That;s why I posted this thread, ya know...

Everyone needs an emergency plan like this whether the SHTF or is just a near miss.

Thanks Rox,
good ideas in there. Hadn't thought about the index cards. We have a plan, but it's all typed out at home.

My pleasure

for later reading

They are prepping us for the coming global war....there is a need to thin the herd.


lets do our best to stop the sociopaths.

You see.

War does a few things....

It cause chaos
to distract

It thins the herd...to make way for growth.

It brings in profits and other weaker countries resources.

And keeps us in a primitive state of mind, those that are unlucky enough to make through it.

Merry Christmas...now go out and buy stuff!

11 Emergency Food Items That Can Last a Lifetime

Honey
Honey never really goes bad. In a tomb in Egypt 3,000 years ago, honey was found and was still edible. If there are temperature fluctuations and sunlight, then the consistency and color can change. Many honey harvesters say that when honey crystallizes, then it can be re-heated and used just like fresh honey. Because of honey’s low water content, microorganisms do not like the environment.
Uses: curing, baking, medicinal, wine (mead)

Salt
Although salt is prone to absorbing moisture, it’s shelf life is indefinite. This indispensable mineral will be a valuable commodity in a long term disaster and will be a essential bartering item.
Uses: curing, preservative, cooking, cleaning, medicinal, tanning hides

Sugar
Life would be so boring without sugar. Much like salt, sugar is also prone to absorbing moisture, but this problem can be eradicated by adding some rice granules into the storage container.
Uses: sweetener for beverages, breads, cakes, preservative, curing, gardening, insecticide (equal parts of sugar and baking powder will kill cockroaches).

Wheat
Wheat is a major part of the diet for over 1/3 of the world. This popular staple supplies 20% of daily calories to a majority of the world population. Besides being a high carbohydrate food, wheat contains valuable protein, minerals, and vita¬mins. Wheat protein, when balanced by other foods that supply certain amino acids such as lysine, is an efficient source of protein.
Uses: baking, making alcohol, livestock feed, leavening agent

Dried corn
Essentially, dried corn can be substituted for any recipe that calls for fresh corn. Our ancestors began drying corn because of it’s short lived season. To extend the shelf life of corn, it has to be preserved by drying it out so it can be used later in the year.
Uses: soups, cornmeal, livestock feed, hominy and grits, heating source (do a search for corn burning fireplaces).

Baking soda
This multi-purpose prep is a must have for long term storage.
Uses: teeth cleaner, household cleaner, dish cleaner, laundry detergent booster, leavening agent for baked goods, tarnish remover

Instant coffee, tea, and cocoa
Adding these to your long term storage will not only add a variety to just drinking water, but will also lift morale. Instant coffee is high vacuum freeze dried. So, as long as it is not introduced to moisture, then it will last. Storage life for all teas and cocoas can be extended by using desiccant packets or oxygen absorbing packets, and by repackaging the items with a vacuum sealing.
Uses: beverages, flavor additions to baked goods

Non-carbonated soft drinks
Although many of us prefer carbonated beverages, over time the sugars break down and the drink flavor is altered. Non-carbonated beverages stand a longer test of time. And, as long as the bottles are stored in optimum conditions, they will last. Non-carbonated beverages include: vitamin water, Gatorade, juices, bottled water.
Uses: beverages, flavor additions to baked goods

White rice
White rice is a major staple item that preppers like to put away because it’s a great source for calories, cheap and has a long shelf life. If properly stored this popular food staple can last 30 years or more.
Uses: breakfast meal, addition to soups, side dishes, alternative to wheat flour

Bouillon products
Because bouillon products contain large amounts of salt, the product is preserved. However, over time, the taste of the bouillon could be altered. If storing bouillon cubes, it would be best repackage them using a food sealer or sealed in mylar bags.
Uses: flavoring dishes

Powdered milk – in nitrogen packed cans
Powdered milk can last indefinitely, however, it is advised to prolong it’s shelf life by either repackaging it for longer term storage, or placing it in the freezer. If the powdered milk developes an odor or has turned a yellowish tint, it’s time to discard.
Uses: beverage, dessert, ingredient for certain breads, addition to soup and baked goods.

Flood Preparedness: Coping with the Rising Waters
Gaye Levy, Contributing Writer
Monday, January 23, 2012
Activist Post

When the snow in the mountains starts to melt, the rivers swell and there is flooding in the lowlands.

And while that is not a desirable situation, it is quite common and therefore – in some areas – expected. But what about the snow melt following a large storm or unseasonal torrential rains?

Floods can occur then, too, and unless you live on a hill or away from streams and lakes, you need to be prepared.

Those of us that live in the Pacific Northwest have just experienced one of the biggest snow storms since the mid-eighties. Back then, I lived in the Seattle suburb of Bellevue at an elevation of 1000 feet. This meant that while everyone else had six or seven inches of snow, I had twenty. It took over a week to thaw, and even then we had a miserable tundra on our street for days upon days.

15 Ways to Conserve Household Water
Gaye Levy, Contributing Writer
Monday, January 30, 2012
Activist Post

Today I would like to once again focus on water.

This time, however, I would like to address those little things you can do now to minimize your household water usage.

Why, you ask? It is my belief that preparedness is a lifestyle and to that end, we need to be proactive and embrace good habits now so when and if a crisis or disaster occurs, these habits will be second nature and intuitive.

So how can you save and conserve household water? We will start with the bathroom and move on from there.

Factoid: Did you know that close to 75% of all household water is used in the bathroom?

The Useful and Affordable Pocket Survival Kit

Activist Post

More than a few of my readers have asked about an efficient, affordable and extremely portable everyday carry kit, often referred to as an EDC. I have been reluctant to respond because everyone’s needs – or perceived needs – are different. But there is one thing most of us have in common and that is the need to have on our person a few essential items that will get us through a myriad of unpredictable circumstances.

With that introduction, I would like to suggest five pieces of gear that should be in every backpack, every purse and every glove box.

The list is a simple one and while the sky is the limit when it comes to gear, the entire kit can be put together with quality items for less than $55

Some of the most popular Web articles on emergency preparedness have to do with food. This is also a widely discussed topic in print and on forums. And it is no wonder. In today’s society eating is no longer just for sustenance. It is a social form, a source of family bonding and togetherness; and, for many, a hobby.

Today I would like to share ten tips for securing your food supply so that in the event of a natural disaster, a terrorist attack, or civil disobedience on a massive scale, you will be able to eat and to thrive – no matter what.
