    Now the challenge is to influence government-funded science to finance and resource the technology. Stop finding dark matter fruitless boondoggles and integrate this useful into our lifestyles and mandate science programs pay attention to reality.

  2. “One MacGyverism that’s always stuck with me that’s actually proved useful is when he had to move a heavy log, so he looped a rope over a roof support and under the log, then put a stick through the looped rope and twisted it, which lifted the log.”

    Amen Brother. Long live MacGyver. I’ve probably mentioned it before but once when I was way back up in the mountains on a dirt road, I crossed a creek with my 2WD truck and in trying to get up the gravel road on the other side, couldn’t get enough oomph to make it up the hill. In the process of trying, the back end slid around and next thing I knew, there was a large washing-machine sized boulder blocking behind me. I couldn’t go forward, couldn’t back up. I pulled out my lunch and ate it while sitting there pondering my predicament. It was something like 11 miles back to paved road. About halfway through my sandwich, I remembered in Thor Hyerdahl’s book about Easter Island how they set up those huge giant statues. They had pictures showing a modern-day enactment raising one of the statues. I pulled the jack out of my truck and by lifting the boulder just a few inches at a time so it wouldn’t loose grip, then putting rocks under it, getting a new grip and raising it a few more inches, I was eventually able to get the rock far enough over that I could push it the rest of the way. It took a long time but it saved ma an 11-mile hike out to the highway.

  3. Great ideas! The great thing about Survivalblog, is all these articles are easily searched at a later date and can provide valuable information. I can’t tell y’all how many times I’ve wondered about something, searched the blog, and voila! several articles on the topic from people’s real life perspective.
    Thank you.

  5. “…Don’t laugh, but a good source of this type of information for me has been watching MacGyver…”

    I recently scored the first season of the original series on DVD and watched it with my son. Now he’s got McGyverisms proliferating out in the back yard. Luckily, the kid is really resourceful. He’s the most mindful of potential emergencies of all my kids.
