Equipment TEOTWAWKI Survival

Building an A.R.K.

Probably the most well known TEOTWAWKI of all time is the story of Noah’s Ark. A devastating flood wiping out everything and everyone you know, and relocating you to some foreign land, is definitely the end of the world as you know it. When thinking about this story, we usually think about the 40 days and nights on the ark, and how Noah and his family had to survive that. But in reality that was not the real survival situation. The real survival situation started when the waters receded and Mr. and Mrs. Noah had to start over. Building, planting, raising animals – all had to be handled from square one.

TEOTWAWKI Survival

Making Better Char Cloth

When starting a flint and steel or striker type of fire, char cloth makes all the difference in being able to actually get the fire started or just making a bunch of sparks that never catch anything on fire. Char cloth (sometimes also called charred cloth) is one of those amazing mountain man items that is still very useful today. Char cloth is pieces of blackened fabric that easily catch a spark and burn similarly to the way steel wool burns--no big flame, but a nice ember burn that doesn't blow out once it's lit. The spark lights the char cloth and the char cloth is used to light the other tinder. I've been wanting to add char cloth to my fire kits and having used all my char cloth made by others, I decided to make a batch of my own.

TV Worth Watching

I'm not a big TV fan myself, as I expect many of the readers of this blog. But last year I did stumble on a show I really liked, called "<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Alaska_Experiment">The Alaska Experiment</a>". The show took a couple small groups (2-4 people) of "regular people", and dropped them in backcountry Alaska, to survive into the winter. Now, not only was this TV, but it was reality-tv, which by nature I detest. And yet it drew me in like no other. Why? Because it showed just how little people knew, and just how difficult it was to survive, even with the large amount of help these people received. They had minimal food supplies given, they had shelter, and constant checkups to make sure they weren't in real harm. And yet it was still *very* difficult. Sure, at many points I would scream at people for what I saw as dumb decisions, but I have a better camping background than they. I was also sitting in my nice chair at home, instead of in the middle of Winter in Alaska.

Prepping for and Surviving an Airplane Crash

<img class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-982" title="plane-crash-2" src="/images/uploads/2009/01/plane-crash-2-150x102.jpg" alt="plane-crash-2" width="150" height="102" />Yesterday's incident of a crash landing on the Hudson River where there was a 100% survival rate got me thinking about airplane crash survival and prep. Apparently several others were thinking about it too, there are several articles out in the last (less than) 24 hours about surviving a plane crash. Hopefully I can provide a useful summary and some fresh thought on this topic.

SOS Sportster Solar Oven

I ordered a Solar Oven Society Sportster Oven with optional reflectors on a Monday and it arrived on my door step a precisely one week later. My neighbor has a Global Sun Oven, but hasn't used it. Not having any experience with this subject, and not knowing anyone who had used one, I performed some research online.
