SurvivalBlog presents another edition of The Survivalist’s Odds ‘n Sods— a collection of news bits and pieces that are relevant to the modern survivalist and prepper from “HJL”. The Saudi Arabia and Iran power struggle is beginning to heat up again.
C&S Saddlery
I just heard the Clay of C&S Saddlery will have tables at the upcoming Big Reno Gun Show. (November 10, 11, 12.) He wil be taking orders on his custom-made leather holsters and magazine pouches. His latest mag pouch design is a variation on the classic Milt Sparks Six Pack. He will be making those with either dividers for six M1911 .45 magazines, or for three Glock Model 21 .45 magazines.
Bundy Trial – Government Misbehavior
Ryan Bundy was mocked by the government when he asked about a camera being used by the federal government during the standoff. Now, after three years and two previous trials in which the existence of the live camera was repeatedly denied by the government, a National Park Service Manager revealed in court that it was used. The government has deliberately lied about evidence they were supposed to disclose. Practically every other motion made by the defense has been denied. However, the judge is allowing a motion to dismiss based upon the revelation of this evidence to proceed.
Saudi Arabia Turmoil
The next hotspot is brewing. Yemen’s air force on Saturday targeted an airport in Saudi Arabia’s capital with a ballistic missile which was intercepted by Patriot anti-missiles. Saudi Arabia and Yemen have been embroiled in a low intensity war for two years. Yemen has devolved into tribal chaos and forces desiring the toppling of the King (and family) have taken hold. This is not the first time Yemen has struck at the capitol city though. It was certainly more accurate than most other attempts. It should be noted that Saudi Arabia makes regular air excursions into Yemen to strike at terrorist forces. Thanks to H.L. for the link.
