Prepping doesn’t have to cost a lot of money if you know how to look for bargains. Garage sales and yard sales are great places to scoop up cheap survival items you might need for an emergency. The old saying that one man’s junk is another man’s treasure certainly applies here. Many people holding garage sales don’t know the true value of what they’re selling, or they simply don’t see items for how useful they are and end up selling them for next to nothing. Yard sale season is here, so now is the time to get out there and…
A deadly shooting in Montreal has reignited Canada’s gun control debate, with Mayor Soraya Martinez Ferrada calling on the federal government to “go further” even as critics question what additional restrictions would accomplish. The comments came after a tragic incident Monday that left a Montreal police officer, a civilian, and the suspect dead. Following a visit to the city’s Côte-des-Neiges district, Ferrada offered condolences to the victims’ families and praised first responders who responded to the scene. “You can feel the pain,” she told reporters. But while discussing ways to prevent future tragedies, the mayor also argued that Canada should…
Battlefield 6 spent the opening act of Season 3 making a very loud argument about scale. Railway to Golmud, the season’s first major map, reset expectations for the game’s largest environments as an enormous, vehicle-saturated reimagining of the beloved Battlefield 4 original, with more airspace and flanking routes for flavor. But Blastpoint, Season 3’s second update, arrived with the return of the Obliteration mode and Cairo Bazaar, Battlefield 6’s take on fan-favorite map Grand Bazaar from Battlefield 3, trading one sense of scale for a different focus — tight, infantry-focused shootouts across arms-length alleys. Yet as Battlefield 6 pivots to…
Podcast: Play in new window | DownloadA major threat during emergencies that is rarely discussed is the possibility that our own brain can work against us. We’d like to think that we would react quickly if something didn’t feel right, but unfortunately, our brains are wired to discount anything that goes against our routine. This mental tendency is called “normalcy bias.” It can cause us to ignore early warning signs, freeze in our tracks, or, worse, wait until it’s too late to act. For urban dwellers, recognizing danger quickly is one thing we can control if we can train our…
We’ve spilled a lot of digital ink on the new gun control laws coming to Virginia, and not without reason. They’re egregious infringements on the right of the people to keep and bear arms. They’re awful. California, on the other hand, is where we’re used to seeing such egregious infringements. Yes, we’ve talked about them, but California could come out tomorrow and say they’re going to round up all of the guns in the state, and no one would be particularly shocked. They’d be outraged, yes, but not totally surprised.However, bad ideas from California are…
If you’ve ever wanted to channel your inner cowboy without spending a fortune on ammo, Winchester Air Rifles has something worth a look. The company recently announced its new Single Action Western Revolver, a CO2-powered six-shooter that looks like it rode straight out of a dusty frontier town. Built from metal with a gunmetal finish and nickel-plated accents, the revolver features a functioning hammer, loading gate, and extractor. In other words, Winchester didn’t just make another BB gun. They leaned hard into the Old West theme. The revolver shoots both BBs and pellets using included cartridges. Winchester includes six BB…
Podcast: Play in new window | DownloadOn a bitterly cold morning—when the pipes freeze up, and the faucets stop running—the reality of frozen plumbing hits fast. That was my experience last Saturday morning, with wind chills in the negative double digits. First thing in the morning, I noticed the toilet sounded odd. There was no water filling the tank after it was flushed. That’s when it hit me—”Great, my pipes must be frozen.” Up until that moment, I’d never dealt with frozen pipes, so the question popped into my head: “Okay, so my pipes are frozen, now what do I…
The state of Georgia provides precisely one exception to preemption of gun laws. Local governments can ban the discharge of firearms within the city limits. That’s it. My hometown of Albany can’t ban assault weapons. Atlanta can’t decide to make city parks gun-free zones (though they have tried repeatedly). And Savannah can’t prosecute people who have guns stolen from their cars. But Savannah’s mayor and city council can’t seem to comprehend that simple fact.That’s why the Firearms Policy Coalition filed a lawsuit against the city, and that’s why they asked the judge for summary judgment,…
President Donald Trump said Iran will only be able to use funds released from frozen accounts to purchase food and medical supplies from the U.S., seeking to ease concerns about peace negotiations that both sides say are making progress. The billions of dollars of unlocked financing will go “into escrow, controlled by the U.S.A.” and will be used for the purchase of U.S.-grown products such as corn, wheat and soybeans, Trump said in a post on Truth Social on Tuesday. He added that Iran had agreed to “highest level Nuclear inspections long into the future” in the parallel negotiation over…

When things go wrong at 2 a.m., hearing protection is likely the last thing on your mind. You’re not reaching for earmuffs. You’re reaching for your firearm. That’s exactly why a suppressor on your home defense pistol or carbine makes more practical sense than most people realize. And in 2026, with the $200 NFA tax stamp eliminated, there has never been a better time to take the idea seriously. Why 9mm Makes Sense The 9mm cartridge is the most common handgun round in the world, and it’s also one of the most suppressor-friendly. Why? Because 147-grain subsonic loads are widely…
As a percentage of the total land area, the federal government owns more land in Nevada than anywhere else. Government agencies own about 81% of the state’s 70 million acres. Soon, however, that may begin to change. Senator Catherine Cortez Masto (D-Nev.) recently introduced a bill that would transfer over 10,000 acres of land from federal to local control. The measure has received criticism from some outdoor recreationists and support from public lands groups. The Bill: Douglas County Economic Development and Conservation Act Cortez Masto introduced the Douglas County Economic Development and Conservation Act to the Senate in March. The…
I’d never really heard anything about Nick Shirley before he uncovered the massive amounts of fraud among primarily Somali-owned day cares in Minnesota. Billions of taxpayer dollars were not just stolen, but at least some of it found its way into the bank accounts of terrorist organizations. The fraud was staggering to many Americans, who had just started to recover from all the insanity funded by USAID. While that dominated the news cycle for quite a while, at least in conservative media, Shirley didn’t rest on his laurels. He turned his attention to California, where…
I have been running the standard Smith & Wesson Bodyguard 2.0 as my deep-concealment carry gun for a good stretch now. Out of the last couple of years, it has hands down been my new favorite concealed carry piece in my current rotation. It disappears under a t-shirt better than just about anything else in my collection. When Gideon Optics released the Pebble reflex sight built around this exact pistol, I decided it was time to see if a dot could make the little .380 more than a last-ditch contact distance weapon. The S&W Bodyguard 2.0 The Bodyguard 2.0 itself needs…
Since Donald Trump took office in 2024, public lands and the agencies that support them have been the target of federal budget cuts, layoffs, and hiring freezes. Despite U.S. National Forests and Bureau of Land Management (BLM) land generating massive economic output and providing millions of American jobs, funding for these agencies and others continues to shrink. Visitor experiences are being affected as a result. That’s why onX, All Trails, Patagonia, and 74 other outdoor brands and organizations signed a letter imploring Congress to fully fund the U.S. Forest Service (USFS) and BLM for 2027. The recreation resources these agencies…
Earlier today I covered why one Supreme Court-watcher is optimistic about the justices taking up bans on so-called assault weapons and large capacity magazines next term, but those aren’t the only 2A issues that will be discussed in tomorrow’s conference. There are two cases making their first appearance in the justice’s closed door meeting that could be granted cert (or denied) as early as next Monday, and both are worth taking up… and talking about. The first case is U.S. v. Peterson; a challenge to the National Firearms Act’s restrictions on suppressors. Specifically, the attorneys…
This article was originally published by Edison Reed at Natural News. Introduction Artificial intelligence is no longer a distant concept – it is rapidly becoming one of the most powerful and disruptive forces shaping the future of humanity, according to a recent report. Tech billionaire Elon Musk has issued a stark warning, describing AI as “a supersonic tsunami headed toward humanity.” [1] His concerns are echoed across the tech industry, with leaders predicting massive shifts in how people work, live, and think. International Monetary Fund chief Kristalina Georgieva has warned that AI is hitting the global labor market “like a tsunami,”…
The fact that Ford sells an F-350 Super Duty with the Tremor off-roading package makes very little sense. And taking just about the biggest pickup truck for sale in America on a tough trail makes even less sense — especially on an F-350 that also features the King Ranch package and the enormous Godzilla V8 engine. Combined, the price tag for this F-350 just barely cracks into six figures, at $100,630 as tested. That figure might pale in comparison to a Raptor R or Ram TRX these days, in fairness. But the pricing and size make the Tremor package seem…
Gun Owners of America bills itself as a no-compromise gun rights organization, and they were a massive part of why we got what we got out of the One Big, Beautiful Bill concerning the Second Amendment. They weren’t alone, necessarily, but they fought hard, and we all saw it. Now, with the midterms coming up, a lot of gun rights supporters are wondering what happened to everything else we voted for. Yeah, we got a few wins from the White House, but we also got a couple of Ls from there, too. From Congress, we’ve…
