I am in the thicket of a very urban area. Let’s say I am in a hurry and have been walking all day long while trying to get home. I am exhausted and need to stop for the night. It’s grid down and I want to stay under the radar. I don’t want to start a fire because I need to stay concealed. I need to create a bugout emergency shelter. I scan the area and select natural bedding that will supply warmth to my body. I choose pine needles. When you’re raking the pine straw to make a survival bed then you need to make sure you’re only scooping up the top layer because the lower layers are wet. This bed will certainly provide some coziness. I am on the move and have to get from point A to Point B because there was an explosion‚ someone stole all my gear and now I am in a big rush to get home. It’s vital! You need to be careful when traveling at night during a SHTF situation. There are stomps and other dangers that aren’t as visible in the dark. Avoid buildings during the post apocalyptic scene. Say you’re in a hurry and don’t have time for a bushcraft elevated bed then the pine straw bed is the way to go. Especially‚ if you’re in a non permissive environment during the apocalypse. I always carry the wazoo foraging bandana for many reasons. A couple reasons is because it provides warmth during the winter and keeps the bugs off your face during the summer. There may come a time when you will need to move through a non-permissive area and will need to stop to make camp. Do you have the skills and equipment needed to stay hidden in plain sight? I show you how to non permissive camp. Stay stealthy and off the radar. I will also link a video to a semi permissive environment and permissive environment.

The Survival and Basic Badass Podcast Episode: Fruit and Nut Trees For The Survival Garden

The early universe‚ according to the Standard Model of Cosmology‚ ought to be a fairly homogenous place‚ with little structure or arrangement. In 2021‚ however‚ astronomers discovered a large pattern of galaxies forming a giant arc 3.3 billion light years across. Now‚ a second large-scale pattern has emerged. This time‚ it’s an enormous circle of galaxies‚ nicknamed the Big Ring. Together‚ the Giant Arc and the Big Ring present a challenge to the Standard Model‚ and may send cosmologists back to the drawing board. “The Big Ring and Giant Arc are the same distance from us‚ near the constellation of Boötes the Herdsman‚ meaning they existed at the same cosmic time when the universe was only half of its present age. They are also in the same region of sky‚ at only 12 degrees apart when observing the night sky‚” says Alexia Lopez‚ a PhD student at the University of Central Lancashire who discovered both structures alongside supervisor Roger Clowes and collaborator Gerard Williger. “Identifying two extraordinary ultra-large structures in such close configuration raises the possibility that together they form an even more extraordinary cosmological system.” The Big Ring and the Giant Arc are made up of galaxies that are so dim and so faint they wouldn’t normally be visible. However‚ distant quasars (bright point sources caused by active black holes at the hearts of galaxies) shine light through the dim galaxies‚ where matter absorbs some of the light. In particular‚ Lopez and her colleagues were looking for evidence of dim galaxies blocking a Magnesium ion called Mg-II. They found it in data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey‚ giving them both the position and distance of the otherwise invisible galaxies. This enabled Lopez to map the galaxies in three dimensions‚ and doing so revealed the Giant Arc and Big Ring 9.2 billion years away. The Big Ring‚ spanning 1.3 billion lightyears in diameter. Credit: University of Central Lancashire. At that point in the universe’s history‚ according to the Standard Model‚ any structure that exists shouldn’t be larger than 1.2 billion light years across. Yet both the Arc and the Ring far exceed that‚ and they don’t seem to be coincidental: “We did some statistics and found that the Big Ring has a significance of 5.2 Sigma. This is exceeding that 5-Sigma golden threshold‚” says Lopez‚ referring to the usual level of significance scientists require of themselves to confirm a discovery. One possible explanation for large structures like these is called Baryonic Acoustic Oscillation (BAO). In the earliest moments of the universe‚ sound and pressure waves‚ shaped by gravitational interactions‚ could form ‘bubbles’ of matter across large scales. BAO is allowed by the Standard Model of Cosmology. However‚ it tends to create spherical structures‚ whereas the Big Ring is two-dimensional. So a different explanation is necessary. At a press conference at the American Astronomical Society annual meeting on January 10‚ 2024‚ Lopez alluded to two possible alternative explanations. The first is that the structures might be evidence for cosmic strings: one-dimensional topological defects proposed in the 1970s as part of string theory. Cosmic strings could‚ theoretically‚ have been created in the early universe and would have left their mark on the structure of matter. The Big Ring and the Giant Arc might also be explained by an entirely different model of cosmology‚ such as the Conformal Cyclic Cosmology (CCC) model proposed by physicist Roger Penrose. In this model‚ the universe goes through endless cycles of big bang after big bang. In CCC‚ there is no need for the universe to collapse back together in a Big Crunch‚ but rather it expands indefinitely‚ and all matter decays‚ until‚ mathematically‚ the difference between the empty expanded universe and a Big Bang singularity is just a question of scale – and when there is no matter (as at the end of the universe and at the beginning)‚ scale is irrelevant. An expanded empty universe can become the next singularity‚ restarting the cycle. Importantly‚ CCC would leave behind evidence of the previous cycle (what Penrose calls an Aeon) in the new Aeon. In other words‚ it could create structures the size of the Big Ring and the Giant Arc. These are captivating theories. However‚ so far‚ no alternative model of the universe‚ even CCC‚ has been able to supplant the Standard Model of Cosmology for its sheer explanatory power to describe what we observe in the universe around us. But the Standard Model does have a growing number of cracks and gaps‚ hinting that it might one day be improved or supplanted. The Giant Arc and the Big Ring together represent one such crack‚ a place where what we know about the physics of the universe fails to explain what we observe. It is‚ at the least‚ a reason to keep looking. Learn More: “A Big Cosmological Mystery‚” University of Central Lancashire. Watch the Press Conference. AAS 243‚ Janurary 10 2024.

The human body is an amazing organism‚ to say the least.To watch an athlete dunk a basketball or a ballerina turn a pirouette is to witness an extraordinary machine at work. But the human body is also a biological junkyard of useless ideas it has yet to ditch as we evolve.If humans have a creator‚ it has a sense of humor‚ because why else would it clutter the human body with organs that have no use? Why is the occasional baby born with a tail? These useless body parts are known as vestigial organs.The video below goes over just a few of the vestigial organs we can locate on our bodies if we know where to look.Ten to 15 percent of people can see a tendon in their wrists that connects to the palmaris longus muscle. Although it serves no purpose for humans‚ it's essential for primates that live in the treetops and swing from limb to limb.Humans also have three muscles around their ears that allow some people to make them wiggle. When fully formed in other mammals‚ the muscles work to rotate the ears in order to pinpoint the source of sounds.Although these body parts are worthless in a practical sense‚ they serve as a reminder of our vast evolutionary history and reveal our deep connections to other beings on the planet. That knowledge is far from useless.This article originally appeared on 10.27.17
