Medium Radiation – MyGeiger Pro v3 – Hanford Nuclear Accident – Prepping 101

I know that even with a nuclear war potentially looming over the conflict on the Korean peninsula, most people will absolutely refuse to prepare for a high level radiation event no matter what.

This week I got a chance to take a quick look at two fantastic products from Bushnell. How am I already so excited in the pants for these products, when I have had them less than a week? Easy.

So, why should we care about a new AR on the market? Because it is from Taurus, and first impressions seem to show that the company put some serious thought into what the AR consumer market wants today, and how to deliver it for a good price.
