As Matt Bracken pointed out the other day in his interview, and a position I completely concur with, is that we won't have a mass upheaval and the lights stay on. It's just not happening. Our grid is the most fragile part of our infrastructure, aside from our just-in-time supply system. And since everything is …
Caring for Cast Iron
Stemming from a couple important questions related to my last post, I need to point out a few basics of care for cast iron that may be lost these days. Cast Iron is not plug and play; it takes a bit of care and preparations in order to gain the best results and in the …
A few items to invest in…NOW
It's no secret that arms and ammo get the bulk of attention in survivalist circles. The reality is, as usual, different from perception. The first reality is that while arms and cool guy stuff may be a fun fantasy, being able to eat is a genuine force multiplier. Growing food is tough business and if …
An excellent view of real Guerrilla Life
Vice: Foreigners Fighting ISIS in Syria As a sort of follow up to the last post linking JC Dodge and Jesse James, I thought it relevant to show yet another glimpse of what genuine guerrilla units look like. A guerrilla's life is one of poverty, motivated by the sole recognition that if He fails, his …
From The Virginia Freeman’s Society
Great write up JJ and JC- the cornerstone of a guerrilla movement, as I wrote before, is the recognized collective efficacy towards a common goal. The Left has been doing it for a LONG while now, and the examples mentioned in the US are simply the current machinations. Looking like a wierdo or a SOF …

(Remember how that happened...how …

A Couple of Great Vids from AMRRON
In the Field It's one thing to tell you how, it's another to show it in a video. Watch them both, they're worth your time, especially for the beginners. A note on the gear JJS is using- the Mag Loop antenna, sometimes known as an Alex Loop, is a great design especially concerning digital modes, …
Survival Knives!
One thing that I've found is pretty much universal to all cultures is the love of the knife; aside from Dogs, they're Man's best friend. Particularly to Americans, we have a certain myth behind what a knife should be. We all know it too- the Bowie. The reality is, like normal, a little different. For …
Ignorance-34, this is Dumb**s-13, over
More great first hand interviews from where things are quite real. Particular note: "– You told, that during the fight on February 8 you listened to the enemy adjusting AGS [Soviet analogue of Mark 19] fire on you. That is, you had opponent frequency already pre-set? – “Kenvods” have a dual watch function – one …
A Primer on Signal ID with SDR
I came across this piece written in response to an RFI(request for Information) on an unidentified digital signal. Token frequently contributes to and is a Moderator of HF Underground, a forum that anyone concerned with Open Source Signals Collection should be paying attention to. Their users have tons of great information. He's explained a lot …
