(I’m not sure why this picture is so damn big.)

Who is Ranger Jake?

Well, I’m not a Ranger, nor a Jake. I’m just a guy who has many sides and many (sometimes contradictory) interests. One of these sides likes to explore the outdoors, shooting, martial arts, survival skills, emergency medicine, etc. When this side creeps into my “L.A./life is always beautiful/nothing can go wrong” (even though we live in Earthquake, mudslide, tsunami, riot, Zombie country) … my friends call me out for acting like “Ranger Jake”. (Bastards)

** Unless explicitly stated, Ranger Jake (R.J.) does not promote any product or service mentioned. He isn’t paid a commission or an affiliate fee. He also doesn’t have ownership in any of the companies. He is simply passing along info that he’s come across that he found interesting, awesome, ridiculous, or completely offensive. He leaves it to the reader to decide which is which.

When possible (and time permitting), Ranger Jake takes the extra step(s) to sort through website to get the important points. He can’t stand spending time looking for prices that should be no more than 2 clicks away. (Click count is very important to Ranger Jake, though that may be Anal Jake or OCD Jake coming out.) For this reason, he will sometimes make calls and emails to gather the missing content so you “kind reader” don’t have to. That said, he really appreciates being shown up by friends and family … the only people who will likely read this blog, so please do not hesitate to point out errors or add to the conversation.

In spite of me spending the past 2 paragraphs chatting in the third person, I’m really here to learn, pass along information, and have a little fun. If you find something interesting you would like me to look up, know someone who would be a good interview, or have a product for me to review, let me know, (Ranger Jake loves free products) or if you have something to add, please chime in. But be warned … if you say something stupid, I will give you shit … and I expect you to do the same.

Welcome to the family!

Where to go in your neighborhood when Zombies attack . . .:

www.mapofthedead.com is a clever little site by Doejo that shows some important places to go (and to avoid) when they (Zombies) come for us. Just type your address into this Google Maps based site to get a survival perspective of your city.

**R.J. recommends printing and keeping copies of your “Map of the Dead” neighborhood in all emergency and medical kits in case they are able to compromise communications systems.

According the site, the Bed Bunker Safe is a California Department of Justice approved gun safe that takes the place of a box spring. Just shove your mattress out of the way, unlock the Israeli made Mul-t-lock, and lift the 140 lb. gas spring assisted door(s) to access up to 35 rifles (70 handguns). The Bed Bunker Safe comes in a range of sizes from twin (670 lbs. - $2200) to California king (1500 lbs. - $4200).

Extra info:

Works with most standard bedframes.
2hr fire rated.
Interactive electric locks are available on request.
