Shopping for Survial Literature

During my recent shopping on amazon, I decided to buy a few new survival books...
However I honestly was curious which books to get amongst the HUGE pile of them...

And I came across a great article

3 Types of Survival Books You Should Read and Why

There are a million and one survival books out there and they all claim to teach you how to become Jeremiah Johnson over night. It’s hard to figure out who to trust and what kind of survival books you should read. Here are 3 types of survival books you should read and why:
After reading up on these, I decided to go with a military manual, and a field guide.

Although the book SAS - Survive any Situation seemed quite good to me as well, and I think it has been added to my wishlist!

Junk - Post Apoc Card Game!

I found a pretty cool Kickstarter for a Post Apocalyptic Card/Dice game called Junk for 2-4 Players.

CONCEPT

Junk is a card and dice game for 2-4 players that takes 45-90 minutes to play: instead of building civilization like you might be used to in the genre, in Junk you are REbuilding using the junk from the world before. The players are leaders of a tribe that has survived an apocalypse and scavenge the wasteland for junk. These junk cards are drawn, traded, or stolen from other players to combine into pre-collapse technologies. The first tribe to restore civilization by achieving all 5 of these: the wonders of Sanitation, Preservation, Constitution, Radio, and Power Generation, wins. How will you choose to survive? By nurturing the wasteland ecology and harvesting its resources, founding a warrior culture to take what others have, restoring culture and quality of life, studying the science of what came before, or learning how it all fit together?



This game looks like a LOT of fun!
So back the kickstarter (help them reach their STRETCH goal)
I am proud to say that I am!

Fun Photo Article

 While stumbling around the internet, I found a fun little photo 
article with some great pictures... Although sadly not a great deal of substance.
But anything really that has a picture or two of Mad Max
in it usually is enough for me.
Add in a sexy lady or two with combat boots,
 leather, and feathers --- and that does wonders!
for an articles enjoyability in my opinion!

See...
It already makes this blog entry more interesting!

Here is the Title Excerpt from the 'Article'

Post Apocalyptic Fashion: What You Need To Wear For The End Of The World

Your fashion sense doesn't have to suffer just because the world is ending. If we're going to go down in flames, we at least should go down in style. Here are tips to keep it fierce after the rapture.
See the link below for the full 'article'

 And when Roger talks about the frightened ones running away from the bombs, I immediately thought of my days when I was young and I had to wear these gas masks.
-Gerald Scarfe

Check it out... as I said, its got a few great pictures...
Mostly Iconic stuff, but some interesting artistic stuff
thrown in the mix...
And I think there was more reading involved in my re-post
than there actually was on the whole photo spread...

Go rest your eyes...

Mad Max: Fury Road -- Set Shots

 Looking through the NMA forums I found some awesome pics showing 
some behind the scenes look at the filming of the new Mad Max....
Take a look!



Some very promising pictures ... Looks like they are doing a great job
 capturing the imagery and setting of the Mad Max world... However I don't
 know if set design can make up for such an odd casting of Max...

Craft is Good for the Mentat Health


 Mentats are fun... and by far one my favorite fictional drugs...
with the exception of maybe JET!

So I decided to try my hand at making me a cheap prop version...
After a few moments I found a decent fold-able design of it, and it was off to Kinkos

Here is how it looks when done :


So after a quick print out on some nice heavy card-stock,
I folded out the design and it came out looking GREAT!
Weirdly has an odd flap in the back, kind of like an orbitz gum package.

Id like to mess around with this, and use it as a template for my own designs..
although beyond that (and I am reaching) to make a nice tin one
similar to this : Tin Mentats
