    1. I think a lot of the problem is that the Internet is easier Plus it seems old fashion encyclopedias are no longer around. I’ve read old fashion books are better for actual retention and learning as well

    2. Wikipedia itself is flawed, but is often an excellent source to find references and links to peer-reviewed research. Basically in an effort to give Wikipedia some semblance of authority, citations are required. While the article itself may be bad (often, it’s ok… as long as it’s a: really esoteric b : not controversial) the citation are usually pretty solid.

  2. EVERYONE should review the Fire and Chainsaw video. You can’t have enough fire extinguishers, especially if you live out of town.
    I have trauma kits similar to the one in the video, but I also CARRY a CAT tourniquet, IBD, two 14 gauge angio-catheters, nasal airway, and combat gauze in the cargo pocket of my daily wear Wrangler Riggs cargo pants. That way, all of these items, which you will need RIGHT NOW if you ever need them, are with you, not jammed somewhere in the trunk of a car or in the house.
    A friend on the Salt Lake PD saved his own life by having his CAT tourniquet on his person, unwrapped, worn on the outside of his uniform….a habit learned in the Army during his “vacation” in Afghanistan. In forward areas, CATs are worn openly, and in pairs.

  3. In regards to fire extinguishers, Wranglestar had strictly dry chem extinguishers. He probably would have been much better off with a 2.5 gallon water extinguisher for this situation. It is amazing how much fire you can put out with 2.5 gallons of water. At 1700 to 1 expansion from water to steam it not only removes a tremendous amount pf heat but also smothers the fire. Two sides of the fire triangle in one shot. Plus you can keep in in the house for winter use. Also great for brush and refillable.

  4. Folks are getting ready for hurricane season here in FL, they are building buckets and doing the tax holiday thing.

    2019 Disaster Preparedness Sales Tax Holiday

    Hurricane supplies you can buy tax-free during Florida sales tax holiday
    https://www.wfla.com/news/florida/hurricane-supplies-you-can-buy-tax-free-during-florida-sales-tax-holiday/2007047975

    So, if I buy a Survival Blog recommended item from Amazon, the FL 2019 tax “holiday” extends from May 31 to midnight June 6, if it is on the tax exempt list, it is tax free? Fl residents normally pay state tax for Amazon purchases. If I am buying something from Amazon and want the Survival Blog to get credit, what codes do I add to the URL?

  5. Living in Anchorage, Alaska every fall I just un-hook the garden hose from the house and wait for spring to thaw them out.. This article got me thinking. Even though we are in the city our house is far from the closest fire station. Over 15 minutes to get here and when the neighbors house burned it seemed like an eternity. My son winterizes RV’s by putting air through the water system so come fall I will use my air compressor to “blow” the water out of the garden hoses next to the two outside faucets. I also have “Y” adaptors on each outside faucet in order to water my grass and plants. This means I would have 4 hoses in case of a fire. I also have several fire extinguishers of the size in the article at different parts of the house & shed and several smaller ones in my vehicles.

  6. How do they pass a bill banning ghost guns, if it is a ghost gun?

    I had to LOL.

    Long live 3d printing. If you have not taken a look at it yet, you need to. Not just for the “ghost guns” but for any other part that you could think of, and many that you can’t.

    It is amazing technology.

  7. On Wiki-pedia, you can make edits to the entries- subject to the approval of Wiki-pedia staff. On the entry for Robert Byrd, the longtime senator from West Virginia, I added the fact that he was the only senator who had voted against Thurgood Marshall, a black liberal, and Clarence Thomas, a black conservative, for the supreme court. Wiki-pedia removed my addition, saying that my addition was biased against senator Byrd. You can draw your own conclusions about their political preferences and reliability as a reference source.
