This is a Must read for all Preppers!

[Survive-It-All]

The producers of Recoil magazine have recently released an issue titled "Off Grid" and I have yet to finish the entire magazine (I am about half way) but what i have read so far has been extremely informative.


I strongly suggest purchasing and reading it, it has information for experienced preppers all the way down to the newbies!

Can I ask where you found the magazine? Store wise I mean.

 

[Survive-It-All]

Kroger in Kokomo... It was $8.99 but well worth it!

 

[Evermoore]

Ya they are never cheap :P Thanks for the info!

 

[Survive-It-All]

No problem! It is a thick magazine, almost a book!

I just purchased it today as well, it seems like a good read. I have the last 2 issues of Recoil and really enjoy it too.

Hey, Survive-it-all, nice photography! Did you stage the magazine? I see the knife is in the picture, for whatever survival needs we may put it to.

Recoil magazine lost me as a reader. HK MP7's are not to be trusted in the hands of law abiding free men and women.

Maybe they dumped the guy that printed it, but the whole mag and anything associated with it is poison.u

Actually, Jerry Tsai did end up resigning from Recoil. The magazine nearly died due to that controversy and effectively has been rebooted since then.

Any standout info in the magazine that you cannot find in this forum or online elsewhere?

Well i am sure at some point it has been mentioned on here but, why search through thousands of posts for the information contained in this one magazine?

And, no sadly i did not take the picture, it was just the only one Google could find lol...

I do not read recoil magazine, in fact i did not know this was published by them until after i bought it, but it was so well written and clearly understandable that i figured it to be a good read for anyone. I personally don't judge an entire company by one persons actions or words, if we did that would there be anywhere we could shop that there wasn't something that rubbed us the wrong way? Not to say that I would in anyway support a company that neglected to uphold or 2nd amendment rights.

Uh, for the same reason most print media formats have gone the way of the dodo?
There are numerous reasons why the web is such a vastly better consumer experience than print media, likely the foremost being instant user reviews and commentary.

I just purchased this magazine, and I for one like print media. There is something to be said for being concise, and searching through thousands upons thousands of pointless comments to glean a little good info isn't something I have time to do. Yes I like INGO, but it tends to get pretty repetetive. I've only skimmed the magazine, but I can say for certain that an hour and a half spent reading it would yeild more info than the same time on INGO.

What he said and you have a physical copy of the information (the magazine) if there's no power to get to the internet. Got to have all your bases covered.

 

[Bsubtown]

The magazine format is a bit worrisome to me although I like having hard copies. So few magazines have in depth information and tend to scratch the surface of issues. For a prepper it seems important to have ideas fully formed. Maybe this magazine provides that, does it?

I like print because and print off a lot of stuff and have bought many books...when the grid goes down I want my info.

 

[spectre327]

Ummmm. How bout a take you off the grid right now and tell you to answer so and so question because it'll mean life or death. Bet ya $50 you'd be heading to the nearest library.

I can make a website for $.99 a month and put believable information that is totally falsified. If I can, anyone can, and with that said, that is why we have millions of useless websites to sift through.

Are the librarys going to be open if we are off grid? Are you sure you will have access to your own library?

 

[jbrooks19]

It is a good magazine. I bought and read it to and was worth the read!

 

[jbrooks19]

What makes you think the Internet would be available if SHTF? If that's not evidence of naive I don't know what is, no insult intended. For info the library would be about the only place available post SHTF. If SHTF do you think anywhere would be open? Of course not. All anyone would have to do is open the door, walk in, find what you want to read, and READ it! And how would someone not have access to their own library? I personally carry a little note pad in my BOB with important info and printouts in it.
