I'm actually looking for a bigger bag now, because the Push Pack isn't quite capable of doing everything I need it to do.<br /><br />My friends make fun of me for having a Batman Utility belt, but when something goes wrong they all turn to me for the tools to fix it.Pittnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8939666320943790100.post-49959773224443076242010-04-08T04:52:31.495-07:002010-04-08T04:52:31.495-07:00Hello

In the capital of the Republic of Kyrgyzstan haos. Look this, is not a game. This is reality. Of course, this happens in a faraway country. About that many people simply do not know. But it is happening now. People are dying ... Look at these links. This is not an artistic film. This is reality. The terrible reality. Have you checked your weapon? Do you have strong doors? On the windows have a grid? Do you have enough food and water?<br /><br />Webcam in the capital of Kirghiz Republic, the area in front of Government House - http://webcam.saimanet.kg/<br />The riots in Bishkek<br />http://thelede.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/04/07/video-of-protests-in-kyrgyzstan/<br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SZGVnzdzN-I&feature=player_embeddedAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8939666320943790100.post-6657395359928008272010-04-07T21:36:10.342-07:002010-04-07T21:36:10.342-07:00/bow/bowParaguay Insiderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11452222750018627731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8939666320943790100.post-25718538199290851302010-04-07T21:13:53.397-07:002010-04-07T21:13:53.397-07:00Excellent post, Ferfal.

Of course I carry it with me all the time. It's just a matter of getting used to it and just carrying what needs to be carried, the essentials.<br />There's many "EDC" bags with 10 pounds worth of stuff, they call it edc but dont carry it with them at all times so what's the point.<br />Stick to the basics, make the effort of carrying it for a month. After that its incorporated and yuo'll grab your bag when going out the door without thinking, just like women do with their purse. :-)<br />Manly enough here to make the comparison and not give a damn :^)<br /><br />FerFALFerFALhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07578136334334588454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8939666320943790100.post-74717837685837946522010-04-07T18:17:06.335-07:002010-04-07T18:17:06.335-07:001) What you know is the most valuable.
Learning ...1) What you know is the most valuable. <br />Learning + practise = knowing<br /><br />2) Our body is our first and last line of defense. It is quite a powerful tool, as proven for centuries by the shao-lin monks.<br /><br />10 push ups, 3 pull ups and 1km running without stroke and under 4:30 is a goal most people can reach - even in their 50s or 60s. You just have to try.<br /><br />3) If FerFal manages to care all this "minimum" stuff with him 24/7/30 I gladly bow to him.<br /><br />I certainly cant. As a matter of fact is you run around with sandals, short pants and a T-shirt it would be very "disturbing" to have a gun on the body. Unless you want to look like a "ghetto gangsta". <br />Same is true for the lighter. A knife will fit even in this dress. So will perhaps a handy key chain. <br /><br />Sometimes "yes"...every day "I doubt it"<br /><br />4) In the car there is room. WATER, a gun, some amno, some food, a light source, a fire source, an emergency phone, a police whistle ..all that fits in there. <br /><br />I do personaly expect to have access to these resources 9/10 times SHTF. Even in an earthquake you got SOME time and if 1) is set you gotta use it.<br /><br />5) "My home is my castle" - nuf said :)<br /><br />I do personaly expect to have access to these resources in 7/10 times SHTF. Even if we had to evacuate ...it does not happen within 3 minutes like in that example. You often know several hours if not days ahead when something big is coming your way, right?<br /><br />6) The outer circle<br />People you know. People you trust do some degree. People you can count on. 2/10 times these people will help you but hey - 20% is better than nothing...and the other 80% chances are YOU will help THEM because they will likely fail several points 1-5 no matter how well you instructed them :PParaguay Insiderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11452222750018627731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8939666320943790100.post-85399662006153895442010-04-07T16:00:42.736-07:002010-04-07T16:00:42.736-07:00A "sixth circle" might be "get to k...A "sixth circle" might be "get to know thy neighbors."<br /><br />Some neighborhoods organize Neighborhood Watch programs so that if you are not home when one of your neighbors notices someone breaking into your home, he calls the police.<br /><br />Other neighborhoods, probably the wealthier ones, might hire private patrols to drive around and watch for suspicious behavior.<br /><br />Even apartment complexes sometimes hire private security guards to make its residents feel safe when there is a crime spree.<br /><br />Some cities, such as where I live, have a formal neighborhood program to organize residents to help them prepare for a natural disaster.<br /><br />In rural areas, which is where I grew up, residents often watch out for each other because the response time for emergency calls to the police is often hours rather than minutes. They also help each other in non-emergency situations (e.g., barn raisings and during harvest season when a farmer is sick).<br /><br />The sixth circle, in other words, is another resource that can help when events get ugly.Just_In_Case_The_SHTFnoreply@blogger.com
