Terror Survival, my big ol’ butt.

I’ve just wasted 15 minutes of the short amount of time I have left on this planet reading a pile of shyte called a Terror Survival Handbook. Here’s the list of items they suggest you have on you at all times.

Energy Bars. Have you ever ate those things? You’d do better eating the nearest corpse…
A small towel. Duh. Anyone who has ever read “A Hitch Hiker’s Guide to the Galaxy” knows that! You’d best make it a large towel, though…
A bottle or two of water. No complaint here, though I’d add water purification tabs or one of the new filter straws as well.
A small flashlight. Always a good plan.
A moderate amount of cash. Another well made point.
A small whistle. Make that a LOUD whistle. Don’t play here. If you’re trapped a small kids whistle won’t make it.

“Wait!“, you say. “You just agreed with most of the points on the list“. Yep. I did. Problem is that the list isn’t complete. If you’ve been a regular reader of this blog then you are aware of the “everyday carry” items I’ve spoken of so often. Grandpa Homer made me a believer and I hope I’ve made one out of at least one of my readers. Here they are:

A knife - *well* sharpened. Mankinds first truly effective tool and still used everywhere,everyday.
Some way to start a fire. I carry a Zippo lighter. YMMV.
A length strong string or small rope.

With these items added to the list above you can survive a hell of a lot of bad shyte. However, I’ll add one last thing:

A Handgun that you are well trained in the use of, and at least one reload. Why not go ahead and be proactive when it comes to terrorism? I like any weapon firing a round .40 caliber or larger - preferably .45 caliber.

Let’s be real here. We’re talking about terrorist wanting to kill you and as many of those around you as possible. If you’re certain he’s a terrorist, take his ass out first! Terrorist are NOT human beings. They are vermin and should be treated as such. It is best to swat the mosquito before it bites.

That it for now from Mobile, AL.

Omar the Bull, out!
