    Is Your Home Bulletproof?

    The results are interesting to say the least. If you are using most types of softwood, there is a good chance of anything above .22LR blowing through single log thicknesses up to 10 inches. However, with hardwoods and larchwood the difference was astounding... For those old-schoolers rocking a...

    Is Your Home Bulletproof?

    Well this is something often discussed in firearms groups, survivalist and police circles. Now a few divers I know will have owned and shot guns. How safe are they if those guns are turned and fired at their homes? Let's find out! Board houses will need some protection internally to stop...

    Secure Underground Storage (taken to the next level!)

    Best place to store your Scuba tanks! ;) Here is the story: Mike, the owner, dug out the underground shelter / bunker from 1995 to 1997 by hand with no mechanized equipment to help him. This was at 10,000 feet elevation with short summer seasons. The most expensive consideration was...

    DL's Adventure into the Rocky Mountains!

    Indeed Mike, indeed! :D ---------- Post added January 2nd, 2013 at 03:55 AM ---------- Into the Mountains! Getting to MMM’s Retreat was a bit tricky due to the dreadful forest fire that raged through parts of Colorado in early June. It was so bad that one of the key highways was closed...

    DL's Adventure into the Rocky Mountains!

    Mike’s garden in the city was by no means without nature. I set my backpacker tent up up. Big tree’s and squirrels scurried about every morning! Getting to the Wilderness Area… The stove set-up I'd be relying on mostly for food cooking etc. Mike's place does have a campfire area, but...

    DL's Adventure into the Rocky Mountains!

    Excursion to America… Arriving on my quest to reach the Mountain Retreat wasn’t easy. Going through all the ‘Gatekeeper’ areas of airports on both sides of the Atlantic was a bit of an ordeal. But nothing to worry anyone who has travelled about a bit and...

    Tales from the Mountain Hold

    Chapter 2 Galt’s Road http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uT8pKI_Gztg The Journey north was a trek and in the midst of all that foot slogging was a peculiar silence for the most part. Mike Galt was once a soldier; though his old bones had already passed fifty he still had ‘the old fire’...

    My Eager Beaver

    This cool blade I have and still use is a Beaver Ranger! It's a dedicated dive knife I bought while in the UK With a plastic scabbard and lanyard system that integrates onto the knife itself (and scabberd) means it can be retrieved in zero-visibility. As a Beaver make of knife it is a good...

    Tales from the Mountain Hold

    Book 1 Chapter 1 Prison Town Old Galt stood over six feet tall with beaming hazel-green eyes. This day though did not see him take up his usual despondent manner in the ramparts of Gelstown. Instead, as evening moved to night-time he had the people loyal to him and his cause...

    Mark of the Tech Diver!

    I'm gonna give this thread a big bump, because it really is fair to assume that the MOTT is a good benchmark in some respects. It's not perfect BUT it does show you work your way through the levels until you get good enough at something to crack on with the real holy grail of tech diving - The...

    Commercial Diving Webpages: Everything you wanted to know but were afraid to ask...

    Back in the olden days of the 1960s to 1980s there was more health risks involved with commercial diving. This was partly to do with the lifestyle, conditions but mostly the decompression models used, which were very aggressive. Bone necrosis being one such long-term illness.

    Commercial Diving Webpages: Everything you wanted to know but were afraid to ask...

    It's bulky, heavy, a strain on your neck, but very useful for commercial diving at depths of up to 300M. When you come out of the water you really feel the weight of the thing and I can't wait to have it off my head after a dive.

    The Murals of Denver Airport - Conspiracy?

    I guess that's the point, one type of subliminal is easy for the listener to 'tune-into' the other is going to just 'sit' there and be 'absorbed' by every passer-by that looks at it while in the airport and knowing no better...

    Military Diving - Through the Ages...

    Though military diving (aka Combat Diving) has been apparent throughout the ages. Alexander the Great made use of divers for scouting harbours and obstacles and some historians argue the vikings also used them. However it is only in the past fifty or so years that it has fully 'come-of-age' and...
