So I was sitting here doing a little research on healthy diets like vegetarianism, cave man diets, the Eden diet, and so forth. This inquiry led me to a tribe of people in Northern Pakistan call the Hunza people who never get cancer. When the tribe was discovered their average age at death was 160; […]
Likely Car Problems
I’m not known for keeping my cars up to date on services; although my wife does a good job of it. But personal faults and shortcomings are a good reason to do a little research and inspire personal changes and adjustments. In my case work is just over a mile away, so I’m not concerned […]
Travel Tip
I figured it’s time to post another bright idea for the day. Jon
The Yellowstone Caldera
So what happens if and when the Yellowstone Caldera pops its top? I got curious and dug in to do a little research. There is no doubt that volcanic explosions in the past have had not just a local, but also a global wide detrimental effect. Some of the more notable explosions in recorded history […]
Shotguns and Home Defense
I saw this great video and had to share it. Right now my primary home defense weapon is a 12 gauge shotgun which I have temporarily acquired from my brother. One day when he takes it back I’ll have to convince my wife I need another firearm. I don’t worry about brands so much because […]
Smaller UAV Defeat
For conspiracy theorists and regular civilians alike the fear of drones is on the rise. While US citizens have been killed overseas in drone strikes without trial, it is unlikely we’ll see anything like that in the US until the matter really hits the fan. But it is also well documented that the NSA has […]
Primitive Shelter
This really is the easiest shelter you can build. The idea is to literally pile as much stuff on as possible to help weatherproof and insulate the shelter. It is intentionally left small so you can maximize the effects of body heat by not heating a large area. If you have a little bit of […]
French Fried Frog Legs
I spent a couple of years living in the Philippines on Samar and Leyte. The Jungles were some of the most beautiful lush I’ve ever seen and the environment exposed me to a whole new range of exotic cuisine. While food can seem odd and non-appetizing in some regions of the world, this is hardly […]
Fire Facts
If you are like me then having batteries in your smoke detectors makes you feel quite safe and prepared to handle a home fire. Being overzealous I’d even purchased two fire extinguishers; although my family had never practiced or even talked about fire drills. In the past I’ve been fortunate not to have been involved […]
Find North
What’s the most dangerous thing in the military? A Lieutenant with a compass. Anyway, bad joke aside, let’s take a quick look at finding your navigational direction; assuming you do not have a compass but know roughly in which way civilization lies. If you’re not sure which way to go, typically downhill is your best […]
