The following submission is part of an ongoing Guest Post Writing Contest. - – – Rourke On Being Prepared By J Cascarelli I do believe in planning for the worst and hoping for the best. As a graduate engineer (retired), I try to look dispassionately at data and draw conclusions based on careful [...]
The following submission is part of an ongoing Guest Post Writing Contest. - – – Rourke When Bad People Attack At some future period, not very distant as measured by centuries, the civilized races of man will almost certainly exterminate, and replace the savage races throughout the world. Charles Darwin Sadly what [...]

Author’s Note: Rourke has been a good friend of our team at SurvivalWeek.com and is aware of the tremendous research we have done on the topic of Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP).

Much has been written about hiding your retreat far off road and deep in the woods. I own and operate a working Texas ranch located 25 miles from the nearest small city of 2,000 souls.
