Rasmus Midgett was patrolling the North Carolina coast during a hurricane when he heard voices somewhere beyond the dark surf. The barkentine Priscilla, a type of sailing ship with three or more masts, had run aground and begun breaking apart; its wooden hull splintering and collapsing under the pounding surf. Ten survivors remained aboard. Midgett was alone, and returning to the Gull Shoal Life-Saving Station for help would cost several hours they might not have. Instead, he went into the water. Midgett directed seven men to jump from the wreck one at a time, catching them as the waves carried…

When most of us think of diseases caused by ticks, likely Lyme Disease first comes to mind, and then maybe Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever or Alpha-gal Syndrome. Now, there is another dangerous tick-borne illness: Bourbon virus. This relatively rare disease was first discovered in 2014 in Kansas, and scientists recently documented the first case in New York. Bourbon virus presents several challenges to medical and public health professionals. Here’s what we know. What Happened?

On Friday, the FBI released its report on active shooter incidents in 2025. The news, however, was quickly overshadowed by the active shooter incident that unfolded on Saturday afternoon in Twin Falls, Idaho, where a 24-year-old man opened fire on employees and customers at an In-N-Out restaurant before an off-duty police officer and an armed citizen sent him fleeing. Like that shooting, the FBI report shows that the most common place for an active shooter incident in 2025 was businesses, though not all of them are open to the public. Of the 34 incidents recorded…

Podcast: Play in new window | DownloadThis episode and article were inspired by a great listener question from E. Hunter, who asked: “As an 18-year-old living with my parents, how would I go about getting my parents onboard with prepping?” That question’s probably not one a lot of you are wondering—especially because, let’s face it, most preppers are old enough to be the parents or grandparents in this situation. That’s what makes this topic so interesting — it flips the usual dynamic. So, Hunter, you’re ready to take preparedness seriously, but your parents? Not so much. Maybe they brush it…
This article was originally published by Michael Snyder at The End of the American Dream. Those who believe that the global energy crisis is going to be magically solved by a “memorandum of understanding” that is already being violated by both sides are going to be in for a very rude awakening. As you will see below, the Iranians have continued to launch drones at commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz. How are shipowners and insurance companies supposed to feel comfortable while this is going on? In the “memorandum of understanding”, Iran agreed to allow commercial vessels to travel…
The Second Amendment preserves the right of the people to keep and bear arms. That has been affirmed in multiple Supreme Court rulings by now, and while I know the anti-gunners disagree with it, they can learn to live with it. One big legal question that’s being discussed in the judicial system is whether that applies to accessories like suppressors. Suppressors aren’t essential to the proper function of a firearm, but considering why gun rights were preserved by the Founding Fathers, it seems pretty obvious that they should be treated as arms.Some don’t agree.Well, the…

Podcast: Play in new window | DownloadIf you spend much time on social media, particularly in prepping or survival circles, you’ve no doubt run across the suggestion that wasp spray makes for a dandy self-defense weapon. As the story goes, wasp spray has a range of 20 feet or more and it is severely debilitating to the attacker. On the scale of stupid ideas, this ranks somewhere north of peeing on a fence to see if it’s electric or not. Listen, before we go any further, let’s get this out of the way. The ideal defense weapon in most altercations…
JERUSALEM (AP) — Talks between the U.S. and Iran were called off on Friday after intense fighting between Israel and Hezbollah in southern Lebanon, three officials said, raising questions about a nascent agreement to end the war in Iran. Iranian officials didn’t travel as planned to Switzerland, insisting that the fighting in Lebanon must stop before the talks can take place, according to the officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the ongoing mediation to try to get the talks rescheduled. U.S. Vice President JD Vance also canceled his trip. Israel’s military struck targets in southern and eastern…
