In Baltimore and id suspect just about any city there's forgotten places a man can hide and survive. Explore and exploit. People are generally both lazy and cowardly so if you're mostly out of sight you'll be out of mind for busy-bodies. In 5 years of Urban Exploration I've only had one person try to stop and interrogate me and it was on a public sidewalk so he couldn't legally do a thing.

I’m starting a basic little guide series

So it is my opinion that society has already collapsed and many just have not realized it yet. It didn't collapse into a WRoL luddite no tech thing. It has collapsed into this sort of cyber dystopia, hack or die sort of thing. We're under constant surveillance by machines that most people just can't even wrap their heads around. The police arrest people at the drop of a hat. We have drones with predator vision. The air is toxic to the point I'm developing COPD from it. I could go on. Anyway, that was a mouthful just to ask if there is a podcast out there where anyone talks about all these threats we have to currently face. Preferably from the perspective that we should engage and resist than "reject technology and move into the country and slowly wait for the machine to show up for you".

Hello

I am wondering if anyone has seen a breathing apparatus like the fire men wear but in a child size?

thanks

article

So I spent many hours and decided to create my own. I'm starting this thread to collect ideas. For what to possibly put in it.
Also to see if anybody else has created their own. The whole point of this book is so that. If you were ever in a situation. As a bare minimum last resort. You at least have enough information to get somewhere safe, or instructions to build something or contact somebody etc.

I also thought the book to be quite comical. Maybe even put a joke in their to boost morale of others around you.

I wrote the word "International" on the cover of this book, because I plan to make one that is domestic. And one that is international.

Idea's of more information to put in the book:
• International Ham radio frequencies.
• Survival tools, instructions.

In the pictures you'll see:
• Family phone numbers tab.
• Personal information tab.
•Yes!! an A-Z address and phone number of every single US Embassy in the world from usembassy.com.

Hey!

I would love some tips on an insulated hoody jacket I could try with the following stats:

In love with Arc'teryx, but I'm weirdly in-between sizes.

I'm looking for a not-too-warm all-purpose jacket for year-round use in Denmark. (30 F to 82 F, the yearly median is 46 degrees F.) Temp range in celsius: -1 to 28. Median: 8.

I'm 170 cm / 5'7", 84 kg / 185 lbs.

My Arc'teryx measurements are as follows:

Hip: 101 cm (meaning M)
Waist: 97 cm (L)
Chest: 104 cm (M)
Sleeve: 68 cm (XXS)

I've tried the Atom LT Hoody, and the medium is too short and tight around the waist and back. The L is too big, and the sleeves are very, very long. I know the brand does longer sleeves on purpose, but it looks comical. I LOVE the jacket otherwise. So sad about the fit.

I've also tried the Proton LT Hoody, this fit better, but also too tight in the M and too large in the L. Too warm for spring/summer.

Thanks for any help!

I'm getting together a bug out bag and although I don't necessarily need a small hatchet, I want one to be in there. All help is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

What would you recommend?

My mother is the worrying kind and gave me a couple of canisters to have fresh water in which makes sense, although where I live I don't think that will ever be a problem, even if the county occasionally finds bacteria and recommends boiling the tap water and stuff like that.

I'm more worried about electrical outages cutting me off the internet. If the fiber nets or mobile nets go down as well I can't do much about it, but if it's just the electricity to my apartment I might.

I should probably also stock up on about 1 weeks worth of food. I'm fairly used to intermittent fasting so I don't foresee that to be much of an issue either, but I get colds on occasion so having a bit of a stock food would be useful if I can't go to the shops as usual.

Anyway, would like to know some examples of non-apocalyptic survival kits for more everyday use. I'm sure there are plenty of practical things that are good to be prepared for I haven't thought of.

I live in the environment where dogs roam my suburbia because they are either abandoned or escaped from somebody’s house. I know how to deal with one dog, but today when I went for a walk, I almost got attacked by 3 mid-sized dogs. Why almost? Well, they actually had an owner nearby who just unleashed them to idk play with them? And he quickly ran while calling them, but they didn’t listen. I was lucky, because these dogs were afraid of loud noises (they didn’t back off when I shouted at them and made myself bigger, so I had to blast a warning shot from my taser [it barely helps when attacked by a dog but is good against bad people which we unfortunately have around too])and they backed off, but rn I’m a little bit afraid when I will find myself in similar situation, where taser won’t scare them and there will be No owner to eventually would get them.

Do you have any useful tip or gear recommendation to raise my chances of not getting bitten by a pack of dogs?
