Vanishing Point: How to disappear in America without a trace Where there's water, life is possible. True, it may be very difficult and very hard to live, depending, but anyone who's driven, hiked, or camped in the American South West will have noticed that cities and ranches crop up where there's surface water or where there's been a well dug. Within the state of California, Nevada, Arizona, Utah, New Mexico, and Colorado, there are deserts, mesas, mountains, and forests where normally people never or rarely visit; not-so-secret places where there's water, access to a road within a day's hike, and where a fairly rugged individual may hide while remaining basically healthy, marginally well fed, and reasonably sane. In this section I'll look at two such environments, neither of which I would recommend, but one of which I'd suggest is a reasonable way to live in basic health while either on the run, hiding out from the law, old girl friends, the draft for an illegal war, putative wives and such. Where exactly? How I Would Do It Some Other Areas
What to Put in a Doomsday (or Disaster) Survival Kit While 2012 is an excuse, there's nothing wrong with being prepared. Just look at Katrina, and the devastation it wrought. My personal wake up call was in 1999 when our city got hit with an October heavy wet snow that basically rendered the entire city without power, sub freezing temps, and obviously no grocery stores open. Everything was liveable after about 72 hours when power was somewhat restored to areas, but our house was without heat for a week. If we had not have had a wood stove and a source of fire, we likely would have been in very bad shape. So now, in my pocket, I always carry: -A source of light (4Sevens Quark currently, or a Surefire E1e) -A blade (currently a Leatherman Squirt P4 and Skeletool) -A source of fire (Needs replaced - but a generic magnesium starter) With those three items, you might survive. -72 hours worth of (very) basic food (instant rice and packaged tun) -32oz of Water in a re-usable bottle -Another cup -5 mylar blankets -Zip ties -Paracord -Tinder
Survival Library | Survival Library The LifeStraw makes dirty water clean More than one billion people – one sixth of the world’s population - are without access to safe water supply. At any given moment, about half of the world's poor are suffering from waterborne diseases, of which over 6,000 – mainly children – die each day by consuming unsafe drinking water. The world’s most prolific killer though is diarrhoeal disease from bacteria like typhoid, cholera, e. coli, salmonella and many others. Safe water interventions have vast potential to transform the lives of millions, especially in crucial areas such as poverty eradication, environmental upgradation, quality of life, child development and gender equality. View all The aptly-named LifeStraw is an invention that could become one of the greatest life-savers in history. Millions of people perish every year because they simply don’t have clean water to drink. We’ll have more information on LifeStraw in the next week . The LifeStraw web site is now open. In the meantime, LifeStraw supplied this list of FAQs
Introduction to the Project I spent nearly five years, from mid-1996 to the beginning of 2001, homeless, or as I liked to call it with a distributed household. I had storage, shelter, mailbox, telephone, shower, bathroom facilities, cooking equipment, and transportation, even access to television, radio, computer equipment, and ac power. I had the essence of a home. I'm not the first to do what I did, to live homeless well. There are laws against sleeping in public, in your car, on the beach, anywhere in the public view. I've been thinking about writing this book, a guide to living well, for years.

Fight Smart Fight Smart! Ancient Chinese Strategies Can Bring Victory In The Sparring Ring. By Stefan Verstappen Originally published in Black Belt Magazine Jan 2000 When martial artists train in sparring the emphasis is usually on how to become stronger and faster than your opponent but there are two drawbacks to relying on this type of training. First, as we have all been told, there will always be someone else stronger and faster. To improve one's chances of success in any form of combat one would need some advantage other than force alone. The following three strategies come from The Thirty-Six Strategies. Create Something From Nothing Use the same feint twice. This is one of the first strategies fighters learn as they gain experience since it is easy to execute and often quite effective. The typical combo is front snap kick aimed mid-level, followed by a jab and reverse punch. Lure the Tiger Down the Mountain Never directly attack a well entrenched opponent.
