Charlton Heston’s Amazing Gun Collection
I got an email today that had photos of a gun vault under the home of the late Charlton Heston. Is it any wonder this guy was the head of the NRA? What an amazing collection. It really makes you wonder what else he had going on in the way of “preps”!
Survivors, A New Book by James W. Rawles
As a huge fan of Patriots, I was pleased to see another work of fiction by James Wesley Rawless, “Surivors” was available for pre-order at Amazon. Based on the synopsis, the premise for this books sounds a lot like the background for “Patriots” but instead of revolving around a band of well organized “preppers” this [...]
Re-Tweet to Win a Free @TechPrepper Velcro Patch!
I just received an order of TechPrepper patches. They look pretty cool. If you would like one, I’ll be starting a twitter “retweet” promotion. For every retweet, I’ll follow up with a private message offering to mail one to you until I run out of patches. Even if you don’t want one I’d appreciate the [...]
Ham Radio: Understanding Circuit Schematics
It is continually surprising how much technical knowledge is required to pass the Amateur Radio License exam. No only must a person know the basics of signals, but they must also have the rudiments of electricity and circuit design. This seems overkill to me. For basic radio operation, surely such detail is not required. This [...]

The following is an account of a student in Argentina during their economic collapse (source: RapidTrends.com via @ShelfRelianceOH). This is the closest thing I’ve read to a “been there done that” guide to surviving TEOTWAWK (The End of the World As We Know It). Life in Post-Collapse Argentina, Oct. 2005 My brother visited Argentina a [...]
Learn to Fold a Mini Book for Your EDC
I was recently reading a great article posted by @SelfReliantInfo about establishing a family emergency communications plan and it reminded me of a useful technique I use to fold up a single piece of paper so that it can be used to store a ton of information in an extremely compact format. The format is [...]
Ham Radio Emergency Preparedness
As I continue to Study for the Amateur Radio License I am constantly finding more and more articles talking about the importance of communication during times of disaster and the unique role that Ham Radio plays during these scenarios. It is the only communication network that can operate in the absence of a centralized infrastructure [...]

Bugging-Out? Don’t forget your Repeater Directory
Unless you plan to truck around some serious communications equipment, power supply and antennas when you Bug Out, if you are like me, you’ll likely only be carrying a small portable handheld Amateur transceiver which rely heavily on repeaters for extended range. For your local area you’ll likely have pre-programed many repeater frequencies into your [...]
