Re: Shots fired at Oregon Community College
Funny you should mention that but there is a pretty strong correlation to having a girlfriend / wife and conducting mass murder/shooting. Really if you think about it that is not surprising. People invested in society are less likely to try to tear it down. The less you have invested in the world t...

Re: What to carry when your job prohibits weapons?
1) MagLite ML300L LED 3-Cell D. As a manager, you should have a decent flashlight anyway in case of emergency. If you can find a bigger 4D-5D light, more power to you. 2) Sturdy bottle holder with short strap. Fill with assorted desk junk (paperweights, ceramic coffee cup, chintzy awards, full water...

Re: Sept 23: what's the big deal?
September 23rd is this year's Yom Kippur, the annual Jewish Day of Atonement, Hebrew year 5776. There is no link to the End of Days. It is when G-d inscribes who will have a good (or bad, live or die) coming year in the Book of Life. The really ironic thing is that the Jewish End of Days is a Heaven...

Re: Crowd crush during Hajj in Mecca
My takeaway: avoid big crowds, especially fervent crowds of the type found at religious pilgrimage destinations, political rallies and protests, pop concerts, and holiday sales events . Are you thinking about the Long Island Walmart 2008 incident? Doubly this due to the tendency of people in crowds...

Re: Boat vs Plane - What would you choose?
Unless I had a very defensible BOL already stocked, I'd put my money on a blue water sailboat. A decent long range cruiser will cost the same as a decent twin and much less then a helicopter, but can carry much more cargo for longer spells. Staying a 500-1000 miles off shore will discourage most tro...

Re: What would you do if your house was squatted??
If it's less then 30 days (CA law), they're not squatters, they're trespassers. First call to the cops, second call to the brute squad. If over 30 days set up weekly inspections and keep logs. First call to the cops, second call to the lawyers, third to the brute squad. For that matter, you can requ...

Re: California Wildfires vs Prepper
For fire resistant structures, without going outside the mainstream, look at the southern California building codes. Composite shingles, closed eaves, and stucco walls are not style choices, but the results of expensive lessons. Fires driven by gale force winds tend to find weaknesses in any firepro...

Re: Sticks and stones may break zombie skulls...
The ice axe and cold steel comments brought back some memories from days past. The first was the "walking" instead of technical ice axe. A climbing spike and adze on top and spike with basket on the bottom. Replacing the bottom spike with a rubber foot or carbide spike would make it a suitable walki...

1) Massive shopping trip to stock up on food, medical equipment, generators, gasoline and treatment, hand tools, materials for fortifications, etc. Unless I'm badly out of date, I believe that the waiting period would preclude being able to obtain firearms within 72 hours. Otherwise, shotguns. 2) Wa...

Sticks and stones may break zombie skulls...
Has anybody given thought to (hiking) sticks, and stones as a way to de-animate some Zeds at a relatively safe distance? When I talking about hiking sticks, I mean the traditional hardwood (hickory, oak, ash, hopbeam, etc.) hiking sticks about 4 1/2 feet long. Not the modern aluminum and composite t...
