Long before YouTube explainers and emergency alert apps, Americans were taught how to survive nuclear war through government-produced films. (Yes, many view them today as propaganda—blending education with reassurance to maintain public morale amid escalating Cold War fears.) These weren’t fringe materials. They were shown in classrooms, community centers, factories, and living rooms. Millions of people—adults and children alike—were trained ...

The nuclear arms race began during World War II, with the United States and the U.S.S.R. competing for supremacy for decades after the war’s end. Eventually, several other countries joined in, creating nukes for their own protection from their enemies. However, no country could match the scale of nuclear development of the U.S. and the U.S.S.R. superpowers. Nuclear-armed battleships were ...

I remember when the original Benelli Nova was introduced way back around the year 2000. I’d been hunting ducks with Benelli’s Super Black Eagle since it was released about eight years earlier, and so I was a fan of the company in general, but I didn’t much care for its futuristic-looking polymer pump. One of my hunting buddies bought one, ...

We’re not just inching toward a cashless society—we’re sleepwalking into it. And for those of us who value independence, privacy, and real preparedness, that’s a damn problem. The push for Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs)—like the “digital euro” or the potential U.S. “digital dollar”—isn’t just about modernizing the economy. It’s about control. Governments want total visibility—and eventually control—over how, when, ...

A Timeline of Economic Failure and Food Chain Breakdowns Let’s stop pretending we’re untouchable. The idea that America can’t collapse is exactly why it will. Our economy is a debt-ridden joke, our food system is on life support, and half the country is either too distracted or too dependent to notice what’s coming. When things fall apart, it won’t be ...

Remember when prepping was a punchline? Preppers were the nutjobs with bunkers and bug-out bags. Cable news laughed. Twitter mocked. But when shelves went bare in 2020 and the system started buckling under its own weight, suddenly people who spent their lives depending on that system wanted to learn how to bake bread and store water. Now, the same people ...

There’s a quiet revolution happening across America—but you won’t hear about it on cable news or from anyone still clinging to the system. Young men are waking up. They’re looking at the price tag of college—$100,000 for a piece of paper—and realizing it’s a trap. They’re rejecting the lie that if you just stay in line, get the degree, and ...

The mainstream media has been buzzing with headlines about the sun “waking up.” NASA scientists say solar activity is ramping up again after decades of decline, sparking talk about solar storms, flares, and the risks they pose to our way of life. But here’s the truth: the sun has always cycled through active and quiet phases. What’s happening now isn’t ...

Let’s talk about boondocking, also known as dispersed camping or dry camping. If you’ve never heard of it, it’s basically camping without all the usual amenities you get at traditional campgrounds. Think of it as setting up camp in the middle of nowhere, often in some pretty remote or undeveloped areas. Boondocking is an awesome way to experience the great ...
