The hurricane caused massive flooding in the state, inundating many EVs. With Florida being the second largest EV marker in the U.S. after California with 95,000 registered vehicles, firefighters have to deal with an equally big disaster as Ian – if not more massive.

In an Oct. 6 tweet, Florida State Fire Marshal Jimmy Patronis Jr. warned of the risk of EVs spontaneously catching fire.

Survival essentials: 5 Bushcraft skills for preppers

May 02, 2023 -

Prepping and bushcraft

They may seem similar, but prepping and bushcraft are two different things.

A prepper is someone who prepares for a disaster. Your preparation often involves various supplies and modern equipment.

Meanwhile, someone who practices bushcraft spends a lot of time in the wild trying to learn how people survived in the past. It is more of a hobby than a way of life.

Because they both entail skills and familiarity to execute well, they can sometimes ...

5 Hidden ancient civilizations discovered by laser technology

January 12, 2023 -

This laser technology, called light detection and ranging (LiDAR), employs planes or drones to beam thousands of laser pulses from the sky to the ground below.
