Prepping 101: Catastrophic Radiation Events & How to Survive

From what I can tell, nobody is going to send me a Facebook notification 24 hours before Russia, China, “terrorists” (ie. our own shadow government), or the US under official license launches a nuke.

He is still doing it today, and he calibrated four meters for us for this article.

These inexpensive shotguns work incredibly well, and don’t break the bank. Some of them are even pink–which got me some strange looks at the range.

From the Miculek channel, “You’ve seen him rapidfire the beast- but this time Jerry Miculek makes an outstanding, seemingly impossible shot using a 34 pound Barrett M107 50 caliber rifle, a Vortex Razor HD gen II JM, and Hornady 750gr A-MAX ammunition.”
