With all the dire predictions of death and destruction – especially if our Dear Leader is not re-elected – how ready are you to survive a breakdown of society? A terrorist attack? Natural disaster?
UrbanSurvivalGuide.net covers some of the information you’ll need to survive. From your GHB (get home bag) to one of my favorites, the many uses for a bandana, you can learn lessons that are not only useful in times of catastrophe, but daily use also.
I skimmed through this document, and found information on how to survive a depression as well. The last few pages have instructions on – horrors! – cutting off things like your cable service in order to save some money for more important things, like saving your home. We had an employee years ago, who was under financial stress, but they wouldn’t consider cutting of their cable or not moving to a larger apartment – because their boys “needed” the games on the cable to entertain themselves. Yeah, well, don’t come crying to me when you get evicted.

Things have changed since I was in the delivery room, no partition sheet, no scrubs, masks or footies, in the nursery either. Youngest son says they figured out they were over doing it, in the rest of the animal world this process happens in the dirt. 😀

Get you one of these
and one of these
And you boil water in 4 minutes. I did a review on Hammock Forums comparing it to my $100 Jet Boil Stove and it boiled water faster than the Jet Boil and is adjustable enough to simmer after it gets there. The fuel canisters are cheap, light weight, and last a long time. Put two in your pack and you’re good for more than 2 weeks.
Wood stoves make smoke and light—a problem when the zombies come as they will see and smell it.

Ever since my trip to Italy, I rarely go anywhere without a cloth handkerchief. The uses I’ve found/thought/seen of for it (and many overlap the bandana, as they’re basically the same thing):
1) Washcloth
2) makeshift hat
3) all-purpose cleaner-upper rag
4) small purse
5) tie things to belt loop
6) tie things together
7) “disturb” warning – if I leave it on something a particular way, and it’s been disturbed, I know someone probably messed with my stuff
8.) wrist hankie
9 ) emergency bandage
10) sneezing (duh)
11) wipe mouth, nose, etc.
12) emergency butt wipe (throw away afterwards – duh – better have TWO hankies so I’ll still have one to use for other stuff!)
13) wipe sweat
14) bib
15) block some sunshine coming into car, roll it up on window
16) eye cover for sleeping
17) wave to get attention
18) put on stick – make a flag – to keep a group together in a crowd
19) If I was French, I’d wave it for surrender
20) kitty toy. (On second thought, she can get her own damn toy)
21) dusting
22) washing things
23) drying things
24) hiding super secret microchips from enemy governments17)

#15 Sarge: While your stove may in fact be a nifty little gizmo, the big drawback is that you have to use compressed gas fuel canisters and if the zombies take over those are going to be real hard to come by. The wood burning stove, while it does produce light, that can be blocked relatively easily and once it gets going, it produces very little smoke (according to the reviewers) and the smoke that it does produce can/should quickly disperse so as not to give away position. The best benefit is that the fuel is laying around on the ground, so you do not have to carry it with you and the fuel supply is almost inexhaustible. I hope that I/we are never reduced to having to rely on such a thing.

Bonesy;
My survival philosphy is based solely on tnose I am likely to encounter in hiking/camping, post hurricane, and man made disaster scenarios. I’m looking at two to three weeks max. While the philosphy includes the adage “If you prepare for a zombie apocolypse, you’ll be prepared for anything.” I don’t realistically think that anything we’re likley to encounter will go beyond that, thereofre any resources that one puts towards something longer term negatively affects the optimum achievement of the two to three week goal.
I spent 6 years in the Reserves in a unit attached to DCPA/FEMA with a mission to keep world wide communication going for the gummint in the event of nuclear attack. One instructor always began his briefings with “In the aftermath of a Nuclear Attack, the living will envy the dead.”

Let’s pray that this lawsuit ends favorably against forced unionization. I think it will, based on this argument:
“It’s unconstitutional because the first amendment guarantees everyone the right to choose with whom they associate to petition government and that the government can’t choose who’s going to represent providers for lobbying the state,” said Bill Messenger, an attorney with the National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation team on the case.
Of course, libs think that we freedom OF religion means freedom FROM religion, so it’ll be interesting to see how they argue that freedom of association means…well, not that. Freedom, I mean.

#39 CouchMaster: How much Greek debt does FranceFrench banks hold? If (more likely when) Greece defaults and is unable/refuses to pay any interest, let alone principal on its bonds, will that write off cause the French banks to become insolvent? What about Italy, Spain, and Portugal’s banking/sovereign investments in Greek debt, will they crater as well? I think the answer is yes to all the above questions. If Greece defaults, the Euro currency will become worth dramatically less and with blinding speed. Greece defaults on Euro currency June 01,2012 by Sept 01, 2012 one Euro will be worth $.80 or less.

A couple of pre-wimmin lezbienz got turned away from their school prom. The Lexington Catholic School prom.
“I would understand and respect the school’s decision if they truly upheld church teachings,” Wright said Sunday night. “They didn’t forbid the entrance of all the couples who’ve had premarital sex and all the kids who planned to get drunk after the prom.”
I would imagine if they had shown up as individuals, they would have been admitted. As it is, they learned a lesson about Making A Bold Statement.
Sometimes there are consequences. Especially when you’re dealing with one of the most conservative organizations ever to exist.
I wonder if their parents encouraged them?

I don’t think the premarital sex would have been displayed on the dance floor. The drinking, as they pointed out, would mostly happen after the dance.
And BTW – the Catholic Church doesn’t have a problem with drinking alcohol. Jesus did, and as part of life back then, probably fairly often. It’s gluttony and over indulgence that’s the problem.

Today, most of the freeze dried and dehydrated meals available can be mixed with boiling water in the bag they came in , or in freezer bags. Most guys these days carry along a quantity of freezer bags for just that purpose. Big upside is that there’s no dishes to do, potential downside is attraction of critters if not disposed of properly.
I always carry several different methods of making fire: Bic lighters, matches, busted up fire starter logs for your fireplace, magnesium striker flint, and some steel wool, mouse litter, and/or dryer lint for kindling. They’re all small and can fit in nooks and crannies in the gear.
I’m going to try that rig out soon. The basic configuration can handle anything from day pack as is to two night stay by strapping the hammock, clothing bag, and sleeping bag on it. On board water is 96 ounces without using the bladder (the bladder pack serves as back pack in that case), and the water filter and Steri-pen are permanently on board. Strap on another food bag, fille the bladder with water and add two more 32 ounce water pouches and I’m good for close to a week, even if I can’t find a good water source.

Looks like Barry’s going for broke(back) on this LSMFT thing:
In a reversal from past elections, Democrats are starting to wage the culture wars on the presidential campaign trail — wielding President Obama’s endorsement of gay marriage as a weapon against presumptive Republican nominee Mitt Romney.
…
Obama’s schedule on Monday will be capped by a pair of fundraisers in New York focused on gay and Latino donors — one of which will be hosted by the LGBT Leadership Council and openly gay singer Ricky Martin, as well as Latino group The Futuro Fund.It’s a winning strategy. I think he should continue.

Things ain’t looking too good for the recall-focused Greeks in Wisconsin. First, their pro-public union candidate lost in the primary. Now it looks like the winner of the primary is going to lose. When it’s all said and done I sure hope someone tallies up the millions in union dues that were spent from all over the country for this whole wasted effort. The rank and file union members need to know where their money went.

The black pastors are sort of revolting against JugEars proclamation in favor of homo-marriage.
Many African-American pastors say they will still support the president in November even though they may not agree with him on this particular issue.
In my world this would make them racist prostitutes and not worthy of the title “pastor”.

I dunno about the C4, but shavings from a TNT block will burn nicely. The C4 probably
stinks to high heaven when burned.Sarge has got the ticket. I agree with him about the camp foods, but you still need a stove to make coffee or tea (if you are a Brit).
I don’t camp as primitive today, but I have two Coleman Stoves. The original that uses liquid fuel and a propane stove. I bought the latter when I started camping with my grandson.
I can’t wait to take my grand daughter to Frank’s near Gruene and Ink’s Lake.

#56 – The turbocharger on a Cat Dozer makes a nice cooker too – PLEASE be SURE to poke a hole in that soup can BEFORE heating! (unless you just like soup flavored wallpaper)
I used to pack a nice frozen rib eye with seasonings, onions, peppers, taters n such in double wrapped foil – as long as you remember to turn it a few times you can kick back with a yummy steak for lunchtime! (much to the chagrin of those around you eating PBJs…….)

In the two years preceding the demise of Lone Star Times, you could have drawn a thousand commenters and readers to a lynching of Rick Perry on the banks of the Brazos River and had a mile worth of donated rope left over. Perry was reviled for saying he would cut certain taxes and not doing so.
Straus was going to be the end of all life as we knew it in Texas, slot machines in high school cafeterias, drive through abortion clinics on every corner and the State would be bankrupt long before now.
I don’t know how the next legislative session will play out or who in state government will manage to tell the biggest lies. Since about 1845, the top contenders for that title, regardless of political affiliation, have been the Governor and the Speaker so I put little or no stock in their pre-battle public skunk urinating contests.

Here’s a couple of clues to why Richard Lugar has always been listed as a self-centered a**hole in my book. I’ve never understood all the admiration heaped on this guy.
Also calling were former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum and businessman Herman Cain, both former GOP presidential candidates; former Vice President Dan Quayle; Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and a slew of other senators.
One senator, though, had not called as of late Thursday: Lugar.
It’s traditional for a candidate to call his opponent and concede defeat.
and amazingly, the people who will miss him most are:
Democratic love for Lugar: While Lugar’s appeal to all Hoosiers to come out to vote for him didn’t work, he heard plenty from Democrats after his defeat. President Barack Obama issued an unusual statement praising Lugar, a mentor to him on foreign policy issues. Both Obama and Vice President Joe Biden called Lugar after the primary. And it was Democrats, not Republicans, who took to the Senate floor Wednesday to lament his loss. Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry, who heads the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, delivered a long tribute. And Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin said it’s a sad day on both sides of the aisle when Dick Lugar won’t be part of the Senate anymore.

Let me be the first to inform you
on DrudgeEVELOPING:
Rep. Ron Paul of Texas said Monday he will not compete in primaries in any of the states that have not yet voted — essentially confirming Mitt Romney will win the Republican presidential nomination.
Mr. Paul said he will continue to work to win delegates in states that have already voted and where the process of delegate-selection is playing out. He said that’s a way to make his voice heard at the Republican nominating convention in Tampa, Fla., in August.
“Moving forward, however, we will no longer spend resources campaigning in primaries in states that have not yet voted,” Mr. Paul said. “Doing so with any hope of success would take many tens of millions of dollars we simply do not have.”
About time

Further to #70: If JugEars “coming out” for gay marriage inflames the righteous blacks, will they still vote for him? If JugEars does not get at least 90% of the black vote he will not win; are there more than 10% of blacks nationwide who will rebel against their over-seers and vote straight ticket R? If yes, the Ds will suffer the worst defeat in history and be less of a presence than the Rs were after 2008.

Frankly, we don’t need any more politicians up here. Nearly 1 in 3 adults derive their income from a governmental paycheck of some kind. And all the triple, quadruple dipping government retirees collect six figure pensions, sell their $500,000 homes and move to Florida or North Carolina where they can buy a mansion for half of it, no longer paying sales, property or income taxes to help support their fellow retirees. The system in Jersey is one of plunder and run.

A good many of my California based counterparts opt spend their retirement years in Arizona or in Mississipi. I have never understood the attraction of Florida to “Northeasteners”, other than the no snow thing. It is not the best state for retiree migration.

Most any Sun Belt or western state looks good to retirees from up here. Florida is a quick, cheap hop, airlines leaving every 15 minutes back and forth to their former home. And you can live anywhere in Florida and be a relatively short drive to the Atlantic or the Gulf. People from New Jersey, NYC and Connecticut are used to being close to the ocean.

The Obama administration seemed to have no problem bragging openly about interceding in a plot to create a new underwear bomb, attributing it to efforts by their intelligence operations….oh, but wait, uh…
It turns out that wasn’t true. The double-agent hadn’t been recruited and placed by the CIA, but by British intelligence, who also managed the operation. In fact, the Americans had only recently been made aware of the joint British-Saudi effort.
The leaks about the operation from the American side have infuriated British intelligence officials, who had hoped to continue the operation. The leaks not only scuttled the mission but put the life of the asset in jeopardy. Even CIA officials, joining their MI5 and MI6 counterparts, were describing the leaks as “despicable,” attributing them to the Obama administration.
As the stillborn investigation into the leaks continues (stillborn, because if the leaks are in fact traced to the White House, there will be no repercussions), the zeal with which the establishment media trumpeted the supposed CIA coup won’t likely be surpassed by the more important story of how the Obama administration attempted to score political points at the expense of one of the most important intelligence operations since 9/11.

My liberal brother in California called me about my mother’s phone number. While on the phone he told me that “politically we don’t agree on everything, but I’m beginning to agree with you on some things”. It turns out that the community colleges where he and his wife (a drop-dead gorgeous non-strictly observing Muslim, who is very, very sweet – everyone loves her) are dropping classes drastically. They’ve lost half of their class openings, and students who need classes to move on to universities or get their 2 year degrees are unable to get the classes they need. Students are moving from the 4 year colleges to the community colleges because they can’t afford the more expensive schools are stuck in limbo, unable to finish their education. Little Bro went on about the deficit and stuff, but he goes nuts when he and his wife drive through the military stations near San Diego and see the planes flying around. “That’s like, a thousand dollars a minute for them to fly loops around,” he said, “I mean, I know they have to train, but what for? Where does all that money come from?”
He’s not there yet, obviously, but he’s starting to think about it.
Love my little bro, I do. I wish he’d moved to Texas, but they are too liberal and had to move to California.

There are many, many people, for family or business reasons , who can’t leave California right now yet would like to do so. I feel sorry for them.
I remember back in the sixties reading about how California wanted to make college free for everyone. I knew my parents were diligently saving money for us to go to college. When I asked my father how California could do this, he just looked down and shook his head. He said it was never, ever going to work.
And there you have it. Common sense died in California long before the 1960s.

Apparently, our half Nubian Prince has decided to double down. Not only does he support gay marriage, but now he’s called for eliminating the Defense of Marriage Act.
I realize that his administration was already refusing to actually enforce the DOMA, but I don’t understand why he’s making a major issue of this – it’s a no win scenario for him.

Goldberg found Ann Romney’s glowing praise of motherhood in a column she wrote for USA Today to be “kind of creepy.” During an appearance on MSNBC’s weekend program “Up with Chris Hayes,” Goldberg said the phrase “the crown of motherhood,” which Ann Romney used in her column, reminded her of “authoritarian societies” that give out awards for large families.
Only a truly sick [female] b*stard like Michelle Goldberg would equate a woman who chose to raise a “large family” as authoritarian, and Stalanistic and Nazistic

They don’t eat the uterus. The eat the placenta, or afterbirth, when it is expelled from the uterus. There are some people who eat the placenta. I’m not one of them.
To eat the uterus, they’d have to grow hands, reach inside, and rip it out.
While that may be what childbirth kinda feels like, it’s not what’s happening. I promise.

To eat the uterus, they’d have to grow hands, reach inside, and rip it out.
While that may be what childbirth kinda feels like, it’s not what’s happening. I promise. -
Did ya get to hear more about Dewhurts Pappy?
Prolly, but I don’t listen. I think I heard something about him being in a dogfight with the Red Baron, though.

One cold December day in the early 1980s, Mitt Romney loaded up his Gran Torino with firewood and brought it to the home of a single mother whose heat had been shut off just days before Christmas.
Years after a business partner died unexpectedly, Romney helped the man’s surviving daughter go to medical school with loans for tuition — loans he forgave when she graduated.And in 1997, when a fellow church member’s teenage son fell seriously ill, Romney sprinted to the hospital in the dead of night, where he kept vigil with his terrified parents.
These are signs of a truly good man.
Some supporters believe he isn’t touting them because it’s impossible to separate the good works he’s done from a Mormon faith that demands them — a faith that has by all accounts been a defining influence in his life, yet which the campaign has been determined to keep out of the political conversation.
But taken together, the stories point to a central contradiction between Romney the candidate and Romney the person. In short, a man weighed down by the image of a heartless corporate raider who can’t relate to people actually has a history of doing remarkably kind things for those in need.
Yup. this is a god link to connect with the stupid voters who cannot comprehend how a million-billion-zillonaire would have a heart for the common folks. The fact that Romney doesn’t speak about these events publicly is another sign that he provides service to others because he truly believes in providing the service as a moral good and that he’s glad to do so.
What does a Democrat say to this?
“No one is questioning whether or not Mitt Romney has a nice family or has lived a life of success in which he’s tried to give something back,” said Jen Psaki, a Democratic strategist and former communications staffer in the Obama White House. “But that doesn’t matter to people who are still struggling, families that are trying to pay for college, people trying to pay for health insurance, middle class families who are trying to make ends meet. [Romney] hasn’t shown a plan to help them. That’s what voters are looking for, and he leaves a lot to be desired on that front.”
I placed the irony in bold.

Oh, and I’m so glad you don’t eat the placenta after birth. Despite whatever medical benefits there are to doing so, it’s just nasty!!!
