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”. If you thought the aluminum foil knife was incredible, wait till you see the one featured today. It’s downright delicious!
The Greatest Murder Machine in History
Who holds this title? Some would say Stalin, others would claim Mao. Some would even say the U.S. because of abortion. The numbers are difficult to ascertain because so much murder goes on in secret or is covered up and sometimes even forgotten. However, one particular murderer stands out even with fuzzy numbers – Islam. When you consider all the slaves who died along with the deliberate genocide brought on by this “religion of peace”, you end up arriving at a number in excess of 200 million. Islam doesn’t move as fast as some other infamous murdering regimes, but it plods steadily onward. Lately, it has even obtained protected status by the liberal/progressive left. Thanks to reader A.D. for the link.
Hypocrites
Reader W.W. sent in this article on the hypocrites that make up the majority of Hollywood actors. In this case, anti-gun Alyssa Milano held an anti-NRA protest in downtown Dallas during the NRA convention – surrounded by armed guards. When one passersby noted that the guards were armed, he was illegally ejected from the public park by the guards. While the confrontation was not violent, the threat of violence from the guards was quite pronounced. The whole incident was filmed by someone with a cellphone. Milano later claimed not to have known that her guards were armed. I’ll file that excuse under “not likely”.
Delicious Pastabilities
This same artist brought you the knife made out of aluminum foil earlier this year and now he has one made out of pasta. Showing that the ingenuity of people makes the UK’s knife policies a sham. The video walks you though the whole process of turning your average, every day spaghetti pasta into a razor sharp knife using two different processes. While the artist does have some specialized sharpening equipment (as you would expect of a Japanese knife artist) you can obtain a usable edge on nothing more than a concrete sidewalk. Hey, you can eat with it or you can eat it. What more can you ask for? Thanks to reader T.Z. for the link.
Self-Sufficiency is a Universal Right and Gift from God
This video, sent in by reader W.A. shows the primitive meal preparation of a woman from start to finish. She starts out by gathering edible plants and ends up making quite the gourmet meal. I have no idea what the plants are that she harvested as they are obviously not grown in my particular area, but the bounty that she starts and ends with is pretty incredible.
Gun-Sanctuary
As Illinois has begun to lean hard left on the gun control issue, some counties are taking operational cues from the left and declaring themselves sanctuary counties – not for illegal immigrants, but for gun owners. At least five counties have passed resolutions declaring that they will not cooperate with the state if it passes a host of gun bills, including age restrictions, bump-stock bans and size limits for magazines. A spokesperson of one county has reported that at least 20 Illinois counties and local officials in Oregon and Washington have asked for copies of their resolution. Thanks to M.M. for the link.
3D Skin Printer
Reader H.L. sent in this article from the University of Toronto profiling a new 3D printer that deposits even layers of skin tissue to cover and heal deep wounds. We’ve seen some innovative skin regrowth techniques developed in recent history such as spraying skin cells on burn victims to stimulate rapid growth over the affected areas, but this may be the first time that the tissue is formed in situ, depositing and setting in place within two minutes or less. Obviously, this technology is out of range for your own private medical bag, but the Star Trek-like device is still pretty amazing.
Survival Realty
Survival Realty has a property listed for sell that would make a good retreat. This is five acres on a private road, with a well and woodstove heat. It has an outback inverter for solar power and includes a backup generator. If you are thinking of Wyoming, you should check this listing out.

Please send your news tips to HJL. (Either via e-mail of via our Contact form.) These are often especially relevant, because they come from folks who watch news that is important to them. Due to their diligence and focus, we benefit from fresh “on target” news. We often “get the scoop” on news that is most likely ignored (or reported late) by mainstream American news outlets. Thanks!
The 3D skin printer sounds a lot like one of the opening scenes in “The Fifth Element”!
“… shows the primitive meal preparation of a woman from start to finish. ”
So, we’re already at the cannibalism stage.
I thought I had more time……
Gun – Sanctuary:
Let the games begin.
Let the American People take back the country and if necessary county-by-county, state-by-state.
I here by declare Jackson County Oregon A Gun Sanctuary County in the state of Oregon.
Now, let’s see about getting the State of Jefferson On line and running along with the soon to be new State of Liberty.
Next chop up the Federal Ninth Circuit Court (circus). We The People need to take back our country from the Tyrants, this includes our Courts and Laws. This another long overdue NEED of the people. For years the Ninth Circus has Dis-regarded the U.S. Constitution to suit and/or change it as needed to help the Socialist.
We can do this ya’ll.
God Bless The U.S.A.
Re: Hypocrites. Thanks Reader W.W. So, lets say I’m on the market for ‘guards’ to accompany me to a random event. So, I start by comparing the prices of armed guards vs. non-armed guards. Where do I even put bids out? How can I hire anybody for this gig?
Is there really any value in a cadre of unarmed rent-a-cops?
he article goes on to say that the observer was enforceable removed from a public place. Under whos authority would that hold water? What is there were an altercation with the ‘armed gang’ and anybody resisted being ‘moved’? Is this armed thug-ring really holding the weight of death when they order someone to do anything?
The claim that ‘Milano later claimed not to have known that her guards were armed.’ does not hold water. I’m sure there is a distinctively different price tag for armed guards.
A whole lot of silly stuff going on in this country, and it’s only May! The lies from the left are already a foot deep. I quit going to protests because they aren’t effective like what the lefties do, as people of responsibility don’t riot and burn. The answer is to find effective means for change that does not copy what our enemies do.
