When systems fail, resourcefulness matters more than gear. I asked a man living on the street how he gets food and water with nothing. Gas stations. Roadside sources. Patterns most people walk past every day. Urban survival isn’t about having more - it’s about knowing where to look when you have nothing.

An emergency happens and you need to get from point A to point B with a substantial amount of water to keep you hydrated (in case there’s none available), but that weighs you down. Carrying 10L of water for this long is a recipe for exhaustion. The reality is, you can’t survive without that water once you reach your destination. The solution is the “fill-and-forget” strategy, which is not to pack the water but the capability to hold the water. Introducing the Uzima D-Prep-a rugged, collapsible 2.5 gallon water bag designed specifically for high-stakes emergency preparedness. What is the “Fill-and-Forget” Strategy? The fill-and-forget strategy focuses on capacity over mass. This strategy keeps your go bag light and agile by carrying an empty collapsible 2.5 gallon water bag instead of the immediate 22-pound burden of full containers. The bag doesn’t need to be deployed until you’ve reached your pivot point or your hunker-down location. By waiting until you reach your destination to obtain water, you save your back and knees an immense amount of exhaustion and pain. Upon arrival, your collapsible bag transforms from a flat sheet into a multi-gallon reservoir.  Collapsible bags provide you with the ultimate space optimization from what survivalists call “air thieves.” Even when rigid water jugs are empty, they occupy the same amount of space in your bag. This space overtaker forces you to choose between necessities rather than being able to pack all of your needs. Products like the D-Prep allow you to optimize your bag as much as possible and keep you ready for action.  Why the Uzima D-Prep is the Perfect Choice Designed for emergency preparedness situations, the Uzima D-Prep is the professional choice for any go-bag. Let’s break this down more below:  Puncture Resistance: Unlike other collapsible jugs, the collapsible 2.5 gallon water bag is built from heavy-duty, BPA-free material designed for rugged environments.  Reinforced Handling: 10 liters of water equals 22 pounds of solid weight. The D-Prep’s handle is specifically designed to prevent “snap-offs” during transport. Modular Advantage: This bag is compatible with the Uzima UZ-1 filter, meaning it can transition from a storage bag to a gravity-fed filtration system instantly.  These characteristics set the Uzima D-Prep apart from generic storage options. This bag is a piece of professional-grade equipment and will keep you and your family hydrated in emergency situations.  Professional Gear Delivered: The BattlBox Connection Exclusive information ahead! The Uzima D-Prep is a featured item in the January BattlBox subscription box. BattlBox subscribers have the upper hand when it comes to the latest survival and tactical gear. These products have been vetted at the professional level and our top of market.  This easy subscription method ensures that emergency preppers and survivalists have everything they need before they actually need it. For those who take their gear seriously, the inclusion of this collapsible 2.5 gallon water bag in BattlBox is a testament to its reliability. “Fill-and-Forget” Best Practices The Uzima D-Prep provides versatility in high stake situations, when it’s needed most. This adaptability makes it a force multiplier in several situations:  The Last-Minute Fill: In the event of a natural disaster, municipal water often drops quickly. The D-Prep allows you to collect 10L of tap water before it runs dry.  Basecamp Hygiene and Cooking: Having access to 10L of water is the perfect amount for a central station. A collapsible 2.5 gallon water bag provides the perfect volume for a central station-enough for a full day of cooking, cleaning, and hygiene without constant trips to a water source. The Bug-Out Vehicle: Because this bag is paper-thin when empty, it is the ultimate tool for vehicle prep. You can easily tuck three of these bags into a seat pocket without sacrificing space.  To ensure your D-Prep is ready, follow these steps:  Storage: Keep your D-Prep in an external pocket of your go bag. When an emergency happens, you do not want to be diving around for your water access.  Maintenance: Make sure to dry the bag thoroughly. After use, prop the bag open to ensure all moisture is taken care of. To prevent mold, never store the bag when damp.  Filter Backup: Pair your D-Prep with a Uzima UZ-1 filter for quick hands-free filtration. If this is not an option, keep a strip of Aquatabs readily available to make sure your water is clean.  Don’t Get Caught Without the Capacity Mobility is life, but survival is water. The Uzima D-Prep gives you both. Make sure you have the capacity for as much water as you need during the next natural disaster or emergency. Sign up for a BattlBox subscription today and level up your hydration strategy with the Uzima D-Prep!

The Ring Nebula is a well-studied planetary nebula about 2,570 light-years away. Nnew observations of the nebula with a new instrument have revealed a previously unseen component. The William Herschel Telescope used its WEAVE instrument to detect a massive 'iron bar' inside the nebula's inner layer.

Earlier this month, Iran’s internet connectivity faced one of its most severe disruptions in recent years with a near-total shutdown from the global internet and major restrictions on mobile access. EFF joined architects, operators, and stewards of the global internet infrastructure in calling upon authorities in Iran to immediately restore full and unfiltered internet access. We further call upon the international technical community to remain vigilant in monitoring connectivity and to support efforts that ensure the internet remains open, interoperable, and accessible to all. This is not the first time the people in Iran have been forced to experience this, with the government suppressing internet access in the country for many years. In the past three years in particular, people of Iran have suffered repeated internet and social media blackouts following an activist movement that blossomed after the death of Mahsa Amini, a woman murdered in police custody for refusing to wear a hijab. The movement gained global attention and in response, the Iranian government rushed to control both the public narrative and organizing efforts by banning social media and sometimes cutting off internet access altogether.  EFF has long maintained that governments and occupying powers must not disrupt internet or telecommunication access. Cutting off telecommunications and internet access is a violation of basic human rights and a direct attack on people's ability to access information and communicate with one another.  Our joint statement continues: “We assert the following principles: Connectivity is a Fundamental Enabler of Human Rights: In the 21st century, the right to assemble, the right to speak, and the right to access information are inextricably linked to internet access. Protecting the Global Internet Commons: National-scale shutdowns fragment the global network, undermining the stability and trust required for the internet to function as a global commons. Transparency: The technical community condemns the use of BGP manipulation and infrastructure filtering to obscure events on the ground.” Read the letter in full here. 

In this episode, the Common Core Diva Lynne Taylor joins me as we take a look at the new food pyramid that the unconstitutional Department of Health and Human Services is launching and see how, though they are claiming ‘real food’, the fact is that it is pushing towards 3D printed meats and, of course, …

Yes, please. As we sit in today, it’s pretty clear that the “big three” in country music are Morgan Wallen, Luke Combs and Zach Bryan. While Bryan, despite being at superstar status for the better part of three years at this point, is still an outlier due to his distance from Nashville and the industry at large, Combs and Wallen have firmly planted themselves as the two heaviest hitters in the genre for the better part of the decade. Of course, this can be reflected by both their monster streaming numbers and chart success as well as their massive tours set for 2026. For Combs, in particular, it’s looking to be a huge year. Recently, he announced that his sixth studio album, The Way I Am, is set for release on March 30th. Produced by Combs, Singleton and Chip Matthews, the record will feature a whopping 22 songs, which is the most for a standard edition album in his career. Beyond the massive album, Combs is also planning his biggest set of tour dates to date, the sprawling, international My Kinda Saturday Night Tour. Covering two continents, eight countries and including 20 shows, the tour features stops across iconic stadiums across the nation, including the likes of Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wisconsin, Neyland Stadium in Knoxville, Tennessee, Notre Dame Stadium in South Bend, Indiana, and Wembley Stadium in London, U.K. In addition to the huge stadiums across the country, the “Hurricane” singer is also bringing along a star-studded cast, including the likes of Dierks Bentley, Thomas Rhett, Ty Myers, The Castellows, Thelma & James and The Script. Though Combs is embarking on what can only be described as a career-defining tour, it hasn’t stopped him from reminiscing about the past. On Sunday, he’d upload a never-before-seen photo of his first-ever show at Parthenon Cafe in Boone, North Carolina, all the way back in 2012. “My first ever show was 14 years ago tomorrow at Parthenon Cafe in Boone, NC. It doesn’t seem that long ago but I guess time flies when you’re having fun!” View this post on Instagram Yesterday, on the 14th anniversary of his aforementioned first show, Combs continued the theme of remiscing at his appearance at City Winery in Nashville. After performing multiple songs, including the first-ever live rendition of his new song, “Sleepless in a Hotel Room,” Combs would sit down for an interview with NBC’s Sunday Today host, Willie Geist, for a taping of his “Sunday Sitdown” interview series. Though the interview in its entirety will air at a later date, TikTok user, Nashville Experience, captured some footage from the crowd. @nashvillexp A free @Luke Combs show in a small SEC town venue sounds like my kinda Saturday night #Nashville #615 #LukeCombs #Country #SEC ♬ original sound – Nashville Experience During the interview, Combs would discuss his dream tour: a free set of shows at all the small, SEC bars that he cut his teeth at early in his career. “I dream of doing like an entire tour of just venues I used to play, like 20-some shows of all the little SEC town bars.” Combs would then go on to list his dream lineup, which consists of Brickstreet in Oxford, Ohio, Tin Roof in Columbia, South Carolina, Georgia Theater in Athens, Georgia, and 40 Watt Club in Athens, Georgia. He’d also joke that he wants to simply do the entirety of South Carolina as a whole. I’m sure he’s stop back in Boone, North Carolina, for an alma mater show at Appalachian State University. Additionally, part of this dream tour would center around the fact that all the tickets would be absolutely free on a first-come, first-serve basis: “Free tickets. Just first-come, first-serve.” Realistically, the likelihood of this coming to fruition for an artist as big as Combs seems pretty unlikely. With that being said, however, we’ve seen giants such as Eric Church perform at much smaller venues such as his Nashville bar, Chiefs. Garth Brooks did a “Dive Bar Tour” a few years back, so Combs returning to his early days on a limited tour is not entirely out of the realm of possibility. It would undoubtedly make for the most unique and intimate show experiences from the “Beautiful Crazy” singer in quite a long time.
