It is all according to the prophecy!

(watch as the above comment is taken seriously)

I've been under the assumption that they were renovating the Notre Dame church for like the past couple years. I wonder if this fire could've been the result of a work incident and not something more sinister. Anyway, here's hoping they can get the fire contained before any more of the structure is...

At least its symbolic heart - Notre Dame Cathedral. More details to follow as this is an unfolding story. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/04/15/world/europe/notre-dame-fire.html?action=click&module=Top%20Stories&pgtype=Homepage https://cdn.images.express.co.uk/img/dynamic/78/590x/notre-dame-fire-cathed...

Welcome to ZombieSquad. Tons of knowledge among the forum membership and yes, the people here are friendly and helpful. A very broad range of interests/expertise as well. I have an elderly father who lives in Sarasota, Florida. My brothers and I had a very stressful time when hurricane Irma hit a ye...

Those Swiss government officials will belatedly reconsider the definition of "essential for survival" when pitchfork-wielding, caffeine-deprived mobs storm their offices during the next major disaster.

Their fateful last words: "Let them drink tea."

From EmmyMadeInJapan, one of my favorite YT food reviewers. Enjoyable if you don't take the zombie tie-in concept too seriously. Some of the commenters are right on about the noisy mylar outer bag however.

The solution to these and all food insecurity problems is simple.

Welcome to the forums. As in many things in life, we all could learn a lot from our elders about prepping for challenging times. As Halfpint points out, planning around being part of a like-minded community that stays put, rather than bugging out as a lone wolf, is almost always the best approach.

I read that maybe as many a one million head of cattle drowned in NE. This is expected to greatly increase beef prices. In our capitalist system the ammo market expectation = reality. FIFY. Sorry, couldn't resist. Other markets sometimes show a surprising lack of price elasticity. But every supply ...

Welcome to Zombiesquad, glad you've stepped out of the shadows, so to speak. Yep, as a matter of principle (and forum rules) we try our best to leave politics out of our discourse here. While it's often not too hard to figure out a particular participant's political leanings, we want to keep this co...

Welcome to the forums. I've been enjoying your fiction. I spent about 5 months living in Galway in the early 1990s and bicycled all over: the Burren, Connemara, counties Mayo, Sligo, and Leitrim. Beautiful country and beautiful people.

Awesome write up and pictures. Those shots of the ice on the yurt window and the whiskey jack on the pulk are beautiful! Are you going to return your nuked Style back to Leatherman for a warranty replacement? That's part of what you're paying for with a Leatherman.

Welcome to the forums. Based on your military and LEO background, I'm sure you'll have plenty to contribute.

For the 90 cubic tank it took me about two and a half minutes from 3000 to 4500. The 68 cubic foot tank took me about the same amount of time from 500 PSI to about 1,500 PSI. I filled the reservoir in my hot sun in about a minute and a half. Most of these jobs are topping off existing tanks. They'r...

Latest from NPR: More Than 20 Killed After A Series Of Deadly Tornadoes Hits Alabama This is a developing story. Like most NPR news stories, I forget I've even heard them on my morning commute until someone brings it up during the day. (That triggered recall effect also has the enviable side effect...

News accounts report it was a monster. Little warning, EF-3, broad swath and it touched down in exactly the wrong spot.

Fire or ice. Danger either way. I'm getting a Lil' Buddy as soon as I can. More wool blankets. It's -3F right now. This does NOT include wind chill. I'd be ok, but I worry about my cat. :( This scenario sucks. In part, because it could easily happen. Sleeping with pets has proven helpful for me in ...

You'd have to ask Rinnai why they designed it that way. It's electronic ignition and I'm assuming the lack of a pilot light has something to do with safety. As to hacking in a battery powered fan, I don't think the landlord would be too happy about my doing that. Is it direct wired? If not a batter...

You guys are basically discussing my winter heating preps. I don't live in an apartment, but I might as well be: it's a very small (600 sq feet) rented house in rural Maine. Basically a cabin. The structure's sole heating system is a Rinnai direct wall vent propane heater. The Rinnai relies on hous...

The dive tanks get put in a tub of water when filling them. but that's just for the heat that gets generated. They need to be inspected, especially the aluminum ones, for safety to prevent catastrophes.

Did someone say 'catastrophe'?

Yeah, it's the same reason I don't own a PCP either - it's a significant investment.

So...I got a little tired of pumping up my PCP with pumps and my small bottles are great but inconvenient when I run out of air. I considered ordering a Nomad II compressor from Pyramid Air at $600+. I read failure rates on them were about the same for the Nomad and the only felt the Yong Heng air ...
