Can’t afford a tropical paradise on the beach?  Why not build one?  I always enjoy an innovative idea, when I remembered reading about this guy a few years ago.  I think I was looking into artificial islands and how far from shore they had to be to be in international waters or some such silliness.  […]

 Below you’ll find a little knowledge from the past on nuclear weapons.  If you are interested in the subject matter feel free to check them out. I’ve got a whole bunch of these and I’ll share a few more in the future. Jon Army Manual – Cm5206b – Nuclear Weapons Effects Comparitive Nuclear Effects of […]

I’m a man, and I’m proud to be a man.  Unfortunately it is very politically incorrect to be a man these days; especially a white, Christian, straight, conservative gun owning man.  Television and the internet destroy what men are; reducing us to idiots and mediocracy.  They tell us our society needs to become more androgynous […]

Spending my early years growing up in a city, prior to moving to the farm, my first experiences with the outdoors and outdoor living began with cub and boy scouts.  I remember the first time I learned knots, shot a bow, fired a rifle, or went on my first father son camp out.  I loved […]

Most of us can agree that ACUs have limited practical applications; I’ve found they do okay in Iraq, some urban environments, are really good in sage brush, and that’s about it.  I was looking for some ideas for getting value out of some old uniforms, and after reading about a few experiments in dying uniforms […]

Having been so impressed with the book Deep Survival by Laurence Gonzales I felt a need to share an excerpt verbatim from the Appendix.  I shared a few personal thoughts and reviews on this book a while back and recommend that you read it.  I have never read a finer book on the psychology of […]

Be still and know that I am God.  Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.  And lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. (Psalms 46:10, John 14:27, Matthew 28:20) I’m a religious man, but I’ve never begrudged a man (or woman) the right to live […]

I primarily did a little snooping because of all the hype gun violence is getting these days, and wanted to see what the numbers really looked like. These stats are a few years old, but from what I’ve found they still accurately reflect trends in the US, despite slight fluctuations. For your curiosity, but not […]

Going the distance in boots (combat, work, or hiking to name a few) that haven’t been properly broke in can leave you feeling they way I did after backpacking with the scouts in my classy chucks; sore footed and blistered. Ironically I did the same thing the next year with the scouts. When I was […]

The only thing better than a win is a good fail. Here are my top camo fails so far…I’ll add to it as I find more. And a special thanks to North Korea and the outstanding Army Combat Uniform (ACU), I had to limit their fails.
