Zombie Squad

I dunno, gang. I'm on the fence. My last patrol in OEF, we rolled out and I left my M4 in amber. The truck got hit in a close-range complex attack and disabled in the kill zone. When I dismounted, still in amber, it took maybe a millisecond to chamber a round. Not saying that's the way to do it, jus...

Rain started but only at a steady drizzle and if it stays that way we'll be fine.

About that nasty cut on Rick's hand:

Wow. The forecasters told us to brace for rain the next couple days but that map looks much more ominous than what I expected. Thanks for posting.

I like that green roof!

I haven't watched yet but last night I could tell the moment something happened because Twitter literally broke. People posting, "Oh, no!" and "I can't believe that happened!" I was like, "Yup, that's gotta be Glenn."

I'll watch the episode tonight. Here's a message from the showrunner. Methinks we haven't seen the last of Glenn.

But I know all my "go bag" clothing will be ultra heavy brush busting clothing. I don't know if that is a "good idea" or just "my style." It's probably great for your environment and skill set. And that's the most important aspect of any kit. Likewise, my clothes are more urban, even though I can a...

Trekking clothing looks like trekking clothing. Not really feasible for business casual offices. However, gym bags are a common sight. Indeed and a change of clothes is a great addition for something like a GHB. The trick, I've found, is not to shop for trekking clothing. Rather, travel clothing. T...

I've slowly been revamping my clothes into a capsule wardrobe system. It's pricey and done in stages, but there's a lot of stuff from ExOfficio, Columbia, etc. that functions in the woods as well as the street. The idea is that, in the event of a catastrophe, I'll almost always be wearing the same c...

Latest updates report little damage. Rain still a concern.

Early video of the landfall looks particularly nasty.

Oh, fracking c'mon, people. This precisely is why we can't have nice things.

Why not? The idea kinda reminds me of this classic:

Pretty sweet find, me thinks. Something for the blade fans.

Oh, it's totally practical for civilian hikers, especially if you don't have a change of dry clothes. It was an interesting read. Thanks for posting.

Or they could've taken turns pulling security while changing into dry clothes and eating a hot MRE then moved out back on mission in 30 mins instead of spending miserable, vulnerable hours shivering in wet gear. I get what the instructor was trying to convey, and it was an interesting article, but I...

Yup. I just rewatched the scene. No shooting.

Could've swore he shot a couple walkers to clear the car door. Oh, well. Thanks for clearing that up.

I recall Morgan using firearms to save Daryl and Aaron from the car and, of course, to shoot at Rick in the town. I get the impression the new Morgan tries to save his bullets for the walkers.

Highly likely, from this update, the now-deceased biter was a drug mule: http://www.rte.ie/news/2015/1019/735776-aer-lingus-death/ A post-mortem examination on the body of a 24-year old Brazilian man who died on an Aer Lingus flight from Lisbon to Dublin last night has been completed. A number of pa...

Great contest, gang. Honored to share the podium with some true outdoorsmen. Many thanks, Woods Walker, for doing this. I'll PM my address soon.

I'd put money on the dipshit looking to settle a minor slight.

Edit to add: But since it's Florida, entirely possible someone thought it was the real ZPAW and went full Shane on the crowd.

I used to be the night crime reporter at the Fort Myers paper. This was about 11 years ago and even then that city was like the Wild West. What's news about this shooting is that it took place downtown. The police usually kept a tight reign on the area so the tourists and their money wouldn't get sc...
