  • Field-Expedient Weapons, Tools, and Equipment
    FIELD-EXPEDIENT WEAPONS, TOOLS, AND EQUIPMENT As a soldier you know the importance of proper care and use of your weapons, tools, and equipment. This is espe- cially true of your knife. You must always keep it sharp and ready to use. A knife is your most valuable tool in a sur- vival situation. Imagine being in a survival situation with- out any weapons, tools, or equipment except your knife. It could happen! You might even be without a knife. You would probably feel helpless, but with the proper knowledge and skills, you can easily improvise needed items. In survival situations, you may have to fashion any num- ber and type of field-expedient tools and equipment to sur- vive. Examples of tools and equipment that could make your life much easier are ropes, rucksacks, clothes, nets, and so on. 12-1 Weapons serve a dual purpose. You use them to obtain and prepare food and to provide self-defense. A weapon can also give you a feeling of security and provide you with the ability to hunt on the move. CLUBS You hold clubs, you do not throw them. As a field-expedient weapon, the club does not protect you from enemy soldiers. It can, however, extend your area of defense beyond your fingertips. It also serves to increase the force of a blow without injuring yourself. There are three basic types of clubs. They are the simple, weighted, and sling club. Simple Club A simple club is a staff or branch. It must be short enough for you to swing easily, but long enough and strong enough for you to damage whatever you hit.

  • The Arrow Shafts Is Pseudosasa Japonica Or Commonly Called Japanese Arrow Bamboo
    The Japanese Arrow By Godai Katsunaga Intorduction The Ya, or arrow of Japan and was between 34 and 38 inches in length, made of fire hardened bamboo shafts and had a steel arrow head., During this period and earlier arrows used in combat were often marked to identify who owned them, this allowed samurai to get the proper credit for killing an opponent. Period Construction The bamboo used for the arrow shafts is Pseudosasa japonica or commonly called Japanese arrow bamboo. This bamboo grows in slender culms that are packed tightly together, forming a dense hedge, with large, dark green foliage. It is a tough and versatile bamboo that will thrive in shade and in sun while growing to about 15 foot tall and was common throughout Japan. Farmers and other workers harvested the bamboo in the early winter when the plants saps were down. To get the required diameter need to make arrows the plants that were between two and three years in age were preferred. After harvesting, the best bamboo was hand selected and ideally stored for about a year for drying, allowing most of the moisture in the plant material to evaporate. Preparation of each shaft included having the nodes shaved off and then softening the shaft by placing it in hot sand prior to straightening it by hand. After the shafts were straightened, they were exposed to high heat to remove any remaining moisture and harden the natural sugars, creating a stronger bond of the natural fibers; this was known as fire hardening. Fletching was done with hawk, eagle, crane or pheasant tail feathers and could be either three or four flights depending on the arrow head that would be mounted.

  • Silent Weapons
    SURVIVAL PAPER #SP96-18 Survival Papers is a service program of Live Free, USA, P.O. Box 375, Dolton, IL 60419-9998, USA, www.live-free.org Dedicated to the support of responsible preparedness and self-reliance SILENT WEAPONS By Christopher Nyerges [Nyerges is the author of Testing Your Outdoor Survival Skills and Guide to Wild Foods. He has been conducting Wild Food Outings and Survival Skills Outings since 1974. A schedule of his classes can be obtained by writing to Survival News Service, Box 41834, Eagle Rock, CA 90041.] As evidenced by the many societies who still today effectively use silent, primitive weapons, the firearm is not the only method of defense or hunting. Still, aren’t all firearms better than any of the primitive weapons? The answer all depends on your perspective. If you consider the relative inherent accuracy of most modern firearms, the relative ease of operation by someone unskilled, and their relative stopping or killing power, then firearms definitely rank superior to most all other weapons. Yet, there are several important reasons for investigating primitive, silent weapons as a part of your overall, long-term survival strategy. The primitive weapons described here are silent, or nearly so. The value of silence in a survival situation is at least two-fold: You may not want to announce your whereabouts, and when hunting, you won’t frighten away every animal in the vicinity after your first rifle blast. In most cases, maintenance of modern firearms requires a simple cleaning kit. But assumes you have a press and all of the needed accessories.

  • E, the Magic Flute
    MOZART THE MAGIC FLUTE English Version by Donald Pippin SYNOPSIS Strange things are going on in the land of the all-powerful Queen of the Night. A serpent of Jurassic proportions is on the loose, and woe to the hapless wanderer who gets in its way, in this case a young prince -- our hero -- who rushes in crying for help, and unheroically faints. He is rescued in the nick of time by three mysterious ladies who dispatch the serpent with effortless aplomb. The ladies depart, albeit reluctantly – the unknown Prince lying unconscious on the ground is exceedingly good-looking -- to report their success to the Queen, still despondent over the recent kidnapping of her beloved daughter Pamina. But if the Queen is so all-powerful, how is it that her own daughter has been seized and whisked away from under her nose? Why did she not stop it? Good question. Could it be that the Queen is up against an even more irresistible force? Or is there more to the story than meets the eye? One may even suspect that she has already spotted the prince, whose name is Tamino, and already chosen him to rescue the helpless girl from the villain who is holding her captive. And now, to inspire him to the task, she promptly sends him, via the three ladies, a picture of Pamina. One look and, needless to say, Tamino falls in love, as who would not? Ready to risk all for the sake of love, called to action, wild horses could not hold him back.

  • Sewing Needle Temperature and Fabric Bending Property Correlation
    Sewing Needle Temperature and Fabric Bending Property Correlation B.A. Muralidhar Department of Textile Technology, A C Tech. Campus, Anna University, Chennai, India Key words: Sewing needle, needle heat, fabric bending Abstract: Sewing needle temperature is one of the main properties, seams, sewing machine problems during sewing of thermoplastic materials. The needle temperatures can cause fabric and sewing thread damage. Many studies have been carried out to understand the parameters which influence needle temperature. Understanding these parameters will help in minimizing the problem of needle heating. Needle heat is influenced by needle, fabric characteristics and the sewing conditions. In this project an attempt has been made to correlate the bending modulus of three different construction 100% cotton fabrics of the same GSM with varying thickness. The fabrics were sewn in the sewing machine at a constant speed of 3500 rpm without sewing Corresponding Author: thread in 3 different seams. The needle temperature was B.A. Muralidhar recorded with the help of an infrared pyrometer at time Department of Textile Technology, A C Tech. Campus, intervals of 30 sec for 5 min.
