I was just reading h3rm35 that eating the rhizomes and fresh shoots of bracken is not only nutritious and non carciogenic but that after a week or so a person stinks so much of bracken that animals like deer cannot smell you if you are trying to stalk them somehow..is it right??

I propose that you be moderator of the survival sub forums

bracken rhizomes from autumn/fall to spring only i read - is it so???

it would take me years to be proficient at picking the lock on my bike lock; if I needed my bike quick and had no keys - losing the lock by cutting thru it with a hacksaw would be my best option. I am trying to self school myself in a lot of things right now and lock picking is a video i hope to finally get off the tracker when my bittorrent finally can see concen again lol but occum wise for sure it is the saw right now not to sound prosaic unintentionally.

I propose that you are welcomed into the community firther as a refugee and given the place of moderating all and any daughter boards relating to survival and how to survive.

I hate/d the survival of the fittest motif - fuck that shit right out the window and down the well..not the drinking well. the sub forum here used to be called "survival of the fittest" before the sometimes aggressively sensitive but cool guy with the server waved out the cobwebs. and that was all good in that it is a bit of a shake up and that is what is needed if not more,eh?

darwin was okay in the end..possibly - tried to refute the frenzy from his theory.. hu knows?

anyhow- tis place is fuckd unless ppl pack all their sours into 2009's trunk imho lol

wilkommen zu concen

I honestly don't know about bracken roots hiding scent, but I have read the clinical trials in animals that show direct correlation to cancers... there are currently long term human studies going on in Japan, but their preliminary results have yet to be announced, at least in English and where I can find them. I'm no fan of traditional western medicine, but when clinicians say something might cause (particularly) stomach cancer, I stay the hell away from it, because it's one of the most agonizing deaths I've ever heard of. I watched my grandfather die of it, and it kind of made me prejudiced.

As far as picking a bike lock, if it's a "U" lock with a tubular key, the best tool you could use, (as far as speed is concerned,) is a car jack, not a hack saw. Bolt cutters wouldn't do a thing to most of them, either.

As far as being a mod, I just got here...
I guess I wouldn't mind doing it if asked by an admin, but I haven't been here long enough to really know site protocols or the members of this forum. I'm not a particularly big fan of forum-localized flame wars or other forms of internal politics, and on top of that, I certainly am not well enough versed in the personalities here to think that I'm anywhere near the most qualified for that position.

All that being said, If this sub-forum needs a mod, and people who know the site think I'm qualified, I'd take it on.

It's none of my business for I no longer work here anymore, but if they did make you a mod instead of promotiing someone who's been here 5,6 or 7 years, I'd be making noise and protesting. It's nothing against you h3rm35, but I just don't think you've earned it yet.... And never mind my "join date". I'm technically member #1.

h3rm35 · 01-12-2010, 03:25 AM

yeah... that's what I figured. I wouldn't really have wanted it anyway... never really entered my mind as an option.

Hey man, congrats if you do make it there someday. This place is a circus, a dysfunctional family if you will... but there's some really good die-hard, hardcore folks here. I hope you stick around. Smile

Just watch out for that inheritor chick. She's a real bitch unless you're on her good side!

i was just thinking about youtr 14 yrs survivalist education experience and in terms of facilitating a place where you could dl such with minimum fuss.. it was a wild idea *shrugs* Smile

yes, car jacks on u locks are more brutal for sure. when i take that bike out and amgoing to need to lock it somewere i use a mototbike chain. it is weighty enough but i feel it is worth it after living in the north of teh uk lol. also when in the bag unlocked a formidable chain weapon if someone tries to clothesline you to stupour off the bike.

people/"people" whp understand violence seem to have a free range/gamut but luckily we arent going to take it anymore. thats basically how i look at it.

Ifthey areafter someone that person is going to have scant chance without some form of social network in RL -ppl like me have jack in those terms and many of us have kids too - we will just soldier on

imo.

did you ever see that chorozon ritual for real in a slick illuminati porn flick? i did - a few times, went looking for it - it confounds me more than seeing ufos tbh

Filtration IS NOT "purification" and don't let any shyster filter salesman bullshit you otherwise.

Im actually in water filter sales. Dont consider myself a shyster though Icon_biggrin

I can vouch for that statement. Filtration is just filtration. Distilling and Reverse Osmosis are more in the area of purification. The only issue with those is, the good minerals are taken out of the water as well.

Well lesee -- I got a flee that can jump through a burning ring of fire (Johnny), another that can do backflips and scurry across a tightrope (Flippy) and one more that can free lift a small child or a dwarf (Hefty).

when i was a kid i could never figure out why ppl didnt attack the camp guards or run away from the ikraine. but that was then. Thare are possible world's where you are going to have to flee. the stupid general poulas take it as a luagh issue nowdaze but i see clearly on it. too manyscreaming deadin central europe to not ken it

just didnt see the point in deriding the thread - u r staying in edmonton whatever happens - np bro but it is a gtfo threadwhy deride it? Tongue

I'm not mocking the idea - just thought I'd inject my twisted humor since I think this tread has covered all the bases. I have nothing more of substance to add. But there are those who would laugh at such a proposition as a flea kit.

Besides gear, one of the best things you could do is prepare to do a little hunting of small and large game from snares, slingshot, bow, and gun. A bit about gutting and skinny would go a long way as well. I pack a small fishing kit in my BOB/INCH kit and since we're two that means at least 2 rifles. Being near an ocean is beneficial as most seaweeds are edible, but not all are palatable. And one of the most important things IMO is to learn about foraging from local plants/trees etc in your locale. Usually there are local groups that do walks, you just have to look around but there are books too. Guided walks are impossible to beat however.

For water we have two sport water bottles with filters, a Katadyn ceramic hand pump, and while boiling water is the best it also uses a lot of fuel and time so I've got a Steripen and spare batteries.

For fire I love my fire piston but fire by friction is a must.

I'll take spark over friction when given the choice, but anyhoo... how well does the piston work? Tried it yet? I've seen a few demo's on the net and they're nothing I'd stake my survival on.

Fire piston works great. Got mine from Les Stroud's Survivorman website. But I've got 7 ways to Sunday way of making fire. It's kind of an obsession of mine.

Say Mike, why the BB and .22? I love the idea of a BB for small game, and it's quiet so I wouldn't see the need for the .22 unless it's a magnum. A 45-70 gov't Marlin Guide Gun or a 12 ga would cover the big stuff like bear protection or big game.

Getting all this junk, without knowing what to do with them when the times comes, is pointless.

So true, and different climates and in different seasons also is benificial, knowledge is the one thing your reasonably sure they can't take away you, all posessions can be re-aquired, even by force if need be

What I do recommend (other than the obvious stuff) is:

Bolt cutters - to break chains to steal boats and break into yards.
Various tools - to turn on vehicles without keys and break into buildings.
Know how is ultra critical, and not just how to hotwire, start but fix, fuel, ect.... better to learn how to ride horses, or to get a really good bike, with spare parts.[color]
Large thick plastic sheet - the best way to get good cover during a rainstorm.
Book on knots - it is too hard to remember all of them.
Boot on edible plants - make sure to have it as specific as possible to where you live.
[/color]
Illegal narcotics - more valuable than gold/silver for trading.
D- you betcha!!! and booze weighs more but if strong enough can also be a fuel!!!! I know two places that hope to survive after "Chaos" with stills I can tell you i'll be doing a run to them a few times a year to keep my bars stocked will keep others comming and trading
