I like flashlights. A lot. My wife would say I might be obsessed,
I was going to say I’m a bit of a light snob but that would be wrong. I have cheap lights and recommend them. More accurately I’m a lumen snob. The more the better.
I have always said you can’t go wrong with more lumens.
The Nitecore NU25 Headlamp does not come up short in the lumen department at 360 max lumens. And it does this at only 0.99oz.
So let’s find out whether this needs to be your next headlamp.
This week I had a mystery package to open. I usually know what I’m opening. This time I had forgotten about being sent a book on Krav Maga.
Krav Maga is the official self-defense system of the Israeli Defense Forces. It has been tested and used around the globe for sixty years.
I have taken a few martial arts over the years. Karate, Tae Kwon Do, Muay Thai and have had an interest in Krav Maga for several years.
From all my research it seems to be the best to quickly and safely end street fights. It was designed for that.
It also seems that the learning curve is not as high. In some martial arts it takes a long time to be able to apply your skills.
This book is filled with full-color photos to help explain the techniques.
I can’t wait to start practicing with Couch Potato Mike.
I do want to state that I do not believe you will be able to become a master with a book. But this is an excellent primer. Finding a qualified local instructor is definitely the way to go.
A while back I got in Haven by J.D.G. Perldeiner from prepper Press. I was pretty excited to read Haven from the description.
Haven is set 198 years after a cataclysm that wipes out most of mankind. The people that are left live a very primitive life.
All around them is evidence of their ancestor’s great achievements. Cars that will never again run. Light bulbs that remain dark. And medicines that they have no idea how they work.
The Monks of Haven treasure knowledge above all. They fight to keep their library from falling into the wrong hands.
Tiber the Novice is sent on a quest with others from Haven to a nearby Duke. They are going to ask for help in an upcoming attack by the Grotons. Read More
