Ruby Ridge Revisited

My Aerogarden Evaluation

August 2, 2009 - "My Aerogarden Evaluation" By Joseph Parish. When they originally came out with the Aerogarden units I thought to myself what a unique way to grown some produce in my kitchen so I decided to purchase one and now every time someone comes to visit they comment on it. I am usually asked how well it grows plants so I decided to write a short review on its capabilities and disadvantages. Click here

Back up Systems

July 30, 2009 - "Back up Systems" By Joseph Parish. There are many different techniques that can be used to start a fire under emergency conditions. The traditional techniques that involved a fire stick or fire drill which is rotated is certainly beyond my use. I feel it is a slow and labor intensive method. For many thousands of years people would bang stones together that containing iron in order to get a sparks to light some lose tinder. In addition, there are several other means by which fire could be produced such as a hand drill, bow drill, fire plow, fire pump, by use of sunlight and a lens, a fire piston or through the process of chemical reactions.

Survivalist uses for solar landscape lights

July 29, 2009 - "Survivalist uses for solar landscape lights" By Joseph Parish. Here is an interesting thought that surely must have crossed many people’s minds in the past. As I sit on my patio I watch the solar lights that surround it and firmly believe that every survivalist should have several of these solar powered landscape lights for use at their bug out retreat or their home in the event of an emergency.

Store your Yeast properly

July 28, 2009 - "Store your Yeast properly" By Joseph Parish. Yeast is an organism which is similar in character to that of Fungi. There are currently more then 1,500 different species which survive from the cold artic region to the deeps of the ocean.

Selection of a sleeping bag for your survival kit

July 27, 2009 - "Selection of a sleeping bag for your survival kit" By Joseph Parish. Most of the active survivalists which I know have some sort of sleeping bag in their “Box of Goodies” in the event that they would need to rough it on a possible bug out event. As a rule, it would be wise to selection a sleeping bag which is effective to at least zero degrees, but you should keep in mind that there are additional requirements which need to be considered as well. As a consumer you are presented with a host of materials such as goose down, quallofil or hollofil as a fill material in your sleeping bag. Therefore, in order to make a wise choice you should be aware of what the pros and cons are for each of these insulation types. Click here

History Unfolding

July 23, 2009 - "History Unfolding" By David Kaiser. I am a student of history. Professionally, I have written 15 books on history that have been published in six languages, and I have studied history all my life. I have come to think there is something monumentally large afoot, and I do not believe it is simply a banking crisis, or a mortgage crisis, or a credit crisis. Yes these exist, but they are merely single facets on a very large gemstone that is only now coming into a sharper focus. Click here

Include your cat in disaster-preparedness plans

July 21, 2009 - "Include your cat in disaster-preparedness plans" By Melissa Kruse. The current swine flu situation has added an apocalyptic air to life in Seattle. Cats cannot contract swine flu, but I got to thinking about what would happen to my pets if I had to be hauled away in a wheel barrel teeming with other plague victims on my street. Or, what if I was stuck beneath some twisted wreckage following Seattle’s inevitable magnitude 9 earthquake and couldn’t reach the bag of California Natural? Would they have to eat me? Click here

Revenge on Bambi

July 20, 2009 - "Revenge on Bambi" By Joseph Parish. Remember the night that Bambi ran in front of your new truck and left you with a three thousand dollar repair bill? Granted the deer may now be dead but you still haven’t reaped your full revenge on him yet have you? Why not grab up this truck hitter and clean him immediately so you can put him into some canning jars. In this manner you can saver your revenge slowly over the following year. An important point here is to get the road kill cleaned and cooled as quickly as possible. Click here

Supplies for Home Schooling

July 19, 2009 - "Supplies for Home Schooling" By Joseph Parish. With the situation as it is in America today I have decided to once again home school my grandson. There is currently a lot of talk about the Child’s Corp of Mr. Obama’s which is highly reminiscent of the Hitler days of German. I have recently heard that flu shots may be given to school children this coming year whether the parent or guardian desire it or not. In view of these revelations I feel it is best to go back to a home school environment. Click here

Some thoughts on Storage Space

July 18, 2009 - "Some thoughts on Storage Space" By Joseph Parish. As survivalists we never seem to have adequate space for stock up with the important supplies that may be required to assure our survival whenever an emergency condition occurs. A modest amount of thought on most of our parts can undoubtedly disclose some very exciting hiding places. That is exactly what this article is all about. Click here

Room for several dehydrators

July 17, 2009 - "Room for several dehydrators?" By Joseph Parish. You finally have your dehydrator and are ready to have fun. No longer will you have to rely upon the grocery store for your needs as you can dry just about everything from regular tomatoes to the popular sun dried versions, potatoes, onions, mushrooms, bananas, pineapples, strawberries, peppers, jerky, herbs, meats and more. One of the great things about dehydrating foods is the decrease in waste. The skins and ends that you would normally toss into the trash can be dried and ground into a powder for use in your normal everyday cooking. These powders will add some extra flavor to your foods when it is needed. Click here

The Good, The Bad and the Ugly of Hand Sanitizers

July 16, 2009 - "The Good, The Bad and the Ugly of Hand Sanitizers" By Joseph Parish. There has been a dramatic increase in the concern for washing hands since the Swine flu has hit the headlines. You now find hand sanitizing equipment in many public locations such as schools, hospitals, day care centers as well as in homes that previously had none what so ever. I imagine that the major question that is on most peoples mind is whether these various hand sanitizer products are worth the cost or a waste of time and money. Click here

Passive Protection in times of crisis

July 12, 2009 - "Passive Protection in times of crisis" By Joseph Parish. For many reasons one can not often protect their assets as they would like to. These reasons may range from the lack of the necessary money to accomplish all that would be needed to various local ordinances which would forbid installing certain protective devices. Even if you can not afford all the luxuries of protection that other survivalists have done there are still ways that you can adequately protect your home and your family in times of crisis.

Mistakes commonly made by Survivalists

July 3, 2009 - "Mistakes commonly made by Survivalists" By Joseph Parish. We are all survivalists and were beginners at one time or other and each of us could perhaps share an interesting anecdote or two concerning our experiences. Unfortunately, the new survivalists often learn the tricks of the trade the hard way and many times even the more experienced of us survivalists may overlook important aspects associated with bugging out or retreat creation. Although the saying of live and learn may apply to most situations I for one do not desire to chance a philosophy such as that to the well being and survival of my family in an emergency situation. Perhaps this short article may serve as a reminder to both the newbie’s as well as for the experienced pros in what not to do. Click here

Several months ago my friend Wayne and i were talking about my training in being able to clone plants and we thought that would be a great talent for survivalists to know.

Your Medical Library

June 29, 2009 - "Your Medical Library" By Joseph Parish.

We Support the Iran Protesters

June 26, 2009 - "We Support the Iran Protesters" By Joseph Parish. Currently as Americans we appreciate and know the true value of being able to protest.

The Flu Concerns - Panic or not?

June 22, 2009 - "The Flu Concern – Panic or not?" By Joseph Parish. Here in America as well as the rest of the world we are now getting very concerned and in some cases beginning to panic over the swine flu which had its beginnings in Mexico. I do not wish to add to this panic however recently the WHO has raised the level of preparedness to that of 6 from its previous 5. What this amounts to is that we are now in a full pandemic. Even at this serious of a level we should not overreact but rather become more prepared then we previously were. Click here

To the Bonny Eagle High School Administration

June 17, 2009 - "To the Bonny Eagle High School Administration" by Joseph Parish.

These are the same politicians ranging from the highest seat in our government to those at the city and country level that are having an about face at this time. Click here
