New Age Self Reliance

New Age Self Reliance is about Modern Survival, Personal Preparedness, and Self-Reliance. We do this using outdoor gear, basic tools, and a library of books.

People like to talk about how cold Minnesota is. No one ever really talks about how hot it gets. The State of Ice and Fire. Also, 10,000 lakes means it is insanely humid ALL OF THE TIME...

You can't fix anything without first identifying the core problem. We need more people asking questions that lead to real answers.

This was a one of the most brutal embarrassments of a Democrat I’ve ever seen.

Gavin Newsom looked like a pandering fool after getting word bludgeoned by Adam Carolla.

We need to stop letting people who know nothing about these tools make laws about these tools.

The American dream is based on a simple life. Self Reliance has always been the way.

I’m worn out hearing people moan, “Our grandparents could buy a house on one paycheck, but now we can’t even afford rent on two!”

Yeah, maybe because Grandma wasn’t dropping half her income on $14 iced lattes and avocado toast shaped like art projects. Back then, if they wanted coffee, they boiled it at home in a dented pot. It tasted like burnt rubber and regret — but it woke you up and cleaned your pipes.

And Grandma wasn’t “out to brunch.” You think she had time for mimosas and hashtags? She was making something called whatever’s left in the fridge and feeding six people with it.

Don’t even start with Uber Eats. You think Grandpa was out here paying $38 to have a burger delivered three blocks away? Please. He grilled mystery meat on a rusted barbecue, and everyone called it dinner.

Now people cry about being broke while sitting in a house full of gadgets. Two SUVs in the driveway, six streaming services, three air fryers, and matching tattoos that cost more than their light bill. You think Grandpa had a tattoo? He did. It said “Korea, 1951,” and it came with trauma, not Instagram likes.

And the kids—Lord help us. “We can’t make ends meet, but Brayden needs the new iPhone!” No, he doesn’t. You’re handing an $1100 device to a child who still eats crayons and forgets to flush.

When we were kids, there was one phone. It hung on the wall like a family relic. The cord stretched just far enough for you to whisper secrets before someone yelled, “Get off, I need to make a call!” And guess what? We lived.

The TV? One. In the living room. With three channels and a dial that clicked like a safe. And if Dad wanted to watch bowling, you were a fan of bowling, end of story.

Now there’s a flat screen in every room, the baby’s got an iPad, the dog’s got a camera, and everyone’s wondering why they can’t afford rent.
Because you’re living like rock stars on retail salaries, that’s why.

Grandpa wasn’t leasing Teslas or buying $12 smoothies called “Green Zen Awakening.” He drove a truck that coughed smoke, rattled like a storm, and smelled like oil and hard work.

They lived within their means. Whatever Grandpa brought home on Friday — that’s what they had. They weren’t keeping up with the Joneses; they were keeping the lights on.

So yeah, Grandpa bought a house on one salary. But he also didn’t have a gym membership, three delivery apps, and emotional support crystals on his nightstand. His only support system was Grandma, who told him to quit whining and mow the yard.

Nowadays, everyone’s broke, anxious, and “manifesting abundance” while ordering tacos on DoorDash for the fourth time this week.

It’s not the economy — it’s the lifestyle.

Wake up, turn off your subscriptions, make your own coffee, and maybe—just maybe—you’ll smell the truth.

Well said.

[Achilles99 @Achill_es99]

I've been calling the United States a constitutional republic since I learned about it in grade school, long before I was old enough to vote. And when I did register to vote, I registered independent. And in all that time, l've continued to call our government exactly what it is, a constitutional republic. It has nothing to do with political parties, it's simply a fact.

[New Age Self Reliance @newagereliance]

This is explained perfectly.

🚨 BREAKING: Vice President JD Vance drops a truth bomb on Democrats. "Let's sit down and come to a compromise," Vance urged, but criticized Democrats for responding with, "Give us everything we want or we are going to shut down the government... that is how a CHILD behaves."

[New Age Self Reliance @newagereliance]

@amyklobuchar You voted no to open the Government. Trump isn't even allowed to vote at all??? We all know who is really at blame here.

[Firearms Policy Coalition @gunpolicy]

Read the words.

Legal immigrants are enraged because people think they should have compassion on illegals who cheated the system

“You think that my taxpayer money that I work so hard for, my salary gets cut, you think that money should go to people who cheated the system and are here illegally being a criminal?! You think I should pay for their healthcare? Are you out of your freaking mind?!”

[New Age Self Reliance @newagereliance]

@Jacob_Frey Isn't that called aiding and abetting???

[New Age Self Reliance @newagereliance]

Praying that God gives @charliekirk11 the strength to get through this quickly.

[The Vigilant Fox 🦊 @VigilantFox]

NOW: Fox News is confirming the AP report...Charlie Kirk is in critical condition at the hospital in Orem, Utah, after the shooting at his campus event.

The hospital has also confirmed his status.

He’s still alive and he’s a fighter. 🙏🏻

ALL OF THIS!! 🔥👇🏼

“450 illegal immigrants were just arrested in an automotive plant for Hyundai in the State of Georgia.”

“It really makes you wonder how many tens of thousands, if not millions, of Americans are missing out on those blue collar middle class jobs where they could support their lifestyle, have a family, live the American dream that are incapable of it.”
