There have been many articles by myself and others on SurvivalBlog that discuss the use of mobile electronic devices such as radios, flashlights, cell phones, red dot sights, drones, cameras, etc. for emergency preparedness and disaster scenarios. The one thing all such devices have in common is that they require power of some sort, usually in the form of a battery, and without power those devices are about as useful as a paper weight (I guess you could use them as projectiles). Understanding how batteries work and how to best manage them can help ensure you get a long and…
On February 19, 2008, Fidel Castro finally stepped down as Cuba’s president. He was then 81 years old and had been in power for 49 years. His successor was his younger brother Raul, who was also a stiff-necked communist. He held power until 2021. The nation is still mired in communist bureaucracy and central planning. — And on February 19, 1910, Typhoid Mary (Mary Mallon) was freed from her first periods of forced isolation and went on to cause several further outbreaks of typhoid in the New York area. — SurvivalBlog Writing Contest Today we present another entry for Round…
Almost every outdoor activity has its own upper tier. A black belt level test that outdoorsfolk take up to challenge themselves in hopes of finding out how far they can push their passion.

For hunters, it can be pursuing a difficult species like Dall sheep or harvesting a trophy-sized specimen of their favorite species.Anglers try to master challenging fishing methods like Spey casting or pursue rare or difficult-to-catch species like permit. In fact, it seems like almost every outdoor pursuit has its own boss level, but there’s probably none…

Micro-compact 9 mm pistols are really popular right now, and have been popular for several years. Typically, they’re polymer-frame and striker-fired. In 2022, Smith & Wesson took a little bit of a different tack with that design concept with the original CSX. Well, now, Smith & Wesson has upgraded that platform with what it calls its E-Series. The E in that stands for “enhanced.” And there are definitely some enhancements here that we want to talk about. First off, what we’re looking at here on the table is a CSX that is sized pretty much like the original one. It…
Can you knock down a moose with a .22? The answer is “yes”—but it takes about 15 bullets. Just ask Shawn Tuffnell, of Stoughton, Saskatchewan.On January 22, Shawn was going about his morning after having spent the night at his mother’s house when he heard her screams coming from outside. Angie had ventured out to warm up her vehicle and encountered a moose tucked against the house’s dryer vent for reprieve from the numbing -40 wind chill.Shawn sprinted outside and found the moose standing overtop his screaming mother. From a picture on Facebook (warning: it’s graphic), the animal appears to…

Imagine that you were a weakling who kept his cash under his mattress, and you lived in a bad neighborhood that was dominated by the Mafia. Every year or two, Mafia thugs would come by and threaten to beat you to death, and demand: “Half for us and half for you.” That is a bit like what it is like to live in an era of mass inflation. But with inflation, the cash extractions are gradual, and almost invisible. No thugs. Just melting purchasing power. Perhaps I chose a poor analogy, but bear with me, while I explain: As a…
