Everyday Urban Citizen also known as Prepper
As you may be aware, we live in an urban environment. Firewood is at a premium and available conveniently at our grocery store and big box hardware store, but at a premium price. Big bucks for just a few 16″ pieces of lord knows what. mostly pine, but for the urban back yard burner, it’s premium fire wood.

This is half of our early alert team. Dedicated companions, great listeners, and always on alert. Him and his brother have kept our family guarded 24-7 unless we interrupt their natural instinct to stay on watch, for moments of petting, playing and emotional support. Then once we’re done with their affection, they go right back to work keeping watch.

Do not discount the importance of a portable and comprehensive First Aid Kit. I keep one in my Truck, stored in my Emergency Kit. It is small and compact, yet it has what I may need for minor medical emergencies. I keep the kit stored in a highly visible, red zippered pencil case. I have a attached a carabiner clip, so I can attach it to my belt, if needed.

Cable TV has become another utility payment for the majority. Programming is definitely broad with many options available for all tastes. But during an event that cable may not be available for many reasons, lines down, cable supplier power outages, or the switch was turned off for unknown reasons.

Up for a quick review today is the Chesty Puller Holster System made by Simply Rugged Holsters. The System is a leather harness that allows you to carry the Simply Rugged Pancake Holster in the chest position, commonly referred to as a “Tanker Holster.” The system was designed by the Maker, while living in Alaska, where he needed a powerful handgun while fishing and hunting. The system positions the holster high on the center of your torso, keeping it above water and brush, yet still allowing quick access.

Today we are reviewing one of the most unique rifles available, the Henry AR-7 Survival Rifle. Originally designed as a U.S. Air Force Pilot Survival Rifle, the compact AR-7 is a semi-automatic Rifle, chambered in .22 LR, fed from an eight round detachable magazine. What makes this rifle so unique is it’s ability to break down into three basic components with the receiver and barrel stored within the ABS plastic stock. Taking the stored components to a fully functional rifle is quick and easy:
-Remove stock butt pad
-Remove receiver and barrel
-Screw receiver into stock
-Screw barrel into receiver
The stock compartment also accepts two additional eight round magazines.
