They say, “Hind sight is 20/20”, [...]
Kel-Tec Sub 2000
When choosing a survival gun there are many things to take into account: price, size, magazine capacity, etc. This American made beauty with its, compact size, high capacity magazine capability, and a price tag in the lower $300’s was designed with the survivalist in mind. Weighing in at a measly 4lbs. (1.8kg) this carbine rifle [...]

Prepping for the worst
Source: Lancaster Online “Candles and wood.” It’s Deb Giffin’s mantra. The Manor Township woman doesn’t want to give up her dishwasher or her fridge. But, she said, disaster could strike.
