SITREP: USAF Jamming GPS // Super Blue Blood Moon // Fitness Trackers Destroying OPSEC

The United States Air Force began its series of aerial war games known as Red Flag last Friday, which will be the largest of their kind in 42 years. As a result of this training, the USAF is blacking out GPS over their Nevada Test & Training Range, as well as surrounding regions.

Off-Road Staple: Selecting and Mounting a Hi-Lift Jack On Your Rig

1 of 3 in the series Off-Road Staple

If there’s one piece of kit I’d say you absolutely shouldn’t be off-roading without, it’s a shovel. Hands down, a good shovel will get you out of almost anything. Tantamount to the shovel though, is the farm jack (synonymous with “Hi-Lift” or “High-Lift”). With this piece of kit, you’ve got a means to reset your truck in a mud hole, change a tire, replace vital underbody components, extricate someone from a rolled or crushed vehicle, winch a vehicle…etc. The list goes on even outside of the off-road scene.

False Alarm: Why the Missile Alert in Hawaii was a Stark Reminder of the Not So Distant Past

As traumatizing as it must have been to go through the recent events in Hawaii, it’s an stark reminder of what occurred not so long ago. If the alert was put out where you lived, would you and your family have a plan? What if you were out running errands or driving on the highway? Would you know what to do or where to go?

The recent media interviews showed a terrified public who lacked a clear understand of the issue, or what to do when the incoming missile alert was broadcast. It seemed the only thing everyone could agree on was to take to posting on social media.  Continue reading
