SHTFblog.com - are YOU ready?

*Ranger Man looks to the left, to the right, and whispers*
“Shhhh! They’re listening.”

Who?
The aliens, of course, the Illuminati,
George Bush, and Richard Simmons.

Not only are they listening, they’re reading our minds. Quick - don’t think! Don’t process these words in your head until  you’ve secured your dome. Protect yourself from the brain scans. How? A tinfoil hat, of course. They’re easy to make. Here’s how:

1. Buy a roll of Reynolds Wrap aluminum foil. Buy only the heavy duty type. The slight extra cost is worth the extra protection. Pay with cash so “they” can’t track your purchase.
2. Find your favorite hat.
3. Construct! Just do what your daddy told you to do as you left for college, “Make sure you wrap it.”

I chose my Browning cap - and I wrapped it.

This design works well WTSHTF and EVERYONE is on board with the brain scan battle, but if you wear this outside before that stage, everyone will think you’re crazy. Everyone except me anyway. Instead, line the INSIDE of your cap and no one will know. It’s less comfortable, but it still works.

Using a baseball cap won’t protect your cerebellum, but it should secure your thoughts. For complete cerebellum protection you’ll need a hat with a long neck flap that extends down the back to your shoulders. These hats are worn in the desert and you can find them in military surplus stores.

True story: I once knew a guy in college who we called “Wild Bill”. Wild Bill was at a party one rainy, stormy night, he got sloshed, and entered a game of truth or dare. He chose dare and they dared him to take off his clothes, wrap his body in tinfoil, go outside in the lightning storm, and run down the street and back. He took the dare, but unfortunately for him, there were cops outside! The cops stopped him and charged him with attempted suicide - LOL - it’s true!

BTW: It’s also sweet, shameless book promotion day. You totally gotta check out my NEW favorite SHTFblog Army Field Manual in grid-down, EMP-proof, easy-to-read paperback version. Yep, Combined Arms Operations in Urban Terrain. Trust me, you’ll want this 8.5×11 664 page behemoth urban combat book. Just look at how thick it is - hell, it’s waist high to Duke!

Sweet, huh? It’s $24.95, but only because it’s so friggin’ HUGE. Pretty much if you’ve ever wondered how to conduct urban combat, how to take a city, move through a building or city streets, conduct an urban ambush, assess urban terrain, set up a fighting position in a basement or on a rooftop, identify and avoid toxic sites, etc., this book is for you. The best thing about paperback is that when shit hits the fan, it’s there, in your survival book collection ready for reference. Here is sample of text on selecting and preparing fighting positions:

Following are interior pics.

Look out!

Firing positions.

Quick - set up and secure the perimeter!

When this book is combined with the other large Complete Urban Warfare book there is nothing left out. That book covers similar, but different material, how to train for urban operations, more on firefights inside buildings, etc.

There are a lot of books listed in the SHTFblog Field Manual Store. Know that these books are printed on-demand. When combined with the cheapest shipping (media mail) your order may take a few weeks.

Lastly - tomorrow is Saturday and it’ll be a no-post day. My first since starting this blog, but I’ll be back bright and early on Sunday with more SHTF action. Over and out!
