Some Shameless Self-Promotion: A Conversation with James Wesley, Rawles on His Latest Novel: Expatriates

Introductory Note: The following is an edited transcript of my conversation with my Publicist from E.P. Dutton, Emily Brock: 1.) Expatriates is the fourth novel in your Coming Collapse series. What inspired you to write about survivalism? Do you believe a real-life collapse is in our near future? I believe that global economic instability is rising substantially, so the risk of economic collapse is greater than ever before. Along with instability comes the risk of civil wars, regional wars, and perhaps even a Third World War. It is indeed time for people to stock up, team up, and batten down the hatches. 2.) Expatriates is different from your other novels in that it mainly takes place outside the United States, in Australia. What drew you to writing about characters away from their native country? There are now more than 5.25 million American citizens living overseas. I recognized that the stress…


Smoke Grenades – Any Utility?, by T. in Virginia

13

…going on there, even if it is not. In some instances, a support element will initially engage the hostile force, and then a smoke grenade (or several) would start screening a possible approach route. Typically, the hostile force will “orient” on that cloud, believing the assault is about to come from that screened location, only to shortly discover the real assault is coming from somewhere else. Indoor Close Quarter Battle/MOUT Training One interesting use of smoke has been during indoor close quarter battle (CQB) / MOUT training. During some missions where the cadets had to either escape or assault the interior of a building or other structure, they’ve used smoke to totally blind the occupants. In one mission they ripped open a floor HVAC duct, dropped a commercial black smoke grenade down to the lower floor, and completely froze the OPFOR in place there. Nobody could see even 12 inches…


Be Ready to Repair Your Rifles, by O.T.D.

…mag. The usual problem is the tab on the rear of the mag that the mag release lever keys into and locks it into place. Using a permanent marker to ‘color’ or paint a possible friction point, file or remove the material incrementally, test and file, rinse and repeat until she clicks in sweetly, fully, instantly and effortlessly… This one issue solved will make running the AK a completely new experience. Mags that lock in swiftly and securely makes the shooter confident. The second most miserable problem on Comblock AK’s is the trigger. If this bothers you, replace it with a Tapco. AK’s are not perfect. Do have a complete set of spare parts, particularly replacement springs and clips for the action. Folding stocks do have their place, but are no were near as comfortable, or reliable long term. Ditch the folder unless the there is a particular need for…


Optimizing MURS Dakota Alert Sensors – Part 2, by Tunnel Rabbit

…ways. The total length 36 inches. I would not transmit on this antenna because it is not tuned, or any antenna, even if tuned, because it would greatly increase the range at which I could heard, unless there was no other way to establish reliable communications. Commo and Sensor Goals We want to limit the range, by using the lowest power or ‘smallest’ antenna we have to avoid detection, yet effect solid comms. However, we want to hear as well as we possibly can, and that means using an external antenna. We could therefore hear each other better, and yet limit the range we broadcast, if we use an external antenna to ‘hear’, and the antennas on the Baofeng, to talk. This set up on all stations, improves reliable comms, and reduces the chance of detection. We can also better listen for threats that are using low powered radios, and…


The Long View- Part 2, by J.M.

…thousands of rounds of ammunition. Reliable Long Term While a tricked-out AR-15 is probably a good idea for defense for the first few years after society disintegrates, you’ll also want something that’s more reliable long term and that can be handed down for generations. Here are some ideas: Ruger 10/22 – Good for hunting small game. Bolt-action rifle – Something like a Remington 700, which is extremely reliable and good for hunting larger game. A break-action shotgun – One of the simplest and most reliable types of firearms available. A revolver – While semi-automatic handguns hold more rounds and have a faster reload, a revolver has a lot fewer moving parts and requires a lot less maintenance. Calibers and Storing Up/Reloading You’ll want to try to keep calibers common across as many of your firearms as possible, in order to simplify your ammunition stocking requirements. Speaking of ammunition, I’d be…


Budget Prepper Guns, by Pete Thorsen

…terms of detonation?” Not quite but both now are pretty reliable. Thanks everyone for the nice comments. Vagus @ Matthew Assuming that you’re actually asking, the conventional wisdom is no. Lucky Gunner did some tests with .22 rounds recently and found no issues, so they seem to have come a long way over the years, but I would still not count on them to be as reliable as center-fire. To the discussion, In KY poachers take deer with .22 lr, and if it’ll kill a deer it’ll kill you. My view is that any sidearm of any caliber makes you not a soft target. At 25 yards a 9mm Hi Point or .22 revolver will ruin your day just as surely as a .40 Sig, even if they’re far (far) from ideal. Camp Doubt I still have my first gun a 22 cal. that dad had given me for Christmas…

…shutdown had an immediate effect on restaurants, bars, gyms, hair salons, etc. back in March/April. Here is where you need to pay attention. There are other companies, like mine, that are now just feeling the impact. Why? Because some of these companies had orders already in that didn’t ship until later in the year. Now this shutdown is just catching up to them. They are laying off employees or losing their business altogether. Like us, we had orders and were shipping right up to the end of June. However, we didn’t have anything to replace them with. Nothing really coming in since March. So, we went July-October with very, very poor numbers … and there’s nothing to speak of for November and December. That’s 6 months not meeting the necessary business requirements. Check out the US Census Bureau. There are surveys that are being completed by these companies (ours included)…


Guns for Bugging Out, by N.B.

…about the keltec but it seems a compromise just to have a long gun. If you carry a long gun, don’t trade away it’s advantages. If you want a gun for hunting small game, then pick one that will work. How about keeping the Glocks, and trading the keltec’s, governor’s and 22 pistols for a single lightweight 22 carbine that can hunt small game, give you a longer reach than the pistols yet not be terribly heavy or threatening? Maybe a ruger 1022? Jim Kennedy A Dixon Rollerpack is another way to carry a lot of stuff http://dixonrollerpack.com/ I would also concur on the lightweight AR15. If you really want to go light weight try the PMR30 and CMR30 in .22 mag. I guess anything is better than nothing and whatever floats your boat is in, BUT, realistically for me, I want something with some punch and the .223 gets…


Group Industries Uzi 9mm Carbine, by Pat Cascio

18

…understanding is that, Group Industries only produced about 95 semi-auto carbines before closing their doors. However, Group did manufactured several thousand full-auto Uzis. That was before congress banned any new manufacture of transferable full-auto or select-fire guns. Group Industries had a lot of Uzi receiver blank “flats” on-hand, and sold those to Vector Arms, who went on to produce semi-auto Uzis of high quality. The Uzi is manufactured mostly out of stamp metal, so it was quick and inexpensive to produce. Some companies tried their hand at producing stamped Uzi receivers – and sadly many of these never worked properly. Barrel Length The semi-auto Uzi carbine comes with a 16-inch barrel, as required by U.S. law. The barrel is held with a threaded barrel nut–though and you can convert a semi-auto into a short barreled rifle by doing the red tape, paying the $200 Federal transfer tax, and installing a…


Communications In Dark Times, by J.B.

…for the exam. Written exams are given locally by Ham volunteers and typically cost $15 to take. If you pass, the FCC will mail your license to you in about two weeks. If you study with online exams until you can consistently pass them, there’s no reason to believe you won’t pass your written exam the first time. What To Do With Your Ham License Once you do a little study and pass your exam, what can you do with amateur radio? Practice communicating; learn how to properly participate in multi-way radio conversations, how to make contacts, how to participate in message relays. Participate in ERT at your job; many businesses organize Emergency Response Teams (ERT) who use radio as a way to communicate during emergencies, such as fires. Participate in ARES (Amateur Radio Emergency Service); amateur radio operators volunteer to assist with communications during natural or other emergencies. ARES…


Survival Planning Using the Military Decision Making Process, by A.J.

…before the SHTF, or that I won’t.  If I assume that I won’t, then that whole plan is not valid.  Course of Action Development:  Develop at least two Courses of Action (COAs), three is better, but more than three is probably too many.  In this step the staff Analyzes Relative Combat Power (friendly  assets vs. the enemy’s  assets), Generate Options,  Array Initial Forces (where friendly forces are arrayed as well as the best information on the enemy are arrayed), Develop the Scheme of Maneuver, Assign Headquarters, and prepare COA statements and sketches.  The COA sketch is a one page (usually PowerPoint) diagram that shows a map of the plan with all the critical tasks listed along one side.   COAs need to pass the suitability, feasibility, acceptability, distinguishability, and completeness tests.  This means that the plans each need to be realistic given the assets, restraints, constraints, and assumptions listed in the…


Letter Re: Communications in Times of Crisis

…always, your mileage may vary. I also won’t get into propagation characteristics of each band, except in a personal experience sort of way. That would be a book unto itself. I have noticed a lot of disinformation regarding so called “survival communications”. Let’s talk about the interpretation and my opinion of some the legalities and the pitfalls of the most bandied-about schemes. I am starting with my hard wired comm scheme between my parents house, and my buddy’s houses back in the early 1960s; conjured together with parts reclaimed from the dumpster at the Western Electric factory where they built those really neat rotary dial phones:. 1] Price, free, except for sending my little sister and brothers dumpster diving. I had to pay them in nickel candy bars. 2] Secure, no doubt, hard wired. Well, unless you count line taps. 3] Risks? One of the neighbors kept cutting the wire…


Four Letters Re: Firewalls, Anonymity, and SurvivalBlog

…version, as their signatures aren’t tagged by the scanners. Two, rename the file to something like “stamp_collection.exe” to prevent simple name recognition. All of this is great, but what if the user can’t download it in the first place? Many times the web site will be blocked, but the download itself is available, especially the “.exe” download as it is not linked from the front page. You can also find it on popular download sites (like this one), which will not all be blocked. Emailing it to yourself using a web mail account is an option, but the user will have to rename it to something like “file.txt” as .exe file extensions are usually not allowed attached to emails; just change it back to an .exe extension to use. Once downloaded, the clever user can simply carry it around on a USB [“thumb”] drive or floppy disk to pull out…


Letter Re: Preserving a Digital Library

…necessary. I know that doesn’t say much but it is really what it comes down to. For example I have scanned all old family pictures I could find and stored the scans along with newer digital pictures. They are part of the library, together with copies of music CDs and vinyl records, a few movies and family videos. And some games in case people get really bored. The computer says the library has grown to over 150,000 files most of which are compressed by lossless algorithms to around 100GB total required storage space. That’s a small hard drive, average SSD, 4 32GB SDHC cards, 20+ DVDs or 150 CDs. – How do you manage this much information? I do not use a program to manage the library but simply use a folder structure to keep everything in a place where I can find it. For instance there is a ‘books’…
