182crazyking	Odd Tips May 25 2010, 11:07 PM EDT Heya! Well, I was reading something today and came across an interesting tidbit. And, being me, I thought, "That'd be useful to know in a zombie apocolypse" Have any of you ever came across a little fact or had a small idea that would help a bit to know in an outbreak? Post them here! I'll start with the tip I saw: instead of newer cookware like Teflon-coated stuff, there's one thing that won't be damaged with use and can actually add iron (healthy) to your food: the cast-iron skillet (I guess Kinelta was right!)

A_Don	2. RE: Odd Tips May 26 2010, 1:19 AM EDT You can pistol whip with a Colt 1911 revolver with enough force to shatter a skull. I assume this would apply to some newer weapons as well. Post reply Do you find this valuable?
182crazyking	3. RE: Odd Tips May 26 2010, 2:06 AM EDT Nice ideas; here's another: if you find a 6-volt battery, use a screwdriver (and some rubber gloves) to open it up: you can either get a few AA batteries or 4 D batteries from it. Post reply Do you find this valuable?
3DayAsylum	4. RE: Odd Tips May 26 2010, 2:16 AM EDT Have you ever tried that? I'm sure that you would drastically change your idea if you did. It's the power of testing before publishing. Post reply 5 out of 5 found this valuable. Do you find this valuable? Do you?
A_Don	6. RE: Odd Tips May 26 2010, 2:47 AM EDT "Have you ever tried that? I'm sure that you would drastically change your idea if you did. It's the power of testing before publishing." If you are referring to me, Watch the Deadliest Warrior Jesse James pistol whip. I've broken a 2x4 with my Colt 1911 which is no worse for show. Two and a half pounds of steel aren't too picky about what they break. The only downside was I got splinters in my hand. Now I know in a hand to hand fight I may not get a blow like one on a static object but like I said, two and a half pounds of steel isn't too picky. At the very least It would stun or knock a person out leaving them available for a followup love tap. Post reply Do you find this valuable?

_Mario_	8. RE: Odd Tips May 26 2010, 7:38 AM EDT Have you ever heard of polyphasic sleep? It's basically a sleeping technique that allows you to sleep only 2 hours a day. Very usefull if you're in a camp and you have a lack of workers. Here's a link to it's description: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyphasic_sleep Post reply Do you find this valuable?

You can get scars on your fingers by sticking things in electrical outlets, too. I type this with proof. (I was too young to know better. But I learned quickly. I also flew about eight feet.)

182crazyking	13. RE: Odd Tips May 26 2010, 6:41 PM EDT "dont put a hole can of starter flued in a 1gal gas can then try to run a motor with it. your motor will go bye bye." Lemme guess, experience? To Pedro, I haven't personally tried it (I will later), but I've seen a video on it and common sense dictates that it should work if you're insulated and grouned.

Knuxz	15. RE: Odd Tips May 26 2010, 8:22 PM EDT "You can start a fire by sticking a penny and some newspaper in a lightsocket. O'Doul Rules!" Well if there's no power, nothings gonna happen. Lightsockets only have power if the power is on. Dur. Post reply Do you find this valuable?
A_Don	16. RE: Odd Tips May 27 2010, 3:40 PM EDT "You can start a fire by sticking a penny and some newspaper in a lightsocket. O'Doul Rules!" You can start a fire with a variety of other things, all of which are neither as dangerous nor as dependent on the juice being on. That's not to say it isn't useful, just redundant in my opinion. Another tip: By molding some kinds of bark you can actually make a bowl and boil water. The water keeps the bark wet enough so it doesn't burn and also transfers the heat of the fire from the bark to itself. Be careful not to use a poisonous plant though.

But I learned quickly. I also flew about eight feet.)" I tried to change a dead lightbulb in my office area. I didn't know the power was still on, it felt like my entire arm was vibrating, the feeling went through my finger to my arm, down my right side, and ended at my leg. That is not the first screw up I've had with a lightbulb. I remember when I was 10 I melted a crayon on a lightbulb. I didn't want to make my mom mad so I got a wet paper towel and wiped all the crayon off. The water started to steam so I got a dry towel to wipe it off and the bulb failed. I got a nasty cut on my hand and had a rough time cleaning up all this white powdery stuff off my desk. Post reply Do you find this valuable?
