Today, July 7, 2015, marks 38 years since I first wore a badge. At that time, retirement was not on my mind and it was a bright, brand new, shiny world. That didn't last long, but I'm looking back now as I look forward to tomorrow . . . The Outdoor Wire Digital Network's newest news and information service launches tomorrow morning. If you're reading this on your email, you'll get the first issue of Ready For Anything wire. A new weekly email newsletter, this service covers general preparation activities for your home, family and business. Prepared for what? – Just about anything that happens, from a sag in the power grid to bad weather to car trouble to civil unrest. In the old days, there were "survivalists," a group that got a bad rap. The media of the day picked out some of the real nuts to showcase how bad they all were – sound familiar? In the current era, millennials and even some of the older folks just want to be able to get by when things that "always work" don't work. Our aim is to get companies who serve the modern "prepper" under one tent – even though the businesses are quite diverse – to make it easier for people new to the preparedness lifestyle to get what they need before they need it. It's a big move, something new to us. And it all starts tomorrow. Tacprogear announced the new GEN 2 designs for Spec-Ops Assault Pack (SAP) line are available for purchase.
