Zombie Squad

1 dead, 3 wounded, shooter captures alive. Rat f*** was your prototypical alt-right hater. :vmad: He claimed credit for a recent mosque arson, and had a manifesto filled with the usual "They will not replace us" rhetoric. The news is reporting that an off duty border patrol officer took a shot at hi...

I saw the movie a while back. It was one of the better developed z-poc movies. The character development reminded me of "Lord of the Flies", and there were some good points about fitness and improvising. As far the tear-jerker , that's just Korean cinema. Every Korean drama I've seen has at least on...

Target/field archery. Peripheral vision on the glasses. Recurve barebow. Push/pull closed form with three under, my index finger anchored in front of my upper bicuspid, and my head drooped to align the string with the outside of the riser. Target is barely inside my current prescription glasses (hal...

My age is catching up with me. After 30+ years of getting by with single vision lenses, I now need bifocals/progressive lenses. Question for a any other archers out there. How did you deal with the peripheral vision problems from progressive lenses? I have a decent astigmatism, so off the shelf read...

It's been 6 months, and I figure I can last another 3. Both cars are paid off, and I did qualify for Medicaid. If I had to pay for medical I would be almost broke by now. Things I would have done differently. Find a McJob right off the bat. Ridesharing pays almost as well as welfare. I'm to old to s...

Another SHTF scenario, but one that most people will face at least once in their lives.
You're out of work
You didn't qualify for any government assistance
What do you do and how long do you think you'll last before you start selling off retirement account, house, hobbies, etc. to make ends meet.

Tier 1: Bear spray or or high pressure pepper foam with repeating tranq gun. Hey, those animals are expensive! Tier 2: Ruger 4" GP100 loaded with .357 hard cast. Mossberg 590 with ammo suitable to exhibit. BB for compys, poison load steel penetrators for large predators. Tier 3: M60 machine gun with...

It can be found on Pirate Bay Torrent though.
You can get the US Survival manual as a free download from a lot of sites and then just print it if you want hard copy.

It's good advice, and you won't be breaking any copyright laws.

Rule#1. I am in charge. There's God, Chuck Norris, and then me. Helpful suggestions and constructive criticism are welcome. But, this is not a democracy. My word is final. Rule #2. Be nice. You're already fucked, or you wouldn't be here. Don't make things worse. I'm not going to list what constitute...

There are a number of USB rechargeable lanterns intended as camping and tent lights. The names I recognize are Thorfire, Nitecore, Streamlight, and Fenix. Fenix offers the greatest battery versatility, but at the highest cost. You can also go old school with UCO candle lanterns. Batteries not requir...

The USAF owns up the recordation error. Not that it means anything at this point in time. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/11/06/us/texas-shooting-church.html Figured it had to be something like that. :( At least they had the b***s to take responsibility for it. In this day and age, that says something.

I was tuning my bow with a new string today when I chanced upon a bit of primitive technology that is applicable to homemade and survival arrows. I was bareshaft tuning at 5 yards to set the rest and the nock height. My bareshaft arrows have the fletchings stripped off, and I wrap tape where the fle...

Update on the dog tags. They got an IRL test when DD wandered off in the middle of a fire station open house. She found the check in desk and showed them her tag. One phone call later and all was well.

Somehow discussing this on Friday the 13th this close to Halloween is putting me in the mood for a good "Yellowstone blowing up movie". Holy crap :oh: Is that a thing ? :awesome: :awesome: Two made for TV movies. Super Volcano in 2005 and Super Eruption in 2011 http://m.imdb.com/title/tt0419372/ ht...

I hate to say it, but the idea isn't entirely infeasible. Provided you don't actually bore into the magma chamber, there are cobalt and nickle superalloys that could take the pressure and temperatures necessary for it to work. Just don't ask what it will cost to make a downhole heat exchanger out of...

Pull the night stand out from the wall a little bit and attach a cheap cordura holster to the back of. No drawers or boxes to open, just reach behind and grab it. Or under it if you can attach to the underside of the top. I was thinking the same thing. But, you'll have to cut away part of the drawe...

From a CNN Article: http://www.cnn.com/2017/10/02/us/las-vegas-attack-stephen-paddock-trnd/index.html The suspicion, based on initial reports, is that at least one of the rifles used was altered to function as an automatic weapon, the official said. Among the weapons found were a .223 caliber and a...

I found this, and I'm curious if anybody has played with DIY bug out tents. https://youtu.be/BPAOlPNwtw4

The guts to a music box? I saw that film too. But, 50 years into the PAW, any decent musician or storyteller is going to be in demand. Early flutes and whistles, percussion, and maybe some string instruments will be around. So, it stands that kids versions will also be around. Low tech games like c...

For your scenario, I would look at the cut and slash resistant safety clothing used by glass fabricators. I'd trust certified textiles over a thin scrim of buffed leather. If you're dead set on leather, I suggest you learn how to build boiled leather lamellar armor. EDIT: I checked to see how hard a...

If it was close to what the math says you should expect then that's that I guess. It just seems there's way more energy left in the bullets after hitting the target than the shot.. Could the lesser speed of the shot, and therefore longer contact with the target, mean a higher percentage of energy t...

There are a number of compound bows with exceptionally large range of weight and draw length adjustment. The typical bow has a 10-20 lb weight range, say 50-70 lbs, and 3-4 inches of draw length adjustment. These can go from 5-70 lbs and 15-30 inches of draw. Most of them are sold as adolescent bows...

Combine it with a Tong'ah (Korean overdraw), and make the magazines replaceable, and you've got a technological jump comparable to the metallic cartridge.

Imagine if it would've hit the earth instead. Relatively small meteors can do tremendous damage. https://www.theburningplatform.com/2017/07/08/massive-meteor-strikes-moon/ A meteor with the explosive power of ten cruise missiles has struck the Moon – sparking a massive explosion visible with the na...
