The Lost Ways by Claude Davis

http://thelostways.net

This book is chock full of great information, from how to distill, cast bullets, what to forage in forests, making mills, navigation, preserving water, smoke houses, weather survival skills and more. This guy really takes you back two hundred years so you can see how our ancestors not only survived this world without modern technology, but thrived.

Littlewolf12: To piggyback off the gardening theme, those interested might want to look into natural remedies for the treatment of ailments, etc. Who knows what we may have available in the future?

There are more sources out there than I expected. Although we used it for centuries before our modern era, the practice is undervalued today and often mocked. There are many reasons for that, as we know! But the more we can help ourselves, the more we empower ourselves :)

I recently purchased this book:

https://www.amazon.com/Complete-Illustrated-Guide-Holistic-Herbal/dp/1852307587

These next two also come highly recommended:

https://www.amazon.com/Herbal-Antibiotics-2nd-Alternatives-Drug-resistant/dp/1603429875

https://www.amazon.com/Herbal-Antivirals-Remedies-Resistant-Infections/dp/1612121608

There are many people who know much, much, much more about the subject, so please correct me or add what might be helpful!

Augs?

[–] explorer1357 2 points

Garbo calls them Super Soldiers... Theyre basically Kayeen pawns bred for strength, endurance, power, and minimal empathy. They live on another planet right now, Kayeen mostly uses them as disposable invasion forces when they need to invade a planet by force after their less costly plans have failed.

Remember, alien invasions are extremely costly, RD has mentioned this numerous times. Sadly his Naigaje planet was subject to the savage AUGS, which is what I call them for short, since technically, RD calls them Augmented Soldiers.

At least on his planet... Before they were considered an AEL species, Kayeen saw them as a threat to their primate based species, since Naigaje were Reptilian based and were very technologically advanced, most notably they knew how to create cocktails from plants, which basically makes primate based species into ravenous zombies.

And so... The Kayeen was like 'fuck it... Lets wipe them out just in case'

And they dumped a bunch of AUGS on the planet. There was great loss of life, the AUGS were literally like tornadoes of rage and destruction, RD has mentioned they were usually implanted in the skull to release these aggression hormones until they basically died.

One factor that contributed to so much loss on the Naigaje side was the fact that Kayeen had partial success beforehand by convincing Naigajes to succumb to disarment legislation, aka on Earth as 'common sense gun control'.

This is why RD is a staunch supporter of private ownership of weapons and an armed populace.

At Naigaje only law enforcement had weapons, and they were ultimately outnumbered.

What saved them was basically 'kamikaze' Naigaje that delivered the 'zombie fungi' at AUGS and Kayeen, which, to be respectful, these Naigaje were followers of the One and sacrificed themselves so others could live.

So ultimately...Kayeen got what they had set out to prevent in the first place... Many Kayeen colonies got infected, and they too suffered huge losses. I am not kidding... This is literally zombies. You ever see 'I am Legend'?? It was like that.

So...RD has said it may be likely Kayeen will drop these AUGS unto us as one variable of their depopulation equation. Idk about you... But shooting AUGS sounds a whole lot better than fist fighting these beasts.

RD has given us a valuable insight into the weakness of the energy shields. They have a force field that basically melts/explodes metal projectiles. So traditional bullets are useless.

However the shield ends just above the ankle, this is where apparently the archilles heel legend comes from. I guess if you're a pretty good marksman and you got a foot fetish and only regular ammo... Maybe you can be content with shooting thier feet...

But ceramic bullets will go right through the shield, because it confuses it. This is also why Naigaje usually carry ceramic daggers on them in daily life.

So he says our guns are perfect... High tech weaponry is very vulnerable to electronic attacks. Firearms are reliable... All we have to do is tweak the bullet material to ceramic.

Of course... This is all just in case the nightmare of Kayeen AUGS becomes reality.

Interesting. I wonder if pykrete would work.

I'm proud of you! You got it almost completely right!

Today's super soldiers used hy the Kayeen are mostly pre-cataclysm humans mentally overwritten by the Kayeen. They are augmented.

However, the zombie like attackers on the Naigaje home world were Homo Erectus, cannibalistic, starved, hormonally juiced up and dumped to create maximum havoc. They made their pitiful little stone axes from debris they found on the planet and tried to kill any Naigaje they saw, just to eat!

The broken Naigaje trying to collect their wounded and protect their families were ambushed by these pitiful savages, our ancestors. This is why the Naigaje attacked our world during the Cataclysm almost 13,000 years ago.

Lol that first sentence means so much to me

See... I goof around a lot but Im actually really into this thing.

You could make a 5.56 mold or buy one. From there it's just clockwork of shaping rounds, kiln into ceramic and bullet pressing them. Load mags and you're good to go.

The beauty of ceramic is that you can shape your rounds to do hallow-point or hollow r.i.p. impacts, if you have the know how.

Most things are not going to get very far from a hollow r.i.p. slug/bullet.

If you still want to go the metal route you can get a small 3D metal cutting machine. The bullet designs are out there. Just load your metal, 3d bullet design and hit print. Or you can do it old fashion and melt/pour scrap/junkyard metal into a bullet mold.

Tastytreats: Hi, I tried to post both a link and then a text sharing the wealth of info available on r/CoolGuides to r/InsurrectionEarth but both posts failed with unexplained errors (on mobile) and wanted to share.

It’s an almost accidental melt good resource for survival and prepping in general, links to Morse code, gardening, animal spotting, etc

HTH.
