OUR NEW TITLE EXPANDS OUR COMMITMENT TO YOU

At American Survival Guide, we take pride in our legacy, which we believe identifies ASG as the country’s—perhaps the world’s—oldest self-reliance and preparedness-based magazine. We’ve been dedicated to bringing information and advice about preparing for, and surviving, all sorts of challenging situations to our readers since the 1970s.

Our deepest roots go all the way back to the original seed publication, Shooter’s Journal, which first hit newsstands in 1978. On the global level, that was a stressful time, because tensions between the United States and the (then) Soviet Union were coming to a head, causing great concern among wary folks who were determined to survive the fallout, both figuratively and literally.
