On November 14th, 1985, the Nevado del Ruiz Volcano erupted in Colombia, killing over 20,000 as nearby towns are buried in mud, ice, and lava. Scientists studying the volcano believed an eruption was imminent and had recommended an evacuation of the area, which was largely ignored, resulting in the high number of casualties.
Most readers probably believe that gun writers get specially picked firearms to test for their articles. I used to believe it myself, until I started writing about firearms. If I ever received a hand picked firearm from a gun maker, I sure didn’t know it. To the best of my knowledge, all my guns came off the shelves at the gun companies without being checked over or hand picked. As a matter of fact, I’ve had more than my share of lemons in the 25 years of writing about guns, and that is probably because I’ve tested so many different …
Ingredients: 3½ to 4 lbs corned beef Water 2 Tbsp prepared mustard 1½ tsp horseradish 2 Tbsp red wine vinegar ¼ cup molasses Directions: In a pot, cover corned beef with water. Cover and cook on low for 6 hours (making sure the water always covers the meat; add more water if necessary). Drain the cooked corned beef and place on a broiler pan or oven proof platter. Combine mustard, horseradish, wine vinegar, and molasses. Brush sauce on all sides of meat. Brown in 400° oven for about 20 minutes or until it begins to brown; brush with sauce several …
HJL: That was a great article series. I personally work to create things with my knowledge, skill, and labor that will ride with inflation. Since I do it myself, my labor goes into the thing that rides with inflation without being taxed. I’ll also note that insurance companies watch very carefully what they will have to pay to fix your car or your house and adjust rates accordingly. My income is a percentage of that premium. My income is therefore indexed. The other side of the coin is that when business activity drops by half, like it did in contracting …

Here is an oddity: Dr. David Powers, a USMC veteran, has compiled and published a collection of nonfiction extracts from my first novel, Patriots.

Continental Army Brigadier General Richard Montgomery took Montreal, Canada without opposition on this day in 1775. Robert Louis Stevenson, author of Treasure Island, Kidnapped, and Doctor Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, was also born in Scotland on November 13th, 1850. o o o Please continue to pray for President-Elect Trump and his transition team. There is now growing concern that he is “modifying” his positions and “seeking common ground”. Most troubling is that he is now planning on keeping Obamacare (and just “fixing” it), and that he has backed away from his stated goal of eliminating the EPA. Please pray that …
Well, it has been an eventful month since I last wrote on SurvivalBlog. I decided to take my own advice and enjoy some of those Golden Moments of Silence, where I simply soaked in special moments, beauty, God’s Word, made memories with those I love, and deposited these inspirations in my soul. Since I last sat in front of my keyboard to address you, I have enjoyed fellowship with numerous friends and family, seen some spectacular sights, and experienced dramatic events, most of which were wonderful and beyond description. I have made some new “survivalist” friends and gained greater respect …
HJL, Having experienced some disappointments with foreign currencies both in minor personal matters and in business (as well as some successes). Repeated mention of the Swiss Franc here on SurvivalBlog piqued my interest. When I first became involved in currency, I took a look through the souvenirs my family brought back over the years. I was happy to see a 10 SFr note there. My presumption was that surely this must be something! Disappointment followed shortly thereafter, when it turned out to be nothing more than a piece of colored paper by that time. There is one fact regarding the …
