My Stranded Bag

by Ron on January 19, 2010 · 1 comment

I’ve wanted to have a Bug Out Bag (B.O.B), aka a Get Out Of Dodge (G.O.O.D) bag for a while now. I’ve even posted about it before, but I never really did it. Today I put it in my truck for real. One of the keys to getting it done was deciding what I wanted [...]

Emergency By Neil Strauss Review

by Ron on March 19, 2009 · 3 comments

Last night I finished Neil Strauss’ new book Emergency so I thought I’d write a review. The book was not what I expected. Let me back up a second. As you know I greatly like Neil’s book The Game about the secret underground of Pick Up Artists. Most people say it is about how to [...]

Emergency

by Ron on March 5, 2009 · 1 comment

I mentioned Neil Strauss’ new book Emergency in my last post, but I wanted to talk about why I was gung-ho about it and why I pre-ordered it.

What If You Had To Walk Home

by Ron on March 5, 2007 · 13 comments

I stumbled across the novel Lights Out (PDF Download) today and I’m three pages in and already had an interesting thought. The book is about the US after an EMP blast, and starts with two characters at work. They realize quickly that their cars don’t work because of the pulse (I wonder if my no [...]

Is Black Gear A Good Idea?

by Ron on January 16, 2007 · 3 comments

If you are shopping for gun or survival gear most of it is black. Is that a good idea? I thought about it the first time I dropped my black pocket knife at night. Black is hard to see in the day on a dark background, and its neigh impossible at night. So as I’ve [...]

Silly String to Detect Trip Wires

by Ron on December 4, 2006 · 0 comments

Time is reporting that Marines in Iraq are using Silly String – the party favor in a can – to detect trip wires. They spray the string – which is really a foam – into a door way and it catches on the foam without tripping the device. Cool.
