UPGRADE! B-2 Bomber Could Get MAJOR New EMP Hardware

February 26, 2021 By Steve Schneider

As the U.S. military becomes ever more reliant on the latest technology, the threat of a crippling attack by an EMP weapon grows. As Dr. Lowell Wood writes, "EMP is much more threatening to modern electronics than to old-fashioned ones." Older larger components are extremely rugged and more tolerant to EMP interference, but as tinier transistors make their way into military electronics, so does an inherent vulnerability. Moore's Law, which states that leading-edge integrated-circuit electronics shrink in an area by two-fold every year-and-a-half, only assures that this vulnerability will … [Read more...]

Key Figures in U.S. Airstrike that Killed Soleimani

February 8, 2021 By Steve Schneider

UPDATE: Reports are surfacing that the Hellfire’s big brother, the JAGM was used in the Soleimani strike. - Steve Schneider The key figures in the January 3 U.S. airstrike that killed Qassem Soleimani have been identified, most notably Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, deputy commander of Iraq's Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) and commander of Kataeb Hezbollah. Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis was listed as a terrorist in the United Arab Emirates and the United States. Some security experts are divided on whether Muhandis was specifically targeted or if he was a bonus kill. Iranian and Iraqi officials have … [Read more...]

Terrorists, Meet Hellfire’s Big Brother

February 8, 2021 By Steve Schneider

UPDATE: Missile fragments from scene of the Qasem Soleimani strike suggests he was killed by the U.S.’s new Joint Air-to-Ground Missile (JAGM). The Director, Operational Test and Evaluation (DOT&E) 2020 Annual Report states that the JAGM has “successfully completed 87 test shots, which included safety of flight, developmental, integration, and operational testing against a variety of targets. JAGM has successfully engaged and disabled heavy and light armor, structures, personnel in the open, maritime targets, and classified counterinsurgency targets such as truck and motorcycles.” The JAGM … [Read more...]

Utah Moves Toward Permitless Concealed Carry

January 29, 2021 By E.J. Smith - Your Survival Guy

UPDATE: Utah Gov. Spencer Cox signed HB 60 into law on February 12. Folks in Utah could soon be allowed to carry a concealed firearm without a permit. Utahans can already open carry a firearm without a license, but could be permitted by a proposed law to cover that firearm with their clothing. This makes sense for Utah, and can help protect them from violent crime. Katie McKellar of the Deseret News reports: “This bill allows law-abiding citizens to be able to carry their weapons to protect themselves,” Brooks said. “Legal and law-abiding citizens do just that. They’re careful, and … [Read more...]

Your Personal Safety: Concealed-Carry How to Carry Your Freedom

January 22, 2021 By E.J. Smith - Your Survival Guy

A number of years ago now, when I took an all-day concealed-carry course at Sig Sauer Academy in Epping, NH, our instructor began the class by asking, “Should you conceal carry?” We were quiet as he scanned the class. Then, a few hands went up. “Yes, especially with how crazy things are where I live,” began one older gentleman. "My dog was shot last month by some kid. That’s why I’m here.” “Yes," responded another woman there by herself. "I’ve been around law enforcement administratively long enough now where too many bad guys know my face,” she said. “All good reasons,” said the … [Read more...]

Every Family Should Own at Least One Shotgun: Here Are Three

January 13, 2021 By E.J. Smith - Your Survival Guy

UPDATE 1.13.21: With Democrats looking for every way possible to impede your ownership of sporting rifles and their ammunition, a home defense shotgun is becoming an even more important piece of your self-defense plan. Here are three options for home defense shotguns you can test for your family. Originally posted November 25, 2020. Every family should own at least one shotgun for home defense. A home defense shotgun should possess specific qualities, including: Easy to use Rugged and reliable Easy-to-find replacement parts/accessories Easy: You want a gun that’s easy to … [Read more...]

Buying Time When You Need to Flee

November 24, 2020 By E.J. Smith - Your Survival Guy

For a little over ten bucks, I bought some life insurance in the form of pepper gel at my favored Walmart.com. Having heard about the potential blowback into your own face using pepper spray, I decided to arm my family with gel. The idea of using peppery gel or pepper spray is not for self-defense, but to buy you time when you need to flee. You know the importance of this election. You know Americans are on edge. Action Line: You need to give you and your family an edge whenever and wherever possible. This is a cheap way to do it. I’ll have more ideas just like this next week. … [Read more...]

#1 Reason Why Your Survival Guy Owns an AR-10

October 22, 2020 By E.J. Smith - Your Survival Guy

Your Survival Guy filled out paperwork last night for an ArmaLite AR-10. For those of you wondering why, I did it for three reasons. For one, I have a friend who owns a ranch in Texas—an expanse as far as the eye can see. He owns an AR-10. Your Survival guy was intrigued. Second, I see it as a complement to my AR-15. The caliber ammo for an AR-10 is .308. An AR-15 .223. Unless you’ve been living in Joe Biden’s basement the last few months, you know ammo is as rare as hens’ teeth—and expensive. A little diversification never hurt no one. Your Survival Guy also hung around the gun club last … [Read more...]

Sheep Get Killed: How to Be a Wolf

October 14, 2020 By E.J. Smith - Your Survival Guy

Originally posted March 5, 2013. Your voice could save your life. Using it effectively is the single most important defensive tactic I learned in my latest self-defense and survival training course. Over the eight-hour course “Introduction to Defensive Shooting,” the third installment in a four-part shooting development series at Sig Sauer Academy in Epping, New Hampshire, there’s a lot of screaming. On the way home, my friend and I, voices shot, were rasping about how much information was thrown at us. As our academy director and instructor, Adam Painchaud, warned us in the morning, … [Read more...]

Production of Israel’s Iron Dome Weapon System Coming to U.S.

August 7, 2020 By Steve Schneider

Raytheon and RAFAEL Advanced Defense Systems are teaming up to produce the Iron Dome Weapon System in the U.S. This will be the first Iron Dome production facility outside of Israel and will expand availability to the U.S. and its allies. Iron Dome is a mobile all-weather short-range air defense system with a success rate exceeding 90 percent. Each battery can defend up to 60 square miles, determining if an incoming threat will land in populated areas or uninhabited areas to minimize unnecessary countermeasures, effectively lowering its operating cost.
