What Big Survival Knives Are For And How To Use One Ironically this guy actually was a Commando, in the Australian SAS. C'mon, Matrix, let's party! I thought he was awesome in The Road Warrior. I expect to see an army of men like him in assless chaps (yes, I know chaps are usually assless so the wording is redundant) rolling down the street within 5 minutes of the apocalypse. God, I totally didn't realize that was the same guy. And I think "assless chaps" is totally legit, since while the chaps themselves don't have an ass, people usually wear pants underneath.

Big Steps In Building: Change Our Wiring to 12 Volt DC Edison was right; direct current is better than alternating current. Tesla and Westinghouse won the current wars, because it was easy to transform into different voltages without electronics, and they needed high voltages, which travel longer distances in smaller wires than low voltage. Our current system is based on big, central power plants like Niagara Falls shown above, that pump out high voltage (as much as 400,000 volts), step it down to 22 thousand volts for distribution at street level, then down to 110/220 for distribution to our houses. At every step, there are transmission losses; as much as 10% of the electricity transmitted by the power plant is lost on the way. The losses are higher in AC than in DC because it grounds so easily; according to the Economist, DC distribution is far more efficient. And then we get to our homes and offices.... The Google boys, Sergei and Larry, think this is dumb too. 1) Develop a universal standard around 12 volt dc for all electronics.

The Bug Out Bag Most of our go bags only borrow the name, featuring the things we like to carry on a regular basis. Reader Scott Kelley takes his gear a little more seriously and has a "bug out bag" system that's versatile and geared towards survival. Scott posted a ton of detail on his Kinja blog, so rather than summarizing it and missing out on much of the good stuff, we're republishing the whole post here. Check out everything he's currently doing below. If you have a great go bag with a useful organization scheme and great features, let us know! 81Reply <a href="#" class="reply-to-post reply-count hover-icon proxima text-small" rel="nofollow">Discuss</a>

The Art and Science of Muskrat Cooking Do you have what it takes to win a rodent cooking competition? One man's journey into a most unusual culinary challenge. By Troy Andrews on March 26, 2014 I live in Washington, D.C. We all live in some kind of a bubble. From my gentrified perch in a renovated Columbia Heights row house, I recently stumbled upon an episode of “Bizarre Foods” with Andrew Zimmern that profiled the Baltimore and the Chesapeake Bay region. More to the point, what is a muskrat? While I had traveled across the Bay Bridge to Maryland’s Eastern Shore before, never had I been that far south. Not being one to shy away from a good challenge, my journey into muskrat cuisine — and the National Outdoor Show, the beating heart of muskrat culture — began. My dad is from Hong Kong. But the notion of “food” is perhaps just as fluid, if not more so, than the confusing identity baggage I drag to each meal I consume. But something else caught my attention. This isn’t like bringing home meat from the grocery store.
