In the cold north, ether will be necessary to start the vehicle as old fuel looses it's potency.<br /><br />Thanks!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8939666320943790100.post-81402737940425905652009-12-07T12:03:59.315-08:002009-12-07T12:03:59.315-08:00Maybe I should have said, the Chinese stoves are n...Maybe I should have said, the Chinese stoves are not legal to use INDOORS. There are laws against cooking indoors with fuel based hot plates (basically what those are) because many Americans are too stupid to do it properly, risking explosion and/or asphyxiation. Of course, after SHTF, such nanny state laws may be rarely enforced. <br /><br />I think that the design of houses in the US is at least partially intentional, so that police can enter any house at any time with a minimum of fuss. <br /><br />I remember when my dad bought "steel" doors for his new house, the doors were essentially two thin sheets of steel surrounding a wood core, in a door surround of EXTREMELY cheap pine. Looking at what was billed as a "security door", I realized that the door was designed that way on purpose, so that any police that wanted to enter the house without owner consent could do so with a swift kick. <br /><br />Bolt locks typically don't go any farther in the wall than this cheap doorjamb, also on purpose. I have seen utility doors that are hollow steel with a thin steel doorjamb, but those could be defeated with some sort of battering ram. The police state doesn't want to work at breaking into anybody's house. <br /><br />Unfortunately, this also lets a mob or a warlord's militia break into one's house easily. There is really no way to defend against a door being kicked in in the USA due to measures taken to insure that nobody can hide from the cops.Loquisimonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8939666320943790100.post-54992999239216596602009-12-06T20:49:36.469-08:002009-12-06T20:49:36.469-08:00How are Chinese stoves really not legal to use?

Especially the need for strong doors, of which there are next to none installed on the homes in my area. Houses here in the U.S. seem to be designed to be easily entered by force.<br /><br />It would be interesting to be able to read the writing on those Russian (?) diagrams he linked to. Not that I'm planning on ever building one, it just seems like a good thing to know how to do. However; even without the words the diagrams are pretty self explanatory.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8939666320943790100.post-82119389578678057252009-12-06T17:43:43.482-08:002009-12-06T17:43:43.482-08:00I had a thought re stoves.

I live in an area with a large Asian population, so Chinese stoves are available, albeit on the gray market, they're really not legal to use, but legal to OWN. <br /><br />These stoves are generally made with rural Chinese in mind, so they would probably be more likely to be more forgiving where fuel is concerned, since cooking fuel in rural China is likely of middling quality-rural China is very third world. The stoves have to be tough, since a rural farmer will likely only have one or two stoves during his lifetime. <br /><br />If you can get to the West Coast of the US, you can find these Chinese stoves, albeit you have to ask a few questions of people who don't speak good English and are suspicious of a white man. Sometimes they are sold at flea markets. I think that they would be a better choice than any American product, which by its nature is designed for light use in "soft" outdoor settings, like a camping trip.Loquisimonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8939666320943790100.post-57993142702922443262009-12-05T08:44:54.772-08:002009-12-05T08:44:54.772-08:00This article, as many others, shows the importance...This article, as many others, shows the importance of the "gray man" approach to chaotic social conditions.

It's not so difficult to carry (purchasing a wallet that holds one might be easiest, although, I prefer to hide it inside my pants) and moving around without one can be tough if one is too far from the primary residence, or it has been destroyed. Right after 9-11 I got on planes within the US on two occasions because I had two forms of ID (drivers license and Passport) which most did not. <br /><br />It's of interest that he's talking about Zombie time here, not just an economic collapse. The US is divided into some very serious factions, racial, political, and regional. If one loves the warm smell of the heard and insists on becoming part be advised you might find yourself involved in many distasteful and counter productive activities. However, banding together with like minded folks, like family, friends and neighbors, has some great utility in protecting you and will give you greater autonomy them being involved with a gang. <br /><br />What this gentleman is explaining is more than civil war. This is faction/gang/racial based 4th generation warfare that Bill Lind has been talking about for years. The Western version of the nation state is withering away and as it does primary loyalties will shift from the state to more local concerns.ENhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12193563623321560413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8939666320943790100.post-72604315791834833652009-12-04T07:26:15.358-08:002009-12-04T07:26:15.358-08:00Thank you.Thank you.Shambhalanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8939666320943790100.post-77612515871774635042009-12-04T04:28:18.133-08:002009-12-04T04:28:18.133-08:00Very good article,however I believe the situation ...Very good article,however I believe the situation will be somewhat different in the usa,our culture/race is quite different from most other areas.<br /> City/drug gangs are generally along racial lines.The color of your skin will be your uniform,in the beginning,evolving from there to a more complex system..<br /> The White population is armed to the teeth,and even though less 'grouped' than the others,the will come together fast and furious,esp.in the southern regions,where the fighting blood line is strongest..<br /> Each area will have it's unique story's to tell later,but we will learn from all,especially from those who have gone before the usa's demise.<br /> This blog is the best,thanks from deep in the mountains of the<br />Southern Empire...<br /><br />don't waste time on fixing blame on fast-moving targets, just figure out how to get to the other side of the lake without getting your feet wet.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8939666320943790100.post-91539847884766359292009-12-04T00:51:01.998-08:002009-12-04T00:51:01.998-08:00That was intersting, no doubt.
