Skills for TEOTWAWKI, long term survival

add good amount of yeast to your food stock. Bread beer wine will be things you want later. As far as your books start practicing what you read untill it becomes natural for you to do.

I have 2 vials of yeast in my fridge right now. I'm going to research how to grow it myself tomorrow, too tired right now to be able to remember anything I learn today.

keep using the yeast you have( if their in vials i assume its for beer/wine?)...that's how it works for beer...after the "primary" ferment the sludge remaining on the bottom is good for the next batch...works for yogurt too, save the last couple bites for your next culture.
I've never made wine or bread?

Didn't know that about the stuff at the bottom, will have to try that. I was actually planning on just getting rid of about 4/5ths of the batch and adding more ingredients to bring it up to full volume, but doing it that way I would have to have pretty much the same recipe each time. You're way sounds better.

in your initial post, you mention butchering livestock. If you were a farmer, you would already know how to do this; so, my question is whose livestock do you plan to take? I'm really not thaT WORRIED ABOUT IT THOUGH, BECAUSE YOU MENTION DRINKING FROM STREAMS and rivers, but don't mention purification systems. you'll be gone soon.

If you actually read the OP, you would have seen it said I ordered a book on butchering livestock AND game, it has instructions for both, but I plan on using it for any game I can hunt down. As for water, I have purification systems, if you had read through the other posts you would have seen that too. Plus, for the most part, fast moving streams are safe to drink from, might get a little sick, but very rarely anything serious.

Antibiotics are very important. Here is a list of antibiotics and what bacteria they work on. I"ve heard that fish antibiotics are ok.

Giardia lives in most fast moving streams...its one thing to be a little sick when your at home with power and water, food and meds...but the diarrhea associated with that bug is a killer in survival situations....

The UN stated and it expecting a 30-40 years of looting and rioting. It's in the works. It's harder then they thought to destroy society. They will succeed for they have a plan. We on the other hand do not.
Now you make it to year 5. 10 perhaps. You don't think "the man" won't hunt down every man woman and child like a beast that lives beyond "the wall"?
This is a nightmare. It's is a nightmare that nightmares are have nightmares about it. Where did things in man go wrong? When is the faith and trust in my fellow man? I know false hope.

Yet we are the masters of our reality and can create a reality to our liking. So why dont't we?

I've drank unfiltered water from the streams near me, never gotten sick once. That said, I do plan on filtering/boiling/using bleach/etc. to purify anything I drink in a survival situation.

no power, no water(for the majority of the population) most wont make it through the summer( in the west anyway)....much less a winter...come on Canada...your winters are epic....you should know

Somewhere in the middle of this thread I posted a link to an article about using fish antibiotics. They are the same thing as wheat we get prescribed, except cheaper and no need for a prescription.

I moved out West. Travelled every road in BC, AB!! Winters are fine. I work outside in -40C. Not to bad. Create snow cave for shelter. You can survive. If a bear can do it..then a man can do it cause he got thumbs!!lol

It would be a hard life that's for sure. Once shelter and fire are built..easy money..Tee-Pee's are great in -40c. Been in one. Amazing the temp change. So everything can be done if a plan and the knowledge to implement the plan.

I live in an area where fences are not allowed so my gardens always end up as salad bars for the deer.

I was thinking of buying a hand crank wheatgrass juicer just in case grass and weeds are all that's available for freash greens in a teowawki situation. Would this work? If so, which brand should I buy? Thank you.
