Surviving the Apocalypse: loose lips sink ships

- December 02, 2015

OK I know most people under 50 wont even know what that means so hears another way to say it....Keep your mouth shut or you'll die! I love how people go on Youtube or forums and happily detail all the cool stuff they have for when SHTF. Or better show their bug out locations, detail their plans, and in general give a inventory of their supplies. Come on how dumb is that? Do you think because you don't show your face of give exact directions to your stash that there wont be someone who can figure it out? That you can't be followed or tracked? Or that the government can't find you with a few key strokes? Maybe you just tell a few friends or family members...now they don't seem interested but believe me when things go pear shaped they will remember every word you have said and will be knocking on your door expecting a share at best, or knocking you in the head and taking it all at worst. Keep what you have to yourself and maybe you'll have it when you need it.

Surviving the Apocalypse: Plan for long term survival

- July 23, 2015

While that 72 hr survival kit you picked up on the internet is really cool, in a apocalypse it's going to last exactly 72 hrs. Not a real great survival time. Things like space blankets, tube tents and survival bars are great for a short term crisis, not the end of the world as we know it. So when you are getting your kit together look for things that will be useful in the long term. This doesn't always have to cost a fortune, but it does take common sense and imagination. Instead of space blankets get some surplus wool ones. Instead of a Mylar tube tent pick up a couple of good quality tarps that you can use to make a shelter that will last weeks not days. Yes it will cost a few dollars more and it wont fit in your pocket but it might be the difference between 72 hours and life.

HP Lovecraft

- August 31, 2019

I watched a video (about a RPG Call of Cthulhu) today where the person doing the video kept bringing up the fact that HP Lovecraft was a racist, and making it a reason not to like his work. OK HP was a racist, so what? So was everyone else at the time he lived, that doesn't make him evil or good it just makes him a product of his time. I get so incredibly tired of today's generations judging people who lived decades, even centuries ago by today's "standards". I'm sorry people, but everyone is sculpted by the times they live in, and for people today to judge them is no less bigoted than those they are judging. What HP was, is xenophobic in a clinical sense. He grew up in a broken home where his father died in a sanitarium from complications of syphilis. He was raised by a obsessive mother who in today's world would more than likely been diagnosed with Munchhausen syndrome. He was at the very least verbally abused, she referred to him as Ugly, Deformed, Hid...
