The Complete Guide to Sharpening [2]
@WAR: The Rise of the Military-Internet Complex [3], by Shane Harris
Movies:
The Road [4] (starring Viggo Mortensen. It is a favorite with both preppers and survivalists.)
Captain Fantastic [5] (also starring Viggo Mortensen). This movie is marred by copious foul language, brief nudity, and absurd politics. But it makes a compelling case for home schooling and self-sufficiency. It is rated R, and is definitely NOT for kids! (It is now available through Amazon Prime)
BTW, here is a sad addendum: Viggo’s father, V. Peter Mortensen, passed way in early March [6]. Our condolences to the family.

Max Velocity Tactical: Anatomy of a Peel [8] (JWR’s Comment: Max’s training is very highly regarded and recommended. It appears that for quite rational live fire safety reasons they set this up as a 90-degree offset engagement and withdrawal. Normally, in a meeting engagement with a superior force, a “withdraw by fire” takes a 180-degree exit route.

JWR adds these safety notes: DO NOT depend on spring–loaded battery terminal clamps! Any arcing can spark fires. Use proper bolt-on terminals. It is also important to vent the battery compartment of any un-sealed batteries!
