<p>Thanks for the links Mary, but I'm pretty well shot. I have a Non Hodgkin's Lymphoma I have controlled now for 6 years with vitamins and herbs. The only person that Vanderbilt had that reversed it. This time though it is (hopefully was) Esophageal Cancer. It cut my throat off so fast I had to go conventional which has done a lot of damage. Another CAT Scan in April, the last one they couldn't tell if it was all gone or not, too much radiation damage. Chemo screwed up the rest and if it failed there is nothing left but surgery, which I have refused up front. Add to that a heart attack 6 years ago at 44, I know what comes after death, and I'm good with that, just really don't want to go from this so I have no problem being a diversion, but she thinks I will go too. My wife and I will be on <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.biography.com/video.do?name=isurvivedbeyondandback" target="_blank">I Survived, Beyond and Back</a> on 1-9-11, the Biography Chanel, red shirt and beard is me. I'm just trying to spend whatever I have left preparing my family and friends (known and unknown) to make the journey I can't. Maybe leave this world a little better place than it is.</p>

<p> The Silver you are talking about, make sure if you make Colloidal Silver you use .9999, it has to be 4-9s or else it will become poison. Jewelry Silver will not work. Filter the particles so that they are small and I usually make mine not quite as many PPMs be dose. That way you will lessen the chance of turning Blue. Google Bob Beck. </p>
<p> </p>
<p> I also brought in a Jackass, a miniature one. It you can get a Jenny get that, Jacks are known to eventually turn on your livestock. I had a baby goat born today, died today, he killed it. Think he killed another goat too. Not only do they yell when something comes near, but they also kill dogs, etc. </p>
<p> </p>
<p> For borders, just make sure it is clear of Livestock an especially children, fishing hooks. On perimeter fences hang them from the trees, face high. In tall grass just attach them to something and toss. Neither are lethal but they will sure let you know where they are. Lately I've been installing Solar Motion detector lights. They aren't real bright but they will work when the power is off, and easier on the eyes if you use night vision to detect with. .22 firearms are great. Pistol and rifle can use the same small ammo. 500 rounds can be carried in 1 hand verses the other calipers. Naturally semi automatics over single shots, so as to spread enough lead to get away. Compound Bow for quiet, actually though, a recurve would be better, you can remake arrows for it. Crossbows are loud and the bolts are expensive.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Slide dead bolts on doors. Have non electric hand tools for all the major needs. Drill, Saw, Hammer, Well Pump, Siphon Pump, Screw drivers, wrenches. Have at least 3-10 times the lids as you do jars. At least a case of Surejell. 200-300 lbs of Sugar. Know which plants do well in shade, just in case they completely outlaw gardens. Stuff like rattlesnake beans do just as well in shade and drought. They also climb, so they could be planted in the trees. Raw Honey keeps indefinitely and can be used as a preservative. Salt is a necessity, not only for body function but also preserving. Cattle block salt and mineral block salt actually don't taste that bad, lol. We used sea salt but after the spill are switching over to the pink salt. Never white salt. Hand meat grinder and also cast iron pots. 2 good carrying knives, 1 switchblade and one regular pocket knife... throwing knife don't hurt to have either. A real Hatchet, does both hammer and axe jobs. Cast Iron cookware. Cheap battery operated lights in places where electricity isn't.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> If it's winter dig down into the ground about 2 feet or more and make a shelter that is not very tall. Use straw, leaves, whatever is accessible and place rock in the fire, if you have one, and use them to heat with. It only needs to be a little longer and wider than your body or if 2 or more the total number. If you bury something toss a lot of metal in that area, something like washers, to throw off metal detectors. If you can, get an old truck/car that is carbonated with little to no electronics and leave it that way. Have on hand extra spark plugs, points, condenser, fuses, and coil... that should take care of everything except the spare tire(s). </p>
<p> </p>
<p> Most importantly...blend. Have good shoes, extra and different types of shoes if you can. Go wherever people aren't, but not so far you are out of your turf unless you have to. I can't give you hiding secrets past that without divulging where and how I hide. Appear poor and humble, but never vulnerable. Just in case though, learn some techniques for defense. </p> That's too bad about your hea…tag:12160.info,2010-12-25:2649739:Comment:2798732010-12-25T20:24:39.838ZMaryhttps://12160.info/profile/Mary622

<p>New research that I just hear about was silver of all things for aids and malaria etc. But according to my uncle you can't take it with salt. This new cure might just push the price of silver higher, Here is one link I found. <a href="http://news.silverseek.com/SilverSeek/1230561732.php">http://news.silverseek.com/SilverSeek/1230561732.php</a></p>

<p> Thanks for the head's up on the gas, I'll check to see if I can find it. We have some older cars and trucks that have carburetors, 14 to be exact. Yea, my wife could kill me. The other 4 are fuel injected though, that's what we drive normally. The kids have some bikes and we have 1 motorcycle, plus a boat that is older (no electronics). </p>

<p> </p>
<p> We're pretty lucky here as we have prowlers occasionally but most know that I will give them what they need if they ask but taking comes at a risk. 3 people have found that out and it is amazing just how fast word spreads, lol, that's not counting the ones that got into traps. They weren't anything to kill, just hurt a lot and the ones shot were pretty sore for a while. One did apologize to me after he got the shot out of his butt. I really don't look for a Mad Max scenario though, most people seem to be like preNazi Germany and just blindly go along. When they quit the shows that are semi-waking people up the fun will start because they will finish their sleep, going back and questioning the shows they watched. If it does shut down though many who are on medications to live will not last long, and I am included in that group, but it's all good.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> All my seeds are Heirloom seeds from my garden and just 2 places I order (out f being lazy, lol) Baker Creek and Southern Seed Exchange, the latter a bit disappointing on, they added GM seeds. I grew up on a farm so I know which are which. Plus after 1 heart attack and 2 cancers (hopefully 1 cured) I've learned. Thought it was time to and maybe nobody else will suffer it in my family and others, I'm pretty well screwed, my price for not learning and actually applying it over the years.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> Worse case scenario is move the cows back to this 13 acres from their 30, a Jackass protects it and screams out at a prowler. If he misses or they come another way we have peafowl to watch, along with Guineas. I intend on adding another Jackass as soon as I find a Jenny. Maybe some Geese too. Not 100% plan but a plan none the less. We keep a loaded gun in every room, plus bows. Thing is, it will take people working together to stop this, not opposing.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> Often overlooked are shoes. Battles have been lost by shoes, Check, I overlooked the importance of the right kind of salt.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Anyway,</p>

<p>Look up the wood gasification plans that FEMA put out back in like 1981. If you can't find them, let me know and I will post them. I think it may be on my website already. tacticaledge.org on the downloads page.</p>
<p>You can run a carburated truck engine (V-8) for 2 hours on one log. The same principle works for generators. There are a tonne of youtube videos demonstrating this.</p>

<p>I heard that gas, oil will be very hard to come by. All your cars reminded me of this and to pick up a few more bike's and spare tires. I already had a child carrier hooked to the back of one. You know the type that has two wheels in the back and a plastic cover. I suppose it would be good to put supplies it too. Hummm.</p>
<p>I hope your seeds aren't GM so you can keep part of your crop for next year seed. I have some seeds in the freezer but I know I'll need more. </p>

<p>Canning lid seals. I bet they will be in short supply.</p>
<p>Sugar, I have a case of packets and maybe 50 pounds in 10 pound bags. But that would not last very long. I need a lot more. The packets of sugar are for trade.</p>
<p>Packets of condiments too even packets of Maple syrup. </p>
<p>A whole case of Worcestershire sauce to make yucky things taste better. </p>
<p>Cheese, lots of cheese.</p>
<p>I am tempted to take a spare bedroom and make it into storage. I already have two pantries full but gosh I always think of more things one would need. I have a very large dresser stuffed full of noodles, chocolate, bread and muffin mixes that only take water. No eggs or milk.</p>
<p>I need to take inventory of how many canning jars I have and salt for curing. </p>
<p>I don't think there would be much wild life left to hunt after everyone who never stocked up went out looking for fresh meat or just something to eat.</p>
<p>I have a bunch of those $1. door/ window magnet alarms that I think I can use for the pens of animals for intruders looking for food too.</p>
<p>Even now in the small town of just 1,000 people I have had food stolen from my garden in the past. Onions of all things. So if people take things now can you imagine how bad it will be later? I even caught a neighbour stealing my hay. And another I suspect of taking lumber.</p>
<p>Security for you garden and animals it another thing to prepair for. </p>
<p>I was having a problem of gas being stolen and found out who it was after I <span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><b>deliberately</b></span> set out a can of gas mixed full of sugar. </p>
<p>I hope there is still enough time to set up for chickens and get some. I have a shed that I will use but need to clean it out etc. I have always liked the Road Island reds. They seemed to give eggs just about everyday and were more friendly than the whites. we had a white pullet rooster one time that was very mean. He would attack you, going for your face with his spurs. He was killed one day by our landlord I think who was sneaking over every morning and stealing our eggs. I found a well worn path from her house to our chicken coop though the back woods.</p>
<p>Anyway the building I was thinking of using now I was using it for the dogs until the one dog learned how to climb the wire fence I put up around the outside, like a laddershe climbed it to get out. LOL The one dog is a great watch dog. She hates anyone that comes to the door or yard and tries to eat them. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Good idea about buying 2 of everything. Don't forget socks.</p>
<p>I have a old fashion washer out back you know the type with the rollers you run the clothing through to squeeze out the water. I bet I could hook it up to a bike to peddle to make it wash.</p>
<p>Sewing machine, fabric, needle and thread, </p>
<p>Oh I wish I had more help. LOL</p>
<p>But just your ideas are a help and keep my spirits up</p>

Thank you. Yes he never believes me until someone from the outside tell him the same thing I was trying to pass on. Then He comes back and tells me he now believes what I said only because it was confirmed by another. After this happening so often you would think he would have learned by now that Mom is not a nut or in La-la land.

<p>I think it's most kids these days, spouses too. I just ordered a bunch more seeds from 2 places next year. Heaven forbid my wife finds out, I have a whole freezer full now. With the new law I'm about to order what I use in vitamins and herbs (the ones I don't grow). I even took it to the extreme and had a second house, not a big one, but a completely remodeled house, more updated than ours. Came in handy when my oldest lost her house. I had planned on doing the same thing for the other two,…</p>

I even took it to the extreme and had a second house, not a big one, but a completely remodeled house, more updated than ours. Came in handy when my oldest lost her house. I had planned on doing the same thing for the other two, cancer changed all that though.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> I have 1 daughter that helps with the garden, canning, cows, and sheep. Now if I could get her to drive. 2 grandkids that briefly showed an interest in growing, but that ended. At least they're close though, just walk back to our house. The middle one lives with my mom, also a walk back to the house. </p>
<p> </p>
<p> As for ammo, that was first, well kinda. I save my own seeds too. If we lose power I have inverters that can keep 2 freezers running with meat plus the one with seeds and meat. We stock water and other liquid but I also bought a hand pump for the well... just in case. We can and buy in bulk. Just added another 100 lbs of sugar last weekend. Shoes were last year. Everybody got a pair of shoes, kids also got 2 pairs of boots. I have enough parts for each of the vehicles, except for my dad's truck he left me 7 months ago, to rebuild them top to bottom. There are 18 vehicles here now. 7 stay full. Solar and battery lights for outside, even the chicken house, lol. Tobacco to trade with too. Silver, though not much. </p>
<p> </p>
<p> We can but even though I have dehydrators (2) we never use them, wife don't like it. If I need 1, I buy 2. Our pantry is 21 x 13 and it's full, so I will be adding another one this winter, God willing. Meanwhile, I and my youngest daughter are it. My wife jumps on board briefly even so often. Hopefully I will last long enough to do at least one more garden, even more would be better, lol. I think it is a sign of the times.

Sounds like its a combination of society and the way we label people who are prepared like they are nut jobs and since he didn't have to experience it first hand on why he should be prepared its going to be a life lesson learned the hard way maybe? Good thing he has you though.
