Zombie Squad

A lot of good advice has already been given. I will add a little more which I hope will be just as valuable. Make sure the carless child has a bicycle. If they have room for it in their apartments or dormitories, the basic camping gear of hiking boots tent or tarp sleeping bag and suitable clothing....

Ok Cool thanks . Do I still have to watch it folding laundry?

No, you can do it while ironing.

I don't find anything about a movie called EMP feature length. Have you got a link? Is it a short movie cause it doesn't take me long to fold my laundry . I guess I could watch it over several weeks of folding. Or do I NOT have to watch it while folding?( Don't think I've ever seen a movie that req...

This is a modestly made, slow paced independent film about an 11 year old girl surviving through an EMP apocalypse. Things progress logically and rationally with prepping flashbacks. Watch while folding laundry.

Mexico?

Sorry, I couldn't resist. Try your local PierOne store.

Tae Ora! New Zealand, hands down.

Watched this last night. Loved it. Songs were great.

Iran, hit by massive anti-regime unrest, has virtually shut down the nation's entire Internet. There's a lesson to be learned here for any peppers who are counting on using the Internet to communicate to friends and family, or maintain situational awareness, during a crisis. https://english.alarabi...

Explained is a Netflix documentary series co-produced with Vox. This is season 2 and episode seven dropped last Thursday. It is a tidy 20 minute documentary that gives a great history of past pandemics, an excellent analysis of how SAR spread in an apartment building (I would have never guessed) and...

A great coda to a great series.

Listening to Jessie recite his background as Mr. Driscoll got me thinking about how hard it is today to assume a false identity.

Then I did some poking around and learned about synthetic identity theft.

I saw episode 1 Friday night. This is a campy fun derivative of the 1999 New Zealand / British series The Tribe.

I have an ornamental red Japanese maple in the front yard. One morning I came out and it looked like a bear had eaten a bag of Cool Ranch Doritos and crapped under the tree. Turns out it was Hen of the Woods. http://theforagerpress.com/fieldguide/maitake/images/30lbmiatake.jpg It had been raining al...

I poked around and learned that IKEA bags are made from polypropylene and the Walmart tarps are polyethylene.

If I recall, you live in Alaska right? There should be plenty of older people there who used to sew their own clothes. Some of them may still be doing it. In other news, this photographer from Singapore made his own backpack out of one of those blue IKEA shopping bags. Here’s the link. https://rich...

I like it!

I hope it isn't crazy expensive

About $15 a yard. Of course then you need to sew it.

As a herp enthusiast I'm liking this Hexcam Wasteland pattern. https://nobleandblue.files.wordpress.com/2017/10/hexcam-patterns-alliedrisk-named-final.jpg?w=490 https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/61-3ucKPNuL.jpg It looks like gecko (real lizard, not insurance pitchman) skin upclose.

For thirty dollars, just go for it. It is cotton twill, from the 1950s so it should hold the dye quite easily.

When I was kid spending summers in Honduras the campesinos would make similar sandals from car tires but used cordage or leather straps instead of inner tubes. They don't do it anymore because steel belted radials are nearly impossible to cut (as mentioned earlier) with a machete and the availabilit...

[*] Not to in any way, shape, or form, downplay the huge effect Dorian has/is had/having related to the Bahamas. but. I'm a little pissed off that I can't find a single news story excited about dodging some bullets on how it hit us here in the US. It's like a media void unless it's bad news. A lot o...

That said I totally disagree with Stercutus. I never regret fast food

Then you've never eaten at Checkers.

Thanks for asking. It looks like Congress is making the 2020 Defense Authorization Act their first priority. That said, these guys can be their own worst enemy, and the President has a proven record as a wild card. For those not versed in the tribal knowledge and mystic folklore of government, there...

A few years ago there was a fellow on here going to Liberia for a college class. He wanted to know how to hide his daypack. I suggested he visit the girls in his dorm and collect denim scraps from their cut off shorts projects and use some duct tape and burlap to wrap his pack. He said it worked too...

The ones that get me are the RHD vehicles. Who in the hell is gonna drive a right hand drive vehicle?!

Rural postal delivery survivors.

I think 8000 is pretty reasonable for that tricked out Montero.
