The New Treasure Hunt wrong choice

Monday, December 28th, 2009

A recent episode of the US show Deal or No Deal reminded me of this moment from 30 years ago on “The New Treasure Hunt”. The rules were a contestant would select one of 30 boxes and won what was in it with the top prize a whopping $25000, big by 1976 standards. That is unless she decided to deal for some money before the box was opened. This is one of only 2 times in the shows 4 year run that the outcome was as you see.

Ghost Hunting – Televised Events

Wednesday, December 23rd, 2009
Hazel Ford asked:

What I think we need to understand is that televised ghost hunts are edited to the point where they give the impression that there is continuous activity.  This is very understandable when you consider that they only have an hour to demonstrate 2 days worth of ghost hunting time.  This is obviously edited and therefore the paranormal activity seems relentless.  As a ghost hunter myself I can sometimes feel very envious of how televised events present themselves to the eager observers.  I wish that on an untelevised event we could get that much activity.  However, this is not the case.  On many ghost hunt events it could be a long arduous night with very much happening at all and when it does there is no repetition or replay of the moment.  We have to be alert and eagle eyed throughout the event.  The best thing about having a lot of people there is that there are more people to hear and see activity.  The downside is obviously that there are also a lot of people who can make noise which can be misinterpreted.

All ghost hunts are fascinating.  Every location is unique as is every ghost hunt event.  The people attending the event all bring something different in terms of energy and belief about what they are doing.  I wonder how interesting it would be for a public ghost hunt to be televised and how controls could be enforced in order to make it entertaining.  It would of course be quite an active event as the timeframe would be filled with the movement of the public and re-settling into various locations.  However, I could see how this could work.  It would be a bit like the public who watch the televised versions of a ghost hunt physically going into the Television to be part of the televised event.  No longer being an observer but a participator.

Sniper Ghillie Suit

Sunday, December 20th, 2009
Chris Adams asked:

Throughout the years, Snipers have been a vital part of military campaigns by eliminating commanding officers to cripple large numbers of forces. An effective sniper will eliminate an entire unit of men without them ever having a chance to see where they are being attacked from. A sniper does this by being extremely patient and calculating his moves with every possible consequence in mind.

The second most important piece of equipment after a Sniper’s rifle is his Ghille suit. Many Snipers take great pride in creating their own suits to use on Sniper missions and to play Paintball. Ghillie suits are developed to resemble a patch of deep vegetation or foliage, the suit was developed by games keepers as a sort of portable hunting blind. These Snipers takes hour of hard work fabricating and seasoning their Ghillie suits properly, and the most dedicated Sniper will take pieces of the surrounding vegetation and incorporate them into his Ghillie suit as he moves along on his stalk, as to consistently mimic his changing surroundings.

If you are wanting to Snipe but don’t have the time to make a Ghillie suit, be sure to choose a genuine Sniper Suit to provide the most comfort and longevity. Snipers spend most of their time laying or crawling on the ground so the front of the jacket and pants are left bare of Ghillie suit material. In a normal Sniper Ghillie suit, the sewn on Jute thread covers the entire Back of the jacket, tops of the arms, and shoulders. The Hood is attached, and thumb loops are sewn into the cuff of the sleeves for crawling. The Hood is built by hand tying the Jute thread to a 1″x1″ netting, which is then sewn into the Jacket. This general design keeps you cooler, allowing the wind to pass through and allows for better hearing. Normally on a Sniper Ghillie suit, there will be velcro instead of buttons on the chest, making your crawl more comfortable without feeling the buttons. The most extreme Snipers will carry Ghost Human Scent Neutraliser, designed to kill human odor at the molecular level on hunter’s clothing. Human scent is the most feared odor known to deer.

The ghillie rifle wrap is an essential piece of equipment that completes a Ghillie suit coverage objectives. It does the job in breaking up your rifle’s shape and concealing any shiny metallic parts that may otherwise show, which is vital in Sniper stalks. Snipers will typically combine a Ghillie Veil with their Ghillie suit. These are normally made up of leaves and other foliage which is all hand tied on.

The distinctive advantage of using a Ghillie suit when hunting is the ability to diffuse your profile. This is especially so when you are backlit, when stalking your prey forces you to skyline yourself or cross a variety of cover types, or in limited cover terrain. The benefits a hunting Ghillie suit provides has made it the Snipers choice for decades.
