Preppers: the normies never listen to us when we try to educate them about disaster planning! Also preppers: gravity is gonna totally disappear for a few seconds this month. Might want to buy some duct tape to keep from floating away. This is why we can't have nice things.
It looks like Amazon now has Common-Sense Everyday Carry releasing on August 18th. If you'd like it sooner, head over to the Gun Digest Store and order it there. They have it in stock and ready to ship now. www.gundigeststore.com/product/comm...

Here are all of my books that are currently available, with one exception. I don’t have a copy of Prepper’s Communication Handbook. #prepper #preppers #prepping #preparedness #survival #prepperlibrary #prepperbooks #jimcobb #ulyssespress
For those seeking a basic foundation of prepping knowledge, these are the books I recommend. They each add something unique to the equation. These should all be readily available through the bookseller of your choice.
Walking outside kinda reminds me of riding in the backseat of my mom's car as she hotboxed us chain smoking Camels.
This is yet another reason why financial preparedness absolutely needs to be factored into your overall prep plan. There is no stress like money stress, and it impacts every aspect of your life until it's resolved.
In today's episode of useless crap I don't need but was too cool for me to pass up. It lights up when you press it, too, which is pretty nifty.
Backwoods Survival Guide 38 should be hitting stores now. Find it anywhere magazines are sold!
These are books I consider to be fundamental when it comes to prepping. They each bring something unique to the table. Combined, they form an excellent foundation for preparedness.
Backwoods Survival Guide 38 will be released in 2 weeks. Just a few of the highlights in this one: --Growing blueberries --A simple DIY survival kit --Wild medicinals --Planning your garden by the seasons --Water disinfection
Our Frugal Living special is in stores now! Lots of real world tips and tricks on saving money without sacrificing every little bit of joy in your life.
If you didn't know that One Piece is a Japanese manga property, this LEGO headline could be very confusing.
One of the various EDC tool kits I've built over the years. This one is probably the largest I've put together.
Preppers sometimes wonder why the normies think they’re nuts. Here’s Exhibit A. This is why we can’t have nice things.
Had a great meeting with @daciamarnold.bsky.social and @briankeene.bsky.social today. Here's what I can tell you so far. We're definitely getting the band back together for a limited engagement. Figure probably sometime in May is when you'll see new content. Get excited.
Kershaw is a great brand. I own a ton of their knives, especially from their Launch series.

Finishing up my review of the Hill People Gear Commuter. I'm really digging this pack!
This is why we can't have nice things. It's also one of the reasons why so many people still give preppers the side-eye. For the record, this is a terrible idea.
Family photo, minus one title (Prepper's Communication Handbook) that I don't appear to have on my shelves. This includes 1st and 2nd editions of the three books we've revised in the last few years.
