The Smith and Wesson 22A has not been out of production for all that long. Actually it was right about a year ago the Smith officially discontinued this gun.

Prepping 101: Survival Computing on 12 Volts

{ 0 comments }

I’m also going to cover a $25 low voltage/low amperage computer solution that is currently being used to build perimeter security systems, remote listening posts, and even balloon lifted radio relay antennas. This is pretty cool stuff.
