10 Things Every Home Should Have For Short-term Survival

"10 Things Every Home Should Have For Short-term Survival" by Skip Coryell. A few weeks ago, the lights in my house flickered, came back on, then died. The temperature was 32 degrees outside, and it was getting dark fast. I live out in the boondocks and that happens a half dozen times a year.

Why, I can remember as a kid we used to love when a thunderstorm would knock out the power or when a blizzard would come and snow us in for days at a time. But in 1965 people were better prepared both physically and mentally for a loss of power. We lived in a different era. Click here

Eating Insects for Survival

"Eating Insects for Survival" By Keith McCafferty. How to tell if a bug is safe to eat and why insects (most of them) are one of the most important survival foods. The first time I floated Montana's Smith River with John Hirvela, the only food we took was a sack of potatoes and a shaker of salt. My friend assured me this was all we'd need.

Making Turkish coffee

"Making Turkish coffee" By Joseph Parish. Well folks, as I was drifting from one object to another on E-Bay, I chanced upon a rare Turkish jezve which captured my attention. I always keep an open eye out for any rare or unusual looking items and this was very extraordinary. Usually, the common jezve is made of copper and there is nothing special looking about the coffee pots. Their top is generally wider then the bottom and they have a long handle on it to keep you from getting burned as you heat the coffee up. Click here

We can not rely upon the government in a Crisis

"We can not rely upon the government in a Crisis" By Joseph Parish. When you pick up the morning newspaper or switch on your favorite news channel on the television you are continually bombarded with negative aspects of our country. You see how the economy is being downgraded, you make note of the high unemployment rate, you readily witness homes being lost as the banks foreclose on them and hear of the general civil unrest taking place here in America.
