Among the millions who suffered in Texas during the recent deep freeze, there were some rare individuals and families who persevered. These were people who kept calm, had already done some level of preparation, and didn't wait for others to solve their problems for them. One of these survivors is Mike Papa, who writes for The Federalist. Papa has endured many hurricanes in Texas, and applied the survival knowledge he gained from those rough encounters to keep his wife and children safe and comfortable during the deep freeze. Here's how he survived: Due to the storm, our family, which … [Read more...]
UPDATE: Your Gun Rights and Freedom Are Under Assault
UPDATE 2.23.21: You've read here recently that Montana and Utah have recognized their citizens' inalienable rights to self-defense, and passed laws protecting their rights to carry a firearm without a permit. Indiana could be the next state to join the "Freedom Corridor" by doing the same. The Indy Star reports (abridged): The Indiana House on Monday voted to eliminate the license to carry a handgun in Indiana. House Bill 1369 passed the House by a 65-31 vote and now heads to the Senate, where its already picked up key endorsements. Under the legislation, sometimes called … [Read more...]

Long Live Rush Limbaugh: Our Walk in the Woods
Do you have a favorite memory of Rush Limbaugh? Mine is from back in 2012 when another Republican candidate lost. Tears of joy they were not. But, as Rush was so great at explaining, life goes on with or without you or your guy in the White House. Let’s have some fun with this. But this Republican loss was a tough one—the party was lost in the woods. And how would we survive another four years? We made it through the first four, but what were Americans thinking? Like Big Foot, has anyone actually met someone who voted for Obama twice? I needed a break. And so we headed up to our cabin in New … [Read more...]
“The Bachelor” & More False and Exaggerated Claims
OK, Your Survival Guy watches “The Bachelor” (don’t tell anyone). If you’re not up to speed, here’s a quick update. The show’s host, Chris Harrison, is under attack for defending a front runner that the “woke” crowd are trying to cancel. Harrison is asking for a little grace and not to ruin this girl’s life with attacks. And for that, Harrison’s basically been suspended from the show and forced to apologize to hopefully get his job back. Your Survival Guy boycotted the show this week (don’t spoil it for me) and will continue to do so until cooler minds prevail—fat chance. It was the one … [Read more...]
Action Needed! Rhode Island Gun Owners are Under Attack
The following letter to the editor is in The Newport Daily News: Gun law proposals are restrictive You may not think the upcoming debate in the Rhode Island Statehouse over more restrictive firearms laws affects you. But it does. Gun control zealots are introducing a long list of bills that will severely limit your ability to protect yourself and your family in these unsettled times. This past year has seen a huge increase in violent crimes committed by individuals and extremist organizations, both left and right. The newly empowered progressive left wants to cut the size of police … [Read more...]
Update: H.R. 127 Hostile to Law Abiding Gun Owners
“H.R. 127 is so outrageous, persecutory, and unworkable that its main function is simply to display the hostility of its author and supporters toward firearms, those who own them, and those who want to own them,” explains the NRA Institute for Legislative Action and continues (abridged): • H.R. 127 would ban common types of ammunition, including every shotgun shell larger than .410. - The bill states: “It shall be unlawful for any person to possess ammunition that is 0.50 caliber or greater.” - Violations of this ban would result in the imposition of a fine of at least $50,000 and … [Read more...]
Warning! Your Survival Guy’s on a Boil Water Advisory
Aren’t you glad you’re not me? Your Survival Guy’s in a boil water advisory. It’s not great. I’ll let you decide how a boil water advisory might run through your family. I’ll just say I live with teenagers and leave it at that. But there’s a silver lining here (and later on in this piece) so stick around and read on. Yesterday, while Your Survival Guy (YSG) was on the phone (I forget if it was with you) I got a text from home “no water pressure.” Now this isn’t something YSG can solve from his desk. But, rest assured, the despair felt by the rest of my family was going to be felt by me come … [Read more...]
Tucker Carlson: Big Tech Censors COVID-19 Vaccine Dissent
Getting the Covid vaccine is a personal health decision. If you have questions about it you should be able to get some straight answers, don’t you think? But that’s not what’s happening. Tucker Carlson explains (abridged): Anyone who tells you the details of the ongoing Potemkin impeachment trial are important is probably trying to distract you from something that actually is, like our ongoing COVID pandemic. After months of hearing that life could never return to normal until we get a vaccine, we got a vaccine (two, actually), but life did not return to normal. In fact, life got worse. We … [Read more...]
The Election RESET of EPIC Proportions is UnMasked
Once you dig through the arrogance, you begin to see exactly what’s happening in the Great Reset. It was right in front of our eyes as the election rules were changed by the so-called "woke," to cancel votes. And they say with a straight face the only way to deal with opposing views is the cancel them. You know, just delete what they say—Jack Dorsey and Mark Zuckerberg style. A recent article in TIME, by Molly Ball gives away perhaps more of the strategy the woke left used to game the election than they would have liked. One stunning revelation in the piece was just how much control … [Read more...]
