Many of you have asked for more details about the Live Capture Box trap that Bill, Dave, Andrew and I used to catch the Quail. To my knowledge, this is a trap style that originates in Asia but versions of it exist all over the world. It’s very unique in that it can be constructed from all natural materials. Below I detail the trap design as well as the trigger I normally pair with it. It all starts with 2 pieces of cordage and 2 sticks… A length of cordage is tied between the ends of two sticks. When tied, the length of rope should be a little longer (6 or so inches) than the sticks. The shape at this point should …

This novel has an emphasis on intelligence analysis and resistance warfare tactics. In addition to the hardcover edition, there is also an e-book …
The Logo Contest Is Officially Over
The new logo/banner has been up for a couple of weeks now and I’ve received some favorable emails and comments about it. There were quite a few good entries and it was a tough decision, but eventually I narrowed it down to three and then finally the winner, which you see along the top of the site. Above is the banner and here’s what I’ll use as the logo: The winner’s name is Kyle and prefers to remain anonymous, but my man, thank you for a great logo and banner! I’ll be sending the GPS unit out shortly and I hope you like it as much as I like the new look. In case you…
Can Your Food Storage Keep You Alive During a Doomsday?
There has been a lot of talk about of the world ending recently due to the Mayan calendar. The calendar was suppose to abruptly on December, 21st, 2012. Since we all clearly saw nothing happened and we are all living today, there was no doomsday. However, since some people did believe that this was going to happen, some people were smart and stocked up on emergency supplies which honestly is not a bad idea. With the economy collapsing, war raging out of control, diseases spreading, and stronger hurricanes, earthquakes, blizzards, and other storms, becoming a prepper isn’t such a bad idea. A prepper is a person who stores a large amount of food and water inside their home. …
Breaking Down the Matrix of the New World Order
From Survival and BeyondBy Ed Corcoran The more you start looking into the things that are going on in the world and the less you pay attention to the corporate-controlled “mainstream” media, the more it becomes obvious that there is a movement taking place that’s pushing us towards a global government and the ultimate loss of our individual freedoms, liberties and quality of life. The systems and mechanisms that have been directing the course of our economy, government and society in America are various and sundry, with many seemingly disparate and unrelated branches and platforms. Due to gradual and continuous conditioning and indoctrination, these control mechanisms have not only managed…

Bread and Circuits
THE big financial story is all the hype and circumstance surrounding the Consumer Electronics Show which opens today in Lost Wages. As you would expect, there’s excellent coverage in places like PC World where a lot of the focus is on 4K TV’s – which are the big screens with about four times as many pixels as the usual 1080p rigs. As you would also expect, the stock market should rally a bit on this, after all, what’s not to love about selling the public more crap, which drives up sales of all kinds of things. But what’s NOT getting a lot of headspace in the media frenzy, is the role of open source in all this. Had an…

Notes from JWR:
I was shocked to hear that Keith Ratliff, the manager of the video blog FPS Russia was recently found murdered in Carnesville, Georgia. His relatives sound dubious about the reported details. You’ve probably seen some of the very popular YouTube videos featuring Keith’s buddy Kyle Myers demonstrating various exotic weapons. (In the videos, Kyle mimics a Russian accent and uses the stage name Dmitri Potapoff.) FPS Russia is reportedly the third most popular video channel on YouTube. His death comes as very strange news. If it was indeed a robbery (as some claim), then why were so many guns found in the…
Large Cities All Over America Are Degenerating Into Gang-Infested War Zones
Large U.S. cities that the rest of the world used to look at in envy are now being transformed into gang-infested hellholes with skyrocketing crime rates. Cities such as Chicago, Detroit, Camden, East St. Louis, New Orleans and Oakland were once bustling with economic activity, but as industry has fled those communities poverty has exploded and so has criminal activity. Meanwhile, financial problems have caused all of those cities to significantly reduce their police forces. Sadly, this same pattern is being repeated in hundreds of communities all over the nation. The mainstream media loves to focus on mass shooters such as Adam Lanza, but the reality is that gang violence is a far greater problem in the United States than mass shooters ever will be…

5 Lessons From the Panic of 2012
From Survival and BeyondTEOTWAWKI Blog The gun control madness has been frustrating for most of us, but I think there are some helpful observations we can extrapolate from the whole mess. This time around, we’re seeing panic buying of guns, magazines and ammunition. Now, extend that to the initial hours/days after a wide scale collapse scenario, when you have people running out and buying anything and everything under the sun. Food. Water. Batteries. Tools. Camping gear. Everything. Using the current panic buying environment as a case study, here are a few things you can expect to see: #1. Have what you need on hand: Pretty self explanatory.

MSO Minutemen….Are you one?
Minuteman, Concord Mass. What is a Minuteman? “Minuteman” – Minutemen were members of teams from Massachusetts that were well-prepared militia companies of select men from the American colonial partisan militia during the American Revolutionary War. They provided a highly mobile, rapidly deployed force that allowed the colonies to respond immediately to war threats, hence the name. – Via https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minutemen The notion of the Minuteman has always intrigued me. When I was 6 or 7 years old my father took me to Concord, Massachusetts and we visited the statue pictured above. I walked across the Old North Bridge, which marks the location where British soldiers were met by the Minutemen of Concord and neighboring towns. The British retreated. We that…

Busy at the WH HR Office
You talk about overtime, there’s so much shuffling going on in Washington it’s like Musical Chairs has gone mainstream. For one, Chuck Hagel is headed for the SecDef job. The nomination of Hagel may be tougher than the John Kerry nomination, although here lately, we’re hearing the Swift Boat noises starting up again. But Kerry is getting support from key republicorps, so slam dunk deal there. Then there’s John Brennan who’s to be the next CIA Director. And this morning SecState Clinton is back on the job. No Benghazi hearings to attend? Why, ain’t that a coincidence. But seriously – here’s a dandy question about the WH HR operation: You know how in small companies, the feds insist on proof of citizenship, …

Outrage: Bank Of America Freezes Funds of Licensed Online Gun Dealer: “We Believe You Should Not Be Selling Guns On The Internet”
Legal gun ownership in America is under attack on all sides. From pending bans that would restrict the sale, transfer and possession of certain weapons, to outright calls for repeal of the Second Amendment, we are entering an unprecedented era in American history. So much so, that not only is the government now coming after your right to bear arms, but private sector businesses are following suit. One of the country’s largest financial institutions, the ironically named Bank of America, has now taken it upon themselves to decide what is or is not a lawful business practice. The following alert was posted on the Facebook page of licensed firearms…
