It all started with the Wolverines. Maybe there were some hints of it that started earlier – like the car wars of Road Warrior or watching John Rambo use his hollow-handled survival knife. But Red Dawn was the nascent example of “what if?” scenarios before TSHTF became the nom de jour of locker room and campfire discussions of our youth.… Continue reading "The Red Dawn Culture"

A fellow TAG‘er sent me over this item from today’s issue of US Today: Bomb-laden ‘Reaper’ drones bound for Iraq The airplane is the size of a jet fighter, powered by a turboprop engine, able to fly at 300 mph and reach 50,000 feet. It is outfitted with infrared, laser and radar targeting, and with a ton and a half… Continue reading "Hunter-Killer – That’s right folks, you heard it!"

I wanted to put out a call for a game at Miller Ranch on the morning of July 4th – since most of us civilized folks have that day off. I will be camping the night before and anyone is welcome to join who would like to spend the night before in the woods – maybe try out a night… Continue reading "Paintball on Independence Day – Miller Ranch – July 4th, 2007"

Bringing the art of improvised weaponry to a whole new level, a camper in northern Georgia used a potential piece of firewood to assault a would-be Yogi that was trying to steal his family’s pic-a-nic basket. The story doesn’t detail if the log was mod’d specifically for combat use, if it featured a 550 cord-wrapped handle and/or lanyard, or whether… Continue reading "Throwing Knife, Throwing Axe, or Throwing Log?"

Ok – so I try not to completely nerd out on movies before I see them – there is always the inevitability of over-hyping something that turns out to be a big pile of poo, but a new Rambo movie – I mean come on. Even from a purely tac-porn perspective I just can’t wait to see what kind of… Continue reading "He’s Back"

I was recently on Ain’tItCool.com trying to find some new details on the new Rambo movie and saw a bit on the back and forth on the new Punisher film. To go ahead and spoil everyone’s fun, it looks like Thomas Jane won’t be in the new film. Crap. That makes me not even want to see it or even… Continue reading "The Punisher’s Movie List"

I read an article yesterday about a problem that Florida is having with giant rats. Now any rat problem is a bad scene, but when you are talking about rats that are the size of cats – it’s time for definite action. Yikes! Florida tries to wipe out cat-sized African rats GRASSY KEY, Florida (Reuters) – Deep in the heart… Continue reading "Call for Immediate Dust-off, Nuke the Site from Orbit"

There is a great romance to the idea of shouldering a pack, grabbing your rifle, and heading off into the wilderness to fend off the coming maelstrom. Most proponents of a good post-TSHTF scenario advocate the use of a bug-out bag or more in more civil terms – a 72 hour pack. Interest in this type of “backpack survivalism” is… Continue reading "To Bug Out or Not Bug-Out?"

Stand aside, Predator drone. Coming soon to a burned-out metropolis near you . . . the first stage of the dark reality we all came to know and love in the 80s. Who couldn’t imagine themselves crouched behind the dark corner of a dilapidated urban shopping center, running at full-speed towards the converted El Camino Technical, blazing plasma rifle in… Continue reading "The Hunter-Killer Arrives"
