Okay, the 10 survivalists on History Channel's "Alone" are down to 2, and the finale is this coming Thursday.  One of my favorite guys, Alan, is one of the two remaining after 44 (or so) days.  I've learned some things, and I hope you folks have enjoyed this show.  I'm not much for "reality" TV shows, as most of those shows are less reality and more show, but this one ("Alone") is more true to real survival.

Nice looking knife, Dead_left.  With the wide blade, it should be a solid worker.

On Aug. 28th, AMC is premiering the series, "Fear The Walking Dead".  It is about what happened when the zombies came to being and what people did to survive or not survive.  Deputy Rick is in his comma for the next 5 months.  It may be interesting on what they come up with.  Nice knife DLKG.

DLKG,

I am glad it lived up to your expectations!  Nothing is better than having a new knife show you it's stuff!

Finally got to do some work with my Camillus CK-9!  I love this little knife (9" long, blade & handle each equal half the length).  Made tinder (shavings & feather sticks) with no problem at all, & split larger logs into kindling really well (pine knots not even a problem, it just curved right around them along the grain, no binding problems at all).  I knew I'd love using this knife...

ROFL!!!  Ok the language was a bit rough but boy howdy is he right!

Just saw a video of what you should do to prepare for survival.  You'll see just how far Steve Hanner is ahead of most of us.  The Brits have this all figured out.  Don't know why nobody told us.  Warning: bad language.

Howard,

WOW, great idea.  Nice trip down the rabbit hole.

Sorry to play Negative Nellie but how would you like the smell of Bar-B-Que permeating your furniture, drapes, clothing and daily lives AFTER you had moved into the area...Knowing about it in advance is an altogether different matter, then only you are to blame.

What about a feed lot, swine farm or a sewage treatment plant moving into the neighbourhood after you purchased--same bloody difference--and in all cases your property value just decreased significantly...

I don't want to have to run A/C 24 hours daily because I can't open my windows to air my home out or to get a fresh breeze in the evening to sleep by.

It isn't that the big guys are playing with different sets of rules, they can just weather the storm better...If you can't take the heat then stay the Hell out of the kitchen.

Austin City Council members passed a preliminary plan in April to put restrictions on smoke from barbecue restaurants. Some Austin residents complain of the barbecue smoke saying they can’t enjoy their homes they purchased before some of these restaurants moved in.
