Australia did this....go see how well that worked out for everyone.

It is always good to have an "exit" plan.

Are you serious?? You would still eat Salmon after the reports coming in showing the contamination. Feel free to enjoy my share. That goes for Tuna as well.

Maybe in the distant future the Cockroach and Rat will become the new intelligent species on this Planet.
You can only wonder if they would do a worse job than we did.

In the meantime, the good...

I don't think that people really grasp the magnitude of such an event.

I am sure that we have all seen articles and videos about constructing Shelters above ground but few ever talk about the advantages of constructing an underground shelter.
It will take much effort...

In a "Survivalist" situation it is important to plan for not having Electricity and to see the fact that you have power as a bonus that may only last for a while.
These days we all are so dependent...

Dammit, if I suddenly found myself without a Knife I suppose I'd have to wait until Walmart opened. That would be a real inconvenience ....LOL :)

Once in a while I find something that makes me say "Why didn't I think of that"? This is such a simple way to create an ember using a Magnifying Glass................

I was thinking about what Canadian Guerilla said and he raises a good point. Most think of Bugging Out to a location and setting up Camp there. Possibly they already have a place selected with a...

Actually, "So you think you're Tough and could handle a real Bug Out scenario?" wasn't aimed at anyone at all.
It was simply said to encourage people to read the article. It is the most extreme...

Yes size really does count in this case..... personally, I favor a 12 inch diameter Magnifying Glass but rolling it through the woods does look ridiculous

So glad you enjoyed the video...it makes me laugh every time even though I have seen it dozens of times.
If you are feeling down watch the video...I pretty much guarantee it will raise a smile every...

Dems Mericins don't unnerstand das Metric stuff cos dey use da sloppy inch

Personally I use the heavy duty Black Silicone on a Wrist Rocket. The Wrist Rocket is modified so it can be used also as a Sling Bow and for Bow fishing.
You can buy the Black Silicone in 12 foot...

Thanks for your honesty all....I thought it was just me :)

Hi Murph and welcome to the mayhem LOL

Things you need to know:
You cannot mention anything to do with Survival, Survivalism and being a Survivalist.
Do not mention "HONGS" (without the "T") or...

Rick, please tell me you are pressing your tongue hard into the inside of your mouth................

So you think you are Tough and could handle a real Bug Out Scenario??
Then read this account of a Bug out that actually happened and think again.
...

These days most every day is feeling like a lesson in survival

How to start a fire with a Magnifying Glass Video....this explains it all pretty well

I think you can make a spark with Obsidian but have never tried it. As I understand it, anything with a hardness greater than that of the steel you are using in theory should work as you are shaving...

Grizz, I find it hard to stand in judgement of another, especially when I don't know all the facts and know that I am not perfect either nor do I pretend to be.
I too have never lied to get a job...

OK confession time........ I even tried to do it with a piece of dowel in an electric drill.
Would that make it "Modern Primitive"?

Despite far too many failed attempts at starting a fire with a Bow Drill I finally managed to create an ember and make fire from it. Damn it has its difficulties and frustrations!
So I wondered how...
