Fat Guy – Post Flu Workout

Tuesday morning I felt like the eggs didn’t taste very good, and I actually wondered if I’d gotten to the point where having an egg for breakfast every morning was wearing thin. By lunchtime I was starting to feel the room spinning. By four o’clock I was on a conf call and at the end my boss called me at the end and asked why I’d gotten so quiet. The reason, I was puking in the trash can under my desk.

Wednesday was a nightmare. I didn’t eat anything and was horribly dehydrated because I had to work, and if I drank anything it rapidly escaped on the north or south highways, neither of which help me get work done.

Why all this detail? Because today was the first day I could work out, and I wasn’t able to finish 3 miles because I’m not fully back to normal yet.

SURVIVAL DAY 31 (ELK RIDGE FIXED BLADE MACHETE)

I’ve seen a lot of people accidentally cut themselves with edged tools/weapons. Hands get sweaty and a blade goes flying. Or a hand slips down onto the blade when the wielder hits something that they were expecting to give (and it doesn’t).

What is the critical factor to hold onto your blade and improve safety? It is the D handle on this Elk Ridge Fixed Blade Machete. The guard on this Machete means that your hand isn’t going to free and if you do hit something that makes the blade want to jump out of your hand, that guard gives you a split second to recover and hold on before it goes flying.

When the zombies start swarming you will be glad you have this Elk Ridge Fixed Blade Machete. It is quiet, functional, and you can hide it in plain sight, just put it on the wall next to your gardening tools and no one will ever look twice at it.

  • Affordable for everyone
  • Field tested
  • Made using high quality materials
  • 20.5″ OVERALL MACHETE
  • 3MM BLADE THICKNESS
  • ORANGE & BLACK HANDLE
  • INCLUDES LANYARD & NYLON POUCH

SURVIVAL DAY 30 (DOOR STOP ALARM)

These Door Stop Alarms are multi purpose. The first, and most important use is to of course provide security when you are anywhere from your house to a hotel. When I was in Stockholm one of the hostels didn’t have locks on the doors. I had a laptop and a camera with me. Guess what got put under my door every night before going to sleep?

Post zombie apocalypse these Door Stop Alarms make perfect sound traps. Carefully place a container (a light one) on the edge of the doorstop. Poke a hole in a gallon jug and let it drip into the container. With a bit of playing with you you’ll find out hos much flow will set off the alarm. It is a perfect way to pull anything from zombies to other survivors away from where you want them to be.

  • Package:3 x Door Stop Alarm: This is an upgrade door stop than others.It is more durable than others with better quality.
  • 3 Sensitivity Levels – Low – Medium – High,with an adjustable sensitivity switch on the side.
  • Very loud shrill that would definitely scare someone away with 120db alarm. Each Weight: 128g
  • You can use it as common door stopper when turn down the ON/OFF switch,hold door in open position.
  • No installation required.Each requires one 9vbattery(Not include).Portable and easy way to add peace of mind when traveling or working alone.

My Team – Silence Is Golden

A silencer looks really cool in movies, but in real life it drastically changes the handling of a firearm, as it makes the muzzle heavier, and can pull your aim down if you don’t practice with it.

So if you are going to practice so you can quietly kill zombies without pulling every other undead around you down on our heads, you get a ticket to My Team…

SURVIVAL DAY 29 (SUAOKI CRANK LANTERN)

I love these SUAOKI Crank Lantern/Flashlights for a couple of reasons. The first is that they are cheap enough that I can put one in each of my packs. I have one I save as a bug out bag, another for camping, and another for hunting. I then have two more of these Crank Lanterns at my bolt hole. When the power goes out for good, it is going to be very simple devices like these Lanterns that make the difference between surviving the long dark nights ahead or getting eaten by zombies.

Bad Gun Handling – Starter Pistol

In the grand scheme of things this is a minor issue.

The one thing I would have changed was to train her to shoot with a .22LR.

No kick, and fun to shoot all day long.

I know I’m being nit picky but still, if you want to keep a shooter shooting, you need to make sure you don’t hurt their wrist.
