I like mine, I carry it everyday and have had it for years. I use a rechargeable ( eneloop ) AAA in it.

Our county system uses a siren/ text to phone system with radio/ TV as backup. I was blissfully watching streaming TV for the NCAA Tournament when the sirens went off. My phone was two rooms away set on vibrate. The federal government bought everybody here Weather Alert Radios ( https://midlandusa....

The main character goes on to write spam bots for online forums, wildly viewed as a less moral action then his previous murders.

Crazy. We had a wild flea infestation earlier in the year, and I thought it would be an amusing short story, similar to the one above. Maybe in the style of daily journal entries. We retreated to our uninfested portion of our house, and lived like we were camping. Well, really nice camping with a ho...

I'm pretty sure he is local to me and I remember a couple of the silos in Arkansas being for sale around the time he bought his. Here is some information about Titan II silo's in Arkanas: http://www.encyclopediaofarkansas.net/encyclopedia/entry-detail.aspx?entryID=2266 And here is a map of of all of...

You know how when you see those Nuclear Missle Silo's for sale and you think "That would be fun, but so much money and effort and I would likely kill myself". I ran across a post on reddit about a guy rehabbing his very own nuclear missile silo. He doesn't update very much but it is very entertainin...

Random homedepot end cap clearance varies from $1 off something that wasn't worth full price to start with to "Hey, want a fluke clamp mater for $8"

I have an '88 chevy truck and it's been worked on by everyone and their brother throughout the years, so you never know what your going to find.

Anyway, I had a positive battery cable against the exhaust. It would short out when it got hot, but only when it was hot. It was initially very mysterious.

You can make/buy washable toilet paper too. It could be argued that it works better then the paper stuff.

Mutant Kangaroos agree with your plan.

There are also the paslode combustible gas guns, not that I would consider them a firearm.

Do you have a couple of examples of that? Last time I looked at mutual funds was during and shortly after the 2008 thing, so the 20 year returns were pretty awful.

I agree. Ironically I think the biggest overlooked item for overall prepping is a simple N95 mask. I have one of these for drywall, sanding etc.. http://www.uline.com/Product/Detail/H-1081/Dust-Masks-and-Respirators/3M-6200-Half-Face-Respirator-Medium?pricode=WY586&gadtype=pla&id=H-1081&gclid=COuEh...

My understanding is that you can use radios that are "type accepted" for your band. So your band is part 90 CFR 47 according to my googling, which means you could use this radio, but not some other Chinese non type accepted radio: http://www.wouxun.us/item.php?item_id=295 That is my very vague under...

I've had this happen as a passenger and I yelled at the driver "What did you do!?". It was accompanied by the car lurching forward, because we had been rear-ended, but I didn't put that together for a few seconds.

The ACQ wood turns a shade of green when treated. The above ground CCA stuff can be a little harder to spot, but it also changes color. None of that wood looks treated to me. This is more what your treated wood looks like.

Here is a website about charging lead acid batteries. http://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/charging_the_lead_acid_battery The tl'dr is that you need a charge controller that understands you are looking for float charge.

I have trouble believing the claims of water filter marketing.

Sawyer and Berkey both don't seem to have NSF certification and the independent labs they used never seem as independent as they could be.

All you have to do is switch the main breaker off when backfeeding. But it must be as ingrained as safe gun handling. ALWAYS TURN MAIN BREAKER OFF WHEN BACKFEEDING GENERATOR!!! Make signs with above and put one on the genny and one on the breaker box. You really want a double pole breaker transfer ...

I'm more interested to see if there's more work being done to attempt to induce (reintroduce?) magnetoception in humans without implanting magnets. I know magnetosensitive proteins have been found in humans, and there was a hypothesis that human are either developing magnetoception or lost it in th...

The new Kleen Kanteen sport caps are vastly improved over the old design. They don't squeal when you drink out of them, and you can drink all you want.

Maybe organize some sort of Crime Watch neighborhood thing?
