Here are JWR’s Recommendations of the Week for various media and tools of interest to SurvivalBlog readers. This week the focus is on White Ox Work Gloves. (See the Gear section.)
Books:
Flayderman’s Guide to Antique American Firearms and Their Values
o o o
Fall and Winter Gardening: 25 Organic Vegetables to Plant and Grow for Late Season Food
o o o
To Kill a Mockingbird. It is amazing that a novel that has been in print for so many years is presently ranked #21 at Amazon.com! This book gives new meaning to the term “perennial classic.”
Movies:
The Ninth Day. Available on DVD or for free streaming to those with Amazon Prime.
o o o
Sahara. Consider this purely entertainment–not a tactics lesson!
Vlogs and Instructional Videos:

Gear (White Ox Work Gloves):
American made –in fact made here in the northwest: White Ox Work Gloves. These canvas gloves are quite comfortable, sturdy, and reasonably priced. For many daily chores these are a good alternative to much more expensive gloves made of leather. But don’t consider them “tactical” until you’ve dyed them green or brown!
o o o
Century K3153-1 Automatic/Manual Deep Cycle Battery Charger Starter, 100/15/2 amps, 6/12V

o o o
Clore Automotive Jump-N-Carry JNC1224 3400/1700 Peak Amp 12/24V Jump Starter. (The big, high amp hour capacity model. It won’t fail you.)
o o o
SIG Sauer SOR52001 Romeo5 1x20mm Compact 2 Moa Red Dot Sight, Black. Note: I recently bought several of these, and I’ve been impressed with their high quality, for the price.

This is perfect……..had decided on an optic for my sons birthday, just didnt know where to start with the bewildering array of options. Much appreciated.
Regarding the white ox work gloves….$90 for twelve pairs of cotton work gloves that only come in white and size large? Really?
They are manufactured in medium, large and extra large. They are also available in over a dozen locations across the internet including eBay. $90 for a dozen quality gloves is not overpriced nor exorbitant. As is often the case, you get what you pay for. Also when given the option I believe it is best to try and buy American made.
We shouldn’t look to the movie Sahara for guidance on tactical operations?!?!? If I can’t plan on taking down modern attack helicopters with civil war era cannons that I found in a buried shipwreck then I need to scrap my current homestead defensive playbook and start over. Thanks JWR, thanks a lot.
Great sarc!
The 1953 movie of that name with Bogart in it is a far superior movie. Of course I universally like older movies better.
Watch the video Lauren Southern did on trying to enter a Muslim “no-go zone” called Lekemba. This is Sidney Australia, and she had a local policeman prevent her from simply walking by the Mosque.
He kept saying she was going to cause “an imminent breach of the peace”, and as such would “commit an offense.” Note that the people who would physically attack her were not committing the offense, SHE was committing an offense by simply being there.
She rightly identified this as the policeman enforcing Sharia Law, and that this area was essentially “conquered land” where normal western standards of freedom were not allowed.
(a side note: the local media were tipped off, rushed to the scene, and apparently produced the inevitable PC reporting, making her out to be a racist trouble maker while telling the viewer that nothing happened… meaning no Muslim race riots… nothing to see here, everyone go back to sleep.)
God help the Australian people.
