Pioneer Preps: Improve Your Magnesium Bar
Since 1973, magnesium bar fire starters have been around. A simple, waterproof, arguably unbreakable, fire starter that can get hot enough to light wet tinder. The bar can produce many shavings to make quite a few fires. Here though, is possibly the only downfall to the magnesium bar: making the shavings. It takes awhile and one has to be very careful not to allow all the shavings they have scraped off to scatter to the wind. Can it be done? Of course, I myself have done this many times on my bug out adventures, but it did get me thinking on how one could improve upon the design. Hence I bring you the Improved Magnesium Bar.

5 Lessons From the Panic of 2012
From Survival and BeyondTEOTWAWKI  Blog The gun control madness has been frustrating for most of us, but I think there are some helpful observations we can extrapolate from the whole mess. This time around, we’re seeing panic buying of guns, magazines and ammunition. Now, extend that to the initial hours/days after a wide scale collapse scenario, when you have people running out and buying anything and everything under the sun. Food. Water. Batteries. Tools. Camping gear. Everything. Using the current panic buying environment as a case study, here are a few things you can expect to see: #1. Have what you need on hand: Pretty self explanatory.

Winter Survival Kit for Your Car
From Survival and BeyondBy Craig Caudill – Dan’s Depot Developing a Car Survival Kit focused on a winter time climate situation, has a more added focus on staying warm in a crisis situation.

Â Concern for safety in this situation can be compounded by continual heavy snows, and snow plows covering up your car. The other obvious concern, is breaking down or simply getting lost…
