Legacy Premium Food Storage Review

I am an affiliate of Legacy Food Storage, and I don’t affiliate with many companies.

I like these guys because of the quality non-gmo foods they offer.

Some things I like Legacy Premium Food Storage

Great Tasting.

They were voted as the best tasting food storage company. I know the food I have eaten from Legacy doesn’t taste like it is “storage food”

Compare Legacy to other food storage products:

They have the lowest cost per day (2000 Calories). This translates to the lowest cost per pound of food

Largest Serving Size in the Industry:

Serving Sizes 1.5 to 2 times larger than competing packages.

100% Certified GMO Free
25-year shelf life

The meals are packed in a mylar pouch with an oxygen absorber and a nitrogen flush. This redundancy will ensure a long shelf life

Legacy food storage meals come in 4-serving packages
Made in the USA
They also have gluten free options.

Really you can’t really find fault with a company that has put this much thought into their food storage. Especially foods with a 25 year shelf life.

Legacy doesn’t just sell food, they have carry a wide variety of preparedness gear. like this Sun King Home Solar LED Lights – 600 Lumens, PowerBank & USB Charger.

However, what I like is their non GMO food storage items. The ingredients in Legacy premium food storage meals are simple and of good quality, and they are easy to make. Basically you just add water.

Legacy Premium food storage is great for backpacking, as well as for disasters, and with the great taste they are something I can eat for everyday meals when I am in a hurry.

As a matter of fact, instead of showing all the food that they sent me, I greedily decided to save the chili to use in an upcoming camping trip with my son.

21 Days to Basic Preparedness: Book Review

I decided to try my hand at DIY publishing on the kindle. This particular ebook has been around in various ways on my site for a few years. I enhanced it and put it out on Kindle.

It takes a while (21 days its said) to make a habit. This book is about making the habit to be better prepared.

What I did was take all the academic training I have in Emergency Management, add in the experience I have earned working for a state emergency management agency as an operations officer and planner, and filter it through the viewpoint of a prepper to get something not commonly found in this niche. That is a scientific approach to prepping.

21 Days to Basic Preparedness is a basic guide, and its not got a lot of specifics on how to can food or put together a solar generator (you can find specifics all through this site). What it does is address things like how to plan or and how to test your plan.

I am offering this exclusively through Amazon. Currently 21 Days to Basic Preparedness is only available as an eBook. However, the plan is to create a paper copy also.

Because I want to offer great information that is useful to you, I have posted the Amazon preview to 21 Days to Basic Preparedness so that you know exactly what you are getting when you buy this ebook.

The Ultimate Guide to Pepper Spray: Book Review

I decided to try my hand at DIY publishing on the kindle.

The Ultimate Guide to Pepper Spray Now on Kindle has been in my head for a few years. I never tried to write it as a traditional book because a 30,000 word requirement just adds words for the sake of words. I didn’t want to write a book of fluff.

I wanted a book that gives easily understood, accurate, and useful knowledge concerning a less than lethal option.

Not everyone like guns, not everyone can carry guns.

As I wrote this I though of teachers like my wife, who would not ever wish to harm a fly, but have several children under her care.

In this book I took all my experience as a chemical agent instructor having been sprayed myself multiple times, and seeing, or spraying others hundreds of times. I have helped untold numbers of students decontaminate themselves after being sprayed in training.

I know what works and what is bad information. I share it and more in the Ultimate Guide to Pepper Spray .

If you want to know the best way to tell if you have a strong pepper spray so you don’t get misled by marketing hype, if you need to know the best spray patterns to get for your use, or see some options for carrying spray while jogging or walking around, it is covered inside this book

I am offering this exclusively through Amazon. The Ultimate Guide to Pepper Spray Now on Kindle as an eBook but it is also available as an paper copy. As an additional value, if you purchase the paperback, you get the eBook free.

Because I want to offer great information that is useful to you, I have posted the Amazon preview link to the right so that you know exactly what you are getting when you buy this ebook.

Secrets Of Street Survival – Israeli Style

Israeli self-defense and small arms specialist Eugene Sockut presents hard-learned survival tactics, including adopting the right mind-set, using “hot” and “cold” weapons, securing your home and surviving a riot.

I found Secrets Of Street Survival to offer some interesting insight into personal preparedness. This is because concept in this book are based around Israeli settlers who are surrounded by Palestinians. Because these Palestinians can go from “friendly” employees and co-workers to attempting to kill the Israeli settlers in an instant and without warning Settlers have some specific issues worth studying.

If you have thought about the see-saw of being too hesitant and too aggressive. It is hard to determine action points in such a situation. This is especially true when those coworkers appear friendly but who are liable to turn on you in an instant. Furthermore, you can’t pull your gun on everybody for any reason, there are political, moral, and legal issues to face.

No where else in the world does an individual face the types of situations that Sockut describes, this makes it interesting. Similarly, the lessons learned in this book can translate to disaster situations. Therefore, I feel that is becoming increasing important as America is becoming less permissive and more anti-gun.

I found the concepts in this book very useful to my teaching. I used it extensively in my Introduction to Terrorism course, as well as in various firearm courses.

Paladin Press labeled this book For academic study only, and it is definitely worthy of study.

Principles of Personal Defense

This new edition of Cooper’s classic Principles of Personal Defense – with a fitting tribute by firearms expert Louis Awerbuck and all-new drawings by renowned illustrator Paul Kirchner – presents his timeless theory of individual defensive behavior clearly, concisely and practically.

All free people who aspire to stay that way should read, study and share the wisdom found within these pages. Considered by many to be one of the greatest books on combat mindset and proper defensive mental conditioning ever written, it deserves a place of honor in every library.

This book was one of the first “gun books” I bought, and some of the thoughts have stayed with me ever sense. Cooper’s discussion of color codes, tactical residential architecture, and the true role of security guards have shaped my thinking as I have grown in the subject.

This is a small book, but it is filled with concepts that any martialist needs to be aware of.

Unfortunately, I was not born soon enough, nor learned about firearms early enough, to have trained under Colonel Cooper. However, I have worked with many people who have and hold certificates from Thunder Ranch.

I do however, read his work and while some of it has been advanced by science, the mindset portions are as valid now as ever.
