The Top 100 Items to Disappear First
by Mr. Smashy Survival Cache You could also call this “The Top 100 Things You should start stocking up on.” Even if you don’t need more than 2 (you should always have 2 of everything) each item on this list will be great for bartering. I’ve linked to a couple of the items you are less likely to find at Wal-Mart and other local stores. Generators Water Filters/Purifiers Portable Toilets Seasoned Firewood Lamp Oil, Wicks, Lamps Coleman Fuel. What’s Missing? What do you think will disappear before these things that’s not on the list?

10 Fascinating Cases of Mind Control
Animals Controlling the minds of other living creatures is simply the stuff of science fiction right? Well for some creatures becoming a real live zombie is a daily hazard. Here are 10 examples of real parasitic behavior modifications. Phorid flies Pseudacteon The genus Pseudacteon, of which 110 species have been documented, is a parasitoid of the ant in South America. Toxoplasma gondii is a common parasite the definitive host of which is the cat, but the parasite can be carried by all known mammals including humans. Euhaplorchis Californiensis This parasite lives in the gut of shorebirds and produces eggs that are released in the bird’s stool which are spread into the salt-water marshes and ponds of southern California. Jewel Wasp Ampulex Compressa When a female jewel wasp is ready to lay its egg it finds a cockroach and administers two stings. Hairworm Spinochordodes Tellinii This worm’s larva develops and grows inside orthopteran insects (grasshoppers, crickets, etc.). Lancet Liver Fluke
Arming Yourself for the Zombie Apocalypse: How to Build the Ultimate Survival Shotgun
Editor’s note: This is a guest post from Creek Stewart of Willow Haven Outdoor. As a Survival and Preparedness instructor, I take my line of work very seriously–sometimes too seriously. Occasionally, though, I like to take on survival projects that are just downright fun. This article highlights one of those projects. I’m fortunate in that I’ve been able to turn my passion into my profession–this being the study of Survival and Preparedness. Ultimately your survival needs fall into five main categories. WaterFireShelterSignalingFood Every survival kit must include contents that directly or indirectly meet these five basic survival needs. Mossberg 500 Pump Action Shotgun Before Survival/Zombie Modifications I will now break down each survival modification and detail why it was included in the final build. Ammunition First things first: the gun itself. Your Arsenal: Bird Shot, Buck Shot, and Slugs In addition to hunting, a shotgun is an excellent self-defense weapon. Side Saddle on the Stock Saw

10 Ways Our Minds Warp Time
How time perception is warped by life-threatening situations, eye movements, tiredness, hypnosis, age, the emotions and more… The mind does funny things to our experience of time. Just ask French cave expert Michel Siffre. In 1962 Siffre went to live in a cave that was completely isolated from mechanical clocks and natural light. When he tried to measure out two minutes by counting up to 120 at one-second intervals, it took him 5 minutes. But you don’t have to hide out in a cave for a couple of months to warp time, it happens to us all the time. 1. People often report that time seems to slow down in life-threatening situations, like skydiving. But are we really processing more information in these seconds when time seems to stretch? To test this, Stetson et al. (2007) had people staring at a special chronometer while free-falling 50 metres into a net. 2. We’ve all experienced the fact that time seems to fly when we’re having fun. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. Time is relative

The Unreal Universe
Reality, as we sense it, is not quite real. The stars we see in the night sky, for instance, are not really there. They may have moved or even died by the time we get to see them. Even the sun that we know so well is already eight minutes old by the time we see it. What is surprising (and seldom highlighted) is that when it comes to sensing motion, we cannot back-calculate in the same kind of way as we can to correct for the delay in observation of the sun. Einstein chose to resolve the problem by treating perception as distorted and inventing new fundamental properties in the arena of physics - in the description of space and time. Einstein instead redefined simultaneity by using the instants in time we detect the event. The mathematical difference spawns different philosophical stances, which in turn percolate to the understanding of our physical picture of reality. Special Relativity gives an unambiguous answer to this question. About the Author Special acknowledgement
Fire Escape Rapunzel System
Posted on January 6, 2011 by saya Wow, the Rapunzel Box, though actually designed for a quick escape during fire, seems just like a new wear for superman and superwoman. I mean, that’s the coolest way to escape from fire. The Rapunzel is usually equipped within a building, offering several boxes for people to use. Whenever a fire bursts, you’re suggested to put your hand into the Rapunzel box to grab the handle, let your wrist fixed by Rapunzel and then land onto the ground.
