How Much Water is enough

September 14, 2010 - "How Much Water is enough" By Joseph Parish. We frequently underestimate the proper quantities of water that we require in order to sustain life while bugging out.

Getty-up and go with Pets in Tow

September 13, 2010 - "Getty-up and go with Pets in Tow" By Joseph Parish. Most people overlook their pets when developing their emergency evacuation strategy that is so vital during times of crisis. Then we have those who support what they consider a more practical approach and when the time arrives to depart they do just that – they leave while their loving pets get to fend for themselves. It doesn’t matter if the calamity is a wild fire, flood or hurricane the animals are habitually the last item pondered. Click here

Go Home Aryan Nation

September 11, 2010 - "Go Home Aryan Nation" By Joseph Parish. By now I assume most lower Delaware citizens have learned of the proposed White Supremacist Rally being considered for Bethany Beach.

The Recent Increase in Media Survival Information

September 10, 2010 - "The Recent Increase in Media Survival Information" By Joseph Parish.

Pets Get Heatstroke also

September 9, 2010 - "Pets Get Heatstroke also" By Joseph Parish. This year America is witnessing the hottest summer on record.

Our hard earned tax dollars at work. They just don't give up. Most first ladies support some sort of platform but this one supports only her own enjoyment. Well bleed the golden cow while you can hopefully it will end soon. Click here

City Council Meetings to Begin with Muslim Prayers

Eurosealer and the Survivalist

September 8, 2010 - "Eurosealer and the Survivalist" By Joseph Parish. We have all noticed them being sold on television commercials, those little Eurosealers which fit in the palm of your hand. They are frequently inexpensive in cost and appear to be something which every homemaker could make good use of. Being a survivalist and also being motivated by thriftiness, I had to try one. I found mine in one of the local kitchen stores, the kind that usually carries all sorts of trinkets for your home. Click here

Defining the Suicide Bomber

September 6, 2010 - "Defining the Suicide Bomber" By Joseph Parish. In order to combat suicide bombers we must acclimatize ourselves to initially understand their temperament. These irrational human beings focus upon premeditated violence customarily motivated by political concerns. Frequently, the target group of people which these offenders seek out is noncombatant or civilian populations. We are looking at a mentality which deems their ultimate death as a major precondition towards a successful mission. Click here

Prevention and Response to Suicide Bombing Incidents

September 5, 2010 - "Prevention and Response to Suicide Bombing Incidents" By Joseph Parish. We have taken note of these criminals on the evening newscasts and read of their evil exploits in the morning newspaper, but how much do we actually comprehend pertaining to terrorist suicide bombers? If you’re like I was the answer is likely to be “very little.” These categories of people are extremely dangerous and unpredictable since they have no objections to dying for what they deem a just cause. As survivalists we should be more attentive towards how to determine what these criminal minds may be thinking and foresee what potential strategy they may have in store for you and I. We need to develop an awareness of how they function and how they manage to pull-off some of their actual exploits. Click here

Pam’s Bread Custard Pudding

September 1, 2010 - "Pam’s Bread Custard Pudding" By Joseph Parish. When my wife makes us fresh baked bread on a daily basis we often discover that it is too much for a family of three to eat. As such it only makes good cost effective sense to find alternate methods in which to utilize this left over bread. Generally our freshly prepared bread will be usable for its anticipated purpose for a period of several days after it has been made, however beyond that time frame it slowly begins to deteriorate and get stale.

A Matter of Benjamin’s

August 31, 2010 - "A Matter of Benjamin’s" By Joseph Parish. When hurricane Katrina assaulted the city of New Orleans there can be no doubt that along with the large scale destruction laid in its path, a greater moral disaster was becoming evident. At the conclusion of the storm it had caused immeasurable amounts of destruction to Louisiana’s most popular regional city. The hurricane thundered onto the coast in August of 2005. This crisis not only generated enormous amounts of damage to property but ultimately affected the lives of many low income people. These inhabitants of the “Big Easy” were not merely displaced by this phenomenon but literally uprooted from their homes to be eventually forgotten. Click here

Using code words

August 31, 2010 - "Using code words" By Joseph Parish. In the future when the balloon goes up it always helps to be able to catch aggressors or invaders by surprise when necessary. I look at the situation as if it is either them or me. I would rather catch them napping then they in turn discover my family and I unprepared. Plain text language would often reveal your intentions to any evil doer that may want your supplies or even worse to harm your loved ones. In place of that my family and I have devised a series of code words which indicate certain actions that should be accomplished immediately. Click here

A cow with how many teats

August 27, 2010 - "A cow with how many teats?" By Joseph Parish. I am truly amazed that Ms. Carson of OWL took such an offense to Alan Simpson’s letter. Granted he appeared a bit rough and crude with his format but it was meant only to be graphic and descriptive, which many of us often do. To ask for the man to resign his position is nothing short of ludicrous. Click here

Power from the Air

August 17, 2010 - "Power from the Air" By Joseph Parish. There is a thin line between someone who may be deemed crazy and one who is heralded as a genius. Such is the case in this short but true anecdote involving radio signals. It seems that in 1912 the originator of wireless radio, Mr. Guglielmo Marconi offered a prediction that at some potential date wireless would actually be able to impart lighting for the home, heat for warming it up and power to run its applications.
