Here is my survival "bacon" bracelets for a fundraising party my friend does every year. It centers around bacon. https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash4/319379_10151074950058653_35415261_n.jpg My daughter wants to know what colors you used for the bacon bracelets. Where did they come from? :aw...

Does anyone have a source for good quality glow cord on the same size as 550? I think (according to Google) that 550 is about 5/32" ( ~4 mm) but the closest that I can find off hand is 3/32 or ~2 mm.

If knot (heh) I will probably just pick up the 3/32 and deal with it. But I'm hoping.

Hi, I'm Hurricane Dad. I have OCD, anxiety issues, and major depression. Pleased to meet you. I haven't read the whole thread, so forgive me if it's already been mentioned, but here in Illinois, you can have an air gun of up to 699 fps without a firearms card (Firearm Owner ID, not CCW. Illinois doe...

vi! No, EMACS!

Damn, I had forgotten why I loved this forum so much. (Had a nervous breakdown a few years back, much better now). Thanks for jumping all over my question with great and useful responses! And, I think, the deciding factor will be ammo cost.

Ok, here's the deal. I've never handled a handgun, but am finally in the same zipcode of buying something once Illinois figures out what the rules for CCW are.

I'm kind of sitting between .45 and 9mm for a first one and would like some pros and cons of each load, if you please?

Thanks!

2011 goals for my 6-person family unit.

This might be a dumb question, but do you think this would work on coffee beans? Yeah, yeah, I'm coming into this late. Storing roasted coffee beans this won't really preserve their "best" flavor. Freshly roasted beans will make acceptable coffee for at least a month, but they start losing/changing...

US Cavalry has posted some tips, tricks and gear recommendationsfor zombie hunting.

The video is especially... Good (?)

I enjoyed seeing the old school fire kit with flint and steel striker combo plus char cloth tin as well. And by 'old-school' you mean 'junior high'. I took "old school" to mean "living history" as someone else has pointed out. I see a lot of flint and steel in Civil War reenactment, especially when...

Ok, smart guy, what's the color code for potable water?


(actually, I don't know and want to change that)

A few years back there was a mock disaster exercise in town. The hospital, police, fire, and ambulance went through the motions of some mass-casualty chemical-type incident. So many things were verbalised but not practiced. [...] The doctor in charge of disaster management actually said "We don't h...

I've finally talked SWMBO into accepting that I am planning on acquiring long guns and handguns. Before that, though, has to come a fire-proof gun safe. Due to my recent bad luck with Sentry, they're out of the running. Who can recommend a decent sized safe that can also house some non-firearm relat...

See, and here I was going to suggest talking to a friendly ACW or WWI reenactor, especially if it was black powder. Now, I don't have to. Spot on, QM!

Have you tried: Canned cheese? Canned bacon? Canned bread? My wife is afraid of canned bread. Saw some at the grocery last night, showed it to her and she paled and her eyes got HUGE. Got a friend who is a bacon nut, so he'll be getting canned bacon for Christmas. Never run across canned cheese or ...

I also think many of you have not really read to much of what I wrote and just jumped on the band wagon on being dicks instead of being informative. Though a lot of you have been informative and I thank you. Free advice for the environment here: Thick skin is a must. They/we can be like piranhas wi...

Getting back on topic. I think the OP has decided to leave this thread. I hope he sticks around and spends some time reading the Hall of Fame. Wise person once told me to not ask questions that I don't want answers to. I think this may be a case of that, even though we can be a tad bit harsh and un...

I would say prep less for war and more for general strife. Make plans for using your skills as trade or alternate income, take some courses in old school farming and maybe butchering. [...] The PAW will be more like the 1700s than Mad Max. Just my own guestimate. You should do a risk assessment of ...

I'm going to be the odd man out and say: DON'T break the "grocery shopping every day" habit. It's a good habit, ensuring you the freshest produce. Instead, encourage it. But every day, have her buy one thing that you're not going to eat that day, nonperishable: a box of spaghetti, a jar of sauce, a...

It actually made complete sense to her, so we saved, stockpiled and grew our savings all in one little stretch of the truth, well not really because with todays economy no one is assured a job tomarrow.

Does she shop for that days (or the next days) meals? I'll assume she is not French or Euro On Monday afternoon, she stops at the grocery (about 10 blocks away) for Monday's dinner and Tuesday's lunch. Breakfast is "whatever you can scrounge, if anything" most days. And nope, she's American at leas...
