This blog started as an experiment and repository for information I could pass to my son. I wanted him to be able to read his father’s words to learn about personal protection and staying safe in a dangerous world. Fast forward a few years, and I’m still coming up with content to share. The response has been overwhelmingly positive, so I’ll keep going.
Who am I?

I’m a dad, husband, engineer, and student of the arts of personal protection and self sufficiency. I want to impart as much of my collected knowledge as I can, to help keep you and your family safe.
I’ve been training with professional firearms companies for over 14 years, and I am constantly looking for the next morsel of info to assimilate into my life. When I do, I’ll pass it on.
Our goal should be to live a full, happy, and safe life. To raise confident, competent, and conscientious children. The emphasis of my writing is on personal protection and firearms, but occasionally I’ll stray into other related topics.
Let’s Learn Together,
Mark
