Doomsday Preppers

What's up citizen soldiers. I just saw this show on the national geographic and I thought that it would be really effective if we all looked at it. So please pass it on. What I like most about survival and doomsday shows is that they help us reflect on our own preparedness level and survival ability (How much we need to improve). And this show was no exception. It selected a couple of individuals and showed how they are preparing for the collapse of society. It is shows like these that make us reflect on our own preparedness for End Of Days. I hope this will pull us back into reality and force us to get back to preparing for all situations.

Soda Bottles

For those of you who drink a lot of soda (2 liters), don't throw out the bottles!  When my mom told me to start saving soda bottles, I looked at her like she was nuts!  She instructed me to rinse out the bottles thoroughly, fill them to the top with tap water, put plastic on top and then screw the lid back on.  I reluctantly started to do what she suggested, and soon discovered that: #1 I drink a lot of soda, and #2 I'm starting to get quite a collection of water!  Now this water you can drink, but I'm not really saving it for that.  I'm planning on using it to rinse pots or pans, and for hygiene needs in an emergency.  Check out this article HERE to find out the low down on storing water in used bottles.  Here is a picture of some of mine that I've done!

Survival Bracelet

What's up my fellow citizen soldiers. Paracord is an indispensable tool to have on hand at all times. This video shows us how to make a bracelet using 6 to 8 feet of paracord. I tried it and it works great.

Bypass Congress?

Isn't it scary that people "in charge" think they can just make decisions without talking to anyone.  I saw this youtube video with the President saying that he wants to basically bypass the Congress?  This is CRAZY!  Having a checks and balance system is what keeps this country running, and keeping us safe from a one man show.  If we are only going to be having one person call the shots, then we might as well have a king, and correct me if I'm wrong...this country REJECTED that idea over 200 years ago!  What is this country coming too?  What do we need to do as a nation and individuals to change things?  This is INSANE!

World Wide Banking Meltdown

This video shows the IMF advisor, Dr. Robert Shapiro, stating that he sees a definite possibility that the banking system in the world will have a complete meltdown within the next few weeks if things aren't done.  The more I hear about what is happening around the world, the more I realize that this could really happen.  If the banking systems go down in Europe, it will come here too!   The money that goes around the world is so interconnected that it will effect everyone.  We need to prepare people!  Let this be a warning to everyone...

Finding Water

Finding water in the wilderness can be a matter of life or death. Even though you might think that you will never be in a situation where you will need to find water, it is important to always be prepared.  I found this website that goes over all aspects of finding water. Check it out. Click HERE

Why Food Storage?

I was thinking about food storage lately, and I wondered what other people were doing.  I came across this video with a man telling us about what he's done in regards to food storage.  I really liked it because he talked about how and why he's started storing food.  I like his setup, and how he mentions random things that people don't necessarily think about.  He even talks about bartering!  Check it out, and start thinking about what you can do!

Sling Shots in Action

Since posting earlier this week about sling shots, I admit it...I've become fanatical.  I've looked up everything I could find on sling shots.  There are SO MANY different kinds out there.  I recommend buying something relatively inexpensive and practicing with them to see if it's going to be your "thing" or not.  Then if you're serious about it, look into the more expensive ones.  I found this site http://www.chiefaj.com/national_slingshot_assocation.htm that is AMAZING!  It is Chief AJ showing off some SWEET sling shots that have been specifically modified for hunting and fishing.  Now, it is kind of expensive, but may just be right up your ally.  I also found this great video of Chris Stanley hunting a pig with a sling shot.  Great video!  Also, it's so interesting that after looking up Chief AJ, you find out that Chris Stanley used one of the Chief's sling shots to take down this pig.  Take a look, and let us know what you think!

Sling Shots

Hi Everyone!  I came across these two videos about sling shots.  The first one talks about the right way of shooting and aiming with a sling shot.  The second video is about turning a regular sling shot into one that you can use to hunt big game.  I am so excited about these videos.  I had never even thought about using a sling shot to hunt small game let alone big game!  I don't know about you, but after watching these videos I'm going to get a sling shot and start practicing!
