Of course I'm an idiot and work thru tons of numbness and pain to get there. It is producing results and now I can walk a mile on a treadmill non stop , as long as I hang onto the hand rails. I can walk unsupported a little over a quarter mile without any aids.<br />A far cry from just being able to walk from the bathroom to the lazy boy lol...Spudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00689059709873763146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686829448547770092.post-31532265789782249712017-02-18T05:11:45.999-08:002017-02-18T05:11:45.999-08:00Good point.

The question is how to make people wake up, but I think in most of the stories of our lives we have paid this enlightment at some high price (joblessness, divorce, trauma etc.). it is one thing to envision the end of the world by watching Soylent Green, it's another thing entirely to abandon one's pampered life as a debt slave and actually buy some junk land in the boonies.<br /><br />Perhaps the idea of survival must be felt, not understood.<br /><br /><br />But now I must follow the unwritten rule of survivalist articles, in that every mention of a weapon or a caliber automatically makes it the main argument of the article.<br /><br />Now that the humble Mosin is in the 300 USD range, other options become viable. Still in the "BIC approach", why not have a look at the Savage Axis carbine for instance, here at 259 USD in several calibers including .308 and .223 :<br /><br />http://www.cabelas.com/product/SAVAGE-AXIS-BOLT-ACTION-CENTERFIRE-RIFLES/1960563.uts?searchPath=%2Fbrowse.cmd%3FcategoryId%3D734095080%26CQ_search%3Daxis%26CQ_st%3Db<br /><br />And at 6.5 lbs it's still one pound ligther than the lightest Mosin (the M38). It does lack iron sights, but this is something that can be rigged (fixed-blade, hunting rifle style).<br /><br />Given the constantly eroding value of the dollar, I guess you can't have a new rifle for less than that.Avehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06508223217305671728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686829448547770092.post-73714945329433494012017-02-17T13:31:20.417-08:002017-02-17T13:31:20.417-08:00Spud - I read of your accident whilst randomly goi...Spud - I read of your accident whilst randomly going through Lord Bisons earlier posts. <br /><br />If you don't mind me asking - How are things going / how did they pan out? <br /><br />It really hit home when I read your story just how quickly it can go wrong.Dingonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686829448547770092.post-86835157464006005992017-02-17T13:29:17.556-08:002017-02-17T13:29:17.556-08:00I'm super excited for this series.
