Injuries that will be produced by a nuclear explosion

This report concerns the types of injuries that will be produced by a nuclear explosion. The first topic to be covered will be scales of destruction, or how different sizes of bombs will produce different mixes of injuries and at what ranges. This part has a little math and geometry in it but is only five minutes long. Don't go to sleep yet! The second topic will be types and ranges of injuries caused by the blast portion of the bomb. This will cover injuries caused strictly by the over-pressure, throwing the body from the static pressure, injuries from hurled objects, and injuries from collapsing buildings. The third topic will cover...

Fishing Survival Kit

The "Fishing Survival Kit", a small lightweight fishing kit you can make yourself and put in your backpocket. It consists of 1-400 yd spool of 8 lb fishing line, a small quantity of the 3 smallest leadhead jig sizes in different assortments of colors (about 5 of each), plastic jig bodies for the jigs for when live bait is unattainable, the smallest "Swiss Army" 5 function pocketknife (actually, a keyring knife), some needles, some "strike Anywhere" matches, a small machine bolt and wingnut, and a electrical junction box cover (round). What you do, is take the spool of line, and remove the paper from one side... this exposes the voids on t...

29: Williams' Tips for Wrenching Times

Tips on Preparing for the worst by John J. Williams, Consumertronics

Store up one year's supply of food. Don't rely upon frozen or canned food but primarily upon wheat and dehydrated & freeze dried foods. Get into gardening if you have the space and keep an ample supply of seed to meet any upcoming crunch. Keep on hand large containers for storing water to be filled in a hurry when the collapse occurs. If your home cannot be defended against riotous mobs by you and your family alone, pick a retreat in a nearby wilderness quickly accessible to you along some direct route that does NOT go through a populated area. Obtain maps of your retreat area, studies of its flora and fauna (Forest Service a...

28: WHY CYBERPUNK?

One man's definition of a Cyberpunk by Phantom Writer

If you are unfamiliar with the Cyberpunk movement or what Cyberpunk is, this is an explanation for you. Even if you are 'punked, or think you are, this may change your view of what being 'punked is. Either way, this is one of the many views of what Cyberpunk is. Many people, even a few 'punks will tell you Cyberpunks are a hacker underground. The truth is that Cyberpunks are more than hackers. Cyberpunks are writers, such as Gibson or Sterling. Cyberpunks are artists, or thinkers. The true Cyberpunk is not tech, it is knowledge. Cyberpunks are free thinkers, they are those that know something is wrong, and something has to be ...

27: What is CYBERTEK?

Find out what Cybertek if for and how to subscribe to the Magazine by Thomas Icom, editor

CYBERTEK's first issue was released in April, 1990. CYBERTEK is a bimonthly newsletter for those whose desire is to maximize their freedom and be able to function as free citizens in a society which discourages and works against those desiring liberty. Cybertek's content consists of practical, hands-on articles about technology, security, and self-reliance. CYBERTEK exists because its producer feels that we are sliding downward to become more and more of a totalitarian society, and that part of the solution to this problem is to impart knowledge and information which is essential for people to have if they desire to exist as free ...

26: Survival Kits

Quick note and hints on what to keep in your survival pack by The Omega Man

There is quite a bit going on out there to worry about today. Within the past year we had two large-scale natural disasters: The San-Francisco Earthquake, and Hurricane Hugo. There was also a tornado in the Summer of 1989 which tore through the New York Metro Area (not far from Cybertek magazine's location actually); which is very unusual for this area. According to various scientists, this is just the start of a funky-weather trend which is going to be with us for a while. The economy isn't in all too good a shape either. Some very respectable economic advisors, among them Howard Ruff, and Dr. Jim McKeever are predicting a depres...

25: Survival Sunglasses

Pro's and Con's of reflective eye wear by John Williams

Highly reflective sunglasses (motorcycle police type) have major survival advantages. They can be obtained in both prescription and non-prescription form in any style. In fact, you can have existing glasses (not with plastic lenses) coated for about $10. (a little more today: ed.) Silver is the most popular coating but there are also blue, tan, pink, etc. The basis of this article is my own experience with reflective sunglasses and those of others I have interviewed. The following survival advantages are possible: 1. DEALING WITH UNDESIRABLES: Particularly bureaucrats and other scum. Gives the impression that you are a psychopathic killer...

24: Surplus Weapons

Tips on used/surplus weaponry by The Omega Man

People looking for inexpensive weaponry would be well served by checking out some of the surplus stuff that has been out on the market for the past couple years. Most is of good quality, and a working firearm can be purchased for well under $20 0. This is excellent when you consider that similar, new civilian pieces cost considerably more. If you are on a limited budget surplus is the way to go. One of the best & most versatile firearms being sold on the surplus market is the M1 Garand. This is an 8 shot semi- automatic rifle which uses the .30-06 caliber round. It was our standard infantry weapon during WWII and the Korean Conflict, ...

23: How To Contact The Militia

Radio "Talk Networks" of some Militia.

In light of some moves made by our elected representitives and their bureaucratic underlings that could be considered totalitarian, people across the country have been forming citizen's militias. The concept of a citizen militia is well grounded in our country's law; which considers every citizen above the age of 18 part of it, and makes a distinction betwen it, calling us the unorganized militia, and the organized militia which is the national guard and reserves. In addition, surpeme court cases involving firearms ownership have consistently based their decisions on the suitability of weapons for militia purposes. If one checks t...

22: Introduction to Radio Communications

Radio communications overview and applications by Thomas Icom

Radio is a powerful tool that you can use to make your activities run a lot more smoother. This article will go into some radio communications basics. Ham Radio Ham's are federally licensed radio operators who experiment with radio communications. They are licensed on many different frequency bands, ranging from shortwave to microwave, and are allowed to use not only voice, but also digital communications and video transmissions. Becoming a ham is fairly easy, and not only allows you legal use of certain frequency spaces, but also legitimizes playing around with radio. It also makes the purchasing of some rather powerful communication...

21: Pragmatism

A layman's guide by Hanover Fist

Pragmatic is defined as practical; Testing the validity of all concepts by their practical results. At least, this is how one of Webster's dictionaries defines it. It doesn't really do the word justice. Most people - at least those who `know' what the word means - believe that pragmatism is the philosophy that claims that the end justifies the means. Most people (dontcha' just love those nonspecific generalizations?) also claim that the end never justifies the means. To a pragmatist, both of these philosophies are equally wrong: the pragmatist believes that the end can justify the means. Strategically speaking, having the ...

20: An Intro to Pirate Radio

Introduction to Pirate Radio Systems by Necross Sinister & Thomas Icom

Getting a start in pirate broadcasting is pretty simple. To be honest with you, you probably have the basic stuff in your house already. FM Radio FM is one of the easiest bands to pirate in. You can also transmit here legally under the right conditions in accordance with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Under Part 15 you are allowed 100 milliwats of output power with a maximum antenna length of 3 feet. Under the best circumstances that gives you a maximum range of about a mile. If you're in the city, a mile might do it, but under any other circumstances, you'll need some power. For starting equipment you'll need a transmitter, an aud...

18: The Gurkha Khukri Fighting Knife

The case for the Gurkha Khukri Knife by John Williams

(reprinted with permission from Rebel #27) What is a Gurkha Khukri Fighting Knife? The Ghurkhas are members of Nepalese commando regiments serving in the British and Indian armed services. They are renowned for their ferocity, bravery, and efectiveness in hand-to-hand combat. The Khukri Fighting Knife is the crescent-shapped issue combat knife used by the Gurkhas. Its two versions: 1) 19 oz, 9.5" blade, 14" overall. 2) 22 oz., 12" blade, 17" overall. A few months ago, I ordered both versions from: ATLANTIC CUTLERY CORP., 2143 Gees Mill Rd., Conyers, Ga. 30207, 800- 241-3595/404-922-3700. (Excellent prices, quality products. -ed.) The ...

17: It's Not Who's Right But Who's Left

Common survivalist staple, some ideas on unity and a cause by John Williams, Consumertronics

We seasoned survivalists have a saying, "It's not who's right but who's left." Survival has ALWAYS depended upon one's ability and capability to survive. It has nothing to do with who is right or wrong. And one's ability to survive is becoming more crucial every day. I feel very fortunate to have grown up in the 50s and 60s, and I feel very sorry for my many young readers who weren't around during those times. Because our freedoms and lifestyles are being eroded gradually on a daily basis, the losses are sometimes hard to recognize over short periods of time.However, since the 50s and 60s, the cumulative losses are...

16: Some Interesting RF Chips

RF Chip notes and pointers for developers.

We just received some information about these ICs and thought I might pass it along. All of these ICs are complete radio circuits and have some useful applications. The first IC is a NE602 Frequency Converter made by Signetics. This chip contains a local oscillator and mixer. This chip is the basis of many projects including voice scramblers, radio repeaters, receivers, and RF converters (enabling you to receive frequencies that your equipment doesn't cover). You can get NE602 chips for $2.00 each + $2.50 s/h (per order) from Small Parts Center. 6818 Meese Drive, Lansing, MI 48911. For more info on this chip read the article in Ap...

15: Improvise with Electronic Components

Other uses for Shrink Wrap Tubing and wire ties by John Williams, MSEE

(reprinted from Rebel #28) I realize some of you who don't know Jack diddly about electronics have never been inside of an electronics parts house. NEVER LIMIT YOURSELF TO THOSE PRODUCTS AND EXPERIENCES YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH! One should at least occasionally browse thru electronics, electrical, plumbing, automotive, hardware, hobby, etc. stores for the sole purpose of thinking up improvised uses (as well as the designed-for use) of these products. I make a point of doing this and literally save my family and Consumertronics Co. $ Thousands per year just on the savings of doing-it-myself in cheaper, more effective and efficient ways. I...

14: Issue 1 Editorial: Doing Something

Editorial: Hackers; can they be politically motivated? by Thomas Icom

Taking a look at the "underground culture" scene for many years now, I am saddened and disturbed at what I am seeing. Many people have been involved "spreading the word" about the problems in our society, but have been falling short in their effectiveness in creating a positive change in society. Some of their actions have actually been slowing, or halting the pace of change which is most desperately needed. Within the past year while I've been working on what is now this magazine, I checked out several "underground" magazines, and interviewed several people involved in various aspects of the underground culture. The results were disa...

13: HIDING YOURSELF

WE ARE IN A TERRIBLE MESS! If ever there was a time in this country to make yourself scarce, this must certainly be it. Consider: After eight years of the Let's-Just-Pretend Reagan Administration and four years of the Let's-Wreck-The-Country- Even-More Bush Administration, we are on the brinks of both an economic catastrophe that makes the Great Depression look like a Sunday picnic and a world war that's going to pale all of our previous wars. Japan, and other foreign countries, are buying up America at such a frenzy - even our National Park concessions and our great institutions -that the prospect of America being turned into...

12: A Neat FAX Trick

How to Neutralize a Fax machine

Someone heard about this somewhere and decided to pass it along to us. We don't know where it came from but figured we'd oblige our anonymous contributor. While we don't advocate breaking any laws of course, we do have to admit that it's a fine example of good old American ingenuity and pass it along for educational purposes only to show that there is still a bit of imagination and an inventive spirit left somewhere in this country. It involves getting a piece of obnoxious artwork and making three photocopies of it. The traditional one was a photocopy of someone's middle finger sticking up but certain unnamed people th...
