I was watching Snow Piercer the other day and thought the ending was pretty cool. I love the whole Asiatic Inuit look to the survivors and the polar bear in the arctic setting. The whole scene made me think about the Inuit culture that did, and still to some degree, exists in the harsh […]
Muscle Memory
What is muscle memory? Muscle memory has been used to describe the observation that various muscle-related tasks seem to be easier to perform after previous practice, even if the task has not been performed for a while. It is as if the muscles “remember”. There I am in the desert, a wounded man is screaming […]

I’m afraid I cannot remember who sent this great info to me. Relatives have told me that making your own soap is more of a nuisance that it is worth in our day and age. The being said; what happens if things get turned end over end? Poor hygiene has led to countless deaths in […]
Notes on Knives
While I don’t have quite the same affection for knives that I do for axes; though it’s close; I have a pretty good collection that ranges from authentic neolithic flint knives to KA-BARs, bayonets, and combat folders.

He said he loves the lemony flavor and grows domesticated versions in his yard. A little research together and we found some […]
