As the social, political and economical climate in America and around the world has continued to change, more and more Americans have accepted the need to think ahead and prepare for uncertain times.
Some of these Americans pour tens of thousands of dollars (and more!) into this effort, acquiring the best tools and training available; others only dream of the day when they will financially be able to better prepare...and hope for the best.
But there are still others who, like Theodore Roosevelt, learn to "do what they can, with what they have, where they are."
These Americans don't have limitless resources and may be scoffed at on social media for buying and using "cheap" gear, but they take seriously the task that they seek to accomplish and the skills that they train to acquire.
We call them the "Budget Operators" and our goal is to build tools and provide information to help them excel.
We ourselves are Budget Operators.
We all have average incomes and expenses and face the same financial difficulties you do. We have all looked for the "best deals" and spent time saving up for pieces of gear we weren't willing to save money on. You won't see any of us on Social Media sporting top of the line, expensive gear...unless we made it!
But you will see us constantly training and learning to adapt and overcome obstacles wherever they meet us, with what we do have at our disposal.
If you consider yourself a Budget Operator, we would love to have your help just as much as we want to help you!
Please check out our Kit Reviews, Articles, and Videos, to see our latest information on the best budget gear we've tested, and learn along with us as we analyze new and adaptive ways to fulfill our duty to God and Country in these unstable times!
Please contact us with any specific gear you'd like to see tested or built, or any subjects you'd like us to address!
