A grey man is one who fits in. He doesn’t look tactical in any way and fits in like he is supposed to be there. Please know that when I say “man” I’m also including the better looking, not to mention smarter, of our species. Then again, women tend to fit in better than men […]

I’m a bit of a prepper. I’m not super into prepping, and I don’t have a bunker that I’d load my family into out of fear of an attack or anything like that–not that I’d be opposed to the idea. However, I do believe that each person should be responsible for their own future well […]
