Along with a little learned knowledge over the years I’ve pulled from a number of sources for this bit on acorns as they summed up beautifully the information at hand. As always, references are down below. If you are like me then you parents probably didn’t understand the potential value of this little nut; which […]
Combat Gauze
A good buddy of mine was hunting. While coming down a slope he slipped, fell, and a sharp stone punctured his thigh. While obviously not life threatening he quickly experienced profuse bleeding. It just so happened he had a product on his person that many troops overseas at the time were carrying. In this case […]
The Axe
Those of you who know me, know that one of the few things I love more than machetes are axes; especially tomahawks and similar sized hatchets. I’m also slightly OCD and enjoy building data bases. So here goes, definitions, a little history, some large axes and some small axes and what their functionality is…aside from […]
Forging Your Own Stuff
The other day I was watching a documentary on Viking ship building and other clinker built boats and I saw a rad tool they were using to work the wood. I thought to myself “I need one of those.” So today, after work, I went out to the forge and made one…well I started, and […]
Happy People
I the request of my brother-in-law I watched one of the most fascinating documentaries I’ve seen in some time.

Yujiapu & Xiangluo Bay
Time for a few more images of the apocalyptic future. I love images of the world of humanity falling apart. In this case an entire city, modeled after our very own Manhattan was built and never occupied. These images come from China. According to Zhang Peng the unfinished buildings and vacant streets in Xiangluo Bay. […]
How Much Magnification do I Need?

No changes have been made to the content. Jon FEBRUARY 28, 2006 How much magnification do I need? That is a question many people ask when searching for a scope. Everyone has […]
Back to Basics
My brother sent me this book review; and while I’m pretty sure he wrote it, I don’t know so. As he is currently overseas and not readily available for calls due to his current military posting I’m gonna run it and assume he is the author until he confirms or corrects me. I love this book […]
