Words fail me, but his contributions to our understanding of the outdoors and bushcraft bestow him some immortality. Enjoy the hike Woods Walker.

Nervous troops who shoot first are nothing new, OBTW Navy AAW doctrine in the 80's was "shoot - shoot - look - shoot" Meaning two birds off the rail followed by a radar check and follow up shot if the first two didn't splash the target. Don't forget that a then top of the line warship, the USS VINCE...

Growing consensus Ukraine jetliner shot down by Iranian forces

https://youtu.be/S1eb4djGNOs

It has been confirmed. Two SA-15 TOR surface to air missiles fired in error. An Iranian actually tweeted an image of the nose cone of one of the missiles from near the crash site.

This is a huge escalation. Look for a cyber attack in response.

This could have been fun, they could have even gotten around the politically correct integrated troops with a 10 second scene about a special hand picked unit (like the Dirty Dozen), but this is a slow paced, illogical pile of crap devoid of wit, humor, pacing or scares.

Now it seems like events in Virginia, among other things, are giving new impetus to existing preppers, and causing more newbies to take stock of their ability to ride out a storm.

There have been no disasters in Virginia, natural or otherwise, in the last three months.

I burned through season 4 this weekend. I was wanting more. My only complaint was that liberated from the standards and practices of basic cable, they went overboard with Secretary General Avrasarala dropping F-bombs.

I think your biggest liability is that you have such a dim view of your neighbors. It has been said in numerous other threads, and I'm paraphrasing, "that no man is an island." Your best preps are cultivating relationships with your neighbors. Neighbors that will stand with you when the shambling ho...

Sounds great. Go ahead and plant corn in your raised bed, but for everything else use growing walls.

Images are too big to post here.

Netflix gave Michael Bay a lot of money to make a movie for them. He did. However, it lacks the sly satire of Deadpool. If I knew the amazing car stunts were done using practical effects and stunt people I would be impressed, like I was with Mad Max: Fury Road. Sadly I must hand the crown to Michael...

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...
