Bugging Out- For Real

I think we are all trying to prepare for every scenario. For most of us, we are really busy and trying very hard in our free time to train with the equipment we have. We should ask ourselves? Could we really survive for a couple of weeks if we had to only use what is in our bug out bags?  These three videos are excellent. They show exactly (trapping and hunting) what you need to survive in a bug out situation. I thought it was thorough and very helpful. Let me know what you think.

Security During a Crisis

I hope all is well citizen soldiers. I came across these videos from an excellent youtube channel. I highly recommend to subscribe to it. It is called southernprepper1. He put this 3 part video together going over security during a crisis. I think this is one factor that can be overlooked. We talk about being prepared as far as food, shelter and water goes but not security. Storing food and water means nothing if you cannot protect it.  Check these videos out and make sure you are crossing your Ts and dotting you I's.

Storing Gas

We talk a lot about food storage but little has been said regarding fuel storage, specifically gasoline.  The following video talks about the correct way to store gas.  It is vital that we have enough fuel on hand in the event that the price or the availability of it is no longer feasible.  Again, this is something to think about as we prepare for what is to come.

Italy's Economy Turning Upside Down

Hello my friends, as we look around the world we see that things are getting worse by the minute.  I keep holding my breath wishing and hoping that this need that I feel to be prepared will dissipate, and that I can just keep living my normal life.  For two years now I feel as if I've been living a double life.  One being in the regular world, doing everyday things, and the other preparing for a time when this life as we know it is gone.  Sadly, when you look at the news thats happening in Europe you realize that living a "normal" life really isn't going to be an option that much longer.  I read this article (Click HERE) today about Italy's economy, and I just don't see how they can come back from this.  The EU has bailed out so many other countries, how can they afford to bail out another one?  Things are getting ready to implode and we MUST be ready for that!  THINK about what is going on in the world, PREPARE for how you and your family will survive it, and be ready to ACT!  Those are the best words of advice I can give you.  Remember to not be afraid, and know that you aren't alone!

Long Term Food Storage

We know that we are headed towards a period of time where our food storage will no longer be stored.  The unfortunate problem is we can not predict an exact date or time.  Thus, we must be able to store our food over a substantial amount of time while preserving its nutritional value.  These series of videos teach us how this can be done.

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!
