Death To Zombies

The geniuses over at The Survival Podcast, http://www.thesurvivalpodcast.com/win-a-free-ar7-survival-rifle-from-ready-made-resources,  clued me into a raffle that is going on at Ready Made Resources.  They’ve produced a new .22 collapsible rifle that is actually affordable.  I’ve always wanted one of these but there are so few models in this category that they always seemed to cost around $850-1000 and I’m too cheap to spend that much on such a niche weapon.  But now there is this nifty little bugger on sale for $275.  Even better, they’re raffling one off for free.  It’s called the AR7 by the way.  As TSP points out, .22 is a pretty nice choice for survival gear as you can pack a lot of rounds without upping your weight.  Here’s the link to the raffle web page, http://www.readymaderesources.com/machform/view.php?id=2, so give it a shot!  You would have to cough up the FFL transfer fee yourself as it’s illegal for them to pay that for you, but they’re generally just $20-25.

I don’t have personal experience with it but I sure hope to win and get some.

So, let’s say you’re a really fit person.  You go hiking all the time and would never pass up a chance to go mountain biking with the buddys.  Unfortunately you have a peanut butter allergy and your buddy only packed in food w/ peanuts and doesn’t tell you.   Or honey bees can kill you and you just got stung!  What to do?!?  Well, if you spent $25 on this handy epipen carry case that straps to your calf then you may just need a jab in the thigh and a visit to the emergency room.

In fact, the company that produces these epipen holders(OmaxCare) has all sorts of handy carrying cases.  Need a carry case for your asthma inhaler and want it on your bicep…DONE.  Need nitro pills and want to carry them on your ankle…DONE.  You can buy them online at their website.  That said, this is not an advertisement.  I’m not getting money from OmaxCare and don’t have personal experience with their customer service.  If you have opinions on that sort of thing please comment!

Just a little bit of fun amateur filmmaking. Eliza and Fawn and Tiffany are the zombies and Chuck Vancheri, @Devildog2058, is the survivalist, Rob Roman, @LexDeum, is the producer.

Kudos to @mchesher for posting this up!

This is one of the first Army guides I ever read.  I was in the Explorers in Maryland at the time and we were attached to a Light Infantry National Guard Armoury.  My Sergeant provided me the book and told me to prepare classes to teach during the weekend.  I didn’t do a great job teaching but I learned a lot about how to teach an a lot about survival.

The manual is available via rapidshare.com.  The link to it can be found at this post on drunkenstepfather.com.  I don’t generally recommend the website as there’s a lot of adult material there, but this is a useful PDF, so you may want to go check it out.
