Keep it simple stupid: The world has just come to a end, do you really have time to read a 64 page instruction book in Chinese? Heck No. Keep in mind tried an true designs, things like the Zippo, Mora Knives, Maglite. there's a reason they have been around forever. No they may not be tacticool but what works works.

In defense of the Bat'leth

With the new Star Trek series on the horizon and the numerous changes (horrible in my opinion) the show runners have made to the beloved Klingons the topic of the Bat'leth has been bandied about on forums and Youtube recently. A great number of these comments have consisted of words such as stupid, dumb, unusable, and ridiculous. Many making these comments are self proclaimed "experts" and others obviously have never held a edged weapon beyond a Mall Katana and certainly have never held a Bat'leth. While I would never say the Batleth is a great weapon it is far from the useless peice of crap that these so called experts would like to believe. So lets start with a couple of facts about the origin of the Bat'leth. The Bat'leth was created by Dan Curry in 1990 for the character of Worf in TNG, curry was a martial arts practitioner and has said he took inspiration from Deer horn knives,  Curry also developed a fighting style with ritual dance like motions,...

Surviving the Apocalypse: Money, money, money

While it's always good to keep a stash of cash at home, historically when everything goes asses over elbows  currency is more than often devalued or eliminated and replace with some other script by the powers that be. So what are you to do, my suggestion is buy precious metals. They tend to loose less value and sometimes even increase in value... I personally prefer silver over gold. Buying everyday items in a SHTF situation with gold is sort of like walking into a 7-11 with a hundred dollar bill one of two things will happen they wont be able to break it or you'll get robbed. "But how" you ask "I don't have the money for that" well really yes you do. First the cheapest way to get silver is check your change, any coin dime or larger that was made before 1964 is 90 % silver...OK you aren't going to be able to get much this way anymore but it's a start. You can also buy silver online from reputable dealers right now it's selling between $17 and...

Surviving the apocalypse: a couple of things

First another Bug Out Bag Comment: Bug Out Bags should not weigh a ton, common wisdom (at least on youtube) says your bug out should be 10 to 15% of your body weight. OK seriously? That would put my BOB at near 30lbs as I'm a big guy, not fat, not sedentary, just big...Now I hate to tell all the experts out there, but if SHTF and I'm out there on foot, trying to make as little noise as possible, move as fast as possible and travel as far as possible I don't want to be carrying a 30lb. anchor on top of any other items I am carrying outside of my BOB. OK you're a ex-navy seal whose used to trekking with 100lbs of gear, well more power to you that aint me or anyone I know. If you want to load a vehicle with tons of equipment cool, I would too, but if your BOB is for making a quick on foot escape keep it light, because there isn't going to be anyone out there to carry it for you. Secondly: If anyone doesn't know ammo is heavy (there seem to be a lot of people who d...
