Sleeping In Vehicle Illegal Within City Limits

October 17, 2016 by Troy Boylan Leave a Comment

I found out recently, I looked at the city statute, which states, “No overnight camping or sleeping in vehicles on public roadways is permitted…” That sleeping in a vehicle within city limits is prohibited, as a blanket rule, is absurd!

So… concerning the Swiss Army Knife that has been in my pocket since I was 12 (circa 1980)… my Mom bought me that knife… the MacGuyver knife (I never did get the official MacGyver Paperclip though, lol)… at the local Army Navy Surplus store.

This article is an updated version of a post comment I shared in 2007 on The Survival Forum at equipped.org concerning a news report of a crashed pilot who survived, allegedly by chewing on leaves and drinking his own urine. This article expounds upon the meanings of some of my original wording…

The Importance of a Survival Group

August 30, 2015 by Troy Boylan Leave a Comment

What Is A Survival Group? A survival group is a collection of aware and informed individuals who have come together in the anticipation that the day (or night) will come when going it alone is not the wisest option in terms of survivability. Why Form Or Join A Survival Group? We are social animals and there is safety in numbers. This is why we humans tend to look to others concerning those things that concern us… our survival depends on each other. We feel the need to trust in each others’ attitudes and beliefs because we all know there will be a time when loyalty will be tested. As well, we all feel the need to be able to have confidence in our own and other group members’ attitudes and skills.

Choosing A Survival Knife… Going the Rambo Route!

July 27, 2014 by Troy Boylan 1 Comment

Hollywood and its depictions of what is practical in the real world are more often than not… waaaay off. But when when it comes to what size knife Rambo thinks makes a good survival knife… Hollywood got it right… bigger is better! Sorry MacGyver, but that Swiss Army knife is not enough for the real world, you’ll need a big knife as well.

The Most Difficult Survival Skill To Master

May 11, 2014 by Troy Boylan Leave a Comment

great-seal-of-US

What is the most difficult survival skill to master? Shelter building… fire making… purifying water… primitive weapon making… mind over matter… etc… ??????

I see blog after blog after blog… mine included… on the topics of preparedness, self-sufficiency, and survival. But the ultimate fact is, despite the fact that we are all authorities on our collectively shared topics of interests… that very few, if any of us, have yet mastered or even really begun to master the most difficult survival skill of all.

Why The Background Is Not White

White light is full spectrum, meaning it contains equal amounts of the highest intensity red, green, and blue light. Blue light is short wave frequency, and is thus potentially damaging to eyes and overall well-being. Thus, EV’s content background color is an eye friendly cream color low in red and green light, but even lower in blue light. Be additionally protected from the blue light emitted from your e-device by wearing computer glasses.
