When I did the "Truth About Get-Home Bags" show, there was a great response from YouTube comments disagreeing with me. I love getting feedback from all of you out there who are either watching us on the stream on one of the social media channels or YouTube or Facebook or whatever, or listening to our podcast and giving us feedback on the information that we're sharing here. And even more like gett...

Why is most of the “conventional wisdom” WRONG when it comes to surviving a total collapse? Because it mostly boils down to “buy more gear.” And all the gear in the world isn’t enough if you’re making the “conventiona/ wisdom” of survival. Ultimately, your ability to survive a collapse scenario won’t come down to a gadget from an online “guru”… …it’s about core characteristics inside you. You have...

We all know that a trip to the gun range can be a fun exhilarating excellent opportunity to practice your shooting skills. But let's be real shooting at a range is nothing like being in a real-life gunfight where those stakes are going to be much higher for you and the conditions are going to be unpredictable. Most likely the attack's going to happen in low light environments and forcing you to sh...

This episode gives 10 truths about the AR-15 and why it's actually superior (and safer) than other firearms for defensive use. It also dispels some of the lies spread by media and the misinformed public on why banning the AR-15 would make us and our children "safer".

Personalities change after an SHTF event and there are only 4 ways you can go to survive in a world without rule of law. Your "SHTF personality" will dictate how you will be organized and how you plan for a collapse-level event.

He wasn’t born a warrior… In fact, when he joined the Marine Corps he was the archetypal “99 pounds soaking wet” weak, unathletic teenager. (He was even afraid of heights and water!) But Dual Survival’s Joe Teti crafted himself into a warrior who can survive and thrive anywhere – from the Arctic to the Sahara. And the one “survival tool” he says you need the most in order to survive ANY danger you...

Matt Numrich shares his story of how his contract with training government field agents how to defend themselves while on assignment led to his development of a unique "matrix" system for defeating the most common attacks using just a few key moves.

It's a life or death decision... and most people are choosing death! Look, I'm as much of a "gear junkie" as anyone... But you have to be smart about your gear... and being smart with your gear begins with being smart about your bag! It doesn't matter if you call it an E.D.C. bag, a get home bag, a go bag or a bugout bag... you have to get the right bag... because the wrong one can cost you your l...

Your friends will tell you you're crazy... They'll tell you it's IMPOSSIBLE... They'll DARE you to prove you're not just feeding them a line of B.S. And THEN... you break out your pistol and watch their jaws DROP as you nail a target as far as 100... 200... even 300 yards and BEYOND. YES... with a PISTOL! But this ISN'T just a fancy trick for bragging rights - it turns out there IS a defensive use...

The race is on... Every industrialized country on the planet is programming at a feverish pitch to push the limits of artificial intelligence (or A.I.). From self-driving cars to autonomous battlefield machines that can target and kill without human intervention, the future is wide open for this relatively new science. The question isn't whether we CAN or SHOULD continue down this path of “self-th...

It was just a routine evening jog for 36-year old Kelly Herron... that quickly turned into a nightmare.  During a bathroom break from her run she was assaulted by a much larger and stronger attacker. But here's the crazy thing that happened... She won! In fact, she subdued her attacker and held him for the police to arrive.  If she can fight off a larger, stronger attacker anyone can...  But most...

It’s no secret that our rights are being slowly eroded away… The ATF is coming for pistol braces… AR bans are openly discussed… red flag laws are passed from state to state… The threats to your Second Amendment rights are constant and increasing. But some reader comments on our blog got me thinking about the one person who's the BIGGEST risk to your right to own a firearm to protect yourself and y...

What’s the biggest threat to you and your family after social collapse? Lack of food? Not even close… Lack of water? Getting warmer… but there’s something even scarier waiting for you on the other side of TEOTWAWKI… You see, life after social collapse will have a LOT in common with a maximum security prison yard. In this week's episode, you'll discover first-hand lessons learned in the terrifying...

The electrical grid has been down for two months… Your neighbors are getting increasingly desperate… and you’ve seen things you can hardly believe… You’ve seen little children who look gaunt and starved like concentration camp prisoners… ...you’ve seen people harvesting tree bark and families eating their shoes to survive… ...you’ve seen ugly cruelties you didn’t think your neighbors were capable...

Think you're prepared for the stress of a real attack? You've probably heard of your body's "adrenal response" - the natural "fight, flight, or freeze" reaction we naturally go through when we sense danger. Freezing is going to happen... it's natural... but snapping out of it to engage your attacker with your firearm as quickly as possible is what will save your life. In this episode, my buddy, Mi...

A recent military study should be a big wakeup call for one of the BIGGEST mistakes I see over and over again when building out your bugout bag... and I have some fast ways you can transform your current gear from a "deadly fail" to a "streamlined success".

If you thought 2022 was a whirlwind of calamity - hold onto your hat my fellow Warrior... The world is only getting crazier and I predict that we're in for a real rollercoaster ride of increased threats to our way of life in 2023. The best way to prepare is to read the signs of what's to come and do whatever is needed to prepare now for what you and your family may see. And for me... there are 5 t...

"I bitched out!" I could hear the disappointment in my 20 y.o. son's voice as he shared with me how he dealt with an aggressive stranger confronting him at the local gas station. Although it's not the best terminology for submitting to the fear of being beat up and "standing down" - it's also not an uncommon feeling for those who have been face-to-face with someone who got the best of them. And tr...

I get asked this question a LOT... "If I'm new to shooting, what's the best handgun for me to buy?" Well actually, a question that came in last week for our Tacti-Cool Taco Tuesday livestream, from Emily of Illinois, took things to a whole new level as she qualified herself as having "smaller hands". This is a very common concern for both men and women who are of a smaller stature, or are older an...

My 11 year old YouTube video on "Why you should NOT punch your attacker in a real street fight" has gone viral AGAIN with over 1.5 million views in just the last month! Now I realize this bunched up a LOT of panties in the butt cracks of many a martial artist, boxer, and MMA fighter out there when I released it. In fact, to date, it has over 23,000 comments on the video - both FOR and AGAINST my r...

In a SHTF survival scenario, human predators may stalk and attack you when you least expect it. My drill sergeant taught me a valuable lesson about how to set up a personal "alarm system" to know when the enemy is near. Now I'm sharing his advice with you. These improvised alarm systems will give you early warning of an intruder in remote, wilderness settings as well as in urban survival scenarios...

Being involved in a self-defense shooting can be the most stressful experience that one can have... and how you react could have long-lasting effects. That's WHY we train with our firearms, right? To make SURE we're ready for that moment when we're called upon to protect ourselves and those we love. But the fight isn't over when the bad guy goes down... and one wrong move... one wrong word as you...

Following last week's rant on the disturbing stats of the poor fitness level of modern military recruits... ... it only seems fitting to help those of you with intentions of getting in better shape with some additional information on "how" and "what" you should be training. Ready for some more tough love? Good - because this week I brought in our new "excuse-buster extraordinaire", Dan John, to of...

It's just a fact...fat soldiers = dead soldiers! And a recent report from the Pentagon (as well as other resources we'll discuss) should be a huge wake-up call for the combat-readiness of our nation and the future generations who will protect us. But even more importantly to YOU... your own current level of health and physical fitness may be putting you and your family at risk. Do you have the gut...

Do you have your "doomsday duds" all picked out? Well wait one minute because after this info, I think you might want to go out shopping for some replacement items! I have 5 principles/biggest mistakes I see preppers make with their survival clothing based on my military experience, training and fighting in the harshest climates in the world!
