Podcast: Play in new window | DownloadWhen things start to break down—whether it’s a slow grind or a sudden, shocking event—there are certain items that don’t just become valuable, they could become dangerous to have. Not because you shouldn’t have them, but because once others know you do, or if people (like the government) come looking, you’re no longer just someone who prepped.

As the military looks to get rid of “forever chemicals” in equipment and clothing, outerwear maker Gore hopes a lightweight jacket that uses a fleece lining, not a chemical coating, to block wind and weather will appeal to Army equipment testers.

The Banish 12 is the first truly new shotgun suppressor introduced in recent years, and it has a few things going for it. At just over a pound and 8.5 inches long, it’s lighter and more compact than the competition. That’s still quite a bit of extra length and weight to add to your shotgun, true.

A closer inspection of historical experience, economic reasoning, and the actual dynamics of research reveals that this assumption is false. Innovation has flourished without state patronage, and government support often politicizes science, crowds out private initiative, and undermines the very…

The U.S. committed war crimes, attacking the boats and killing all on board, removing due process from civilians.
