If you’ve ever wondered what a long-term blackout would feel like—not as a prepper, but as an ordinary person—this movie gets close. Into the Forest doesn’t start with panic. It starts with normal. And then quietly chips away at it. That’s what makes it effective. Whether you’re into preparedness or not, this is a film that takes its time and pulls you into the emotional side of survival. It’s about the small decisions. The things people ignore. And how fast comfort disappears when systems fail. When the grid fails, there’s no siren. No explosion. Just silence. That’s the quiet threat…

When America goes to war, it likes to be on the offensive. “Nobody ever defended anything successfully,” Gen. George S. Patton famously said. “There is only attack and attack and attack some more.”But for six months after Pearl Harbor, the U.S. military retreated and retreated some more. The U.S. garrison in the Philippines, under Gen. Douglas MacArthur, steadily retreated before the Japanese onslaught that culminated in the surrender at Bataan in May 1942. Isolated outposts at Wake Island and Guam fell, while the decimated and outnumbered U.S. fleet carefully stuck to hit-and-run as America mobilized for total war. Today, a…

Georgia game wardens caught two poachers last week in what must have felt like a scene from the past, when Southern outlaws still prowled the banks with telephones. The two poachers were caught red-handed trying to ditch the conspicuous wooden box, but the wardens recognized it for what it was: an antique telephone being used as a deadly (and illegal) fishing device. The Georgia DNR explained in a Facebook post that Sgt. Matt Garthright and Warden Chason Brogdon were on patrol…

This article was originally published by Connor O’Keeffe at The Mises Institute.  We’re now in the second week of Trump’s so-called “takeover” of Washington, DC, where he’s formally federalized the city’s police and mobilized national guard troops and federal agents to help crack down on crime. So far, a few hundred people have been arrested. City officials quickly filed lawsuits last week, which allowed federal judges to freeze some aspects of the president’s move. All while the establishment media frames the entire episode as Trump, for the first time in the country’s history, ushering in a federal “police state.” The right, in…

We have a pair of compact binos, some stabilized units, a handful of large-frame binoculars, and probably the smallest assemblage of conventional 10×42 units in the history of our test. In most years, we have so many submissions in each of the sub-categories of compact, mid-sized, and large-frame binoculars that we break them into groups of peers. Not this year. We threw all the binos in one…

A pair of hunting guides from Maine are being hailed as heroes after helping chase down a suspected killer in a high-speed pursuit on Aug. 15. Matt York and Kyle Beaudet, who run Backroads Guide Service, said they didn’t hesitate to give chase in their rented U-Haul truck after they witnessed the suspect shoot a man on the highway in broad daylight. After all, York said, the two bear hunters had experience chasing predators before. “We have been in a lot…

United States ruler Donald Trump is facing backlash after he called Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu a “war hero”. In an interview with right-leaning commentator Mark Levin on Tuesday, Trump called Netanyahu “a good man” who he said is “there fighting.” “He’s a war hero. I guess I am too… [but] nobody cares… I sent those planes,” Trump said, referring to American strikes he ordered on Iranian nuclear facilities back in June. Netanyahu and the other members of Israel’s ruling class have moved ahead with plans for a new military occupation of Gaza City. The plan has sparked nationwide demonstrations, with tens…

You need to get to know holsters. It takes time to get a feel for the fit and see if it works with your style. Some I keep, and others I break up with. It’s not you, it’s me. The Safariland Gravity holster is relatively new and, from the outset, offers ease of use and comfort. I wanted more than a one-night stand with the Gravity holster, so I have been wearing the paddle version for the past three months. The Gravity is also available with a belt loop and other attachments, depending on your end use. Injected-Molded Polymer vs…

Lawmakers introduced new legislation Tuesday that would reinstate a previously dissolved U.S. government office that led relocation efforts for Afghan allies and refugees.Rep. Sydney Kamlager-Dove, D-Calif. — along with several other lawmakers — announced the Enduring Welcome Act, which would legally codify the Office of the Coordinator for Afghan Relocation Efforts, or CARE. The Trump administration closed the office just last month.“We will not turn our backs on the brave Afghans who risked everything to protect our service members,” said Kamlager-Dove in a press release. “Their courage helped save American lives, and now it is our duty to protect theirs.”Reps.…

Dave DeGroot asking for details.DeGroot, director of the Army Heat Center at Benning’s Martin Army Community Hospital, has been on a mission since 2019 to raise awareness about prevention of and response to heat injuries. And he’s finding, he says, that direct accountability and communication with units and leaders is preventing heat injuries from turning debilitating or deadly.It’s no coincidence that Benning is home to the Army Heat Center. From 2020 to 2024, the…

Most clone journeys start the same way. For me—and I suspect many others—it began with a picture on Instagram or a post on a forum. That one image sparks an all-night investigation into history, deployments, and generational shifts. Once the obsession sets in and you decide you can’t live without that rifle, the next step is hunting down parts. That’s usually when reality hits: either the parts can’t be found, or when they do show up, they carry staggering price tags. One of the most striking rifles I’ve ever seen is the Mk11 Mod 0. The first thing that catches…

This story, “Statistics Don’t Lie,” originally ran in the September 1949 issue of Outdoor Life. FOR TWO DAYS I had been roaming the hills of eastern Washington — and I’d seen six does, but not hair nor hide of a buck. I sat down in a patch of warm sunlight near a well-used deer trail, to eat my lunch and ponder the injustice of it all. Since daybreak I had hiked six or seven miles, through open pine woods on the…

Recent whistleblower leaks suggest that there is a plan in place to depopulate humanity to create a larger artificial intelligence infrastructure. Depopulation will free up electricity and other resources needed to expand AI on the globe. Whistleblowers and investigative reports reveal that bioweaponized vaccines targeting elderly and vulnerable populations—freeing up electricity and water for AI infrastructure. Sources claim that the ruling elitists are using mail-order nasal “vaccines” to achieve their depopulation scheme. The FDA recently greenlit a self-administered nasal flu vaccine set for mass distribution in 2025–2026. Critics, including Dr. Mary Talley Bowden, warn that this “vaccine” contains live viruses…

White House officials said Wednesday that President Donald Trump is committed to making sure overseas and out-of-state military ballots are still counted in upcoming elections, even while he pushes for significant changes in how states handle mail-in voting procedures. But administration officials would not say what protections will be put in place for mail-in military voting rules, which impact more than 1 million active-duty service members each election cycle. In a social media post Monday, Trump vowed to “get rid of mail-in ballots,” claiming they are used to commit widespread voter fraud. Multiple past independent reviews of state mail-in voting…

United States health officials are warning of a deadly flesh-eating bacteria that’s been infecting humans this summer. The bacteria thrive in warm seawater, and the media is fear-mongering, saying this is a chilling reminder of the potential danger associated with vacation pastimes like swimming and wading. Infections are caused by the bacteria Vibrio vulnificus and have a 20% fatality rate according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. That makes early and appropriate treatment crucially important, says Northeastern University professor Brandon Dionne, a clinical pharmacist in infectious diseases. “It’s pretty rare when it happens, but it can be very severe,”…

As protests increasingly escalate into violent riots, defending oneself in the chaos becomes a risky proposition, especially when considering its legality. With that in mind, a Michigan lawmaker has introduced a measure that would protect Michigan residents from civil lawsuits when acting in self-defense to escape a violent riot. State law already protects those practicing self-defense from criminal liability, but State Sen. Jim Runestad’s measure would go even further. According to a news release from Michigan Senate Republicans, Senate Bill 500 would expand existing self-defense legal protections to include immunity from civil lawsuits, such as claims for property damage or personal…
