The Self-Reliance Manifesto

An expert’s advice on how to survive anything, anywhere.

Len's advice has always been practical, effective and (best to my mind) frugal without compromising effectiveness. Anyone who purchases his works will not be disappointed.

In this comprehensive, fully-illustrated guide, McDougall reveals how to make water safe for drinking, build a fire in any conditions, find and build shelter, use basic medical skills, and more. McDougall has field-tested everything from kayaks, backpacks, and boots to cameras, tents, and water filters, and because of his research and experience, everyone can feel more safe. 200 color photographs and 100 black-and-white illustrations

If you're a novice and grew up in a city with a thirst to learn about how to survive the great outdoors, this book is great! Len walks you through step by step instructions on ways to make fire, purify water, use weapons, create and find shelter, etc. Len has constructed a concise source that is both practical and easy to understand.

A place to start reading on the basics of survival, in both urban and wilderness environments. The chapter titles lay out the fundamental topics: fire, water, food, shelter, medicine, security and defense, and coping with disasters. Appendices add: edible plants, poisonous plants, knots, and tracking.

This is a first look and an elementary look at survival. McDougall's approach is practical and assumes no prior experience or study. If you're just beginning to think about these topics, this book will orient you to the subject. As a whole, the book is colorful with pictures and focused on the very basics. It isn't going to overwhelm or intimidate beginners.

This is not a book for readers seeking intermediate or advanced instruction and techniques.

I guess you have noted all the sites that sell freeze dried/ dehydrated foods. These sites don't tell you that canned commercial food remains safe for years, although the taste and nutritional quality may suffer after time.

Many canned products now have a "for best quality use by" date stamped on the top or bottom of the can. "Expiration" dates are rarely found on canned food.

Canned food has an almost indefinite shelf life at moderate temperatures (75° Fahrenheit and below).

Store-Bought Foods

Most canned foods in grocery stores have dates stamped on them indicating when they will provide the best quality and taste, but few have true expiration dates, notes the Canned Food Alliance on its Mealtime.org website.

Commercial canning processes use heat to kill organisms that would cause spoilage, so intact cans keep food edible and safe virtually forever, the alliance notes. Peak flavor and nutrition remain for about two years, however.

Keep canned goods away from heat and moisture. The U.S. Department of Agriculture advises they don't be stored near a stove or sink, or in a damp area. Foods with a lot of acid, such as fruit or tomatoes, are best used up within a year and a half, while other canned foods remain good quality for much longer.

Throw canned foods away if the can leaks or bulges. This indicates spoilage or bacterial contamination according to the Canned Food Alliance. Dents or rust that do not cause leaks will not damage the food inside.

Reading Can Codes

Each canned food manufacturer has a unique coding system. Some manufacturers list day, month and year of production, while other companies reference only the year. These codes are usually imprinted on the top or bottom of the can. Other numbers may appear and reference the specific plant manufacturing or product information and are not useful to consumers. If you have specific questions about a company's product, most manufacturers offer a toll-free number to call for questions about canned food expiration dates

Note: For month coding, if a number is used, numbers 1 through 9 represent January through September, and letters O for October, N for November and D for December. If letters are used, A=Jan. and L=Dec., unless otherwise noted.

Note: For year coding, 8=1998; 9=1999; 0=2000; 1=2001; 2=2002, etc.

mealtime.org

Can canned food be heated in its container?

A. Yes. If it is necessary to heat canned food in the container, the top must be removed to prevent pressure build-up. The opened container may be covered loosely with a piece of aluminum foil. Then place the can in a saucepan of hot water and simmer on the stove top. Food cans should never be placed in a microwave for heating. To heat canned food in the microwave, open the can and place the contents in a microwave-safe container.

So if you want to purchase good "survival food" you don't have to purchase freeze dried/dehydrated foods that will last 20 years. Canned foods that are not damaged will also last for years and they are much cheaper.

Its almost a survival scam when it comes to some companies telling you to be prepared by buying foods that are freeze dried/dehydrated etc.

Just go to the grocery stor and stock up on canned goods. This is the best and cheapest way to be prepared.

Of course if your on the move freeze dried/dehydrated foods would be better and easier to carry in a back pack etc.

The Deal on Food Dates

“Freshness Date” or “Best if Used By Date”:

This tells you how long a food will be fresh and at top quality if it is stored properly. After that date, the product may still be safe to eat, but may not taste as good.
Foods with freshness dates: Bread, salad dressing, raisins and cereal. Many canned products have a “for best quality use by” date stamped on the top or bottom of the can. “Expiration” dates are rarely found on canned food.

Save the Date

• Check dates as you store food.
• Find a product with no date? Label it with the purchase date.
• Place newly purchased items behind existing versions of the same item so older items are used first (first in, first out).

When obama or other Pharaoh makes the dollar collapse maybe you and I can be prepared just a little and provide for ourselves and loved ones.

S. Truett Cathy built his life and Chick-fil-A based on hard work, humility and biblical principles.

Watch as Dan takes us through an up-close and personal look at his bees and the lessons we can learn from God's creation.

"Nearly every moment of every day we have the opportunity to give something to someone else - our time, our love, our resources. I have always found more joy in giving when I did not expect anything in return."

- Quote from "Eat Mor Chikin: Inspire More People" by S. Truett Cathy, published 2002
...............................................

S. Truett Cathy is founder and chairman of Chick-fil-A, Inc. Cathy started the business in 1946, when he and his brother, Ben, opened an Atlanta diner known as The Dwarf Grill (later renamed The Dwarf House®). Through the years, that restaurant prospered and led Cathy to further the success of his business. In 1967, Cathy founded and opened the first Chick-fil-A restaurant in Atlanta’s Greenbriar Shopping Center. Today, Chick-fil-A has the highest same-store sales and is the second-largest quick-service chicken restaurant chain in the United States based on annual system-wide sales.

In 2011, Cathy celebrated his 65th anniversary in the restaurant business with industry-wide recognition: a local celebration at his first restaurant, The Dwarf House in Hapeville, GA., and the opening of the third Truett’s Grill® location – a concept the chain first introduced in 1996 to recognize Cathy’s then-50th anniversary in the restaurant industry. In 2011, Cathy celebrated another exciting milestone – the 44th Anniversary of the Chick-fil-A restaurant chain.

As of February 2012, there are more than 1,605 Chick-fil-A restaurants in 39 states and Washington, D.C. Remarkably, Cathy has led Chick-fil-A on an unparalleled record of 44 consecutive years of annual sales increases. Cathy's approach is largely driven by personal satisfaction and a sense of obligation to the community and its young people. His WinShape Foundation, founded in 1984, grew from his desire to "shape winners" by helping young people succeed in life through scholarships and other youth-support programs. The foundation annually awards 20 to 30 students wishing to attend Berry College in Rome, GA. with scholarships up to $32,000 that are jointly funded by WinShape and Berry. In addition, through its Leadership Scholarship Program, the Chick-fil-A chain has given more than $30 million in $1,000 scholarships to Chick-fil-A restaurant employees since 1973. This year, the company will award $1.65 million in scholarships to its restaurant team members.

As part of his WinShape Homes® program, nine foster care homes have been established in Georgia, two in Tennessee and one in Alabama that are operated by Cathy and the WinShape Foundation. These homes, accommodating up to 12 children with two full-time foster parents, provide long-term care for foster children with a positive family environment.

Another core component distinguishing WinShape programs is WinShape Camps®. It was founded in 1985 to impact young people and families through experiences which enhance their Christian faith, character and relationships. More than 10,000 campers from throughout the country and abroad attended WinShape Camps in 2010.

In 2003, Truett helped his son and daughter-in-law, Bubba and Cindy, celebrate the opening of WinShape RetreatSM, a high-end retreat and conference facility also located on the Mountain Campus of Berry College. This multi-use facility hosts marriage-enrichment retreats, along with business and church-related conferences, and in summer months, houses WinShape Camp for girls.

Cathy built his life and business based on hard work, humility and biblical principles. Based on these principles, all of Chick-fil-A's restaurants operate with a "Closed-on-Sunday" policy, without exception.

Cathy has received countless awards over the years, including William E. Simon Prize for Philanthropic Leadership (2008); Paul M. Kuck Legacy Award (2008); President’s Call to Service Award (2008); The Cecil B. Day Ethics Award (2007); The Silver Buffalo Award presented by the Boy Scouts of America (2007); Tom Landry Excellence of Character Award (2007); Greater Dallas FCA Lifetime Achievement Award from the National Poultry & Food Distributors Association (2005); Norman Vincent & Ruth Stafford Peale Humanitarian Award (2003); Catalyst Lifetime Achievement Award from Injoy/John Maxwell (2003); Georgia Sports Hall of Fame – Chairman’s Award (2003); the Ernst & Young- Entrepreneur of the Year – Lifetime Achievement Award (2000); and Horatio Alger Award – Horatio Alger Association, Washington, D.C. (1989) He also is the author of It’s Easier to Succeed Than to Fail (Thomas Nelson Publishing, 1989); Eat Mor Chikin: Inspire More People (Looking Glass Books, 2002); It’s Better to Build Boys Than Mend Men (Looking Glass Books, 2004); How Did You Do It, Truett? (Looking Glass Books, 2007); and Wealth, Is It Worth It? (Looking Glass Books, 2011); and he is co-author of The Generosity Factor with Ken Blanchard (Zondervan Publishing, 2002).

In addition to presiding over one of the most successful restaurant chains in America, Cathy is a dedicated husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather. His two sons, Dan and Don ("Bubba"), have both followed their father in learning the business from the ground-up. Dan became president and chief operating officer of Chick-fil-A in August 2001 and Bubba is senior vice president of Chick-fil-A, Inc., president of the Chick-fil-A Dwarf House division and vice president of the WinShape Foundation. Cathy’s daughter, Trudy Cathy White serves as the director of WinShape Girls Camps. In 2006, Cathy welcomed the third generation of Cathy family members to the business. Truett Cathy and his wife, Jeannette, have 12 grandchildren, eleven great-grandchildren (as of February 2012) and more than 150 "foster grandchildren."

The Sin of Sodom
........................................

Why not just leave the sodomites alone and let them live their own lives?

Because God hates this sin and He doesn't want it "left alone." Sin is like a cancer: when ignored it spreads . As we've already seen from God's word, God commends those who oppose sodomy, so we too need to speak out against this abominable sin before it overwhelms us and destroys our nation like it destroyed Sodom. No, we should not HATE the sodomites, but we should firmly oppose their sin as the word of God commands us.

Marine Corps creates law-enforcement battalions to inforce police state

US marines to become law enforcement in America?

Soetoro’s 2012 election contingency

(Make no mistake the regime comsiders America a "battleground". The only thing holding the regime in power back is the fact Americans have the ability to defend themselves against tyranny of the regime in power.) Story Reports

The law of war allows for fighters to use deadly force as a first resort, while police officers use it as a last resort.

"Am I a Marine or a cop? Can I be both?" he said. "Cops apply human rights law and Marines apply the law of war. Now that it's blended, it makes it tougher for the young men and women who have to make the decision as to when deadly force is not appropriate."

Durham said that military police understand that better than any Marine since they are trained in both.

"They are very comfortable with the escalation of force," he said. "MPs get that. It's fundamental to what we do."
.................................................

CAMP PENDLETON, Calif. — The Marine Corps has created its first law-enforcement battalions.

Military police, who graduate from academies just like civilian cops.

The battalions will be capable of helping control civil disturbances, handling detainees, carrying out forensic work, and using biometrics to identify suspects.

The "war on terror" has also taught troops the importance of learning how to gather intelligence, secure evidence and assist local authorities in building cases to take down criminal networks. Troops have gotten better at combing raid sites for clues to help them track insurgents.
..............................................

(Remember the 2012 obama law that allows the military to kidnap civilians, no warrant, no lawyer, no judge and for NO reason? (2012 defense authorization act)

Obama and his fellow comrades have included all Americans as suspects in the so called fake "War On Terror". The war on terror is a stepping stone to the war on the American people.

The military will be used to inforce the police state rules. This is just another example of how.

Remember home land "security" sending letters to local sheriff's telling them returning veterans, people who are members of an organization that supports gun rights and people who condemn abortion are considered terror suspects.) Story Reports

.................................................

The Department of Homeland Security has been directly involved with the militarization of our local police forces across the country since its inception. DHS along with the Army, under NORTHCOM, have been actively taking an increasingly Un-Constitutional and direct role in the policing of American citizens. Fusion centers all across the country have been set up to coordinate and link together the investigative and enforcement capabilities of the local police, state troopers, Army and National Guard.

On the surface this may seem like a good idea, until you realize that the Posse Comitatus Act established in 1878 was meant to disallow the military from engaging in civilian policing on American soil. This was due to the fact that standing armies were commonly used in police states that were totalitarian in nature. This is a characteristic we are seeing more and more of in the United States.



These Fusion Centers are federally funded with no government oversight; they are out there doing what ever they wish to the unsuspecting and unknowing public. Routine spying on Americans is now localized through the fusion centers operations, which have included collaboration with the CIA. Previous to this there was a ban on CIA intelligence operations in the U.S.

The internal documents of the DHS state that “right-wing extremists” are potential terrorists, along with Iraq war veterans, Afghanistan war veterans, and citizens who support candidates like Ron Paul. The rhetoric is disturbing as it targets Americans for their beliefs (thought police), which is Orwellian in nature.

The security apparatus is being turned inward in dramatic fashion under the guise of rooting out radical extremists.

More and more, in dealing with nonviolent political protesters police across America show up in battlefield dress with intimidating military gear supplied by the Pentagon and Homeland Security.
..........................................

Homeland Security Classifies Returning US Veterans as Potential Terrorist Threat

This is what the Department of Homeland Security thinks about our military men and women who are overseas fighting on our behalf:


"The return of military veterans facing significant challenges reintegrating into their communities could lead to the potential emergence of terrorist groups or lone wolf extremists capable of carrying out violent attacks."

"Returning veterans possess combat skills and experience that are attractive to right-wing extremists,” it says. “DHS/I&A is concerned that right-wing extremists will attempt to recruit and radicalize veterans in order to boost their violent capacities."

The memo, titled "Rightwing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment" was released to police agencies across the country to warn against what the Department of Homeland Security believes may be an increased threat of domestic terrorism.

The DHS memo says that the election of Barack Obama, coupled with recent economic troubles and members of the military returning from wars in Afghanistan and Iraq might lead extremist groups to recruit more veterans with combat experience. According to the memo, the election of the first African-american president in U.S. history has influenced more white supremacist groups to increase recruiting efforts.

The Big Regime Lie

(The government doesn't mention left wing extremists. A prime example is the recent dirtball James Holmes.

Who financed JAMES HOLMES? Who financed occupy wall street?

According to CBS, NBC and ABC News, dirtball James Holmes spent $15,000 on guns, ammo and bomb making material since at least December 18th, 2011 up to July 18th, 2012. Dirtball James Holmes was pulling down $1,700 per month through his Federal grant at the University of Colorado of which he paid rent, internet access, adult dating services, food, transportation, gas, car insurance etc., etc.. The numbers do not compute, out of the $1,700 stipend he would spend at least $1,500 just getting by, so where did the extra $16 Grand come from, who or what group financed this dirtball JAMES HOLMES.

Aurora Shooter Militant Occupy Black Bloc Member?


Private Detective Bill Warner is reporting at his site that the Aurora, CO theatre mass murderer James E. Holmes was apparently a member of the Occupy movement’s “elite” militant and violent Black Bloc unit. There is also a photo on the site showing Holmes being arrested by what appear to be San Diego police.

We already know that Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi and a number of other Democrat lawmakers have praised the Occupy “movement” and Obama-mentor and boss George Soros has heavily financed it. Now, with the Black Bloc Uber-violent segment and its apparent hit-man James Holmes beginning to look, sound and feel like another ObamaFriend Bill Ayers’ Weather Underground, we finally know who is really behind this violence.

The new Batman movie–third of the trilogy–is extremely critical of the Occupy movement. It strongly appears that Holmes didn’t like that characterization. So, he killed 12 people and injured at least 71 others with a hail of bullets directed at the moviegoers. If Holmes’ tie in to the Occupy Black Bloc unit is allowed to come to the light of day, it will finally be known that the Obama Police State will no longer allow anyone to even listen to those who criticize the dictator.

Every day now we are reminded that we have, indeed, reached that critical time in our country’s history to decide whether we want to live in Luciferian tyranny and suppression as slaves under the growing Obama police state or fight and perhaps die to bring back and ensure liberty for our children and grandchildren.

The Obama War has begun on multiple fronts and, also, includes roving gangs of black teens who are seeking out non-blacks (especially whites) to maim and kill. These are happening more and more frequently and do not appear to be waning. Under Obama’s rule, the USA has not only become a 3rd world country but, Obama has driven race relations to all time lows…if not into non-existence.

It is now apparent that Obama and his operatives will do anything to reelect the usurper;. Even murder–including this latest version of Ayers’ Weather Underground–may no longer be an obstacle. Will We-the-People have the courage, will and honor to stop him? Will we? We may be forced to decide that answer even sooner than we anticipated.

“Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin”–James 4:17

(Its obvious to me the human waste james holmes had help from other human waste, setting him up for a False Flag. The un votes on the 27 of July to ban guns and hillary will make sure the US agrees to sign the treaty. It must be ratified by 2/3 of the US senate.

Holmes is the false flag that the human waste hopes will help senators sign the un treaty wich will bypass the US Constitution and gut the 2nd ammendment.) Story Reports

The human waste is capable of anything to get reelected.

Homemade Trap for Rabbits or Squirrels

Homemade Trap for Rabbits or Squirrels
..................................................

Location and Operation

Rabbits live in areas where good escape cover is available--in brushpiles, briar patches and thick fencerows. They also prefer low-cut bluegrass mixed with clovers and shrubs. In order to catch rabbits, the box trap must be placed in or along the runs or trails made by rabbits using these areas.

Opinions vary as to the importance of baits for the box trap. Some prefer baits such as apples, carrots or corn, while others use no bait at all. Baits may attract opossums and skunks in search of an easy meal.

.....................................................

The best trap going for the survivor is the box trap. Box traps are cheap to build using old scrap lumber or outdoor plywood. Box traps are easy on the critters trapped, unlike snares or steel traps that usually kill or maim the game that gets in them, game caught in a box traps are kept safe from hungry predators until the trapper returns to check the trap. Often trappers using other trapping methods, will return to the trap site only to find where some lucky predator has made an easy meal of his catch.

Fifty years ago every farm boy knew how to build and use this type of trap, now the skill has been lost to all but a few old timers. Today our population is much more interested in watching TV or playing video games, than learning any useful skill. Which is sad, because one day a simple skill such as constructing a homemade box trap could make the difference between going to bed hungry or with a full stomach…

Catching Food In The Woods After The Dollar Collapses

Snares

Small-game snares can be made from the interior strands of parachute cord, braided strands of sinew, or fishing line. Snares stout enough to secure game as large as deer need to be made of rawhide or parachute cord.

Ground Snare

Position the snare at head height and tie off the end to a tree, a stake in the ground, or a log that the animal can only drag a short distance as the noose tightens. Make snares from cord, fishing line, or wire if available.

(This is another post in my quest to educate myself and others about surviving. The future looks like its going back to the 1930's and worse. Obama is doing everything he can to destroy the economy while telling you he is doing everything he can to create jobs and "stimulate" the economy.

The writing is on the wall. Today people depend on the local grocery store for food. Most don't depend on themselves but depend on the government. Back in the 1930's depression it was different more people had farms and knew how to survive. The people in the cities had to stand in long lines for food..any food.

Anybody can trap wild game. I think it does take patience and some practice.

Condi's closet friend is strange

Late Thursday evening, Mitt Romney's presidential campaign launched a new fundraising drive, 'Meet The VP' -- just as Romney himself has narrowed the field of candidates to a handful, sources reveal.

And a surprise name is now near the top of the list: Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice!

The timing of the announcement is now set for 'coming weeks'.
...............................................

Condi's "Closest Female Friend"

There have long been questions about Rice's sexual orientation and her personal life in general. As Kessler notes, "She has built a wall of privacy around her that is never breached." But Kessler had access to Rice's closest friends and to Rice herself, and he reveals some eyebrow-raising information that hasn't been out there before.

In the book and on the show, Kessler described how Rice's "closest male friend" is openly gay, a man by the name of Coit D. Blacker, a Stanford professor (Rice was provost at Stanford in the late 1990s for six years) and a Democrat who served in the Clinton administration. Blacker, whose partner is also mentioned, advised Al Gore's campaign in 2000, while his close friend Rice became a chief confidante to a president who has tried to make gays into second class citizens in the U.S. Constitution. But wait, it gets better.

Rice's "closest female friend" is a woman named Randy Bean , who is unmarried and whose sexual orientation is not stated. She is described as a "liberal progressive;" she's a documentary filmmaker who works at Standford University and once worked for Bill Moyers. She and Rice and Blacker (again, who has a partner) are discussed as a "second family," a term Bean uses, also saying that, "on friends, [Rice] goes narrow and deep."

According to newly revealed information in the book (which Kessler found through real estate records), the two women, Rice and Bean (yes, hilarious), own a home together and have a line of credit together. Bean explains this to Kessler by saying that she had some medical bills that drained her financially years ago, and Rice and Blacker helped her out by buying the house with Bean. But over time Blacker sold his share of the house to Rice and Bean, and then Rice would later get the line of credit with Bean to do some renovations on the home. Kessler, when pressed, said he did not know if this meant there was something more to the relationship between the women beyond a friendship.
.........................................

(If the above piece is true it figures doesn't it? If she does live with another woman it does not mean she is gay. If her best male friend is gay I think this is strange but maybe she likes gay men. She would be light years ahead of joe biden as far as her ability to do anything. I hope she is a straight arrow but if she is like obama she is in the closet like him.) Story Reports
