Radio Frequencies Every Prepper Should Know*
Radios may seem a bit old fashioned in the information age, with
everyone “connected” through their smartphones and computers. But the fact is
that radio is still one of the most effective means of communication out there.
I just recently talked with an emergency worker who was in New Orleans
immediately after Hurricane Ida hit, and if it hadn’t been for radios, the
rescuers wouldn’t have had any communications at all.
The nice thing about radios is that they are not dependent on
the same infrastructure that our other means of communications are. Telephone
and internet are much more complex systems. Even television is more complex,
requiring more sophisticated equipment and considerably more power. Yet even a
small radio, running off of batteries, can provide instantaneous communications
near and far.
All mediums of communication are required to have backup power,
per FCC regulations. Even so, the local cell phone tower isn’t going to have a
backup generator connected to it, keeping it up and running. Your local
landline phone company will, but that’s not going to do any good, even for
those who still have landlines, as our modern cordless phones don’t work if the
base isn’t connected to the house’s electrical power...

The Best Bug Out Guns To Survive On The Road
If you were forced to evacuate your home and hit road the
following a major grid down disaster, what guns would you want to bring with
you?
Bugging out presents its own unique set of dangers. You’re
naturally exposed out on the road, you can’t bring all of your supplies with
you, and you may not even know where you’re going (especially if you don’t have
a bug out location in mind, or if you’re forced to take an alternate
route).
But should the guns you bring with you when bugging out be the
same guns you'd use if you were to bug in at home instead? While you may not be
able to bring as many firearms with you (due to there naturally being less
space in your vehicle than your home), it’s still important to bring a number
of different firearms that cover different roles...
