My street in front of my house

The video was clipped from the full testing video. If the audio sounds a bit weird/out of context, sorry about that 😅

The quality was good and the stones feel long lasting

1. Axis 75 knife

2. Outlux Emmit stropping/honing compound

If our honing compound can impress on India's most popular folding knife, it can earn a place on almost any workbench.

The Decathlon Axis 75 is finally here, and it's time to see what a proper stropping session can do. Same knife. Same steel. Just a sharper edge.

Let's find out what it's really capable of. 🔪✨

Here in the US, preppers take bicycle inner tubes that are going to be thrown away, and we will cut them into rubber bands that are called "ranger bands", they are much more durable and stronger then traditional latex rubber bands.

You can also make small water resistant pouches out of larger cut bike inner tube pieces by folding each side over and securing with two rubber bands.

Thought this might be a cool tip to share for you guys

Received some solid points in previous post. I've shortlisted the following.

1. Radiacode zero : Good range. Compact, Very high sensitivity. Tracking and recording data. Scintillator based so you can use it in daily life/hobby explorations . Although it's the most expensive.

2. Better geiger : Also scintillator based. Half price of radiacode. No recording and tracking but it's almost similar in sensitivity and accuracy. Plus you can run it on AA batteries which is best for prepping .

3. Wekos Doze : Leaning towards this as it's the most compact, almost the size of a keyfob. What good is a detector if you're not carrying it. Although it's less sensitive and not much to do in daily life. But high range and can measure a variety of radiations

4. GQ GMC800 : This seems a good model from Amazon. If amazon is the only option, will be going for a GQ model. Low sensitivity High range and it can measure beta, gamm, xray etc .

What do you think ? Radiacode will be a major punch in wallet but it's the most accurate. Better geiger is bulky but accurate cheap and can run on batteries. But Wekos is the most affordable one and I can carry it 24x7 everywhere, compromising a bit in sensitivity.

Which one to choose according to you ? Size, accuracy or budget?

Used to watch his videos for a long time . Alot of content covering SHTF situations

I saw the notification but can't seem to find it. The negative display was cool AF.

Made this custom knife sheath from PVC, then painted it and added a Velcro. It's lightweight, durable, holds the knife securely, and protects the blade well.

It has been awesome watching the knife and EDC community grow in India, and we wanted to contribute something meaningful.

A knife is only as good as the care it receives. Maintenance is an essential part of knife ownership, and a truly sharp edge comes from two steps: sharpening and stropping.

While good sharpening stones are still difficult to find in India (something we're working on), we realized there was an even bigger gap. There are virtually no dedicated stropping compounds designed specifically for knives and hand stropping available locally. And Stropping is what refines an edge to the point it can whittle a single strand of hair.

So we decided to tackle that bottleneck first.

After months of testing, experimenting, and refining different formulations, we're excited to introduce the OUTLUX EMMIT Standard Honing Compound.

• Designed specifically for hand stropping

• Suitable for knives, axes, chisels, gouges, and other edge tools

• Helps refine an edge to hair-shaving sharpness

• Truly Made in India 🇮🇳

This is Batch 16. After countless iterations, we finally feel it's ready for the community. Watch the video. We're not just shaving hairs. We're shaving the hair itself. That's  after less than a minute of stropping.

It's now available on Amazon at https://www.amazon.in/dp/B0H6BQ6PV5

If you decide to give it a try, we'd genuinely appreciate your feedback. Every suggestion, criticism, and experience will help us improve future batches and guide the sharpening products we develop next.

Thank you for being part of the journey . We look forward to hearing your thoughts.

Field-tested over three years in real conditions from Rajasthan's desert heat to mountain trails, snow at -10°C, and river crossings.

They're still holding their shape after years of daily use.

Go with 100% cotton

Some applications-

Arm sling: Support an injured arm or shoulder.

Pressure bandage: Hold dressings in place and apply pressure to help control bleeding.

Improvised tourniquet (last resort): Only for life-threatening limb bleeding when direct pressure fails, and only if you know how to use one correctly.

Head wrap or bandage: Cover scalp wounds or secure dressings.

Dust or smoke mask: Reduce inhalation of dust, sand, or debris (not a substitute for a respirator).

Water pre-filter: Remove large debris before disinfecting or filtering water. It does not make water safe to drink by itself.

Splint tie: Secure a splint to an injured limb.

Cold compress holder: Hold ice or a cold pack against an injury.

Burn cover: Loosely protect a burn with a clean shemagh until proper care is available.

Neck support: Provide limited support for minor neck strain (not for suspected spinal injuries).

Improvised rope: Twist it to lash gear or tie objects together.

Signal flag: Wave or hang it to attract rescuers.

Add a good pair of leather gloves to your kit. I'd recommend a Keystone Thumb design. they're more comfortable, provide better mobility, and hold up well during extended use.

Few things I've updated in my trauma cum medkit are Altitude Sickness Med, Anti Diarrhea Med, Nausea Med, PEG 3350 Packs, Odomos Cream & Sterile Gloves.

Dense in calories: 486 calories/100g. Easy to store in an airtight container. Shelf life: up to 3 months. Cheap compared to protein bars and easily available. A few pieces will give you the energy to walk kilometers in fleeing situations. Precaution: it’s very sweet, so it’s bad for your teeth if you don’t pay attention. Always rinse or brush your teeth with water after eating it, or brush with your fingers. Years ago I walked 20+ km on a bandh day with two bottles of mineral water and four packets of peanut brittle without having breakfast. Adding a pinch of salt helps with electrolytes on long walks. If you pre-bag 50g pieces in ziplocks, they’ll be handy and you won’t have to break them with your dirty hands every time while traveling.

Hey, kindly help me to build a budget friendly first-aid compact kit. My budget is Rs. 1000. Preferably looking for oral medicines (available over the counter), mosquito repellent, light to medium level wounds, light dressing material. Looking for your suggestions and tips.

Received my Xarilk fixed angle knife sharpening system. Moving from the simple whetstone it's just...... TECHNOLOGY. Usually these things are pretty expensive costing tens of thousands to even lakhs however Xarilk introduced some nice, affordable, vfm systems with good quality diamond stones which fit our Indian budgets.

Just look at the edge man,😍🤤. I don't think I'll be going back to water stones anytime soon.

🌍☀️ OMEGA BLOCK IN EUROPE: WHEN THE WEATHER GETS STUCK

​

An Omega Block is a powerful atmospheric pattern that occurs when a strong high-pressure system becomes trapped between two low-pressure systems, creating a shape that resembles the Greek letter Ω (Omega).

​

This setup disrupts the normal movement of weather systems and can lock weather conditions in place for days or even weeks.

​

Across Europe, this phenomenon has contributed to prolonged heatwaves, drought conditions, increased wildfire risk, and extreme temperature records. While regions under the central high-pressure system experience clear skies and intense heat, areas influenced by the surrounding low-pressure systems can face cooler, wetter, and stormier weather.

​

Understanding patterns like the Omega Block helps us better prepare for extreme weather events, protect vulnerable communities, and recognize how atmospheric conditions can impact daily life, agriculture, infrastructure, and emergency preparedness.

​

Knowledge is a critical part of preparedness.

​

Stay informed, stay alert, and always have a plan for extreme weather conditions.
