“Attack of the Zombie Hippies” Supports the Independence Fund

Wednesday, December 19th, 2012

20121218-174636.jpg“Attack of the Zombie Hippies” is an ebook unlike anything you’ve seen before. Assembled at the creative direction of Dave Reeder and Erik Dewey it’s an anthology that mixes good old zombie fiction with practical firearms and tactics articles. By the name you’ve probably already figured out that the zombie stories all involve undead hippies as well. I have a feeling that was Reeder’s doing.

“Attack of the Zombie Hippies” is available on Amazon for Kindle (Nook and hard copies to come).

And yes, I know that some of you are going to poo poo the whole thing because you want something to complain about (in this case zombies) but, here’s the beauty part. Proceeds benefit Independence Fund. And, you get to read a forward by yours truly that will make you feel better about zombies.

If that wasn’t enough, some great companies have stepped up as sponsors of this project and have offered coupon codes that are scattered throughout the book. Tactical Tailor, G-Code Holsters, BattleComp, Grey Ghost Gear, I.C.E. Training, Predator BDU, Battle Arms Development, Dark Angel Medical, Combat Swag and Milifidel Apparel are all great folks. Thank you!

China Exploits Newtown Tragedy to Soften Up US

Tuesday, December 18th, 2012

Communist China’s national news organ Xinhua is calling for the US to swiftly enact sweeping firearms laws. Naturally, this will result in a much weaker America making us vulnerable to attack.

I’ve always wanted to post a propaganda piece.

But seriously, the Chinese want us to be just like them…No guns. How’s that free speech thing working out for you again China?

Check out this NY Times Blog post for some great background on how lunatics in other countries use knives, cleavers and hammers to conduct mass attacks.

Art in War, Afghanistan

Tuesday, December 18th, 2012

It was filmed during the first half of Soldier and amateur film maker Sean Allen’s deployment to Wardak Province, Afghanistan. It’s a compilation of time-lapse photography put together to create a fast motion-like film. He made it show to another side of Afghanistan, one we don’t often have time to experience, one of serenity.

Guy Cramer Talks Camo on CNN

Thursday, December 6th, 2012

Filmed in August, CNN broadcast a report by Chris Lawrence entitled “New technology makes troops invisible.”

He interviews Guy Cramer of Canada’s HyperStealth Biotechnology Corp and partner of ADS Inc in their bid to win the US Army’s ongoing Camouflage Improvement Effort. The ADS/Cramer team produced the finalist US4CES pattern. Rumor has it that the Chief of Staff of the Army will be briefed this week on the results of the extensive testing undertaken to find a new family of camouflage patterns for use the the Army.

Cramer goes on to very briefly discuss his Quantum Stealth technology. As I understand it, CNN spent more than an hour with Cramer and yet edited it down to less than three minutes. It’s too bad because we want to hear Cramer speak more about his advanced camouflage concepts.

Recoil Issue 5 Is Out

Monday, December 3rd, 2012

20121202-195801.jpg

When Recoil magazine initially came out, it held a lot of promise. This wasn’t your average gun magazine. It had and continues to offer a different look. In fact, this latest issue, hitting news stands now, has the same look and feel as it’s initial success. Only one thing is missing, Editor Jerry Tsai who stepped down after Issue 4’s Second Amendment controversy.

So what steps has Recoil taken to move on? Aside from some personnel changes, the issue starts out with an article on the Second Amendment. In fact, it spells out in no uncertain terms that Recoil supports the Right to Keep and Bear Arms.

Additionally, the theme of this issue is Versatility. They cover a bolt gun, 2 pistols and shotgun. They also have some interesting content on the basics of preparing a bug out bag as well as what to look for in a used 1911. However, I feel they fall a little short on some content such as the lightweight rail, pistol light and boot photo spreads but the lack of depth may be as much a function of a wary industry than an oversight on Recoil’s part.

Like previous issues, there’s a pull-out full-size target although this one is a space alien. That’s a little different but follows the overall Recoil theme of being something different.

They haven’t returned to the full stable of advertisers they enjoyed prior to Issue 4’s editorial misstep but they are in better shape than they were in the beginning. They aren’t starting from scratch but you can see that they are taking steps to move forward.

I’m willing to see where this goes. How about you?
