- StumbleUpon Wednesday, Apr 20, 2011 So you stock up on a year’s supply of medications. What then? Herbs You Can Find Growing Wild: Plantain can be found virtually anywhere in the United States and every continent except Antarctica. For identification, go here. Elderberry can be found throughout North America. Berries: Diaphoretic, immune-building, laxative, anti-rheumatic. For identification, go here. Honeysuckle If you can’t find Elderberry near you, or the birds get to the berries before you can, Honeysuckle can work quite nicely as a substitute. Mullein Is another of my favorites. How to use it: Poultice from the leaves. Preserve the leaves by allowing to dry. For identification, go here. Red Clover is absolutely powerful. For identification, go here. Blackberry Is known to prevent fluid loss during dysentery. Herbs You Should Grow at Home: Not that you shouldn’t be trying to grow any of the others. Lobelia is probably the most vital plant that you should be growing. Preserve through drying.
Comprehensive Survival Food List & Storage Guide Rady AnandaActivist Post Survival food storage practice doesn’t require Mormon membership, but the tradition, wrought from their first Utah winter, is worth emulating should disaster strike or technology fail, two survival books by Mat Stein.

Up to 5 years: Processed (partially hydrogenated) liquid vegetable oils, Crisco shortening, cornmeal and corn flour, and nonfat powdered milk. Up to 30 years: beans, dried apples, macaroni, potato flakes and oats. MREs Dehydrated Food

Guest Post: SHTF Survival: First Response Packs for Medical Emergencies When there is a medical emergency, time is of the essence. Typically, medical rescue workers who respond to accidents work swiftly by having their supplies organized and at times, pre-assembled (wound care, trauma packs) to treat patients more efficiently. Having these items pre-packaged cuts down on response time, and gives the responders more of an advantage in properly caring for the wounded. That efficiency can easily be replicated for your medical supplies or added to your SHTF sick room. Medical first response packs can be made ahead of time using most of the medical products that you have on hand. Knowledge is Power Not all of us have a background in medicine. Keep It Organized Many preppers use gallon sized zip-loc bags or their vacuum sealers to seal up the necessary items for future use. Advanced Wound Care Supplies It is important to emphasize that proper medical tools and advanced wound care supplies are a good investment for a long-term emergency. Response packs for hikers
6 Tools to Survive Anything Some tools are so versatile you can’t even begin to list all of the things they are useful for. In fact, 9 times out of 10, you won’t even know what you’ll need them for until it happens. Here are the 6 tools every self respecting prepper should have in large quantities and always available. 1. Duct Tape The fame of duct tape has taken on a life of it’s own. 2. From handcuffs to lashings and a thousand other ways to tie stuff together, you should have a stockpile of zip ties in every shape and size. “If it moves and it shouldn’t; use Duct Tape. 4. For those larger jobs that zip ties and duct tape just aren’t going to handle good rope is endlessly useful. 5. A knife is the bread and butter (pun intended) of every survival tool kit. 6. or Utility Bar. What Else? What other tools are so useful?

Building the Ultimate Survival Kit Every time a disaster strikes, you see pictures of people walking down the road. Usually they are thirsty and hungry. Often they are cold, wet, injured, and sick. Before a disaster struck close to home, every one of these people thought that disasters were something that happened to other people in other places. When the scope of a disaster is huge, most of the doctors, nurses, firemen, and policemen are either injured themselves, busy caring for family members, or evacuated from the area, and those civil servants that remain will be seriously overworked and under-supplied. In times like these, the majority of survivors are left to fend for themselves for several days, and sometimes for weeks or months. We will start out with more basic items that every family should have on hand, followed by several highly recommended optional items, ending with a few additional items that will be extremely helpful in the event of a long term catastrophe or collapse-type scenario.

How to Make Homemade Deodorant If we are ever faced with a TEOTWAWKI type situation, given that most people are far from prepared with hygienic items like deodorant — let alone food — the world is going to literally become a stinky place (you ever been in a packed bus in a third-world country? Not fun I tell ya, not fun). Well, by storing a few extra items as part of your preps you’ll become the go-to guy (or gal) for those looking to manage their underarm issues. Heck, I’m sure you’ll even get some sweet barter deals out of it, “Hey man, how bout we trade my ammo for your homemade deodorant? My wife won’t let me back in the house unless I fix this problem”. How to Make Homemade Deodorant What you’ll need 6-8 Tbsp Coconut Oil (solid state)1/4 Cup Baking Soda1/4 Cup Corn Starch Step-By-Step: Making your Homemade Deodorant Putting Your Homemade Deodorant to Use Since coconut oil begins to melt above 75°F, if you live in a warmer climate (or it’s Summer), it’s best to store it in a cooler area (like your fridge).
