Every time someone posts an East Coast trail run in an overlanding group, there’s always a handful of comments implying it doesn’t really count. Like the terrain isn’t serious enough. Like you need red rock and canyon walls to legitimately call yourself an overlander. I’ve run trails in NJ, PA, WV, and TN. That dismissal […]

I was at a camping show last year and picked up a folding camp table. Solid aluminum, fold-flat legs, fit perfectly in a truck bed. The tag said $175. Two weeks later I saw the exact same table — same dimensions, same weight rating, same folding mechanism — at Walmart for $38. The only difference […]

My OVS HD Bushveld cost me over two grand. I’m not going to pretend that’s a practical camping decision. A solid ground tent and a set of sleeping pads does the same job for $200. I know this. I bought the RTT anyway. And I think it’s time we all stopped pretending that’s not partly […]

Overlanding the Nissan Frontier: The Most Overlooked Mid-Size Truck in the Game The mid-size truck conversation usually starts and ends with the Tacoma. I get it. The Tacoma has the reputation, the aftermarket, the resale value, and a fanbase that treats it like a religion. But spend five minutes looking at current Tacoma prices and […]

There’s a truck parked outside a coffee shop near me every Saturday morning. Full roof rack, sliders, 35s, a RTT that costs more than my first car. Immaculate. I mean showroom-floor immaculate. I’ve never once seen mud on those tires. I’m not here to roast the guy. I’m here to say out loud what everyone […]

The $35 GMRS license is one of the most underutilized prep investments you can make. Thirty-five dollars, no test, one application, covers your entire family for ten years. And it unlocks a communications capability that FRS walkie-talkies can’t touch. Most preppers know GMRS exists. Most of them haven’t done anything about it. That’s the gap […]

GMC Sierra AT4 vs Elevation vs SLT: Which Trim Actually Makes Sense for Overlanding? The Sierra trim lineup looks simple until you start pricing things out. AT4, Elevation, SLT — they’re all Sierra 1500s. Same cab options, same bed sizes, same engine choices. But they’re built for very different people, and picking the wrong one […]

Free Prepper Supplies: What You Can Source for Next to Nothing Most people think prepping costs a fortune. And sure, you can spend a fortune on it. New chest freezer, water filtration system, generator, freeze-dried food supply — that bill adds up fast. I have a mortgage, three kids in the house, and a wife, […]

January 2021. Morris Township, Pennsylvania. We’re about a mile and a half into a 2.5-mile descent, five of us, including my kids. Caiden had a trekking pole and was using it the way 11-year-olds do, which is to say loosely. He swung it wide on a step down and it stopped about eight inches from […]

How to Start a Fire in the Rain (What Actually Works) My son Caiden asked me once, maybe when he was nine, why we practice building fires when I already have a lighter. We were out at the cabin in North Central PA, nothing dramatic going on, just a drizzly Saturday morning where I was […]

Lone Star ticks are spreading north. Alpha-gal syndrome is exploding. The same billionaires and global organizations pushing lab-grown meat and insect protein have been buying up farmland for years. The mainstream calls it coincidence. Preppers are asking better questions.

Home Fortification for Preppers: Practical Home Hardening Without Going Off the Deep End The phrase “home fortification” makes people picture sandbags, steel doors, and a guy in a ghillie suit watching the driveway with a thermal scope. That’s not what this is. What I’m actually talking about is making your house harder to get into […]
