How much education is in the entertainment… Man Vs.?

by Leave a Comment

Man Vs. begins under the premise of that the star is a reality survival show guy. He is a somewhat charming happy-go-lucky upper-crust type with a sense of humor that reminds me of weak hot sauce. That he is a family man who is slightly annoyed by the responsibilities of being a status-quo modern conventional father and husband may seem unimportant at first, but I give credit to the storytellers in that this little detail, his ability to so easily shift from happy-go-lucky to angry at the slightest of annoyances… whew… is actually a very important survival trait to have.

The Basest Baddest Layer of EDC… Footwear!

by Leave a Comment

Your EDC (Every Day Carry) is what you carry on your body everywhere you go. Two things that immediately come to mind for most individuals are wallet (or purse) and keys, but think of your EDC as also including your clothes. And when people think of clothes they first think pants, as covering the private parts is required by law and necessary to most people’s normal mentality.

Kizlyar Supreme’s MOLLE Survival Kit SMP1

by Leave a Comment

A while back, I reviewed a high quality hollow handled survival knife… Kizlyar Supreme’s Survivalist X. In the video accompanying the article, I went into some depth concerning the MOLLE panel on the front of its sheath, which I added a 50? hank of paracord to. I have since replaced the paracord with Kizlyar Supreme’s MOLLE Survival Kit SMP1… it attaches to a belt or anything MOLLE-compatible.

Review (Video) of the Lightning Strike… “The World’s Best Fire Starter”

My fire making kit is composed of several very different items… from different tinders, to different ways to make sparks, and also to different ways to make flame. This is not only redundancy… two is one, one is none… but also overlap. Each item has a circumstantial strength, but also a circumstantial limitation compensated for by another item in the kit. As comprehensive and as complete my survival fire making kit is, I have long searched for an emergency fire making device that will produce flame in extreme circumstances quickly and easily… even if limited to using only one cold hand… and with respect to all the items in my fire making kit, I believe I have found a fire making device that just might be the “World’s Best Fire Starter”… a bold claim indeed!

The Importance of a Survival Group

by Leave a Comment

What Is A Survival Group? A survival group is a collection of aware and informed individuals who have come together in the anticipation that the day (or night) will come when going it alone is not the wisest option in terms of survivability. Why Form Or Join A Survival Group? We are social animals and there is safety in numbers. This is why we humans tend to look to others concerning those things that concern us… our survival depends on each other. We feel the need to trust in each others’ attitudes and beliefs because we all know there will be a time when loyalty will be tested. As well, we all feel the need to be able to have confidence in our own and other group members’ attitudes and skills.

Review (Video) of A Smart Way to Carry Keys… the KeySmart

by Leave a Comment

I have a lot of keys on my keyring, which always sit more or less uncomfortably in my pocket. My keys never seem to want to conform to the contours of my pocket, and every once in a frustrating while they get stuck amongst the entire keyring mess in ways I could swear only Harry Houdini could get them out of. I’m not Houdini and I always get them unstuck and sitting relatively comfortable… but this always takes time and patience that I would rather devote to something else in my already busy life. I recently found the answer to my problem.
