My Adventure in Growing Wheat, by Carl in Wisconsin

…my storage building and got my razor sharp scythe. I confidently entered the field and made a sweep with the tool…. Much to my amazement the wheat just leaned further over and did not cut. I tried and tried, faster, slower, adjusting the pitch of cut, nothing worked. Remembering that this is a really dangerous tool, I decided to cheat and cut down the wheat with my walk-behind weed whip. The 20th century made a come back. The weed whip did a nice job. I didn’t give it full gas and laid the stalks down nicely. I went and got my wife. I told her she was drafted to help rake the wheat up. Between the two of us we had it raked by 11:30. By the way we used leaf rakes. This may be the biggest error of all. A proper hay rake is absolutely required. We loaded the…



The Ethics and Methodology of Sniping after TEOTWAWKI, by P.A.

…short, don’t train to be a sniper and assume that your room-clearing skills will improve right alongside. Shooting Formulae Precision shooting requires math; sorry folks!  Calculating range to target, windage compensation, adjustments for a moving target, and compensation for other more obscure variables is accomplished through shooting formulae. To use these formulae you need some basic ballistic data for the ammunition that you are shooting, which should be available from the manufacturer.  Needless to say, doing these calculations is time-consuming, especially if zombies ate your last calculator.  So, it is most efficient to perform these calculations ahead of time and compile them in ballistic charts which you can use for quick reference.  Many such charts can be found online, saving you considerable time.  While deployed in combat operations I kept a windage-adjustment chart taped to my sleeve for easy reference. When referencing raw ballistic data or pre-compiled charts, be sure…


Letter Re: List of Countries by Real Population Density

…took out grazing lands, CRP lands, etc. and only had square kilometers of land under actual cultivation.  This is based on a USDA estimate since exact figures are not kept except on a county by county level.  This is why the “final” number is square kilometers is much less than it would appear to be on the surface.  I know that here in Colorado for example a piece of land I am looking at — 160 acres — only has 10 acres under active cultivation.  The rest of the section is either open range grazing land or CRP land. I then applied some math [on demographics] to the chart… [JWR Notes: Some detail deleted, for brevity] I ruled out the original colonies and adjacent areas.  (Those have the figures shaded light red.) I ruled out the states west of the Mississippi River but with population densities that are far too…


Survival Aspects of Cartridge Reloading, by Jerry M.

…a pound of Bullseye. And if you buy these powders in the 4 or 8 pound containers that’s a lot of reloading! I just wish the 4895 would stretch that far, but I get something like 145 rounds of .308 from a pound, depending on which bullet I use. I really like the Sierra 168 grain JHP-BT, that’s about as close as I’ve come to the 173 grain FMJ military match bullet. One main thing about reloading, keep in mind that alcohol and gunpowder is a bad mixture, and pay attention to all the operations, if somebody comes in and wants to talk, quit loading and talk. And over load is bad, but a round loaded with no powder is much worse, the primer, most of the time has enough power to put the bullet into the rifling just far enough to chamber another round! And if you don’t catch the mistake and…


Two Letters Re: No-Name AR-15s

…Teflon. One important point with lubrication: What works in Florida, may not work in northern Alaska. – J.D.F.   JWR, While I agree with the majority of Pat’s Product Review, there are a few things to consider when purchasing a new rifle. I have tried out a number of different ARs over the years, and consider myself pretty well versed on the subject. When it comes down to it, sometimes you get what you pay for. On the flip side of that coin, sometimes you pay extra for a name. Personally, I love my Colt. There are a ton of other great ones out there for a lot less money. I like the Colt because it is what I carried in the military and still carry as a full time LEO. Whether you build a rifle from the receiver up or purchase a complete rifle, buy it right the first…


Buying Silver and Gold as Part of Our Preps, by Jeff in Upstate New York

…It is used by commodities traders who buy and sell commodity contracts.  As I write this, the spot price for silver is $34.78 per Troy Ounce.  The last time that I checked, the spot price for gold was $1712.20.  In the same vein,  the spot price for 100 bushel of corn is $650.60.  You should know what the spot price is before you go out and buy any gold or silver.  However, you should not assume that you can go out and buy at the spot price.  Nearly all gold and silver bullion, coins or jewelry is sold at a premium to the spot price.  The following is an analysis of various types of precious metals that you can buy.  This table was compiled by me using various sources of products that I could fine on-line.  The prices are the retail price sans any shipping, handling or taxes.  The melt…


Approaching Fire or Extreme Fire Alert, by Matthew Stein, P.E.

…that most homes are built with interior walls covered in sheetrock. If necessary to avoid a fire and smoke filled hallway, or to gain access to a room to rescues a family member, realize that this sheetrock can be easily kicked through to allow a person to slip between the studs from one room to another without using a door or window. When to Make a Stand, and When to Pack and Go The 2001 Martis Fire started about two miles downwind from our neighborhood. When a fire threatens, remember the story of Andrew and Mary Hall, keeping in mind the fate of those less fortunate families that were found incinerated inside their cars after being overtaken by a fire storm during Australia’s infamous “Black Saturday.” When it comes to wildfires, it is better to err on the side of caution than to risk all in a moment of valor!…


Beekeeping for Long-term Self Sufficiency, by T.D.

…one year of experience under my belt, I was much more efficient in my beekeeping efforts. I also realized there are two approaches to beekeeping. One demands that you spend many hours checking and assisting the little furry things. The other approach assumes that nature knows what it is doing. Since bees have been doing well on their own for several millennia, the beekeepers only real chore is to give them regular health checks and harvest the liquid gold. The second year, I chose the less invasive and less demanding approach for my beekeeping efforts. If you are a math type, let’s calculate the value of my produce. Assuming that purchasing wildflower honey costs you about $5 a pound, this means that with a small investment of $623 over a two-year period I was able to produce 173 pounds or about $865 worth of honey. This doesn’t even take into…

Letter Re: Ammunition Prices in the Future?

Jim, I followed the link today about ammo production declines. Do you have any idea how this may effect pricing to the public? I hear from some folks that they expect ammo prices to drop as more of the stockpile hits the market after the (hopeful) end of hostilities in Iraq, et cetera. I wondered if you had an opinion of how things may evolve. Thanks, – Jason in Idaho JWR Replies: I expect ammo prices to remain high, and in fact continue to climb as long as global commodities prices–especially copper and lead–remain high. The world’s credit markets are clearly starting to tighten, which will eventually slide the global economy into recession, or perhaps even depression. It will not be until after the wheels of industry slow considerably that commodities prices will weaken. Then, and only then, will ammo prices start to level off, and perhaps come down a…


Semi-Spiked Story from Oz — “Dumping of US Dollar Could Trigger ‘Economic September 11′”

…would then see an immediate cascade effect — a world financial panic on a scale that would dwarf the Great Depression of the 1930s.” Prestowitz says the panic could be started by something as simple as a hedge-fund miscalculation. “We had exactly that scenario in the US recently,” he points out, “when a big hedge fund called Long Term Capital Management went belly-up. These guys were pros. They had two Nobel prize-winning economists writing their trading algorithms, and their traders were the creme de la creme among New York bond traders. “They made a big bet — a trillion dollars leveraged 20 to one, and they blew it. They went belly-up. That threatened to bring down the whole system so US Federal Reserve chairman Alan Greenspan had to organise a bail-out through the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. “Now consider this: there are currently 8000 hedge funds in the…


Two Letters Re: Rourke on: A Mouse in the House? Retreat Pest Control

…against mice. Of note, they are apparently not susceptible to hantavirus, do not become carriers and cannot spread it to humans. See: http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/diseases/hanta/hps/noframes/transmit.htm It may be worthwhile to create perches and nesting boxes for hawks and owls. In addition to being fun to watch, it’s worth considering that a single family of barn owls may consume up to 3000 mice a year.

Letter Re: Salt Blocks and Free Firewood

…so that all they have to do is work it up, and burn any leftover brush. It’s a blessing to both. He dumps there when he is in the area to save fuel and time, and they don’t have to search for wood. So some of your readers may want to contact a local tree service if they have an area where a dump truck won’t get stuck and will have easy access without having to wait on a gate to be unlocked.   Thanks, –   L.F. JWR Replies: I did indeed bring up the topic of salt blocks for attracting game several months ago, but it bears repeating. In a survival situation, why “hunt” when you can have the protein come to you, and you then can pick and choose the healthiest looking critters? My advice is to buy plenty of salt blocks, including extras for barter and charity….


Letter Re: My Adventure in Growing Wheat, by Carl in Wisconsin

…or less in unison. (Separate from the frame of the machine total.) (And which will be described later) The screens are the difficult part in an 18th century setting. The top screen has holes large enough for the seeds to fall through. (Of course different grains have different sized and shaped holes.)(Wheat, oats, barley for example so you need different screens.) This first screen is to remove stones, straw, rabbit poop, or any larger items. It simply dumps all of the garbage that makes it to the end of the screen onto the floor in front of the mill. The second stage (screen) is sloped in the opposite direction. And depending on how the fan is situated, is designed and sized so that the wheat must travel the whole distance because the holes are too small for it to fall through, but weed seeds and dirt get through the small…
