The next weed to try out this summer rather than throwing it in the rubbish bin; yes I know we say trash can here in the US but I prefer rubbish; is one that will blow your mind for the nuecence you’ve probably considered it. There are roughly forty varieties currently cultivated around the world; […]
Urban/Guerrilla Sniping
The word “Snipe” is a verb defined as “shooting at someone from a hiding place, esp. accurately and at long range.” This term is used very broadly today for any king of semi accurate, semi ranged fire; regardless of training or skill level. I prefer the term “sharp shooting” for a person of a moderate […]
Lamsquarters
Here are some excerpts from a great little article I read that I highly recommend you read. Like most of you I’ve been fairly ignorant of this plant that is a phenomenal urban foraging base. A common annual weed related to quinoa and spinach that can grow up to 6′ tall. Blooms from June through […]
Nullification?
I try avoiding politics on this website, but this was a great read and gives me hope that common sense will reign supreme and has a place in our floundering nation. If you remember nothing else, know that others share your views and are fighting for your rights. Jon 2904-Nullification-Sheriffs__Legislators_1
Clover
While surprising, those luck clovers are actually edible; and the best part is they’re found just about everywhere there’s an open grassy area. And while there are few pastures in the Arctic, clover grows from the top of the earth to the bottom and all around, nearly every location on the rotation. You can spot […]

Typically, it is a net or cloth garment covered in loose strips of burlap, cloth or twine, sometimes made to look like leaves and twigs, and optionally augmented with […]
LuminAID
My wife shared this with me and I was quite impressed; partially because it’s a clever simple idea, but also because I have a soft spot in my heart for these already struggling people that get pounded again and again in these off the beaten path locations. I spent several years in the Philippines so […]
Surviving a Plane Crash
All the stats in this article deal with commercial airliners, not military or personal aircraft. This article also deals specifically with fixed wing not rotary wing aircraft (that means planes and not helicopters). And if you read all the way to the bottom you’ll find some inside humor if you enjoyed Fight Club. Ben Sherwood’s […]
Detroit
I love taking a glimpse into the possible apocalypse. We find ourselves surrounded by cities that seem eternal, and populated regions that appear as though they will always continue to expand and grow. What does it look like when the world we’ve built crumbles around us? I want to draw your attention to a real […]

Jon FM 90-8 APPENDIX C Ambush Patrols Section I. General C-1. Purpose of ambushes. The ambush patrols discussed in this appendix are combat patrols […]
