Survival Shows I Do Like

Last week I tore into why I don’t like the show doomsday preppers. Maybe I’m wrong but the episodes I watched has no redeeming qualities, hidden nuggets of Survival wisdom.  Only scared crazy people giving all preppers a bad name.  With that said I feel there are some shows out there over the years with varying amounts of solid advice.  Today I’m going to go over a few of my personal favorite shows.

Top 3 Reasons Why I Don’t Like Doomsday Preppers

Doomsday Preppers

Years ago I watched the pilot episode of Doomsday Preppers, Up until recently, yesterday, I had not bothered to watch another episode. I got to thinking that maybe I was judging the show unfairly and decided to watch a few episodes and make an informed decision. I watched most of two episodes, most because I lost interest in one and saw too much crazy on the other one. I’ll break down what I don’t like about the show and why it’s bad for us as a community.

All about Tiny Houses

For the past few years I have become more and more obsessed with alternative house building techniques. I know I want to own a home and land but without all the debt. I do not want nor need a McMansion, I do fine with living in tiny spaces. For a summer a few years back me and my buddy Mike built two 10×10 sheds and I lived in them. I was perfectly comfortable and had everything I needed. One of the most interesting alternative houses is the Tiny house. They are built using traditional hose techniques, framing etc just much smaller. One the inside they have been optimized for getting the maximum  usage out of the tiny space. Today I’m going to talk all about tiny homes and share my love of them with you.

M48 Tactical Tomahawk

M48 Kommando Tactical Tomahawk

A while back the folks at BudK sent me a M48 Kommando Tactical Tomahawk to review. This was a first for me having never really been a tomahawk, hatchet or ax guy. It was fun out testing it and I might have to give some more hatchets a try in the future. I had thought about being cheesy and shooting video of me destroying watermelons with it but decided not to. Maybe in the future. I did use it to do some practical functions and I’ll tell you how it did in those tests.

Patriot Nurse

The TSA Stole Patriot Nurse’s Gun

I’ve been a big fan of YouTube video maker The Patriot Nurse for a few years now. I like to think I organized the very first Patriot Nurse class which was very good. Now here classes are way more comprehensive and I would love to take the new course. Yesterday I saw on Facebook that while flying recently her gun was stolen from her luggage. She is trying to draw attention to the incident in an effort to help get her weapon back. In the video she goes over the steps the had to take in the process of reporting it, which are full of red tape B.S.
