Here are JWR’s Recommendations of the Week for various media and tools of interest to SurvivalBlog readers. This week the focus is on our advertiser BattlBox [1]. (See the Gear & Grub section.)
Books:
o o o
Serious bayonet collectors and investors find themselves a copy of this book: Bayonets from Janzen’s Notebook [3]. (Used copies can sometimes be found on eBay for less than $75.)
o o o
I was not surprised to see that Mark Levin’s Unfreedom of the Press [4] is still in Amazon.com’s top 10 sellers list.
o o o
Straw Bale Building Details: An Illustrated Guide for Design and Construction [5]
o o o
Movies:
Best of Warner Bros. 100 Film Collection (DVD) [7]

The Green Berets [8]
Instructional Videos and Vlogs:
Wranglerstar: Making A Van Home [9]
o o o
Nik Rijavec: Building a Traditional Log Cabin / 3 Years From First Log Till Finished [10]. JWR’s Comment: This is not in English, but some skills are universal. Please folks: All the gear, all the time! Kevlar chainsaw chaps, eye protection, and ear protection are musts! And be particularly careful if you must do any plunging cuts.
o o o
Just for Eye Candy: Planes of Fame airshow 2019 ‘Warbirds’ part 1 [11]. JWR’s Comment: I must say that the Spitfire thunderously roaring by a very low pass at the 15:55 mark of the video just about stole the show!
o o o
And… For you Round Engine enthusiasts, here is some real, epic Dakota bush piloting: DC-3, Bush Air Cargo, Alaska [12].
Blogs:
Patrice Lewis of the Rural Revolution blog: “A job to go to [13]”

Commander Zero: They won’t make that mistake twice [14]
o o o
Orange Jeep Dad [15] is back at it!
o o o
And speaking of revived blogs, don’t miss: Thoughts from Frank and Fern [16]
Gear & Grub:
Reader Michael S. wrote me to ask: “I have 1-gallon kerosene containers that I have purchased from Home Depot. The jugs are made from plastic and not suited for long term storage. What do you recommend for long term storage of kerosene?”
o o o
Mountain House Raspberry Crumble [17]
o o o
Folgers French Roast Coffee [18]
o o o
I noticed that the folks at BattlBox [1] (one of our affiliate advertisers) have moved a lot more of their “Past Missions [19]” (monthly field gear/survival gear packages) to their Store page [20]. If you like survivalist gear and gadgets, then you should check out their store. I must warn you that signing up for a monthly box subscription [21] is absolutely addictive! They have four subscription levels, and even the “Basic” level still gets you a great box of gear every month. Subscribing will also make you everyone’s favorite Dad/Uncle/Grandpa on their birthdays, graduation days, Hanukkah, or Christmas. (Hint: No more shopping. You will have a pile of extra knives and goodies by December, each year.)
