Podcast: Play in new window | DownloadTalking about civil war preparedness isn’t something I enjoy. However, with tensions as high as they are—and nearly half the country believing it’s likely—it’s something we need to consider. A 2024 Marist poll found that 47% of Americans believe a second civil war could happen in their lifetime. When you consider the political anger, the cultural divide, and the daily signs of growing hostility, it’s not hard to see why. Add to that the foreign governments and domestic agitators who benefit from keeping us angry and divided. Then factor in how fast information—true or…

Native American veterans who want to buy, build, or improve a home on federal trust land have access to a unique benefit: the Native American Direct Loan (NADL) program. It offers eligible military families a path to homeownership that’s specifically designed for buying homes on tribal land, where traditional mortgage financing has historically been out of reach. Since Congress established the program in 1992 under Public Law 102-547, the VA has signed Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs) with 118 tribal governments, and the program continues to expand. In February 2026, the VA signed an MOU with the Squaxin Island Tribe in…

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…

Podcast: Play in new window | DownloadWhat throws most preppers off course isn’t a lack of commitment—it’s friction. Life piles on. Focus fades. And sometimes, without realizing it, you’re slogging through life reacting to it, instead of being as effective as you know you can. Prepping is a process, and like any process, it can drift. Over time, life happens, priorities shift, and we need a mental tune-up. The danger isn’t always external—it often comes from inside the system: our mindset, decisions, and day-to-day actions. The good news? If you can spot the drift early, you can fix it. Here…

With the details of the signed Memorandum of Understanding still unclear, it does appear, for all intents and purposes, that the United States has lost the war with Iran. That means Pete Hegseth, the first Secretary of War, has lost a war. As if the US couldn’t look more foolish, the MoU gives the US nothing it wanted when it comes to the military objectives it was pursuing in Iran. The only big “accomplishment” is that Iran will reopen the Strait of Hormuz, but not “toll-free” as US President Donald Trump claimed. But the vital waterway was open before the…

If you ask me (and I imagine other women), there is no greater hell than trying to buy pants. Every pair of pants fits differently, and sizes can be wildly inconsistent across brands. Now add the dimension of trying to find functional, durable pants that can perform in the outdoors. Oftentimes, it feels like I have a better shot at finding the Holy Grail than I do a pair of comfortable, high-quality hiking/climbing pants. After years of trying countless pairs of pants, I can say with confidence I’ve finally found my Holy Grail: the prAna Halle Pants ($98). These pants…

With the Supreme Court unanimously ruling that Ali Danial Hemani’s Second Amendment rights were violated when he was arrested and prosecuted for possessing a firearm while “regularly” using marijuana, does this mean that every pot smoker or drug user is now free and clear to exercise their Second Amendment rights without fear of criminal charges?  Nope. The Court was clear that this was a narrow decision, and did not strike down Section 922(g)(3) in its entirety. In fact, it left the door wide open for federal prosecutions (and arrests) to continue, so long as the…

NBA star James Harden was reportedly arrested early Saturday morning in Houston on a misdemeanor weapons charge after police allegedly observed a handgun inside his vehicle during a traffic stop, according to reporting from KTLA. The 36-year-old former MVP was later released on a $100 bond and is scheduled to appear in court on June 22. At first glance, it may sound like a straightforward gun case. Then you start reading the details. According to multiple reports cited by KTLA, the handgun was allegedly in plain view inside Harden’s vehicle and was not being carried in a holster. That’s where…

Final Fantasy 7 Revelation is poised to be a hum-dinger of a game when it launches next year. That’s because, regardless of how it actually lands with audiences and critics, Final Fantasy 7 Revelation will be a AAA powerhouse, if the glitzy, expensive Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is any indication of its scale and scope. Revelation is also likely to land with a bang for another, more emotional reason: it’s the conclusion of the Final Fantasy 7 remake saga, which kicked off more than six years ago with Final Fantasy 7 Remake. As such, it’s going to reveal the many…

Podcast: Play in new window | DownloadIf you’ve spent any time in the prepping world, you’ve thought long and hard about the X. The event. The disaster. The fight. The day it all goes sideways. You’ve worked on plans to get through it—the food, the water, the gear, the skills. Good. That’s the work. But here’s the question almost nobody preps for: what happens to your mind after you make it through?
