Urban Survival – Do You have the 3 Things You Will Always Need? WTSHTF maybe you are prepared for an extended survival scenario away from civilization, but you have to get out of the city first (maybe). In a disaster situation that might not be so easy. If you have these three things in place you will greatly increase your chances. 1. Imagine for a minute that you work downtown in a large city, maybe you ride the subway or take a bus to work everyday. But I have my Bug out Bag you say! Oh really, where is it? Even if you could get to your Bug Out Bag, how much good would it do you in this environment? A Get Home Bag contains an entirely different set of tools and serves one purpose: To get you from wherever you are to your Home. How to Choose an Urban Survival Bag Your GBH should contain things that are going to get you out of the building like a prybar. Clearly a GHB is not a Bug Out Bag.

At Home At Wilderness When you're out collecting firewood, foraging for wild edibles, or plowing your fields, you can never be sure that you won't suddenly be faced with a situation in which your survival depends upon your ability to make a shelter, find food and water, and build a fire. In fact, even if you're 'safely" ensconced in the security of a cabin, a farmhouse, or a city apartment, any number of natural or man-made disasters can force you to keep yourself alive by using only what is available in nature. However, any person who knows how to provide his or her necessities, without having to depend on manufactured commodities, can endure even if a calamity severs all ties with the rest of society. And wilderness living abilities are particularly important assets for the alternative lifestylist, camper, sportsperson, or other nature enthusiast who enjoys spending time away from the trappings of civilization. But good survival skills include more than the ability to live through a disaster. The Leaf Hut
The Best and Most Expensive / Profitable Vegetables to Grow | Grow Vegetables at Home Asparagus Growing vegetables for profit can be a very rewarding experience, especially if you grow them organically. Today there is a huge demand for organically grown vegetables, and as the most expensive crops on the market it is well worth the extra effort it takes to avoid spraying with pesticides and taking the time to weed by hand rather than using weedkillers. There are plenty of natural ways to reduce the effort of weeding, such as mulching, (using a thick layer of organic substances such as seaweed or grass clippings to not only keep the weeds down, but also to feed the growing plants). This article is written in order to give you a good basis for the choice of vegetables to grow if you plan to sell them on so that they bring you in an income or if you merely want to save yourselves money by growing the expensive crops in order to avoid paying shop prices for them. In my experience the best crops for maximising your vegetable growing profits are as follows: Courgettes / Zucchini

8 Common Mistakes of Wilderness Survival 1. No Shelter This is a two fold mistake that will cost you your life in a Wilderness Survival Situation. The first fold of this mistake is not having a proper shelter with you, the second fold is not having the knowledge to build a shelter from nature’s tools which are all around you. 2.
