Primitive Predator Trap

Living history guru Le Loup has a great video on snaring predators that may come in handy for TEOTWAWKI situations. Many states don’t allow snaring of fur bearers so check your local laws but should there be a situation when you’re on your own and feral dogs and cats, coyotes, wolves and even larger animals become a problem this set up should help eliminate them.

Fur prices are actually pretty depressed though there is still money to be made in furs, albeit not enough to support a family but for some it’s a fine part time gig that can put a little extra money in the bank. The new issue of Fur-Fish-Game predicts wolf, fox and bobcat pelts to be moving at decent prices … if you can find a buyer. Some pelts aren’t selling at all as fur buyers are stuck with supplies that have been difficult to move.

After a civilization altering event though that will change and furs, needed for warm clothing, will again be very valuable. Learning the basics of trapping and preparing skins is not the worst way to spend your time. This trap uses a snare as a leg hold which is not legal in any state, but will preserve the catch if you’re running a long line after peak oil for example.

Muslim Desecrates Basilica di Santa Maria del Fiore

The weakness the West has shown in the face of Jihadism has made the Muslim on the street, who respects strength and despises weakness, realize it is their time to rule. This lone Muslim desecrated a Catholic holy site in front of throngs of people, and since nothing was done to him look for increasing outrages by Muslims in Italy in the coming months:

Uprisings of Islamists will follow, and will spread to all Western countries as our economies slow down and civil unrest ensues. The Islamic Imperialists realize the West as a whole no longer has a spine and will react accordingly.

College Professor Calls for Extermination of Israel, Denies Holocaust

My Jewish friends have often wondered about the rise in anti-semitism among the young, especially college aged children. This CBN report provides an example of an uncomfortable truth. American higher education purposefully teaches anti-Jewish hatred and employs people who promote those views:

In the event of civil unrest or financial collapse Jewish Americans need to take extra safety percaustions to defend their lives and property.
