Podcast: Play in new window | DownloadPreparedness isn’t just about stockpiling supplies. It’s about mindset, experience, and the lessons we carry from one generation to the next. A recent New York Post report highlights a troubling gap: while 90% of Americans believe it’s important to prepare for natural disasters, less than half—just 46%—actually have a plan in place. Even more concerning, baby boomers (born 1946–1964) are the least prepared, with only 39% reporting any kind of disaster plan. TL;DR: Baby boomers are the least prepared for disasters, despite rising extreme weather and growing awareness across generations. Quick Look at What…

Podcast: Play in new window | DownloadIf you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by preparedness and life in general, you’re not alone. I received a message from someone in the Mind4Survival community that said: “I feel so overwhelmed by everything I need to do, and it keeps me from doing anything.” That kind of overwhelm—the kind of overwhelm that keeps you from doing things because it paralyses your ability to take action is more common than you might think. And it makes sense. You’re juggling family, work, stress, life in general—and on top of that, you’re supposed to plan and prepare for…

Podcast: Play in new window | DownloadYou’ve probably heard it before: that 90% of Americans would die within a year of an EMP attack. It’s one of the most quoted numbers in all of preparedness. But that number didn’t come from a study or model. It came from a single sentence in a 2005 Senate hearing. It wasn’t a forecast—it was one extreme of a range, from no deaths to full collapse. Still, over time, the 90% death rate became gospel. And too many people now treat it as an inevitable outcome, especially in the prepper community. I’m not an…

Podcast: Play in new window | DownloadCharlie Kirk was assassinated earlier today. The news just broke—and it’s already sending shockwaves. People on the right are stunned. Many are enraged. And there are some on the left who are—insanely enough—celebrating. Whether you followed him or couldn’t stand him, here’s the truth: This could get worse before it gets better. This has the potential to become a flashpoint that leads to further violence. As one person said on X: “Charlie Kirk is a fixture of the Gen Z social media diet. People feel like they know him. This will hit very, very…

But after a string of high-profile assassination attempts—including one that succeeded—more people are wondering: how do I keep myself and my family safer at rallies, concerts, or outdoor events? And you’re right to wonder. There’s no two ways about it. And that’s what this article is going to focus on: How to stay safe at a public event, should shooting start. What do you do?

Podcast: Play in new window | DownloadWe move through dozens of different environments every single day. Home → car → gas station → work → school → store → restaurant → home again. Each time we step into a new place or mix with new people, our risk profile quietly shifts. Most folks never notice. I do. You should notice too. All it takes is thirty seconds to update my head—my mindset and situational awareness—and I’m set to go. That habit keeps me calm and keeps me prepared. I always have a plan to get through the few seconds to…

In preparation, I took off most of the fall to hunt, and I went in a week before the season to scout British Columbia’s East Kootenay mountains. Just before opening day, I spotted sheep on the back side of a giant peak, and one of them was really nice. I decided to stay up on the mountain all night and shoot the ram in the first hour of opening…

Pentagon leaders faced members of Congress on Thursday for the first time since President Donald Trump deployed the National Guard in American cities. During the hearing, held by the Senate Armed Services Committee, Democrats lambasted the mission as an egregious abuse of power by the president, while Republicans contended the effort was “essential” to protect the homeland. In June, Trump — in response to protests against his immigration policies — announced the Guard would serve as an auxiliary force supporting local and federal law enforcement agencies in Los Angeles. Trump went on to send Guard troops to other cities across…

Service members will see a 4.2% bump, on average, in their monthly Basic Allowance for Housing as of Jan. 1, defense officials announced Thursday. The average increase for 2026 is lower than the 2025 average of 5.4%.

But in areas where there is a decrease, service members won’t be penalized. They’ll continue to receive the same amount they received in 2025 for as long as they are stationed there.In their announcement, officials said they expect to pay an…

This article was originally published by Belle Carter at Natural News.  President Donald Trump warned of imposing “very severe” tariffs on Canadian fertilizer imports (potash and nitrogen), citing U.S. dependence on Canada—which supplies 95% of America’s potash—as a vulnerability. A new relief program allocates $11 billion to row-crop producers, aiming to offset trade war losses and rising input costs. This follows China’s retaliatory tariffs, which previously cost U.S. agriculture $27 billion annually. Farmers remain caught in global trade disputes, with China failing to meet its promised soybean purchases (only 25% of the pledged 12 million metric tons delivered since October…

KHARKIV, UKRAINE — The Vampire drone gripped two precious pieces of cargo tightly — a bomb for the Russians and a delivery of still-warm KFC for the Ukrainians in the trench next to them. Nikoletta Stoyanova, a Ukrainian photographer, watched as the six-armed behemoth took flight before soldiers hurried her into a basement. It was the dead of night in the Kharkiv region of eastern Ukraine, near the besieged city of Kupyansk. The city had already traded hands twice — the Russians had captured the city in the first days of the war, and the Ukrainians liberated it six months…

Russian scientists have produced the first three test batches of a newly developed cancer vaccine at the Gamaleya Institute in Moscow. This new “vaccine” is said to be a breakthrough drug. It’s an artificial intelligence-assisted, mRNA-based vaccine designed to target malignant tumors using the patient’s own genetic data. Russia’s Cancer “Vaccine” Will Rollout This Fall The center’s director, Alexander Gintsburg, has said that hopefully, the scientists can use this personalized vaccine to train the human immune system to attack tumors in the body.

Throughout its 135-year history, the Army-Nave game has featured hundreds of athletes who would later serve in combat, including the likes of Omar Bradley and Dwight D. Eisenhower in West Point’s Class of 1915, later known as “the class the stars fell on” for producing 59 generals.However, less than a dozen cadets or midshipmen who played for their school have gone on to receive the nation’s highest award for valor, the Medal of Honor. Six midshipmen who lettered in varsity football have received the honor, while five cadets from West Point — who played, albeit minor roles, on their teams…

The farmlands of north-central North Dakota near Minot are well known for their abundance of pheasants. The terrain is ideal upland bird habitat, with abundant wheat and soybean fields and plenty of coulees with cover that ringnecks relish. Local hunter Eric Henke and six buddies were chasing birds on his farm there on Dec. 7. It was a frigid morning — “chilly even for here,” Henke says. “There was 6 inches of snow on the ground, the temperature was 5 degrees…

The House on Wednesday passed a major defense policy bill that would authorize $900.6 billion in discretionary spending for the Pentagon in fiscal 2026.The National Defense Authorization Act will now head to the Senate for final passage, after its 312-112 approval in the House.
