The Third hedgeless_horseman's 12 Days of Christmas ~ Gift ideas for the Zero Hedge reader in your life
Giving these first six gifts, and actually reading them [7], is the best way I know to work for peace on earth, and clearly more effective than just stating, "Peace on Earth," on your Christmas card.

As mentioned in my article, Guide for Learning to Use a Sidearm to Defend Yourself, Your Loved Ones, and Your Property, Should a Race War Break Out [15] , where I say the following about knives:
I recommend that you begin learning to use a pistol to defend yourself by learning to use a knife to defend yourself. Why? Well, first, it is an inexpensive and low-risk way to discover who the good tactical instructors are in your area. Second, the learning curve for a knife is much shorter, and can also serve to shorten the learning curve for a handgun. Third, a knife can be more effective than a pistol in many situations. Fourth, there are many situations when, or where, you simply cannot carry a pistol, but you can carry a knife. Finally, a knife is a good back-up to a malfunctioning pistol, or more likely a malfunctioning shooter.

We have worn the run-a-mocs for years. They are amazing!!! Now, they make a boot.
In my article, Questions to assist in creating a working inventory of mind, body, and equipment for living in dangerous or uncertain times, [17] some of the questions asked are:
- Am I able to run for my life for more than a minute?
- Do I have the strength to manage my own body weight? For example, can I pull myself up over a six-foot wall?
- Am I fit enough to perform sexually?
- Am I able to swim 500+ meters?
- Am I able to carry myself, my pack, and my weapon up, down, across, over, around, and through obstacles for many miles?
$408 will enable swimming 4-5 days per week for 30+ minutes, and can get almost anyone to a, "yes," on each of the questions in 90 days.
