Radio as a tool of survival
One night I was putt puttin around the hinterlands of Fort Hood in my
1961 VW van.You know those tall post that have the stranded steel guy wires? I managed to get the right rear wheel of my van hung up on one of those guy wires.I got my trusty Visegrip pliers with the wire cutter thingy on them.(it was dark out there) I hacked away at that guy wire untill I got the wheel unstuck and then I got the hell away from there! cuhulin |

Radio as a tool of survival

Hi. I'm reading Daphne Du Maurier's short story "The Birds" right now. In this story, a family is inside their boarded up house, attacked by thousands of birds. They tune to their radio and learn that farther away,in the cities, the population is under attack by hordes of large birds. These attacks seem to be organized, military, and reasoning. I'm interested in the radio as a tool of survival in an emergency: weather, terror, war, epidemic, or alien. What would be some of the best radios to own as a source of news information and survival in a time of severe crisis and emergency? Whatever radio you get be sure it has a crank for power and that you test it once a month to be sure it's working ok. Also a 9MM handgun with enough ammo to last a while. Water, water, water. |

During a real crisis (see Art Bell for aliens, birds, famine and other unlikely happenings) the ham bands will provide you with very little useful information when an emergency occurs. You need to be in touch with the real emergency responders, or at least know what their instructions are. The chances are that they will communicate by local radio station, as was done during Katrina. At least one New Orleans station broadcast local emergency information nonstop. So get a hand crank Grundig radio that covers AM and FM. |
