Bug Out Bag

Giving the Gift of Preparedness

Yesterday was one of my friends Birthday and also a I spent cleaning and organizing. Going through all my survival gear I realized I had a lot of items that had been upgraded several times over. To de-clutter some and to help my very un-prepared friend I decided to pack him a basic Bug Out Bag. Of course I documented the BOB building so you can see what all I put in there.

Top Ten Punk Christmas Songs

Bah humbug!Five days into the month of Christmas and I’m already tired of Christmas music. Not that I hate all of it, I just don’t want to hear music on one subject constantly for a month. A guy at my work suggested I put a little more punk in the Survivalpunk and do an article on Christmas Punk music. After thinking about it I only knew one of the top of my head. I dug around to flesh out the list and this is what I’ve come up with. If traditional Christmas tunes are driving you mad as well give this list a try.

Four Hour Chef

Four Hour Chef by Tim Ferriss: Not your grannies cook book

I’ve been following Tim’s work for a few years now and was very excited for his new book Four Hour Chef. Tim has an amazing ability to learn new skills and simplify them for others. Although I do love cooking what excited me most about his new book was the break down of his learning methods. Before he shows you how to make some amazing food he shows you how to quickly learn any skill. Combine meta learning, cooking, a huge section on survival and hilarious life stories and you have me. Let me share some thoughts with you my thoughts on why you should grab this book.
