heavily fortified diplomatic facilities isn’t just another localized target. It signals a major change in how warfare and terrorism are conducted—and it has direct ripple…

It’s Independence Day. It’s the 250th Independence Day. It’s a special time that will be filled with celebration, family, friends, and a desperate attempt to survive the heat. I still remember the 200th Independence Day. I was small, but I made my mother bake a birthday cake for America.

Podcast: Play in new window | DownloadImagine you’re relaxing at home when the sounds outside shift—from the quiet hum of your street to chaos. Tires screeching. People yelling. Cars are driving into yards and doing donuts on front lawns. Within minutes, the quiet safety of your neighborhood vanishes. In its place, a dangerous, violent mob, with total disregard for you and your family, has invaded and overrun your neighborhood like a horde of Mongol raiders. Although it should be, this isn’t the start of a Jason Statham action movie. It’s a reality that happened this past weekend in Queens, New…

Podcast: Play in new window | DownloadWhen 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…

More than a decade after leaving the Army, Medal of Honor recipient Clint Romesha still thinks about service. Not because he’s wearing a uniform. Not because he’s receiving orders. And not because he’s reliving the battle that earned him the nation’s highest award for valor. Instead, Romesha sees service as something that continues long after military service ends. Taking the uniform off gives us the opportunity to continue to serve, Romesha told Military.com. As the United States is at the 250th anniversary of its founding, veteran advocates say that mindset may be one of the military community’s greatest contributions to…

Podcast: Play in new window | DownloadWe move through dozens of different environments every single day. Home → car → gas station → work → school → store → restaurant → home again. Each time we step into a new place or mix with new people, our risk profile quietly shifts. Most folks never notice. I do. You should notice too. All it takes is thirty seconds to update my head—my mindset and situational awareness—and I’m set to go. That habit keeps me calm and keeps me prepared. I always have a plan to get through the few seconds to…

If you live in a small space, storing preparedness essentials can be tough. One of the biggest challenges is storing water, which is also one of the most important items you need on hand. You need to have extra water for everyone in the family in case of power outages, boil water notices, broken water mains, hurricanes, or winter storms that freeze the pipes. The good news is, you can store a good amount of water in a condo with a bit of creativity. I’ve lived in various small spaces over the years and have been able to store water…
