Designer Gas Masks

Doing a random search Ironicly for cheap working gas masks, I found theses : 

And subsequently an article about them, and some information on the designer...

Not the most practical thing to own... but some REALLY cool fashion and design went into the production of these things.

Quote : If you like post apocalyptic fashion mixed with high end runway then you will love these diamond studded gas masks. No need to wait for the mushroom clouds to start a revolution. The masks were the creation of designer Diddo Velema, with Gucci and Luis Vuitton.

 Not something likely to rely on for protection from the harsh wateland.. but pretty damn cool if you ask me... Check it out!

Project Wasteland 0 - Free Flash Game

 I have found a free flash game called Project Wasteland 0 via Armour Games.

It essentially is a story less turn based combat game that has a post apoc setting, and attempts to mimic the style of Fallout/Wasteland.

Its a fun game to play, level up, and waste a few hours, so take a look:

It may not be much... but as far as flash games go that capture the play style of Wasteland or fallout goes... This pretty much as it all... Just lacking a story.

WD-40 -- Essential for survival!

We all know that WD-40 has sooo many uses for around the house (over 2000 I believe is the motto). But is this something we think of for surviving the apocalypse?

Well WD40 has written a survival guide for use with their product, and it is very much worth the read. ITs poignant, funny, and eerily true.

All I know is I got my can ready!

10 Essentials for Survivng the Zombie Apoc

A rather humorous, yet well written article taken from the Huffington Post about survivng the Zombie apocalypse... This covers most all bases, from food, to weaponry, to just covering up the damn smell.

Let's face it. America is fat and only getting fatter. I'm just ballparking numbers here, but let's say the average American weighs 170 pounds. So, New York is gonna have... Let's see, 9 million times 170... New York's gonna have 1,530,000,000 pounds of rotting human flesh sashaying about. That's a billion and a half to you and me. You're gonna want to sprinkle some Old Spice on your bandana and wrap it around your face to help with the stench.

So check out this great article, and the hilarious bits with the slideshow at the end for sure!

Fallout New Vegas Promo Comic - PDF

I found a nice PDF of the promo Comic for New Vegas... I never got to check this out, cause I didn't buy the ridiculous Collectors Edition... But now here is your chance to read it for free online!

The comic was created by Dark Horse Comics and tells some of the history of New Vegas and how it sprang up in the Mojave Desert and flourished before you know… the shit hit the fan. And it’s free through the link below.

Yes its a bit late... Im sure MANY of you have read this before... However I had not, and felt like sharing it!

Ground Zero Nuke Simulator

A fun site using google maps that let you choose a location "Drop a bomb" And see the affected areas of the blast...

Not a practical tool, but kind of interesting to see how you would be affected if a major city near you was struck by an atomic explosion.

Skin.Graft Fashion Show Vid

It is a bit old (VERY OLD)... But I have never heard of the company Skin.Graft so I thought I would give it a share to the other folks that had not.

A video from the article on the 2007 Post Apoc Fashion Show

Not exactly my style of Post Apoc fashion, but it has some

pretty cool stuff... Although I feel the men's fashion was BORING

and recycled seeming. Just my opinion.

Class 3 Zombie Outbreak Game

I found a fairly fun game, where using Google maps, you defend the city from

a zombie Outbreak... it is very hard. But a GREAT time waster.

And kinda fun to walk around your own backyard and kill some zombies...

I think I like it even more because it has a map that is right outside

from where I work...

 

I figured I would give this a share, cause I know there are a lot of

Gerber Apocalyspe Series

One of the most useful things you can have with you when surviving

is a machete! Well what about a machete that is also an axe...

Great for hacking up brush, clearing an area for shelter...

or busting open the head of a mutant or walking corpse, or more

realistically someone trying to get to your shelter, and steal your belongings.

Well Gerber now has an "Apocalypse" Series... and they look GREAT!

 Damn they are some slick looking things for sure...

Each has its own purpose. An axe is an essential item for gathering wood.

The parang is perfect for protection with its light weight angled blade.

The tanto is necessary in so many ways, from gutting an animal,

to cutting rope, etc.

All in all this looks like a solid set. And they even bundle them

together in a great "Apocalypse Survival Kit"

Looks like a great addition to any survivalist's collection.

Check out the links to the official site, and a review I found.

Full Movie - Damnation Alley (1977)

In 1977 the movie Damnation alley (based on a book by Roger Zelazny) came to the theatures

It was adapted poorly from the novel... The author did not care much for it...

And it was also coincidentally not well received by the public.

Plot : In an post-apocalyptic world, a group of survivors travel 

and find other settlements in huge custom designed all terrain vehicles. 

Now this movie may not have much going for it...

It does have some fun action, bad special effects,

and of course the likely main inspiring factor for Rad Scorpions!

Also coincidentally it has Giant Cockroaches too... 

Watch out for those Rad Scorpions Cru Jones!!!!

(Get it... Rad Scorpions?)

Alright, enough Bullshit... Here is a great B-Movie!

Be sure to check out some more info on this fun movie below.
And Next Month I will be sure to dig up another fun Full

An Easter Egg thats Good Enough...

Paper Wasteland

Quite a while back I made these fun paper models of me and my friend...

I thought I would give them a nice share on here... Just Because.

Modeled them after some usual clothes we wear, then added some rips.

Then Added a bit of grime to our skin, etc.

 And no wastelander would be complete without mohawks.... I mean guns...

I game my gal a nice vintage .45cal.

And myself, a humble dual Uzi.

Huge Post Apocalyptic Fiction List

 I was browsing today to get a new book in the science-fictional

genre... guess which sub genre of this I was looking for...

Yes Post-Apocalyptic.

And I found this list of 408 Post Apoc Books!

Although I may not agree with the order they rank these books,

Its still a great point of reference for someone looking for a

new book for sure!

Mad Max Vehicle Shots

Some excellent set photos of Fury Road...

Showing some of the AWESOME new vehicles we will see in this movie...

Im still not sure what I have to think about the movie even happening in the first place... but it looks and sounds like it will be quite a thrill ride.

Quote : Peeks at the movie's other rides have shown at least one other car as big as a semi, several buggies, worn down hotrods and tractor-trailers.
A stuntman said the movie would have "130 cars and bikes and 198 stunts."

There are loads more pictures at the link below. Check em out!

Prepare to Survive! Communication

During the 2010 US Census it stated that 80.7 percent of the U.S.

population lived in urban areas!

When it comes down to it, most of us live in an urban environment,

So our conditions are going to be vastly different then those living

in the out-skirts of society...

Now it may be a good idea to brush up on your foraging skills, learn

to identify and find some wild mushrooms, (maybe pick up a field guide

to edible plants in your area, or even a book on improvised traps)

Let's face it, that is the likely place to go to survive, and during most

events that would cause an apocalyptic event would decimate a

great population in those dense cities that would likely be targets to

begin with.

But I digress, I am talking about some essential items that can help aid in your

survival in the Urban environment!

So Lets begin!

Communication & Power

You are going to want the ability to commicate with others... 

And it will not be long till your cellphone is useless...

You will be able to trust people to an extent, but be warned to

not give note that you may have resources... the panic when it first begins

may make you want to keep a bit of your belongings secret.

However!

What if you are missing out on vital instructions being broadcast via radio,

and you have been knocked off the power grid... and whats more... you are

out of batteries...

Weill that's no good...

But they do make things like this :

NEW GMRS Emergency Radio DynamoCrank (Mobile Equipment)

Now I am not saying this is the best model, or even the best price you could find it for...

HOWEVER

It does have some of things you should look for.

Not only does this give you the ability to listen to Emergency Stations, but also the ability to communicate to others that may be smart enough to have bought emergency radios.

Also, the fact that you wont need to worry about powering this

thing.... as long as you have the ability to turn a crank...

They also make flashlights on the same lines.
and they are VERY affordable!

So cut out the need of batteries completely!

Which is great as a cost saver, even
in this non-apocalyptic life!

Tools for survival can be used in our everyday world as well...

Although on the subject of batteries... It could be an interesting idea to keep a solar powered battery charger around... It could be useful of a service to trade with your neighbors, and it is renewable.

Plus you may have some useful tools that require them.

Got some suggestions?
Id love to hear them in the comments of this article!

Russian Fallout

 I found a pretty interesting video of what I am assuming is

a Russian Fallout LARP session...

Not the most amazing thing to watch, but I greatly appreciate

the costume design... and cant say that I wouldn't have a lot

of fun with a few air-soft guns shooting some raiders.

Ive heard a lot of talk about how much more serious fallout is over

yonder.... and from the scenery I have seen in some of the videos

I completely understand...

Speaking of amazing costume... Look at these people :

 Damn... That is some Serious Costumes right there!

It almost makes me feel sane with the passion I still hold for

Fallout...

Movie Tralier : The Day

I had never heard of this movie, although after watching the preview... A Post Apocalyptic set for a horror/thriller. it looks like an interesting one... A Violent Gorey interesting one... The setting and costume design looks pretty snazzy as well :

Quote : "A group of five survivors, armed with shotguns, axes and machetes, wander the back roads of a ravaged landscape looking for refuge in The Day, a terrifying look into a post-apocalyptic future. As war ravages humanity, destroying civilization and most of life on earth, the survivors realize they must do whatever it takes to stay alive. Lost, starving, and exhausted, they seek shelter in a seemingly safe abandoned farmhouse. However, while searching for food and resources, they unwittingly set off a trap signaling to their ruthless predators lying in wait to begin their deadly attack. With food and ammunition dwindling, the group must make a desperate final stand--over a 24 hour period--battling for their ultimate survival."

A lot of VERY mixed reviews for this one... But when It comes out on DVD/BR etc... I may have to give it a rent... Looks like a nice thriller.

Best quote on youtube video : "So its a prequel on the house in the movie The Road?"

Salvaged Art Forms

From Mr Prvrt:

“This is my part of a group installation with the newly formed Rochester NY-based collective Sweet Meat Co.  What is pictured here is built entirely using salvaged objects, including the lighting and functional speakers. The entire installation took six people just over one month to complete. The work pictured here is my own, but more pictures from the show can be found here”

Top 10 Post Apoc Movies

The Top Ten Apocalyptic Movie's List....

Lets see... this couldn't be toooooo bad... could it?

Oh God.... Here we go...

Please keep in mind...

NOT MY LIST!
 

10 - Shaun of the Dead

9 - The Matrix

8 - The Road

7 - Children of Men

6 - I am Legend

5 - The Book of Eli

4 - 28 Days Later

3 - 12 Monkeys

2 - Planet of the Apes

1 - The Terminator

Wait... Zombieland, Escape from New York, The Road Warrior ALMOST MADE THE TOP TEN!?!

You mean that TERRIBLE adaptation of Richard Mathesons I am legend (BTW Robert Neville was not actually a fan of Shreck, the book is great if you get a chance to read it)

But wait.... The Road Warrior.. ALMOST? This is by far one of the most Iconic Post Apocalyptic films EVER made! And it almost made the list? First of all Max is just far more solid of a protaganist than any of those movies possess, and the setting alone is by far what we think of when we think "post apoc". I hope someone lost their job over that...

Escape fom New York was not amazing... but god damn Snake Plisken would shoot that pussy Theo Farron in the fucking face and the god awful bore ride of children of men would be over in ten seconds... Dodge that Neo.

If Planet of the Apes was NOT the remake... I would agree... Great movie, original setting, legendary... But Marky Mark's shake down of that movie did NOT leave me with Good Vibrations...

I love the Ternimator... but come on!

Where is our beloved Max on this list....

Comment on what you think about this... please...

Gas Masks - We All Love Em

 

All the children had to wear a gas mask in case of a gas attack

 by the Germans. They tried to make the masks like Mickey Mouse

 faces so the children would like them. But I didn't.

 They had big ears on them.

-Gerald Scarfe 

Although used much more as a fashion statement in culture today,

going all the way through the hiphop scene, to the goth scene, and

many other groups in between -- The gas mask is a practical

invention that has been in use for just about a hundred years,

and are still used today... and will likely continue to be...

Gas masks were issued to all British civilians at the start of World War Two. There was a very real fear in Britain that Nazi German bombers would drop poison gas bombs. Therefore, all civilians were issued with gas masks. The bombing of Guernica in the Spanish Civil War had shown what could happen when bombers got through. The government had planned for tens of thousands of deaths in London alone. An advisor to the government - Liddell Hart - told the government to expect 250,000 deaths in the first week of the war alone.

 A true testiment that when new obsticles come mans

way, we find a way to beat it, and "filter" it out of our life...

Air born weaponry was a problem in the great wars (namely

starting April 22, 1915) so we decided it was time to engineer...

We came up the humble gas mask.

Or not so much came up with, but rather improved upon

the apparatus that miners, fire fighters, and divers previously used.

The original filters even used carbon to get rid of the nauxious gasses...

And we still use this in modern air scrubbers in industrial settings

to this day!

Although Gas Masks work a bit different today...

Here is a great video telling you how they do!

History Channel : How Gas Masks Work 

The gas mask is truly mans best friend for filtering out pollutants

 in the air, and making it safe to step out side in unsafe conditions...

 No one wants to breathe in mustard gas and feel their lungs instantly

 start to swell, and blister.

And this little filtered guy changed all that.

Albeit quite an awesome piece of fashion...

I think the draw to it really is the history.

The fact that so much life can be supported, and allowed

just from strapping some rubber, and a filter on your face.

Boy she has got some great history, and I urge you

to read the links below!
