Survivors see opportunity, even good, in their situation, however grim. In the initial crisis, survivors are not ruled by fear; instead, they make use of it. Survivors also manage pain well. Yes you might die. Now, What is the reason for this?

37 things you should hoard – or is it 55? Randomly checking emails today I came across a link that stated there were 37 thing I should hoard in case of emergency. We may have one or two snow storms this season so I clicked the link. Sadly, there was nothing there. Apparently the author did not think the domain was worth hoarding… I did a google search and found that the 37 things I wanted to look at was not a list, but a book. It had honestly never occurred to me to stock up on cat food… (maybe in part because I buy his food by tens of pounds) They had some good points with the list though. So, in lieu of politics at this time (I have numerous posts that I keep meaning to write and somehow hours slip away from me) and since it’s almost snowy season time – check out some lists of things you should hoard: Check out the particulars of this list here – as the lists are long and include some of their own shopping links.

Hochbunker Pallasstraße Hochbunker mit Pallasseum, Blick vom Kleistpark Der Hochbunker Pallasstraße, auch als Sportpalast-Bunker bezeichnet, ist ein vierstöckiger Hochbunker in der Pallasstraße in Berlin-Schöneberg, dessen Rohbau im Zweiten Weltkrieg fertiggestellt wurde.

Fight Food Fatigue: 20 Oft-Forgotten Items in Your Long Term Food Storage One of the major mistakes people make with regards to food storage is buying a huge amount of one or two staples (ie rice and beans or wheat and powdered milk) and nothing else. While there’s no problem with storing thousands of pounds of wheat, if that’s all you have you are going to suffer from a serious case of appetite fatigue in a short time. Appetite or food fatigue in simple term can be described as a phenomenon whereby eating the same foods over and over cause you to become disinterested in eating. In the best of cases it will cause minor malnutrition but in severe cases it can lead to starvation – despite being hungry. Though this may sound ridiculous it is a very real phenomenon, especially during times of stress (something that a SHTF situation would probably promote), and young children and older people are particularly susceptible to it. Like a mantra I’m sure you’ve heard the advice, “store what you eat, and eat what you store”.
