M6 Scout Survival Rifle Springfield Armory

Survival Gear Review: M6 Scout Survival Rifle

One of the purpose built survival weapons that I always found interesting was the M6 Scout made by Springfield Armory. Based on the design for the pilots of the USAF, the Springfield Armory M6 Scout has only a few changes from the original M6 Aircrew Survival Weapon.

Survival Gear Review: Rayovac Roughneck

I think I like flashlights almost as much as knives (almost is the key word). I am very particular about flashlights that I purchase and have always wanted a very bright light, like a Surefire or any other tactical light.

Tooth or Tail

I first came across the phrase “Tooth or Tail” in a paper entitled “The Other End of the Spear: The Tooth to Tail Ratio (T3R) in Modern Military Operations” by John J. McGrath (download free). I found it an interesting read but then again, I do not deny being a tad on the strange side.

6 reasons Why Even Skeptics Should Prepare

For every prepper out there, there are dozens more who are skeptics. Some of these people raise an eyebrow when they hear about storing food or packing Bug Out Bags, while others are loud in their ridicule.

Survival Gear Review: CZ 75 Pistol

When I was in a gun store waiting for an FFL transfer, I saw what I thought was a nice looking Browning Hi-Power in the case for a great price. I asked to look at it and the gun felt right. I checked the tag and it read, “CZ 75B”.

Survival Gear Review: SOL Emergency Bivvy

The Original SOL Heatsheets Emergency Bivvy from Adventure Medical Kits was something we had to try for ourselves. We liked the weight and the cost but could it replace the emergency space blanket that people keep in their cars? The answer, Yes.

Survival Gear Review: SureFire G2X Pro

The Surefire G2X Pro is a polymer-bodied (Nitrolon) version of the 6PX Pro. It is the replacement for the G2 LED, now discontinued, and heir apparent to the standard G2. We put it through the paces at SurvivalCache to see if it lived up to the SureFire name.

Survival Eating

Food is not just a source of energy and sustenance, but a comfort item as well. When you are hungry, morale goes down and chances of survival dwindle. There will be several opportunities to find food after the supermarkets close, you just need to know where to look and what tools to have.

Survival Gear Review: Henry US Survival AR-7 Rifle

Since 1959, the US Air Force has been using the AR-7 as a survival rifle for pilots. We loved the idea behind the AR-7 so we decided to put it through the paces at SurvivalCache to see if it would live up to the term “Survival Rifle”…and it did.

Book Review: The Prepper’s Pocket Guide

I am not usually a fan of the “Dummy’s Guide to….” or “101 Easy Steps To…” kind of books. This excellent little handbook by Bernie Carr (The Apartment Prepper) is a rare exception to my rule.
