It happens to the best of us. You have the food but forgot the eating utensils or plates. When it comes to canned food, failing to bring the can opener may seem like an end-of-the-world disaster – unless you know these simple methods for opening a metal can without using a can opener.
Glue can be used to repair tents, tarps, and to form tools (e.g. fletching on an arrow). It can be used as a sealant for containers (or canoes) or to waterproof coverings. And of course, if you cannot scavenge glue, you must make it yourself. Pine pitch glue can be easily made producing a adhesive…
The Swedish Fire Torch, also known as a Canadian Candle, is a simple and efficient method to make a fire using a single log. In addition to being easy to ignite and control, it burns long and provides not only excellent warmth but a stable platform for cooking.
Its production of magnetism, activity, and winds have great implications for our planet but hey, it’s a “variable star” and as such, conditions are known to change. Unfortunately, scientists this week told reporters that the sun’s current space-weather cycle is the most anemic in over 100 years. The situation is especially disconcerting given the sun…
As any good survivalist knows, when caught in a survival situation, one of the first tasks at hand will be to build a fire. In addition to knowing how to construct a fire in the wilderness, you’re going to have to have the appropriate resources available which includes not only fuel, but the oh-so-important tinder…
Survivalists recognize the importance of traditional 550 paracord. It’s strong, compact, easy to work with, and provides all the characteristic benefits of cordage that a survivalist requires to stay alive (hey, if it’s good enough to suspend a parachute, it’s good enough for me). Thus far, there’s been no true alternative to paracord. Today that…
Napalm is the generic name for the mixture of a flammable petroleum substance, typically diesel gasoline, with a thickening or gelling agent to give the fiery substance “sticky” properties. Napalm-like fiery substances have been used since early Greek times for war purposes. Modern day uses include of course, as an incendiary substance that sticks readily…
In the wilderness, it is sometimes useful to be able to calculate the distance to a faraway object. Using a compass and basic trigonometry (don’t worry, we’ll show you how), you can easily estimate the distance to a faraway object. This is possible using principles of geometry and triangulation – if we know any three…
Here’s a treat for survivalists, backpackers, hikers, or anyone else looking for a dense, high-calorie food source that is non-perishable, easy to transport, and healthy. These “survival bars” can be cut into 2 inch by 2 inch squares and provide approximately 600 calories, 10 grams of fat, 25 grams of protein, and 40 grams of…
This week, the State of California continued to prove, boast almost, that they are out of touch with the rest of the nation as the California Senate continued to tighten gun control laws, which are already some of the toughest in the nation.

Books from Geek Slop Publishing
Living Truth Bible Study Guides
Despite its beautiful prose, you can’t just read Revelation; it requires diligent study. However, ineffective study techniques can lead to misunderstandings. Rather than imposing strict interpretations on the described events, use the concepts we present as a framework for understanding its intricate code. The Book of Revelation indeed provides more than just a foretelling of the tumultuous end of days. It reassures Christians that divine justice will ultimately triumph over evil and promises Jesus' eventual return as the rightful king of the world.
Chronicles of Enigma
While science and reason often seek to illuminate the unknown, there remains a certain allure in the unexplained—a realm where imagination and reality blur, creating a tapestry rich with wonder and possibility. Stories from the Chronicles of Enigma series endure not just as relics of the past, but as gateways to exploring the depths of our curiosity and the infinite potential of our world. Let us be the light that guides you through the darkness.
