VIDEO: Man Walks into Walmart – Never Walks Out – Because Cop Sneaks Up & Kills Him without Warning
Just a few weeks ago we reported on the unwarranted police killing of John Crawford III. Crawford was shot while casually strolling through a Walmart and holding an unpackaged Crossman .177 BB gun that he picked up off a shelf in the store. It was a tragic and unnecessary killing. But the details that have been uncovered since the incident are even more disturbing. Apparently, there are conflicting stories about what Crawford was doing in the Walmart while holding the toy gun. But first, it may be helpful to see what the surveillance video shows. As you can see, Crawford is calmly walking through the…

Review: Your Family Survival Plan
If you remember, a few days ago, I wrote a review of Bulletproof Home Defense, which is about how-to defend your home and retreat, against looters, hungry mobs or other attackers. And since readers seemed to really appreciate and find that review helpful, I decided to write a short review of another similar program – Your Family Survival Plan. This is another one of those products that we’ve all seen advertised on most of the prepper type blog via banner ads in the sidebars, and you probably, just skipped over it without even giving it a second thought. I’ve as guilty as you are for doing this, but recently, I’ve been …
Why Now Is the Time to Get Your Ham License
Most preppers get the idea that communication is an important capability to have during an emergency. Despite this understanding though, few preppers have a solid communication plan in place beyond a few two-way walkie-talkie devices and the false hope that their cellphone will still function. If that describes you (like it did me a few years ago), this article should hopefully open your eyes and inspire you to change that. The Dangers of a Communication Blackout are Very Real We take our ability to instantly communicate with others around the nation and the globe for granted. In reality though, the methods we depend on to communicate — internet and cellphone primarily — are extremely fragile. One common theme you…
Fast Track Tip #11: Be Informed With NOAA Weather Radio
Severe weather occurs far more frequently than most folks realize. As a matter of fact, it is a severe weather event that prompts many folks to begin their preparedness journey. In the United States, the five most dangerous weather events are tornadoes, hurricanes, lightning, floods and winter storms. Each of these weather events can leave you without power, and without access to food, clean water and supplies to make it through the days and sometimes weeks until things return to normal. Although nothing can be done to stop the force of nature, you can stay informed and in touch with current weather conditions. Today Backdoor Survival Contributing Author Rob Hanus is back with us to …

4 Ways to Waterproof Your Phone
Summer may be a quickly fading memory, but that doesn’t mean that your brand new iPhone is safe from a life-threatening water encounter. From bath time with small children to beer pong at the hottest weekend party, the danger of submersion is everywhere. Not only are phones a convenient distraction from the humdrum of the 8 to 5 workday, but they also act as a memory keeper, camera, personal assistant, notepad, calendar and connection to the social scene. It also can be a life saver in an emergency. When it’s pouring rain and you have just blown a tire, for instance, you don’t want to worry about your phone falling into a puddle …
Archive: Forget Doom and Gloom: Preparedness is the Ultimate Act of Optimism
Note from Daisy: With all of the hullabaloo about Ebola lately, it seems like a good time to remind ourselves of why we prepare. We don’t do it out of fear. We do it because we like the peace of mind it brings. When we are ready for anything from a job loss to a power outage to an outright apocalypse, we know that we can handle whatever life sends our way. A preparedness lifestyle is a constant affirmation that we will persevere. Does this sound familiar? You’re talking to a friend or family member who isn’t on board with preparedness. (And it’s even worse…

Our Friends at the NSA
Have you ever thought about the capabilities of the NSA and their ability to spy on US citizens? Many people do not have the experience to comprehend the potential ability of the world’s greatest spy agency. I am not an employee or contractor for the NSA and as such I do not have any direct knowledge of their capabilities. However, I have been in IT for well over 3 decades in varying capacities. That experience gives me the ability to provide some history of IT capabilities and to provide some scope for the size of the NSA. By Dave H, a reader of SHTFBlog & Survival Cache Moore’s Law For the IT savvy forgive me. For the rest of …
Self-Reliance Key to Surviving Yellowstone
IN NEW NOVEL, SELF-RELIANCE KEY TO SURVIVING YELLOWSTONE CALDERA SUPER-ERUPTION In the new apocalyptic novel, Yellowstone, New Hampshire-based author K.R.Nilsen creates a cooperative, self-contained, and highly self-sufficient community by the name of Independency, Minnesota.

The ebook, now available on Amazon.com (free chapters to peruse and free lending service), opens with the buildup of geological forces within the 1,500 mile volcanic …

I appreciate you stopping by and visiting here on ModernSurvivalOnline.com. Took the family to my brothers place in Georgia for the weekend.

A few are previews of things to come:
FAT GUYS IN THE WOODS: BLOG SKILL SERIES: Live Capture Box trap
Many of you have asked for more details about the Live Capture Box trap that Bill, Dave, Andrew and I used to catch the Quail. To my knowledge, this is a trap style that originates in Asia but versions of it exist all over the world. It’s very unique in that it can be constructed from all natural materials. Below I detail the trap design as well as the trigger I normally pair with it. It all starts with 2 pieces of cordage and 2 sticks… A length of cordage is tied between the ends of two sticks. When tied, the length of rope should be a little longer (6 or so inches) than the sticks. The shape at this point should …

Release Day for Liberators! My latest novel Liberators: A Novel of the Coming Global Collapse was released today (Tuesday, October 21, 2014) by E.P. Dutton. I hope that you’ll enjoy reading it. It is the longest book in the Patriots novel series, and it ties together many characters from the previous installments. This novel describes both a harrowing and lengthy cross-country journey from the DC Beltway to Idaho, as well as many adventures in western Canada, as the nation suffers two waves of foreign invasion. This novel has an emphasis on intelligence analysis and resistance warfare tactics. In addition to the hardcover edition, there is also an e-book …
The Logo Contest Is Officially Over
The new logo/banner has been up for a couple of weeks now and I’ve received some favorable emails and comments about it. There were quite a few good entries and it was a tough decision, but eventually I narrowed it down to three and then finally the winner, which you see along the top of the site. Above is the banner and here’s what I’ll use as the logo: The winner’s name is Kyle and prefers to remain anonymous, but my man, thank you for a great logo and banner! I’ll be sending the GPS unit out shortly and I hope you like it as much as I like the new look. In case you…
Can Your Food Storage Keep You Alive During a Doomsday?
There has been a lot of talk about of the world ending recently due to the Mayan calendar. The calendar was suppose to abruptly on December, 21st, 2012. Since we all clearly saw nothing happened and we are all living today, there was no doomsday. However, since some people did believe that this was going to happen, some people were smart and stocked up on emergency supplies which honestly is not a bad idea. With the economy collapsing, war raging out of control, diseases spreading, and stronger hurricanes, earthquakes, blizzards, and other storms, becoming a prepper isn’t such a bad idea. A prepper is a person who stores a large amount of food and water inside their home. …
Breaking Down the Matrix of the New World Order
From Survival and BeyondBy Ed Corcoran The more you start looking into the things that are going on in the world and the less you pay attention to the corporate-controlled “mainstream” media, the more it becomes obvious that there is a movement taking place that’s pushing us towards a global government and the ultimate loss of our individual freedoms, liberties and quality of life. The systems and mechanisms that have been directing the course of our economy, government and society in America are various and sundry, with many seemingly disparate and unrelated branches and platforms. Due to gradual and continuous conditioning and indoctrination, these control mechanisms have not only managed…

Bread and Circuits
THE big financial story is all the hype and circumstance surrounding the Consumer Electronics Show which opens today in Lost Wages. As you would expect, there’s excellent coverage in places like PC World where a lot of the focus is on 4K TV’s – which are the big screens with about four times as many pixels as the usual 1080p rigs. As you would also expect, the stock market should rally a bit on this, after all, what’s not to love about selling the public more crap, which drives up sales of all kinds of things. But what’s NOT getting a lot of headspace in the media frenzy, is the role of open source in all this. Had an…

Notes from JWR:
I was shocked to hear that Keith Ratliff, the manager of the video blog FPS Russia was recently found murdered in Carnesville, Georgia. His relatives sound dubious about the reported details. You’ve probably seen some of the very popular YouTube videos featuring Keith’s buddy Kyle Myers demonstrating various exotic weapons. (In the videos, Kyle mimics a Russian accent and uses the stage name Dmitri Potapoff.) FPS Russia is reportedly the third most popular video channel on YouTube. His death comes as very strange news. If it was indeed a robbery (as some claim), then why were so many guns found in the…
Large Cities All Over America Are Degenerating Into Gang-Infested War Zones
Large U.S. cities that the rest of the world used to look at in envy are now being transformed into gang-infested hellholes with skyrocketing crime rates. Cities such as Chicago, Detroit, Camden, East St. Louis, New Orleans and Oakland were once bustling with economic activity, but as industry has fled those communities poverty has exploded and so has criminal activity. Meanwhile, financial problems have caused all of those cities to significantly reduce their police forces. Sadly, this same pattern is being repeated in hundreds of communities all over the nation. The mainstream media loves to focus on mass shooters such as Adam Lanza, but the reality is that gang violence is a far greater problem in the United States than mass shooters ever will be…
