While a few folks on Unchainedpreppers do write great DIY articles it is sporadic. So I am making the following challenge to this illustrious group.
If everyone who participates regularly on UP would write (Or film) two (2) DYI articles a year on what ever subject interests you, we would all benefit.
This is the criteria:
1) The article needs to be about one of the 3-B's - Beans, Band-aides, and Bullets.
2) The article needs to be a minimum of 1,500 words or if you post a YouTube DIY, it needs to be a minimum 5-minutes long.
3) If you are not the most agile at typing an article or filming, I am more than willing to help/edit/bounce idea's off, et cetera.
The question is..."Who will meet this challenge?"

I am planning on doing a few first aid and TCCC videos.
-
AWESOME mechmedic! :bravo:
-
TCCC videos.
TCCC?
N
I will get into an Appleseed course and earn an upper level cert.
I will be doing substantially more reloading and get some of the bushels of parts I have put together. They take up less room and store better.
I will be doing recoil therapy at least once a week (unless range is flooded) and doing much better with getting lead on a small target while moving.
I will get my NRA basic pistol class completed and Basic Pistol Shooting instructor certs. I have the RSO cert so they will balance out.
I don't know how much I will be doing on the writing part but will attempt.

Nemo and group, if you need any help with the writing part I can help.
A friend just sent me a basic out line of what he wanted to release and I wrote a ~2,000 paper for him.
Sent back once written he made a few comments and deleted/added a few lines and viola! He had his article written.

I'm game. not sure what to opine on. I'm an electrons guy.
Nemo, TCCC is likely Tactical Combat Casualty Care - kinda MechMedic's thing :)
I could be wrong but... well there's my guess.

Yes, sorry. TCCC, TC3, or T-trip-3 are all ways to refer to Tactical Combat Casualty Care. It was an attempt (and a quite successful one at that) to standardize medical care under fire across the DOD. It is updated by a Committee (CoTCCC) of voting and non voting members who must have combat medical experience to be a part of. Every decision they make is backed by numerous studies and rigorous testing to ensure only the best procedures, tools, and equipment gets pushed forward to Medics, Corpsmen, and PJ's.

I took a TC3 class from MVT a few years back. It was only a 4-hour class. When over I realized I needed a more involved class on this subject. I truly believe that this subject is WAY under covered. Remember equal amounts of the 3B's will get Johny & Suzy through a bad event.

Don't forget the Plus 2, as assistance for longer term occurrences.

I'll be reading and watching whatever you guys put out but I'm not wordy enough to type 150 words much less 1500

I have done a few papers where --at this point in time-- was substituted for --now.

I'll give it a shot, Bullet related
- If your gonna shoot, shoot, Dont talk
- Dying aint much of a livin boy
- You feel lucky punk
- If you draw your gun you better bring it up smokin
:dancingGrenade: :dance: :dancingBanana:

AWESOME brother! Thank you :cheers:

Having a running vehicle after SHTF
CHRYSLER:
Chrysler engines up to and including 1972 had points and condenser and in 1960 started using alternators.
They made a number of different engines.
V8’s
There was the “A” block 318 cu in old style, a rare 326 old style, the new style 273, 318, 340 and the 360. The “B” block started at 350, 361, 383 short and long stroke, 400, 413, 426 wedge and the 440. I purposely left out 426 Hemi because of its size and fuel consumption. The “A” engine’s distributors are the same but in the “B” engines the 350 to 400 are the same but the 413 to 440 the shaft is longer. The distributor goes in right or wrong. If it is wrong just take it out and turn it 180 degrees.
6 cylinder
There’s the 175 and the 225. Their shaft has a gear so you have to pay attention when taking it out and reinstalling it.
Chrysler's electronic ignition was used on all 1973 and '74 vehicles and on 1975 and newer vehicles that did not use Electronic Lean Burn, or Electronic Spark Control. Because Chrysler engineers chose to make the electronic ignition system a drop-in replacement when it was introduced, which makes very easy to adapt it to earlier vehicles or those later vehicles that did not originally use it. Which means you can go backwards just as easy. You will need a distributor with points and a fire wall mounted resistor (keeps the points from burning up to soon). The coil is already there.
The resistor is connected to the run side of the ignition switch then to the coil, there is also a wire that is connected from the start side of the ignition switch to the coil side of the resistor. On start up the resistor is bypassed and when the ignition is released it runs through the resistor.
Voltage regulator:
As with any model car/truck the alternator has diodes, some have an external voltage regulator and some have one built in. Which ever you have before SHTF they have to be protected from CME/EMP.
Also make sure the vehicle does not have an electric fuel pump.

here is my second one

Wouldn't a diesel engine be a better choice? Again something pre-electronics like a tractor?
Bio-diesel or WVO would then be low-tech fuel options.
