It is not a thing. This is crack-pottery at an insane level. From the intro: "We expect about 90 degree shift of the crust as planet-X passes earth's orbit on its way through our solar system. " As other comments mentions magnetic pole shift though, that is a thing and happens every so often, about every 0.1 to 1 million years, see e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geomagnetic_reversal
From the site: > When will the Pole Shift occur? > Best we can tell it will occur between May 20 and Jun 12 in 2012. See the source Zetatalk clues, and Crop Circle clues that give this final result. Oops!
Doomsday cults missing their deadlines never seem to suffer much harm.

#56An uncle gave me an early 90's version of this manual as a gift when I was in my teens. This manual, along with "The American Boy's Handy Book" resulted in days and days of outdoor activity and a plethora of failed boats/rafts/cabins/snares/spearfishing/etc... There are some awesome instructions in here and the print copy I have has an entire color photo plant identification guide in the back. My only word of warning…
In what circumstance would you want to poison an entire stream of fish? Would the fish be edible after being poisoned? Or is this for another purpose?
It's a way to catch a good amount of fish, quickly, without any specialized gear(nets, etc..). It also doesn't require you to sit there, in the open with a fishing pole. Drop the poison, hide. Run back and collect.
They're very edible after being poisoned. The amount of "poison" it takes to kill(really stun) a fish isn't much. No where near the amount needed to harm a human.

Yep, and I believe they mention a plant or plants that only affect cold-blooded animals so the fish is safe for consumption.

Since we're on a roll, here's a CIA manual on tradecraft https://www.cia.gov/library/center-for-the-study-of-intellig...
Found this one interesting:
2003 Iraq’s WMD Programs + Saddam failed to cooperate with UN inspectors because he was continuing to develop weapons of mass destruction. - If Iraqi authorities had destroyed their WMD stocks and abandoned their programs, they might refuse to fully acknowledge this to the UN to maintain Iraq’s regional status, deterrence, and internal regime stability.
I wonder whether the internal decision making at the CIA before the 2003 war was really as simple as that.

#59It's a great book. I keep a copy in my scram-bag, as it's the kind of knowledge that could be the difference between life and death, one day.

So you can read the "how not to be eaten by bears" section while being eaten by a bear?
If you're going to rely on stuff like that, its best to commit to knowledge and practice.
