The Poor Man’s Guide To Survival Gear Special Note: Obviously, an entire book could be written on this subject, which is a task beyond the scope of this article. The purpose of the following piece is to give those with financial difficulty a foothold on prepping without added pain. It is meant to be a starting point, not a compendium. A friend of mine took note recently that a large portion of activists involved in the Liberty Movement had hit extremely hard times, or had been struggling financially even before the general economic collapse began to take hold. He asked me my theory on why it was that so many of us are always so broke. While I consider this fact a source of solace in these extraordinarily hard times, it still does little to put food on the table, or survival gear in the bug-out-bag. The overall consensus within the prepper community is that survival planning is expensive, and yes, it certainly can be. Backpack (Bug Out Bag) Camouflage Clothing Finally, buy wool socks. Combat Boots Camp Heater Survival Knife Yes.
Words from a Bosnian Survivalist | MicroBalrog Words from a Bosnian survivalist Translator’s note: This tale had originally been recorded in french and then translated by two Russian survivalists who met the man. I have read it at hyperprapor’s blog. The Bosnian is anonymous for reasons which will soon be made clear from reading the articles. ~~ MicroBalrog I am from Bosnia. Our city was blockaded by the army and for 1 year life in the city turned into total crap. When it all started some of us were better prepared, but most of the neighbors families had enough food only for a few days. ) or shotguns. After a month or two gangs started operating, destroying everything. The Americans dropped MREs every 10 days, to help blockaded cities. Money soon became worthless. Arms, ammunition, candles, lighters, antibiotics, gasoline, batteries and food. Strength was in numbers. Today me and my family are well-prepared, I am well-armed. Here’s my experience: you can’t make it on your own. 1. The city was divided into communities along streets.
Alphabet Topografía Created by Yale-graduates Caspar Lam and YuJune Park of Synoptic Office, Alphabet Topography is a physical examination of letterforms as it relates to usage frequency. Vowels and consonants like “R” and “T” were given more vertical prominence while lesser-used letters like “W” and “G” hardly make a blip. Of the creation process YuJune tells me: I modelled the letters individually in Rhino and exported sections of each letter to AutoCad and based this alphabet on word frequency as defined by the University of Cambridge Computer Laboratory, which interestingly enough, is almost identical to word frequency as defined by old linotype machines. I wanted a total variable of 6″ from the most often used to least often used letter, which gave each letter a height difference of .23 inches. I’ve always been an incredible sucker for physical typography and this project is no exception.
Be Better Prepared (Before It's News) Everyone wants to be better prepared. Today we will share 12 brilliant and slightly badass ways to do it. Once you determine why you are prepping, you will have a better understanding of what you have to do. What is required for life after the disaster? 1. The military trains their soldiers to be mentaly tough. 2. You will have to defend what is yours. A good feeling is realizing you had a firearm and did not need to use it. Macgyver it 3. Everyone has seen the old TV show Macgyver and if you haven’t, it’s about a guy who could make amazing things out of everyday household items. Inventory your location and you will realize much of what you need is already there aside from the stockpiles of food and water and certain other items. Duct tape, the uses are endless. A crowbar is a multi-tool. Use your imagination when prepping such as cutting a gallon water jug in half. 4. You cannot rely on anyone else especially the local, state and federal government. 5. 6. 7. 8.
Leo Galland, M.D.: Can Supplements Reduce Damage From Radiation? The fallout from radioactive steam released by damaged nuclear reactors in Japan has raised concerns about radiation exposure in Asia, the Pacific and North America. The disaster at Chernobyl in the Ukraine in 1986 provides an alarming example of how radiation can spread over long distances and in unsuspected ways. Risk of Radiation Entering the Food Supply For people outside of Japan, the most likely risk comes from ingestion of foods contaminated with radioactive isotopes of minerals like iodine, strontium and cesium. Scientists note: "millions of people were exposed to radioactive isotopes in the fallout from the Chernobyl accident, within the first 20 years there was a large increase in thyroid carcinoma incidence and a possible radiation-related increase in breast cancer..." [1] Following Chernobyl studies found an increase in the incidence of thyroid cancer and childhood leukemia that extended as far as Scotland and Wales in the United Kingdom. [2,3] Now I'd like to hear from you...

Peter: Caballo mecedora The Myth of Self Reliance A mass emailing went out a while back from a prominent permaculturist looking for “projects where people are fully self sufficient in providing for their own food, clothing, shelter, energy and community needs. . .” There it was, the myth of “fully self sufficient,” coming from one of the best-known permaculturists in the world. In most US permaculture circles, the idea that anyone could be self sufficient at anything past a very primitive level was abandoned a while ago, and the softer term “self reliant” replaced it. I took a Googling cruise around the internet and found that “self sufficient” shows up as a desirable goal on several top permaculture websites. I hear people say they are growing 30%, 50%, even 70% of their own food. But even if you grow all your own food, can you claim you are self sufficient if you don’t grow all your own seeds? Let’s take a quick pass at clothing, shelter and energy. If you love being a farmer, then yes, grow all your own food.
The Man Who Lives Without Money Irishman Mark Boyle tried to live life with no income, no bank balance and no spending. Here's how he finds it. If someone told me seven years ago, in my final year of a business and economics degree, that I'd now be living without money, I'd have probably choked on my microwaved ready meal. The plan back then was to get a ‘good' job, make as much money as possible, and buy the stuff that would show society I was successful. For a while I did it – I had a fantastic job managing a big organic food company; had myself a yacht on the harbour. If it hadn't been for the chance purchase of a video called Gandhi, I'd still be doing it today. The change in life path came one evening on the yacht whilst philosophising with a friend over a glass of merlot. We began talking about all major issues in the world – environmental destruction, resource wars, factory farms, sweatshop labour – and wondering which of these we would be best devoting our time to. But that evening I had a realisation. Related:
4 Best Methods for Off-the-Grid Food Production Activist Post For most of us producing all of our own food is just a fantasy. It evokes visions of multiple acres of fertile land, long work days, and expensive machinery. However, none of these are necessary to achieve self-sufficient food production. There are many gardening techniques that can produce an abundance of food for you and your family without requiring a lot of space, money or equipment. Rather, you will need time to study and practice these methods and other food preparation skills such as learning to mill your own wheat or corn flour to make breads, tortillas, pastas from scratch, or learning to can, pickle, or preserve food in all its forms. Your diet should also be considered when planning for the best self-sufficient food production method. With dedication and proper planning, everyone has the ability to survive the looming food crisis by producing their own food. Here are the 4 best food production methods for self-reliance: 1. 2. 3. 4. , CFLs , or HPSs
Survival Friday: 50 Excuses For Not Prepping As smug as we may feel about our own prepping efforts, sometimes there is still a tendency to procrastinate a bit with one thing or another. I am not pointing any fingers, mind you, since I too fall victim of being overwhelmed by it all. The disorganized array of my food storage is just one case in point. I still don’t have a good inventory so what do I do? I just buy more. Stupid, I know. Still, for the most part, I keep plugging away, knowing that the economy is in shambles in spite of what our leaders say. Things, to me, are unsettling yet most people I know still see no need to start prepping at all. That brings me to the topic of today’s article: “50 Excuses for Not Prepping”. A while back, Michael Snyder came up with this list of excuses that people use when they say there is no need to prepare. 1. I know that is foolish and so do you. What can you do? Enjoy your next adventure through common sense and thoughtful preparation! Gaye Spotlight Item: The Beginning Of The End
