This online store has a really cool selection of gov't overrun prep items - their inventory ranges from US Embassy pens to micro hex head drivers to mini lighters to mini pry bars to small storage/battery containers to mini grappling hooks. They have Spectra thread in stock at the moment, and if memory serves me correctly, they sometimes carry Kevlar thread. Basically, if you want to create any pocket Bug Out kits, or buy a Bro a cool gift, this is the place to go. I've purchased here before and have another order on the way.

Happy 4th of July! Bolinas, here I come!

New Movies

•

There are 2 new movies that I want to both see and recommend:

Trollhunter (Trolljegeren): A 12-second advertisement is a fair price to pay for this most awesome Norwegian trailer. The movie debuted at a limited number of art-house theaters on Friday, July 17th. If you miss it at the theater, don't worry -- it's sure to become an underground classic once it is released on DVD.

Bellflower: Mad Max fans beware, this movie is getting rave reviews! The official website is HERE. Teaser-trailer HERE. Release date is August, 2011.

"The phrase 'mayhem ensues' is an understatement for this violence-riddled amalgam of fire, alcohol, sex, broken hearts and steadfast bromance."

What Goverment Should Be

•
I often tell people that I am anti-government, but that is not really true. I believe that the role of government at all levels should be severely limited, and relegated to the following areas:

1. Providing for the defense of the people

2. Limiting the power of corporations, and

3. Promoting maximum self-reliance amongst the citizenry at all times

All government positions should be volunteer, for this is the only way to A) prevent the build-up of dysfunctional bureaucracies and B) prevent government from becoming a business.

Daily governance should be self-regulated by the public, thru grass roots, bottom-up movements that are governed by necessity and by individual responsibility.

Yeah, I guess I'm a Libertarian or a social anarchist at heart.

Electric Boobies

Ready to hit the beach? Brooklyn-based designer Andrew Schneider is now taking orders for his solar-powered bikini. Capable of charging your cellphone or MP3 player, the high-tech swimsuit comprises thin, flexible photovoltaic film strips and USB connectors, woven together with conductive thread. Each bikini, coming in at just under $200, is entirely hand-stitched, requiring an average of 80 hours to make. No need to worry about your iPod running out of juice; the solar bikini will charge your favorite gadgets while you soak up the rays.

•Spent 2 weeks driving around in pinner Israeli rental cars. Got back home, climbed inside Zoom, keyed him up, fired his accelerator, and thought, HOLY SHIT THIS TRUCK IS A BEAST. So I've renamed him The Beast. RIP little boy Zoom, you're all grown up now & Daddy is proud.

•Have a strong yen to buy an SKS. BIG 5 has Yugo models on sale for $399 this week. The Yugo models are supposed to be good, with machined/milled parts & a positive track record. Better even than some Chinese models. All I can think about is buying one, stripping it, sanding & re-oiling the wood furniture, cleaning & oiling the entire assembly, & carefully putting it back together again, with a sling attached. They are butt ugly little bastards, but they are work horses & tin can ammo is cheap. Poor man's AK-47. No need to worry about dents & scratches, the fuckers will last a hundred years if you keep them oiled. & the bayonets, I love those fucking things. When the ammo dries up after TSHTF you still have the folding bayonet to fight with. If I lived in Nevada I'd swap out the box mag for a drum mag & convert to full auto.

•Word is that the current administration is working behind the scenes to institute gun control.

•In Israel, rehydration salts afforded me almost instant relief from headache & muscle ache associated with dehydration.

•Some run-flat tires weigh more than regular tires. One set weighs more than 4 regular tires + a spare...
