Uncertain Tomorrow. A Youtube Channel and Indigogo Project.

This is the pilot episode.

I found this the other day. There is potential here. Mistakes? Sure. The issue is when people do not understand that concessions sometime have to be made for putting things onto video. Check it out.

Almost There

Since July 5th I have work 21 days straight, then a "normal" 4 day stretch, and right now I am 12 days into another 14 day straight stretch. I am not complaining. Simply an explanation as to the dirth of posts. However, Monday night I sign out for 18 days of leave. I should have some time for some new posts.

- Another version of my battle belt.

- Range impressions of a new rifle.

- General comments about history, current events, and the like.

70 Years Ago Today.

A clip from the BBC special on Hiroshima.

The world changed.

Atomic and nuclear weapons are still largely misunderstood by the average person. 

There are several films available on youtube concerning nuclear weapons. Many are thinly veiled works of peace propaganda. Never the less, they are educational to watch. Search for The War Game 1965, QED - A Guide to Armageddon, The Day After, Testament, The Atomic Cafe, and others.

A Banner Month!

1007 views for the month of July! It is the first time for hitting the over 1000 mark.

Wow. Thank you. Again, this little blog was just a little thing that I started a year and half ago just as place where I could have a central point for writing thoughts and ideas. Thank you for your continued readership.

I have more writing to do. I keep a list things that I find interesting and want to share here. There is more coming soon.

The Farmer At War: 36 Years On

2015 marks the 36th anniversary of the publication of the book Farmer At War. This work details the struggles of the farmers, both white and black, in what was Rhodesia, now Zimbabwe. The communist insurgents were responsible for tens of thousands of deaths, again both black and white. 

I believe that there is much to learn from the experience of the farmers of Rhodesia. Below are a couple of links for the complete work.

For further study on Rhodesian Farmer Defensive Arrangements, please click the links to see some interesting discussion on home hardening techniques that were used. There is application for these today. Again Big Boy Rules apply here.

Reid Henrichs, owner/lead instructor at Valor Ridge put out a great video on a budget option piece of gear. He recommends using the Type 63 Chicom chest rig.

Check them both out.

The Vendee Revolt And The Resulting Genocide As A Lesson For Today

Research the Vendee Revolt of 1793 and its consequences. The French government did not finally admit to what had happened for nearly two centuries.

We are beginning to see the same spirit of the French Revolution here in our country today.
