Book Review: Aftermath, A Story of Survival

OK, first off, when I heard about the chance to review the first book released by the author, LeAnn Edmondson, I asked…almost begged, to have a reviewer’s copy of Aftermath, A Story of Survival in order to review it. I have stalked the author from time to time on her blog, HomesteadDreamer.com (click the link […]

Product Review – Paleo Meals to Go’s Coconut Berry Breakfast

My buddy, James from SurvivalPunk, runs a blog similar to mine, and lives a similar lifestyle. He and I both eat as close to 100% Paleo as we can.

Product Review: Altai’s MF Tactical Boots

From time to time, I am contacted to review products, some good, some not so good. I won’t review a product I wouldn’t try to use regularly, and won’t review products that aren’t realistic.

Fear as a Training Tool

I am a compulsive trickster. Much to my wife’s annoyance, she is on the receiving end on a regular basis. From hiding her personal belongings to jumping out to scare her at the perfect moment, I always tend to keep my immediate family on their toes. After 16 years of marriage, plus several years of […]

Review (and the Official Launch of ) Conflicted Deck 2

Earlier this week, I received my affiliate deck of Conflicted Deck II for review. I’m going to be completely candid here – I’ve not yet gone all the way through Deck I yet. (Read more about my thoughts on Conflicted Deck I here.) I can’t. Seriously, every time I read a card or two, and discuss […]

Book Reviews: The End and The Long Road (and a Giveaway!)

I’ve been lucky enough to be included on several book reviews as part of online book tours. The tour managers know what kind of books I like..and what I don’t like…now. (I did get my wife involved doing reviews, but only with any books containing sexy mythical humanoids that sparkle in the sun, or “multiple […]
