Good luck with that Jeep, always wanted one of those. I have rebuilt: a 66 CJ5, 66 CJ6 and a 67 Wagoneer.
I really miss that Wagoneer.

Hey I forgot one. Building the Perfect Survival Kit. It's pretty good and has a lot of great ideas.
My reading for the day has been limited to this site and my current Popular Mechanics magazine. I've kept up with those, but I've got about four months of Popular Science to catch up. Additionally, I've been reading a book my father gave me eight years ago when I graduated high school - Making the Most of Life by Leroy Brownlow. There are 26 chapters all based on a letter of the alphabet such as Aims, Beliefs, Courage, Diligence, Endurance, Forgiveness, Growth, etc.
Thanks FVR, I got it for $300 because PO thought the transmission was shot. Fixed that easily and for no $. Now just making sure everything else is up to snuff. It's going to be a trail beater so not going for looks.Quote:

one man's wilderness for the millionth time. i read it about 3-4 times a year.
Shooting to Live by Fairbairn & Sykes for a quick read again. Also Kill or Get Killed by Applegate also again and again. I like their attitude and to find holes in their theories.
I just got the new issue of Backpacker, The Survival Issue. Now I've liked this mag for a long time but I've got to say, this issue lacks a lot.
I sure do miss American Survival Guide.
Currently reading Native American Healing Secrets.
What? No one told me I had to read. Does looking at the pictures count???
When I was a young man, I never looked at the pictures, I would only read Playboy and Penthouse. They had some good writers, with big..........O'yea, right, with large......Aaa, Aaaa...thingie's....now I remember, yea, ideas.:):):)Quote:

Found this:
"Note: Self Reliance Journal went out of business since I wrote this review; extant subscriptions were taken over by Backwoods Home Magazine, which has very similar coverage of say, solar energy and guns. I'll do a proper review of BHM when I get to know it better."

Empire of Debt: The Rise of an Epic Financial Crisis by William Bonner and Addison Wiggi
Great read.
That's it, I'm not sure, but I think subscribers felt like they sold out by changing the name. It only lasted about 6 months after the name change which occured when Y2K was a no-show.Quote:

Right now I'm reading a good old classic. Woodcraft and Camping by George Washington Sears aka Nessmuk. It's an awsome book/
