This video was originally posted by Fernando at The Modern Survivalist. It’s a great website that I recommend. Fernando is from Argentina and talks about living through the economic collapse that occurred in that country 10 years ago. He has a lot of very good survival information. He posted the video below, which shows […]
I recently finished John Mosby’s The Reluctant Partisan book. I read a lot of books in the field of survival, firearms, and tactics. I’m rarely impressed with most of the books I read. Not so with this one. The Reluctant Partisan gets a well-deserved five-star rating. Billed as “the prepared citizen’s answer to […]
Burglary is the crime of stealing something from an unoccupied home or business. It is one of the most common property crimes and occurs more than two million times a year in the United States. The book Burglars on the Job by Richard Wright is the definitive book about how burglars work. To […]

This is a short book (100 pages) that you can finish in less than an hour. Someone with extensive firearms training will not learn too much, but most of the tactics and techniques the author presents are very solid.

I like its primary focus on natural and man made disasters, which I believe will impact more people than the apocalyptic events that about which most authors write.
