From a Sarajevo War Survivor:
Experiencing horrible things that can happen in a war - death of parents and
friends, hunger and malnutrition, endless freezing cold, fear, sniper attacks.

1. Stockpiling helps. but you never no how long trouble will last, so locate
    near renewable food sources.
2. Living near a well with a manual pump is like being in Eden.
3. After awhile, even gold can lose its luster. But there is no luxury in war
   quite like toilet paper. Its surplus value is greater than gold's.
4. If you had to go without one utility, lose electricity - it's the easiest to
   do without (unless you're in a very nice climate with no need for heat.)
5. Canned foods are awesome, especially if their contents are tasty without
    heating. One of the best things to stockpile is canned gravy - it makes a lot of
    the dry unappetizing things you find to eat in war somewhat edible. Only needs
    enough heat to "warm", not to cook. It's cheap too, especially if you buy it in
    bulk.
6. Bring some books - escapist ones like romance or mysteries become more
    valuable as the war continues. Sure, it's great to have a lot of survival
    guides, but you'll figure most of that out on your own anyway - trust me, you'll
    have a lot of time on your hands.
7. The feeling that you're human can fade pretty fast. I can't tell you how many
    people I knew who would have traded a much needed meal for just a little bit of
    toothpaste, rouge, soap or cologne. Not much point in fighting if you have to
    lose your humanity. These things are morale-builders like nothing else.
8. Slow burning candles and matches, matches, matches

Nobody has mentioned denture adhesive. Think how valuable that would be to someone with dentures. Antibiotics would also be most valuable. Note these can be obtained from your local co-op, and they require no prescription, and are fairly cheap. They are called aquatic-biotics, but are the same thing as the amoxicillin, and penicillin. I also have picked up a finger saw and a tiny fold out stove with cans of fuel,(stove was roughly ten bucks and fuel was a buck fifty a can). Fuel is supposed to last up to two hours. This place I went was also selling MRE's for seventy two dollars a case. Picked up some Mylar blankets and an escape, evade, and rescue manual, just for good reading material. I also picked up five hundred and fifty pound test parachute cord in hundred foot lengths. I also got a mil**ry issue web gear utility harness and belt all in one. This has many pockets and snaps to carry gear in case traveling in a hurry is required. This was kind of pricey but well worth the money.

Great list! Also if you've got the extra pocket change, buy a defibrillator. Most run on a single 9v battery and will easily fit in a backpack. I bought a defibtech for about $1,100.00

Get two cheap socket/ratchet sets (Metric-Standard) for fix-it situations, along with screwdrivers, hammer, pliers, pipe wrench, carpenter's saw, hack saw,etc. Electrical tape. Wedges were on the big list, meaning wood splitting wedges, which would require a sledge hammer as well. Minimum of two wedges.

It has recently came to mind also that one could do with a goodly amount of salt.

Not only as a seasoning but also as a meat preservative, not to mention a trade good.

I happen to have the perfect opportunity to check on large amounts of salt the other day and it is still very reasonable in priced to me. The bags I looked at were 25 lb. bags for around $4.00.

Now back to the meat preservative. You can put one cup of salt to one gallon of water in a wooden barrel and as long as the meat stays submerged it will remain preserved. Take out what you need submerge the rest again, wash off what you out and cook. Almost any kind of meat can be done this way.

I plan on about a thousand lbs.

Oh and by the way if your wondering how do you store that much salt? My way is to put it in five gallon buckets. Make sure you have a tight fitting lid and inside make a tunnel in whatever is in the bucket. Inside the tunnel put some tin foil made in the same tunnel shape. Then inside this tin foil tunnel put a tea candle lit.

Now close the lid tight, when the flame goes out all of the oxygen is gone. Wala. Do this each time the bucket is opened and your stuff will be dry any air free.

Here at our local farm store: http://www.tractorsupply.com salt can be purchased in 50# blocks or bags for less than $4. Same salt as in the grocery except not iodized, but will work fine for most salt usages. There are a lot of uses for salt even beyond what's listed. An absolute necessity.

Beware because in many brands salt has been fluorized

Dear friends. It's useless. Don't waste time and money trying to save something not worth it (your carcass). Rather pray hard to Yeshua for the salvation of your soul.

Are you part of the 40 Days of Prayer For The Nation?

FORTY DAYS OF PRAYER

I am asking the Christians and Jews of America to join us in 40 days of prayer for this Presidential election.

These 40 days of prayer will begin on September 28, 2012, and end on ELECTION DAY.

You can do it individually or in groups, but prayer is the most powerful force God has given us to bring our nation back to righteousness. Mark it on your calendar, and start telling your family, friends, and church members NOW about the 40 days of prayer.

Sincerely,

Pastor John Hagee

Cornerstone Church, San Antonio, TX.

If my people, which are called by my name,

shall humble themselves, and pray, seek my face,

and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear

from heaven, and will forgive their sin,

and will heal their land.

2 Chronicles 7:14
