Podcast: Play in new window | DownloadOn September 1, 1859, auroras lit up the night sky. Telegraph lines sparked. Operators were shocked at their keys. The world had just experienced the Carrington Event—the most powerful solar storm ever recorded. If that same storm happened today, we wouldn’t be talking about fried telegraphs. We’d face the potential loss of the power grid and nearly every aspect of modern life that depends on electricity. That’s why, on this Carrington anniversary and the kickoff of National Preparedness Month, I’m re-releasing my conversation with NASA engineer and EMP expert Dr. Arthur Bradley. Dr. Bradley…
Once upon a time, alcohol was banned in this country. It didn’t stop people from drinking it, but it was considered so bad for people that a constitutional amendment was ratified to ban booze.

One response stood out: “Having a plan for when things actually HTF. Being prepared is one thing. Planning the steps to start with is another thing.” That’s a good question because while many people focus on the obvious aspects of preparedness, such as gathering supplies, they haven’t thought through the steps they’d actually take if the wheels fall off. Ask anyone who has worked/lived in some sort of…

Stay Positive Prepping should not be solely about fearing the worst—it should be about equipping yourself for whatever comes your way. Stay curious, continue learning new skills,…
2025 was a rough year for some national parks: Raging wildfires and intense flooding shut down several parks, and, unfortunately, some of those parks show no signs of reopening anytime soon. If you had your heart set on completing the Rim to Rim Trail in the Grand Canyon or camping in Big Bend this year, odds are that your plans will have to wait. Worry not, though: There are plenty of national forests, state parks, and other outdoor sites that will fulfill those same fantasies. Here’s what’s likely to be shut down or disrupted in 2026, and where you should…
For thirty years, Kentucky has been a “shall issue” state when it comes to concealed carry licenses, and since 2019 permitless carry has also been allowed for those who can legally possess a firearm… or at least most of them. Current state law prohibits adults under the age of 21 from carrying a concealed firearm, with or without a valid carry permit. The law could soon change, though, and for the better. On Friday the state Senate gave its stamp of approval to HB 312, which would create a new provisional carry license for 18-to-20-year olds. 🚨The…
