shove that stick


SHOVE THAT STICK

When others are getting to the bottom of the list of their favorite shopping lists ( list of best FLIR and NV scopes, best mystery meats freeze dried, best carbon fuel to stock in industrial park size containers to keep the deep fryer and hair dryer going after the collapse ), it seems that they simply have to come back to the Bug Out Bag.  Arrrgh!  I hate bug out bags.  If you need water and a meal, you are probably too far away from where you should be living.  Yes, yes, I know.  There are always exceptions.  In general, however, I don’t care for the whole concept.  It is solving White People Problems.

*

My historical loyal minions know what I’m talking about.  Those with too much money invent problems where there shouldn’t be any ( I gleefully stole it from a Black comedian ).  What, you think you are so special you need so much extra money you have to live in a ginormous urban hive?  I’ve lived that life ( well, in a medium size hive ) and the extra money never equaled the stress from living near teeming ghettos and kissing bosses/customers/wives asses.  I’m happier with four thousand a year than I am with forty.  Course, this White Boy don’t need a car, either.

*

Anyway, not to veer too far off the subject path, after sufficient time has been spent listing and cataloging the eighty pounds worth of crap they think they will be better off with ( “dude, the kitchen sink very well COULD save my life.  I need it just in case.  And besides, it’s a lightweight titanium model” ), every once in a blue moon when the elusive florescent hued unicorn has been know to bay at the moon, someone desperate for subject matter will write on makeshift weapons that you can use in no-defense zones.  It hardly ever happens, of course, because high-cap magazine and other firearms and firearms accessories sellers are paying the bills at your friendly neighborhood Prepper Emporium and it isn’t really too profitable to stray from the money subjects.

*

When I read about fire extinguisher sized red pepper bear spray, ancient Ornamental ninja weapons that used to be farm implements, rolling up a news magazine into a jujitsu stabbing weapon,  taking karate classes four nights a week after your thirteen hour day of commuting and working, or the infamous Walking Stick, I usually have about the same reaction.  Dude!  Why are you living in a place you can’t arm yourself?  Are you retarded or are you Special Ed?  If you can’t even carry a folding pocket knife ( which is by no stretch of the imagination a weapon but a tool.  Go ahead, I’ll wait while you stab a bone and try not to lose a few fingers ), you are at the wrong place.

*

Yes, I understand some of you are living at the wrong place where the local Commissar won’t allow you to have a BB gun or even mace ( for goodness sakes, even the Soviets allowed the rural peasants a shotgun ).  If you are living in a under populated area of that jurisdiction, okay.  But if you double dog dincus’ed yourself by living in a Peoples Republic AND in a bad crime area, I have about zero sympathy for your dumbass.  You can TRY to carry a walking stick to defend yourself.  I hope you don’t get the thing shoved up your ass by a true badass.

*

Your geriatric ass can shuffle around with a stick and odds are if you ever need to use it you will hit your opponent with the speed and strength of a bulimic girl.  You want a stick on your airplane flight?  WHY are you flying???? If the goons don’t kill your chances of procreating by using a mob connection low bid X-ray machine, the odds are good your plane is going down.  Every company out there is taking huge whacks out of quality control to save money to stave off bankruptcy, you are going to trust the airworthiness of an airplane!???!!!

*

Forget Jerry Jihad with C-4 stuck up his rectum, the airline CEO wants to kill you.  Why are you going to let him?  For that matter, Bubba Blackass wants to Knock-Out Game your stupid ass until you bleed into your brain and stay a vegetable.  Why are you anywhere near his hood?  Are you so macho that you think you are going to be alright in enemy territory?  What does our favorite hillbilly say?  Stay Away From Crowds.  How hard is that?  I love the new normal of post-apocalypse fiction, where the Muslims ALWAYS strike at Small Town America because we aren’t expecting it.  This must be the excuse preppers need to feel good about staying in the big city.

*

You would love to think that there are enough suicide bombers to do that, wouldn’t you?  Well, guess what.  There ain’t.  The leadership doesn’t waste the few they have.  They strike in the big cities.  You know, where most people live and where all the votes are generated.  The voters stay terrified and the government continues to bleed the treasury and weaken the countries military which has invaded Jihadland.  Blowing up West Podunk will illicit a giant yawn from the citified scumbags that view the rural areas as colonial resource areas with the occupants being mere voiceless peasants.

*

Staying away from people means you radically decrease your chances of being attacked and you won’t need to resort to carrying stupid ass weapons.  I don’t plan on ever flying again, and the only way I’m weaponless is if I get called to jury duty ( It will only last a day, since I’ll declare my belief in Jury Nullification ).  In that case, I’m throwing the skinniest lawyer at the attackers and making my escape.  It would be pretty sweet if I could get to the judge and use her as a shield.

  1. Always, the first rule of real estate is "Location, location, location". Always. The first rule of life is "Avoid crowds". How many is a crowd? How many can you kill with your bare hands? Or, how many can you prevent from killing you at the same time? I think I'm fairly safe out here in the boons with just my wife and a couple neighbors around and a shit load of wild assed animals.

    If you don't live in a place where obvious danger is minimalized I have no sympathy for you nor do I want to hear about your silly preps because you are not a serious person.

    Meant to mention it yesterday, the dryer lint thing. What, is there a shortage of paper? Ever try to start a fire with dryer lint? Even saturated in vaseline? Go try it, today. Try this too: go to the woods with nothing but your *BIC* lighter and a small piece of paper and make a cook fire from what is found. Test the methodry so you know how to do it if the time comes. It is no hassle at all to have a small pad of paper and pencil in your shirt pocket when out in the sticks. I don't see the point of having a dedicated container of a whole nuther material that has only 1 purpose.

    **BIC lighters. Do not compromise with the cheap generic butane lighters, they will stick it to you everytime. FULL SIZE BICS, not those little stubby ones. Try to light a stubby with cold fingers. Plus, they have half the juice. Couple years ago I bought a 100 pack of BICS on amazon and every time I see them on sale in a store ($1.00 each or less) I empty the shelf. Keep the BIC close to your body in cold weather cause butane don't like cold. If you forget, close your fist around it for a minute or two and it will light right up. A BIC is part of my EDC kit.

    1. See how he said "MINIMIZE obvious danger", folks? No one is saying be a hermit. Just don't be extra stupid and use circumstances as an excuse. As to lint, why am I stashing it? I read I should. Never tried it. If I recall, I thought it would improve the odds with a magnifying glass. I've got to make a note to myself to practice that.

    2. Now we're adding a magnifier to the mix? Holy kow! Talk about kitchen sink.

      Look, it's this easy.
      Right front pocket: 3" blade tactical folder clipped inside right-rear edge, black BIC, black Fenix LD09 AA tactical flashlight.
      There, done.

      Having said that, I have a business card size fresnel lens that is paper thin, in my wallet. (eyes iz gettin' old) as well as a very hard to find biz card size flexible mirror that is also paper thin.

      You can get the magnifiers here:

    3. No one is saying that you should become a hermit, but considering the cesspool that modern day society has become, it’s not exactly a terrible suggestion. Take the delightful individual in the link below that the fine folks in Virginia (which up until not too long ago was still a normal state) just voted in. And yes folks, “she” has a penis 😲

      With regards to dryer lint Jim, you should also save the cotton balls that come in your med or vitamin jars. One strike of a ferrocerium rod to a cotton ball, and it goes up in a blaze of glory. Works beautifully. Don’t know what it is, but I’ve been having problems with disposable lighters lately (yes, even the Bics). The only lighters that I’ve never had any problems with are the old fashioned fluid lighters that use the Ronsonal fluid. The problem with these lighters is that the basic lighter dries out fairly quickly, even when not being used. A Peanut lighter has an O ring that seals it though, so it’s not as prone to the same problem.

    4. GS-not suggesting a magnifying glass for bugging out, just to have at the homestead. Long term, multigenerational fire starter. I know frensel lens is better. I'm planning on getting a bulk pack. It was just easier at one time picking up the magnifier at the dollar store. I have both, because why not? and Oooo, How Cheap.

    5. 12:02- I don't know which is more frightening, the Bic going down in quality or the Chick With Dick state governor.

    6. Not-so-funny story about magnifying glass & fire

      When I was a young lad my friends and I started a fire using a magnifying glass. Easy stuff. We threw anything that burned onto the flames. Glad wrap (plastic wrap) got thrown on. Floated up in the heat and landed on one guys arms resulting in horrific burns & needing blood transfusions & ended our unsupervised holiday

      I'd forgotten all about that

      Delete
    7. I'd wager the other guy didn't forget about it.

  2. The other day, I had to take a friend over to the VA hospital in Orlando. Normally I carry a get home bag in my truck that has a revolver stashed. Really sucked having to take the gun out (can't take it in a Fed place)
    Being eighty miles from the home bunker without a real weapon sucked. But my trusty truck box has an axe, machete and a heavy hammer...and a knife or two. ( Don't ask , don't tell ?? ) Anyway I made it inside the gates and back home without being violated by the guards. Left that to the folks in the hospital...which is a freaking ginormous VA hospital in Whorelando !
    Hate going to Disney world city !!

    1. Hope he is a REALLY good friend! :)

    2. I go to the VA all the time and ALWAYS have a gun in the vehicle cause the VA is always located in *those* type of places. Plus it's an hour and a half away so that alone warrants a firearm on board. And a tactical folder in the pocket.

      Delete
    3. Yep, the firearm in the vehicle sounds like a good compromise. One of the drawbacks of a bicycle, no locking storage. Well, and mobility :)

      Delete
    4. Usually I disregard that rule also and leave the gun locked up in the truck. But the parking garage at the Whorelando VA is like a demo derby at times. What with all the psycho, parapelegic blue haired drivers lol. Last thing I want is to be is found holding after an accident...depends on which VA ya go to.
      The local one is much more laid back over on the coast.

    5. Okay, that explains the earlier position much better. The cops are more dangerous than the criminals.

  3. I had an uncle that used to do business in some of the shadier places in the world. Don't ask. When I was a young lad he used to share stories on how he avoided terror attacks and other unpleasantness that happens in crowded war zones. One of his methods was assessing how good a target a place might be. The more crowded, the more likely an attack. More than once he left areas that were attacked later. There's also a certain vibe to places when things are about to go down. I used his tactics to barely escape a massive police action once. Doesn't matter if you are innocent when the billy clubs start flying.

    I love to travel but won't fly. Can't normalize the TSA. If someone's going to touch me in that way, they'd better buy dinner and a movie first.

    Like Spud I hate going into gun free zones. Might as well put up a big "soft target" sign.

    1. Perhaps since we are already soft targets by accepting fiat currency, being hooked to the grid and relying on food a thousand miles away, what's another threat by being unarmed, right? :)

    2. Used to love flying, hell I even jumped out of em in the army, but I will never fly again. Last time was in 1980. From Anchorage to Seattle, Western Airlines. All my gear was in the cabin with me including a Remington 870 12 ga, Ruger .357 redhawk, Ruger MKII .22, belt knives and numerous folders as well as hundreds of rds of ammo. That was normal back then. Now, fingernail clippers will get you strung up. What a big fat pussy this country has turned into.

    3. It’s a damned if you do, damned if you don’t situation. If you go into a dangerous area and you aren’t packing, you could be in big trouble. If you are packing and end up having to shoot someone, you had better pray that the typically overzealous DA can’t prove that there was a reason that you didn’t need to shoot the perpetrator. But unless it’s one of the few areas in which you still have actual gun rights, you can expect to spend at least some time in jail until it’s sorted out, if it is.

      If you’re out in the wilderness and someone tries to mess with you, it’s pretty simple; drop him where he stands, and vacate the premises immediately. And in case it isn’t obvious, the only time you ever involve the police is when you have no other choice.

    4. GS-my last flight was 2002. After that experience, I'm practically disowned by family for refusing to visit at important events.

      12:11-I don't know if there is a correlation between better carry rights and more prosecution for defending yourself, or it is just everyone desperately sending more people to jail regardless of pretext, for profit.

      Delete
    5. I'd love to never get on another plane for the rest of my life. Unfortunately my wife is a migrant and is saving for us to go visit her family next Christmas (the WORST time to travel short of escaping the US embassy rooftop via helicopter when the NVA are using tanks to knock down the fence)

      I hate airports I hate the goons there I hate the stressed out people there

      (I travel with one back pack which limits the risk of my luggage being tampered with... works for me but family INSIST on carrying max load out)

    6. I trust you piss and moan sufficiently to make her feel bad and perhaps grant special favors.
