Letter Re: How To Obtain Protein From Alternative Sources Without A Firearm

JWR/Hugh, I loved this article about alternative means for obtaining food. Much of the information was repeat for me, as I do a lot if those things already. I would add as a point for anyone trying to get into trapping that unless you are in a very target rich environment, trapping has a low rate of return. Typically, traps will catch something 1 out of 5 or 1 out of 10 times. Either the animal misses it, or a non-target animal trips the trap. I would recommend having multiple traps (like 6 or 12) and some snare wire around to really take advantage of non-firearm protein gathering. Also, a 110-conibear trap is great for many small game species and can be baited or placed in runs. They’re also cheap and available used from old or retiring trappers. Don’t forget a cheap crayfish trap too. Bait it with fish guts…


Letter Re: How To Obtain Protein From Alternative Sources Without A Firearm

Just a note about small animals: Don’t count on them for the bulk of your diet. Take for example crayfish: The calories for your effort may be very small. There are approximately 3.5 calories in a crayfish tail. (There’s more if you eat the head but not much more.) I’ve seen traps bring in around 50 crayfish on a good day. Therefore, for enough crayfish for a 350 calorie snack, you’ll need at least two traps, and that’s on a good day. Double that for average days. If you want 1/4th of your calories of a family of four to be crawfish on a 3,000 calorie diet (I consider 3,000 a minimum, given the extra calories being expended during TEOTWAWKI), you need to catch 857 crayfish per day, using about 34 traps! When you also consider that you’ll also expend calories trapping and shelling almost 900 crawfish, it gets exhausting…


Letter Re: A Reliable Propane Insulin Refrigerator

James: I’d like to suggest one solution for grid-down insulin refrigeration: I have purchased a Dometic RC4000 3 way portable refrigerator for insulin.  It runs by 12 VDC,  120 VAC  and LP gas.  It is an absorption type ammonia system (as used in recreation vehicles) and appears to be a high build quality unit manufactured in Hungary.  It is the size and shape of a large wheeled ice type cooler but with only a small 1 cu ft cooled area.  It is perfectly suitable for long term insulin protection and uses 1 lb of propane a day  =  18 days from a typical barbeque-sized 20 lb tank.  With no moving parts it is expected to last a long time. [JWR Adds: These can also be plumbed to much larger domestic propane tanks. Or, if you have a large tank with a “wet leg”, you can refill small tanks from it,…


Five Letters Re: ARs as Survival Combat Weapons

…slightly different thing. A ‘Battle Rifle’ is a large caliber, select fire (usually) long range rifle capable of carrying considerable power to the enemy at ranges out to 1000 yards. It is not designed for close combat (though it can certainly foot the bill) and isn’t always ideal for all environments because of it’s size and weight. An Assault Rifle is a less powerful rifle (often smaller caliber but not always as in the AK47 with it’s 7.62 caliber bullet. However the Russian 7.62×39 cannot compete with the NATO 7.62×51 when it comes to power and range and therein lays the difference) designed for close quarter combat and assaults where range and power are less of a factor. Assault rifles are typically select fire weapons capable of high rates of fire with large capacity magazines. Examples of ‘Battle Rifles’ are: M14/M1A, FN FAL, H&K G3 Examples of ‘Assault Rifles’ are:…


Two Letters Re: Procuring Reliable Workhorse Bikes — Take Advantage of the Single Speed Fad

…and Slime for tires on survival bicycles. Excellent advice, but may I suggest an alternative I have used on my bicycles — air free tires. There are alternative suppliers as well but these have worked well for me. The tires use solid, dense polyurethane and are offered with varying densities/elasticities to match various tire PSI ratings. One caveat is that they are a bear to get on the rim, and you’ll likely have to re-true the rim once on. Since I live in a very cactus-infested part of Arizona, these have been a blessing. I’ve even picked up nails without any problems (other than having to stop and pull them out with a Leatherman tool .) I love the blog. I’ve been a reader of yours for years, in the far distant past from the misc.survivalism [Usenet] newsgroup [in the late 1980s and early 1990s]. Regards, – “Harmless Fuzzy Bunny”…


Letter Re: Prison Jobs: Consider Them Reliable Income and Training for Bad Times

…by analyzing things you hear and see, without anyone knowing what your picking up. Over time your senses become more aware of the little things as inside the prison your life often is in constant jeopardy. You can tell when your being watched or followed and can turn the tables on your adversary. Again these skills can be applied everywhere you go in life. The pay is decent. (Not great, but decent.) The big boon is healthcare is paid for, in my state your entire family is covered, medical dental and vision. That’s a substantial chunk of change not coming out of your pocket. In these hard times working for a state prison is a safe job choice as I’ve seen several private prisons go under, but the state prisons will not close for a very long time. Maybe not till its past time to bug out. So you’ll have…


Letter Re: Procuring Reliable Workhorse Bikes — Take Advantage of the Single Speed Fad

…= commuter bicycle. Or buy one special-made if you prefer. Still, a commuter bike in the garage, ridden weekly, is better than getting on a waiting list when the fuel runs out. Just because its $54 per barrel now doesn’t mean it won’t zoom back to $145 per barrel once the new President says or does something stupid in the Middle East. Some background on the one speed fad: I think the single-speed bikes became popular in Portland first, though it might have started in San Francisco with the Bike Messengers 10 years ago, its only just caught on in Pleasanton, California, Davis, California, and the rest of the bike-riding elite-areas. I love my mountain bike, but its so fast on slick tires. Cheap mountain bikes with slick tires are a modification that was inspired by converting dirt bike motorcycles to street racers, called “motards”, using slick tires. This works…


Two Letters Re: Recommendations on a Reliable AK and a Competent AK Trainer

…“builds”using British L1A1 parts kits that I had supplied.). Mark is also known for his Glock grip reductions and his custom gun refinishing, using a system called MetaCol. It is a very durable and corrosion-resistant finish. OBTW, another gunsmith that I recommend for both FAL and AK work is Rich Saunders at CGW.   Jim: After watching the humorous ‘safety’ video posted on Total Survivalist Libertarian Rantfest, I was reminded of my most recent training with Gabe Suarez, Team Tactics. We were shooting rifles in groups and I noticed that unlike shooting handguns, tunnel vision with a rifle, especially a scoped one, is a real issue. Shooting handguns still gives you peripheral vision so if someone on your team starts walking into your line of fire, you can see it more easily. With a rifle, looking thru the scope, you lose all your peripheral vision. There are two fixes for…


Letter Re: Advice on Affordable Yet Reliable Night Vision Scopes

…bulkier AN/PVS-2 if you are on tight budget.) Make sure to specify that that the tube is either new or has very “low hours”, that it has a high line pair count, and it that displays minimal scintillation. (My troops used the highly technical term “The Sparklies”to describe the scintillation phenomenon.) Again, it is important to buy your Starlight gear from a reputable dealer. The market is crowded with rip-off artists and scammers. (A Russian importer who shall remain nameless once offered to supply a U.S. dealer with forged data sheets “at no extra charge” with each starlight scope purchased wholesale. Caveat emptor! As previously mentioned, in addition to Ready Made Resources, another dealer that I trust is Al Glanze (spoken “Glan-zee”) who runs STANO Components in Silver City, Nevada.

KEL-TEC SU-16C: The Ultimate Prepper Rifle?, by R.S.

…the smallest overall package and is the only model that may be fired while folded. Durability/Reliability While initially having the appearance of a somewhat cheaply-made gun, numerous reviews and YouTube videos bear testament to the durability and reliability of the SU-16C. I purchased a used SU-16C with 1500 rounds of ammunition through it already, yet it has functioned flawlessly after another several hundred rounds. Owners quickly discover that, while not an elegant firearm, it has been designed and manufactured for reliable utility. Cost A new SU-16C retails for $779, however, your street price may vary. Regardless, it is likely to be comparable to an entry level AR-15, a typical AK-47, or a used Mini-14. My used SU-16C set me back $500. As the previous owner had secretly longed for an AR-15 for some time before actually getting one, he had attempted to convert the SU-16 to a pseudo AR-15 with…


Off-Grid PV Power for an O2 Concentrator or CPAP, by Tunnel Rabbit

…and offer this educated estimate to others as a starting point for their own research. This is intended to be only a feasibility study for those who would install it themselves. My estimate is based upon my experience living off-grid using only a small off-grid PV system. Simple math can only be a guide, as there are many variables that cannot be factored in. Therefore, it is better to over-engineer to compensate for an electrically inefficient design and hidden losses within a system. I am not recommending an inverter, or calculating in the loss of power due to the use of an inverter. It is far better to use a DC appliance that used 12 VDC directly, if it can be found. If one cannot find a suitable 12VDC appliance, then the purchase of an expensive and quality inverter is necessary. The low-cost inverters are not recommended as their reliability…


A Multi-Faceted Approach to Post-Disaster Information Gathering, by D.C.

…and COMSEC. Despite these drawbacks, e-mail communication can be advantageous for communicating with family members or friends during a disaster. I do not rely upon this method for disaster related communications with my immediate family, as we use amateur radio for that. However, many in my extended family are not amateur radio operators, and thus they rely upon commercial communications methods. The fact that they rely upon these method does not diminish my need to communicate with them. Surprisingly, to many of us that come from an earlier generation of Internet users, many young Internet users now consider e-mail to be blasé. E-mail still provides a unique store and forward messaging capability that is not completely duplicated by social media or instant messaging. Security concerns regarding e-mail are valid; however, encryption systems are widely available for free on the Internet. These encryption systems allow one to conceal the content of…


Prayer Requests: America’s Latest Inversions of Justice

Like many other Americans living in rural towns, I attend a church that is small enough that there is time to hear the prayer requests of individual congregants–both at the Wednesday evening Bible study meeting and at the Sunday worship services. This coming Sunday, I plan to voice three prayer requests in succession. This is in reaction to three news stories that have circulated in just the past two weeks. These news reports have deeply troubled me, and have begun to dominate my prayer life. All three of these involve inversions of justice. They are: Indictment of the Planned Parenthood Baby-Parts-For-Sale Whistleblowers. An article at The Federalist began: “A Houston grand jury has concluded there’s not enough evidence to bring Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast to trial from the series of videos David Daleiden of the Center for Medical Progress produced this last summer. It did, however, indict Daleiden on two…


Letter Re: The Latest Wave of The Sagebrush Rebellion, Response by N.E.

I was glad to see JWR and SurvivalBlog writing about this topic. There are many historical aspects to this situation that seem to be lacking information. From a macro perspective, what is interesting to me about the entire discourse of the BLM and the 1976 Federal Land Policy and Management Act is how the entire law was largely about resources. The Oregon situation is also about resources. Sure, there are many narratives and news stories that provide different information and details about differences in perspective. However, let us not lose sight as prudent people to a major theme that surrounds the entire situation of the BLM and currently Harney County. The 1976 Federal Land Policy and Management Act (FLPMA) began in 1964 with the congressional appointed Public Law Land Review Commission. The short history of the FLPMA is that no one really cared, and there was really no support for…


Letter Re: The Latest Special Operations Forces Medical Handbook

…APPENDICES Thanks, – Frankie JWR Replies: Thanks for mentioning the new manual! I have updated both the survey results post and the SurvivalBlog Bookshelf page, accordingly. OBTW, I have had difficulty finding an original copy of the new manual at a reasonable price. The copies that are presently listed on Amazon are “secondary market”, at grossly inflated prices. But the good news is that the GPO also publishes a paperback edition for $59. I would prefer the military 9.7″ x 6.4″ edition that is three-hole punched (and hence will lay flat when open–making it a better “working” reference), but the GPO paperback edition should suffice. There are also electronic editions available for PDAs and Windows for $73, and for Palm PDAs for $60. The SpecialForcescom online store sells a smaller 7.5″ x 4.75″ format edition (a bit harder to read), but they do sell it in combination with a CD-ROM….
