Some time ago in this series we covered network-free GPS map product from Trimble for your Apple and Android phones (they still aren't selling the Iphone one). That product is basically a memory chip containing maps for whatever state you buy, and the phone uses the GPS chip to help you navigate the map. Many people in the comments of that article said "I'd really prefer a printed topo map in a SHTF situation." And I agree, but when you look at what you get with that product as compared to printed maps, it is a really great buy. For this follow up I decided to look into MyTopo, the $9.95 - $319 printed version of Trimble's map product, and WOW, you aren't going to believe how far modern cartography (map making) has come.

Trashcans in campgrounds across this country are being rudely overturned. Clotheslines across the heartland are being torn from their moorings, and laundry scattered hither and yon. Though late night cable crews struggle in vain to capture images of the culprits, their efforts have been fruitless. Half-assed, I say. It is up to us, the sportsmen of this venerable republic to stand united and bag these unruly bruits. With that noble goal in mind, I present the top 5 guns for hunting Sasquatch.

From the beginning this column has been about actually going and doing what most people only think about doing. At the height of the "prepper craze," when the mindless and completely fake cable "reality" shows were popular, it was estimated that for every 10 people thinking about off grid survival, only one was actually taking actions at all. These days, when survival food is on clearance at Walmart, even more people have lapsed into "it isn't going to happen here." Because as it turns out, prepping is expensive, and very involved.

I have always thought of the bluing process as a kind of dark art. Some of the finishes look like they could only be achieved by a mad scientist and his minions mixing chemicals in a secret lab complete with a Jacobs Ladder and some bubbling flasks. The truth is not too far off. But you don’t need a minion to do this, just a 650 degree pot of salt. Niter bluing is one of the simplest of the bluing processes and it gives some of the most vibrant colors.
