Don’t get knocked out!

December 30, 2013April 9, 2015 James Burnette

I’ve been hearing an awful lot about this knockout game lately and I’m can’t stand hearing about this sick game. I’m sure most of you have heard about it by now. It’s a twisted game where kid’s try to knock someone unconscious. The game should be renamed the murder game with all the lives that have been lost because of this. Not to detract from how fucked up it is to think it’s a good idea to go around attacking random people. Is this what a generation of fatherless young men think is a fun time? Were they raised by scum with no morals instilled in them? Whatever the reasons I don’t myself or any of you to be a victim. Today I’ll share some strategies that could help you avoid it.

Paleo Ginger Cookies

I decided to make some ginger cookies this year. They will of course be paleo and easy. There is reason I usually don’t do baking recipes on the blog. I hate baking. It’s too precise, measured and times for me. I like my cooking to be freestyle. I searched around the web for a paleo ginger snap type cookie to base the recipe on and in the end decided to make it up completely. I based it on my paleo bread recipe I did last year. I like it because it’s so easy to make without strict recipe structure. So let’s once again start baking.

Ceramic Flower Pot Heater

There are a few videos going around the web on heating a room using a Ceramic Flower Pot Heater. Powered by nothing but tea lights. The British video has the presenter saying it costs him 8 pence a day to heat his room. I did the math for you and that comes to .13 cents usd. With claims like that this video is going pretty viral in the survival community. If it turns out to be legit this is a great backup and off grid heat source. I knew I had to put on mythbuster had and give it a go. I went to the store and got supplies and have been testing for over a week. Today I’ll share the result with you on whether it’s worth it.

My paleo journey has led me to looking into crossfit. Some of you may be wondering what is Crossfit, what is has to do with Survival and why you should care about it. I believe I can convince you that it is a survival topic and one worth looking into. With over 7,000 gyms, called boxes, in the US I’m sure there is one near you but for today I’m going to show you how to get started at home. To get started you will not need any equipment only a desire to become more fit. So get ready and let’s jump into the world of crossfit.

Bacon Cinnamon Roll

I love bacon. It’s not much of a confession seeing as everyone that knows me knows this. Every time anything with bacon in it shows up on the internet people will tag me on Facebook. There is a bacon cinnamon roll picture going around that I’ve been shown a million times now. The idea is to buy a cinnamon rolls in the can and unroll them put bacon in them and roll them back up. While I’m sure this is probably tasty I will never try it. I just don’t eat that crap not even with bacon. It did give me an idea though. Why bother even using the cinnamon roll, just make the whole thing from bacon. I figured it would be either delicious or disgusting. Well folks I’m your guinea pig so lets try this.
