93 Many of you will recall our popular seven-part series on basic survival skills, "At Home in the Wilderness," which appeared in MOTHER NOS. 71 through 77. We're pleased to announce that its creator, outdoor expert Tom Brown Jr. (author of The Tracker, The Search, and Tom Brown's Guide to Wilderness Survival, and director of one of the country's largest tracking and wilderness survival schools), has agreed to resume the series for MOTHER's readers. In the issues to come, Tom will strive to provide us all with a deeper, more intimate understanding of nature and the art of survival. Survival training involves far more than just learning the skills necessary to endure hardship. Sadly, the conveniences our civilization has devised have separated most of us from nature. This is not only regrettable, but also dangerous. Granted, you may never be faced with a life-or-death situation. Keep a cool head. Finding Water: Usually, water is easy to locate in the wild. Awareness is the key.

Laz's 2011 Flashlight Buyers Guide * Warning this guide is aimed at first time buyers of quality LED lights. Those looking for $5 lights look elsewhere. * Caution to experts. There will be simplification, technical heresy, summarization, cpf blasphemy and general boiling down of information. Not for the faint hearted. During the last 6 months I've embarked on a quest to overhaul my extremely outdated flashlights. The amount of information out there is almost overwhelming. For the most part the internet information came in two varieties. This guide attempts to point buyer’s straight too high value lights in defined categories. First what not to buy - Ordering from DealExtreme or similar site. Battery Brush-up General Purpose/ Heavy Duty / Super Heavy Duty – These are cheap batteries made from zinc. Alkaline – Standard disposable battery. $0.25-$1 a cell. Oxyride – Fancy alkalines with slightly better performance. Lithium – High end disposable batteries. NiCad – Old rechargeable batteries. General way to relate to lumens.
79 When you're caught in a bind -- or at the end of your rope -- this skill could come in handy. MAKING NATURAL CORDAGE Tom Brown Jr. and Brandt Morgan Tom Brown, Jr. -- whose "At Home in the Wilderness" articles ran in MOTHER NOS. 71-77 -- isn't a stranger to most of our readers. And although, Tom concluded his series two issues back, we couldn’t resist the opportunity to add to that body of woodlore by running this article … which should be as valuable to folks involved in the various forms of string art as it certainly will be to those concerned with learning the skills necessary to get along in the wilds. Cordage -- that is, thread, string, or rope – is all but indispensable in a survival situation. Just about any strong, flexibie fiber can be used to produce good cordage. The dried inner skin of the stalks of fibrous plants will also serve your purpose, as will fibrous leaves and even dried grasses (again, see the accompanying list).
Lagoonia Lagoonia was a browser-based social game developed and published by InnoGames which gave players the opportunity to build up their own tropical island paradise. The focus of Lagoonia was the social interaction between the players like talking, playing together or flirting. It also offered a variety of options in character development and witnessing the whole life circle of a character from birth to death. Starting out as the survivor of a plane crash, players of Lagoonia had to begin a new life on a deserted island. Since Lagoonia was discontinued at the end of 2013, you may want to check out the current game portfolio of InnoGames.
How To Be A World-Class Survivalist in 5 Simple Steps Joy Paley Activist Post With the recent econopocalypse, it’s no wonder that people are becoming more interested in what it would take to survive after our current society has undergone a major shift. After all, if something we thought was intrinsically stable—our financial sector, and the guarantee of ever increasing wealth—is actually pretty flimsy, well, a lot of other things can be brought into question too. Take out a seemingly small piece of the puzzle, like access to gasoline, and you find that your local grocery will run out of goods within 2 days. Learning the basic skills to survive without the modern conveniences of society is a way to prepare yourself for these unpredictable shifts. 1. 2. 3. • Stock up a pantry of canned goods—think beans, tuna, veggies, fruit, and soups • Get bulk basics like oil, sugar, salt, peanut butter, rice, lentils, and any other grains you prefer • Pick up a rechargeable LED flashlight 4. 5.
Welcome to Survival UK | Survival UK By Skean Dhude Hi, Welcome to this site. A survival site that is biased towards survival in the UK. Be it simply living in a more sustainable manner in our economic climate or living through some natural or political event. You never know what the future hold and we are already tightening our belts due to political incompetence. Those socialist clowns from the Labour circus have been replaced with socialist clowns from the Conservatives and Lib Dems so things have not really changed and it is going to take a while before it gets any better. As you are aware the UK is already in big trouble. To this end I intend to tailor articles to allow everyone to benefit from the information so they can live within their means and supplement their standard of living and also prepare for a potentially worse situation while staying within UK law. Feel free to click the categories down the side to select your interest. Join the Forum and get involved with our discussions.
77 Tom Brown, Jr. with Brandt Morgan Tracking is an age-old art . . . and one that's been pretty much forgotten in modern times. The finely honed skills that native Americans once used to sustain and protect themselves have been — in the eyes of many people — rendered unnecessary by supermarkets and government-provided security. Of course, as is the case with almost any avocation, it takes years of dedication and practice to become an expert tracker . . . but anyone can become more sensitive to the flow of animal life by simply learning to recognize the basic signs of its passage. Learning to track is like learning to read: Before you can begin making out meaningful words, sentences, and paragraphs, you have to know the alphabet. The felines include the house cat, bobcat, lynx, and cougar. The canines include dogs, foxes, coyotes, and wolves. The weasel family consists of martens, fishers, minks, ferrets, skunks, otters, badgers, wolverines, and (of course) weasels.
Carnegie Mellon performs first large-scale analysis of 'soft' censorship of social media in China Public release date: 7-Mar-2012 [ Print | E-mail Share ] [ Close Window ] Contact: Byron Spicebspice@cs.cmu.edu 412-268-9068Carnegie Mellon University This release is also available in Chinese on EurekAlert! PITTSBURGH—Researchers in Carnegie Mellon University's School of Computer Science analyzed millions of Chinese microblogs, or "weibos," to uncover a set of politically sensitive terms that draw the attention of Chinese censors. The study is the first large-scale analysis of political content censorship in social media, a topic that drew attention and controversy earlier this year when Twitter announced a country-by-country policy for removing tweets that don't comply with local laws. In China, where online censorship is highly developed, the researchers found that oft-censored terms included well-known hot buttons, such as Falun Gong, a spiritual movement banned by the Chinese government, and human rights activists Ai Weiwei and Liu Xiaobo. Censored terms are not always political.
