Given the surprising and rapidly escalating situation between Russia and Ukraine (and by extension the West), it is prudent to bring the following civil defense manual back to widespread public knowledge and circulation:

Nuclear War Survival Skills by Cresson Kearny, which is in the public domain and can be found online for free. This book has its own wikipedia article!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_War_Survival_Skills

It can be found for example at the following websites, among many other places. These are searchable PDFs! There is no intended promotion or affiliation with the content of these sites:

The "About the Author" and "Forward" are written by the late respected physicists Eugene Wigner and Edward Teller, the so-called Father of the Hydrogen Bomb. Please consider the significance that they would lend their names to this manual.

You should have this saved as a PDF and ideally printed. Please share it with everyone you know who would be receptive to even just saving a copy on a computer or mobile device.

Start by reading the Introduction section and Chapters 1 and 2, (about 16 pages total) which may help you to understand why you would want to bother reading a book like this. Chapter 1 is the bare minimum. The section "Evacuation Checklist" helps to quickly understand what items you would want to bring in case of an evacuation.

The sender of this message does not believe nuclear war is eminent but does believe that the risk of accidental nuclear war is in the process of increasing. Even a global nuclear war is very likely a survivable event for humanity but the conditions of that survival depend on the education and awareness of citizens about what to expect should this catastrophe come to pass.

For European readers in particular: While this is a US civil defense manual, nearly all of the advice, instructions and mythbusting facts would apply to you as well. The only major differences would be the probable target and fallout maps and basic information about your respective country's grain stores, but you should be able to find that information online.

The method I found works with most of the woods I've tried. I've tried it on a scaffolding wood piece in the video which is chemically treated and contains no oil or resin. Thus it should work easily with other woods such as pine,birch etc. I've uploaded the video. The language is in Hindi But I have added english subtitles so turn them on.

I'm pretty active in a lot of survival, bushcraft, prepping, tactical/edc and related forums and areas of the internet. I seem to remeber that a while ago Tactical Intelligence had a banner saying that they would pay for submissions. I'm looking to make a bit of pocket money for buying new gear (complete self-confessed kit obsessive) and wondered if anyone knows of any other such blogs. Ideally I'm looking for places which use Paypal, but I think that's common enough to be assumed if not stated. Many thanks, all help appreciated.

actual survivalists? In training? I live in a city at the centre of a metropolis. I have to drive a good while for real woods. the good thing is there's a national park that runs throughout the city. It's has an overpopulated deer community, but not really too woodsy. Real enough for me though.

So I'm pretty active citywise. Hiking, biking across the city, routinely climbing walls. Recently started MMA with a coworker. We struggle together, but I used to box so it's not too bad. I've recently also become pretty handy, but that may or may not count. I'm planning my first wilderness expedition into Canada after relocating for 6-8 months (little snowy mountain action). After that I'll move to south america to teach english and embark on another wilderness expedition (rainforest of some type). I'd like to document these trips. Third trip, who knows?

That being said anyone living the life have any suggestions on what else I can learn before I leave to prep myself? I'm on a pretty good diet, physically fit, asthmatic but other than that good. Such interests include navigation, tracking and trapping, foraging, fishing, identifying plants and animals, natural landscapes, hunting, throwing knives, and archery. Also, I need some fresh wolf hairs. Fresh.

I just ordered some books from amazon on plants and animals from different parts of Canadian territories. I'm relearning all my major constellations and have a collection of celestial maps and calendars. What else do you know of to be useful?

Washed out trails, ant hills and trees. I love it.

For example. I live in Britain but more precisely Scotland. In Scotland we have quite a few wilderness areas.

Cairngorms National Park

Photo

Britain's largest National Park, the Cairngorms are the most extensive range of high mountains in the UK, with a vast, tundra-like wilderness plateau, girt with magnificent corries, at the heart of the region. This is encircled by the beautiful valleys of the Rivers Spey and Dee, each passing through stunning landscapes of ancient Caledonian pinewoods teeming with wildlife. Aviemore on the northern side is the best known centre, joined by the small towns of Kingussie, Newtonmore and Grantown-on-Spey, all close to or on the River Spey. (Taken from a tourism website, not my words)

I haven't camped here before, It's only 1hr30mins drive away but just haven't had the chance yet. It's not a place to take lightly though as on a few occasions people have went up ill prepared and died as a result.

Loch Lommond and the Trossachs National Park

*Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park (Scottish Gaelic: Pàirc Nàiseanta Loch Laomainn is nan Tròisichean) is a national park in Scotland centred on Loch Lomond, and includes several ranges of hills, the Trossachs being the most famous. It was the first of the two national parks established by the Scottish Parliament in 2002, the second being the Cairngorms National Park.

The park is the fourth largest in the British Isles, with a total area of 1,865 km² (720 mi²) and a boundary of some 350 km (220 mi) in length. It includes 21 Munros (including Ben Lomond, Ben Lui, Beinn Challuim, Ben More and two peaks called Ben Vorlich), 19 Corbetts, two forest parks (Queen Elizabeth, and Argyll) and 57 designated special nature conservation sites.

15,600 people live in the park, which is customarily split into four sections: Breadalbane, Loch Lomond, The Trossachs, and Argyll Forest Park.*

I've camped at Loch Lomond a few times but haven't been to the truely remote parts yet. Around the loch can be very busy when good weather strikes which can sadly make it not so wild.

PS. I HAVEN'T FINISHED THIS YET BUT IT TOOK WAY MORE TIME THAN I'VE GOT AT THE MOMENT SO I'LL POST IT UP AND ADD MORE LATER. PLEASE CONTRIBUTE AND POST YOUR LOCAL WILDERNESS AREAS. THANK YOU.

This is a fragment of a movie that was shot in the Netherlands over four seasons, 2 whole years.

It used the latest high tech in camera work and is just stunning to watch. I cried the first time I saw it.
