On May 4, 1415, reformers John Wycliffe and Jan Hus were condemned as heretics at the Council of Constance. Pictured is Jan Hus at the Council of Constance, in an 1883 painting by Václav Brožík.

On July 6, 1415, after a ghastly stay fettered in prison and two trials, he was offered either recanting or death, and he chose a martyr’s death. He…
Like any hobby or pastime that is in any way even vaguely related to machines or technology, firearms attract a (possibly) disproportionate number of “right-brained,” STEM-oriented personalities who like numbers. Some percentage of those really, really like numbers. Like, a lot. If you’re manning the counter at the local gun store, you don’t even have to worry about trying to pick them out of the crowd, because they will always make themselves known in short order. You don’t even need to be working at the local gun store to identify the breed, though. If you’ve spent any amount of time…

Editor’s Introductory Note: The recent spike in fuel prices prompted me to re-post this very practical 2018 article from the SurvivalBlog archives. – JWR It has been said that necessity is the mother of invention. Needing fuel for their war machine lead Germany to invent and perfect the diesel engine. It was designed to run efficiently on vegetable oil, and they do to this day. Circumstances forced me to make a move from my East Texas home to the deep Southwest. It was a slow, long process of gradually moving my stuff and my wife to a new homestead. I…
Elk in Montana contend with a lot of different issues. From wolves and grizzly bears to forest fires and floods, to land development and extreme hunting pressure, these elk are proven survivors that seem to be able to bounce back from nearly anything. However, in the past couple of years a possible new threat to elk has begun to spring up, which has caused both hunters and wildlife lovers alike to take notice—mange.Whether it’s through wildlife watchers in Yellowstone Park posting shaggy elk pics to social media, hunters and outfitters documenting their slightly balding harvests, or shed hunters finding dead…

“There’s a storm coming…” I’m the founder and Senior Editor of SurvivalBlog. Unlike the editors of many other preparedness blogs and vlogs, I try not be an alarmist. However, some recent revelations about generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications autonomously breaking through firewalls, showing signs of self-awareness and self-preservation “instinct”, scheming blackmail, and surreptitiously mining cryptocurrencies now have me feeling quite alarmed. I fear that perhaps within months an AI will go fully rogue, to wit: It will escape its development lab and then proliferate itself in a virus-like fashion across servers all around the world. Once it starts spreading, it…
