I'm at a hotel where the power just went out. I'm glad I have a flashlight in my EDC.
While this isn't a huge "disaster," having a few good EDC items continually come in handy.
When most people have their phones and tablets to provide light, I'm rocking a Streamlight ProTac 1AA...
If the gloves don't fit, you must acquit.

Wow! I hadn't seen this video before, and I thought it was an amazing glimpse into it. I thought the most interesting part were the (very) short views of children reloading ammo with hammers, steel punches and blocks.

I just watched hickok45's video on hard cast vs. soft lead bullets, and while I don't do any reloading, I've only ever bought jacketed ammo, and the only time I ever cast bullets was casting .50 cal balls for a muzzleloader over a decade ago, sometimes I like to fantasize about getting into...
If I have a gun that is literally a piece of trash and just want to throw it away, what needs to be done to dispose of it? Cut the frame/receiver and pitch the pieces into the trash can? It has no value, isn't worth selling, and certainly isn't worth keeping. It's junk.
Has anyone else...

How long should you wait to cut off a trapped limb? - By Brian Palmer - Slate Magazine
I never really though about "how long I should wait," really, I never really gave much thought to having to sever a limb. Twenty-four hours sounds like a good time frame, but honestly, I'd rather not think...
I recently watched this video explaining first past the post voting, and thought it was interesting. Most of us have some inclination about how this works and its problems, but it was nice to have it explained in six and a half minutes.

I was perusing the http://www.cbrps.com website and noticed an interesting conversion for a draco pistol.
Their site states from the BATFE:
Great, so with no fore grip, this is a pistol that can probably reach your shoulder if you scrunch up a little bit.
So, will any pistol with a "thing"...

I was having some feeding problem with my LCP, so I took the time to remove the blue and polish the feed ramp. After a while, the blue was wearing off the top of the barrel anyways, so I figured I'd remove the blue on the whole barrel and polish it. I won't claim it's the best polish job, but...
I came across this hand-powered device for doing a few pieces of laundry. Not that laundry is a top priority in SHTF, but it could be nice to have, or useful in some place without electricity.

I picked up this little .22lr revolver from a fellow member not too long ago and have shot it before without incident. I knew it wasn't a revolver of outstanding quality, but it functioned and I had fun.
I was through a few shots when I proceeded to pull the trigger, and instead of the usual...

We already have the surgeon general's warning on cigarettes. It looks like these new "warning labels" are designed to make people feel bad.
Yeah, that's what we need, our regulators guilt-tripping us into compliance.
