AS Smokey the bear said “ONLY YOU…” What works in Alaska doesn’t work in Georgia. I prefer not to eat prepackage meals for a whole year. I like dehydrated cooked beef over Jerky. To each his or her own. Come visit after one year if you survive then we will discuss prepping and who was right or wrong.

Keep a large tactical that I never use. A Mora that handles most cutting, and a Japanese gardening knife that does most of my grunt/ dirty work, like digging.

Totally agree, you can have a GRAY house by not advertising. Better a rose hedge than a blank wall. Better ducks than a roaming dogs. Better noise sensors than motion sensors. Better a delayed grass cutting than a manicured lawn. Blend in and slightly below the norm. Do not stand out.

I found that a bike is a good prep item, SO LONG as you use frequently. Nothing is worse than relearning how to use a tool that will wear you down because you are not use to it. Even an exercise bike will get those old legs use to pedaling long distance.

(sigh) you CAN NOT help anyone when you need help yourself. That is the reason you prep. The man who comes begging is the very fool who refused to prep. They will never admit they were stupid, they claim they are victims. Victims of their own asinine actions. By surviving you can give them something that is free. Knowledge. Teach them what to forage for, how to make a fire, and responsible for themselves. There is NO FREE LUNCH. NO WORK NO EAT!

Phzzt! Let them watch, is there enough of them to walk in my foot steps as I walk away from them. I am amazed by the ignorance of people trying to hide. In a recent reality tv show (I think it was call”hunted”) Bounty hunters caught people who dropped off the grid and went back to town for TACO’s Stupid Idiotic, Be prepared to drop out of society for a long time. Your own moral compass should be your only guide. Do you have enough primitive knowledge to survive or are you still a product of modern society. Modern society makes you dependent, primitive makes you free.

I am not an authority on this but it was explained to me in the following way:
Anything with a circular thread is a screw.
As screw becomes a bolt if it has a nut on it if not its still a screw. (machine screw)
any difference in the head are only attempts to increase or spread the applied pressure to the surface. (cap screws verses flanged)
Any differences in the drive point are attempts at transfer more torque (twisting motion) to the screw. phillips vs slotted vs torx vs square vs hexhead (allen).
Thus is my complete knowledge on the subject.

At least Squids know how to swim, can marines walk on water, or airmen walk on air. (chuckle)My best to you guys and gals, no matter how you served/ serve. Still, I rather curl up with some warm females in a spider hole than any old Marine in a fox hole. Heck an old farm gal in a hay loft is a best choice for this old man.

Get real, I spent years getting to know military technology and circuits. The technology is to shield and protect electronics. The population would suffer but not the military. Still, there is the 11 to 1 rule. It take eleven support to one combat. Watch out for slave labor around military bases.

I own 17 herbal medicine book and I here to warn you. The terminology of a disease and their symptoms are not to be taken lightly. You can do more damage if you just try to do a quick fix. Herbal medicine is no ONE PILL cure. A fever is not a easy indication of infection. It could even be a indication of an allergy to the very herb you just took or gave to your family. Be prepared to take the time to research and study more than one book or source. While I can set a bone and know some Antibiotic herbs, I am only now getting into antiviral herbs, there are so many viruses out there that even modern day researchers are still discovering new ones. So learn WHAT you are looking at before you try to cure it with an herb.

I started in on prepping because I saw a knowledge gap between the average dumb smuck and traditionalist. I store knowledge and I know enough to be able to keep it running well beyond any twenty year collapse of society. Simple things like Tromp pumps and atmospheric electricity will not run a fully electric house, but they will keep a lap top running for years. There are other bit and pieces like earth ground currents and Joule thief circuits that can recharge batteries to be used in radios and flashlights. These were old known phenomena that can still be tapped for emergency use. To a collapsed world these can be seen as MAGIC.
Now lets get to the point. All of these take effort and time. Foraging, hunting, wood harvesting, gardening, livestock care, carpentry, weaving, rope making, spinning, sewing, fishing, canning, butchering, smoking meat, etc, etc. Just when do you have time to go crazy. Quit fooling around and go chop some wood.

Traditional food preserving such as salting, dehydrating and canning all store well in root cellar environments. Don’t think it take a full blown cellar to store preserved food. Larger cellars are good for seasonal crops such as cabbage, apples and squash, jugs of cider and beer store well in the approximate 45-50% degrees of root cellars. Build 2 and make one a cool spot in the summer.
