We are a bimonthly urban survival lifestyle magazine.
The team at RECOIL OFFGRID is your partner in preparedness. Since 2013, we have promoted the values of self-reliance and self-sufficiency, and guided readers towards developing well-rounded survival skills. Our print publication, web stories, and video content take a practical, analytical approach to the key topics you need to be resilient in the face of hardship — urban survival, situational awareness, escape and evasion, self-defense, first aid, navigation, communication, and much more.
