Weekend Knowledge Dump- September 13, 2013

Here are a few links to articles and videos I found interesting this week. Some are intellectual. Some are informative. Some are just fun. If you have some free time, check them out this weekend.

 

 

Fight Like A Girl And Other Lessons From A Stabbing

 

 

One of the survivor's stab wounds...

One of the survivor’s stab wounds…

 

A great article that discusses lessons learned from a woman who fought off a serial sexual predator who was trying to kidnap her.

 

 

Martial Mistakes

Good information about a lot of mistakes people make in their training.  I like his advice on unarmed training the best:

“With the exceptions of corrections, hospital security, and secure mental facilities, almost no profession goes hands-on unarmed. Because it is stupid. If you know things are going to go bad, you get a weapon. And friends. And intel. And surprise. Crime, by the way, is another profession that uses weapons. And this goes back to the dueling/sparring paradigm. To get good at unarmed dueling is to develop skill at a very bad strategy, a strategy which has the sole purpose of stroking your ego. Don’t quit playing. I love to play. But don’t make it something it’s not.”

 

 

Get Over It! We Are Not All Created Equal

BAMS1-538x218

SIGSAUER-SSG3000-Sml

8 Apps for Wilderness Survival

Some good survival tools here…at least until your battery dies.

 

 

What will the M4 Do At 1,000 Yards?

010

Ever wonder what your M-4 with 55 grain ball ammo will do at 1000 yards?

 

Locating snipers? Yep, there’s an app for that

SOLOMON-Android-App-285x245

 

With the increasing likelihood of active shooters going mobile to frustrate rapid police response, I foresee aps like this one being critical components of future police and armed citizen tactics.

 

 

The Art of Manliness Podcast Episode #49: The Way of Men With Jack Donovan

podcast

 

A great interview with Jack Donovan that discusses the critical qualities of masculinity and the differences between being “a good man” and being “good at being a man”.  Jack’s book The Way of Men is a great read.

 

 

All Caracal C Pistols Recalled: No Fix Available

Caracal-Recall

It’s the third week in a row for a major pistol recall.  The Caracal C is now recalled as well.
