Vehicles As Weapons

Written by Wild Bill on The Prepper Journal.

As most of you who follow the news already know there was a vehicle attack in Toronto this past Monday. Reported a ten people killed and 15 injured in the initial report, updated on Thursday to nine killed. This is just the latest in what has become a convenient weapon of choice for the lone wolf, or so the media would have you believe, that has been employed world-wide in the past few years.

No politician and no public official is ever going to state that these are anything other than random acts of madmen, and perhaps, by some miracle, or some stretch of logic, they are, but one needs to understand the realities of these attacks to understand if we can be prepared should we face such a situation.

Molasses in Winter

The average speed some one can run: While scientists claim 40 mph may be achievable I choose to stick with the established fact that the world’s fastest runner, Usain Bolt, was clocked at “nearly” 28 mph in the 100-meter sprint. Bo Jackson once ran the 40 yard dash in 4.13 seconds, the fasted recorded to date. But drag them out to the 100 yards or a mile and the speed virtually disappears. Marathon runners can average 8.8 mph for 26.2 miles. Best information available is the average human jogs at about 8 mph, and sprints at 10.2 mph and of course distance is the great variable, as well as physical condition, terrain, age, an obstacles – like things and other people.

To get a comparison the average cycling speed is estimated at 9.6 mph and, in a race, a reasonably fit rider can ride at 25 mph on flat surface.

No match for any motorized vehicle driven by a human (RC cars don’t count.) So the reality is always that your self as a physical being is the best thing you can work on to be prepared but ones limits are pretty much defined. You are not, in spite of what you have seen in the movies, going to outrun a vehicle intent on hitting you. Dodge, weave and hide behind things, sure, but that assumes an awareness of the situation and an awareness of your surroundings, and the option to find things to weave around and hide behind and time to react.

So What Can We Do?

Avoiding crowds and crowded places – not realistic, probably not possible unless you already live on the edge of the grid.

Making mental health a tribunal-level judgement that limits ones freedoms?  By who? Who is qualified to be the judge? I have had the misfortune to have three mental health professionals as relatives in my life so far and I’ll pass on their judgement and qualifications to make even simple choices. This buys into the mentality that we “can make the world safe” if only “__________”! (Fill in the blank with you own personal choices.) Realists know that making the world a safe place in an unattainable goal generally. My goal here is not to answer your questions, I am unqualified to do that, but to make you think of questions and work out how you will respond and react presented with this new (?) threat as vehicles have been used as weapons through their existence.

Vehicle bombs can be complicated, or they can be simple. As any military vet of the more recent wars in Iraq and Afghanistan can tell you the use of IED (improvised explosive devices) has come a long way for the days of Viet Nam – In Viet Nam the military jeeps had the gas tank under the drivers seat, you actually lifted the drivers seat up to refuel the vehicles. The Viet Cong figured this out and used it as a weapon early on. The gas tank opening would accommodate a frag grenade so if you pulled the pin but left the handle on and used plain old scotch tape to keep the handle in place, you simply dropped this into the gas tank. It would take a couple of hours before the gasoline ate away the scotch tape and bingo, wherever the jeep happened to be at that moment.

Another cute trick was using a flare round from the old style flare pistols. You could disassemble the old rounds, duck tape the magnesium package which has a self-contained oxidizer made of potassium chlorinate to a gas tank and then wrap the parachute around an axle. A few revolutions and the ignited gets set off by the pull, like the jerk of the parachute when it is in normal use. Modern rounds do not “facilitate” this any longer, but many other available igniters do.

Bank robbers along the other side of our Southern border had a favorite. They would put explosives in an old vehicle attached to a 12v battery but not close the circuit – wire it to both terminals. Normally on the floor in the front seat and then set the back seat on fire and call the fire department. First thing firemen did was douse the vehicle with water, hopefully completing the circuit by soaking the battery terminals with water and “boom” – injured firefighters, police rushing to the scene, and then they would rob a bank on the other side of town. Sound far fetched? The fail-safe is the fire would eventually achieve a similar effect.

But now, with a valid drivers license, something some states pass out like the free mints at a restaurants hostess station, and a valid credit card – for sale at every Walmart for cash, and you have rented a potential weapon. No distinguishing marks, no smoking fuse, other than the driver, no rifle barrels pointed out the window and 4,000+ pound at 6′ wide and 7′ tall, most capable of accelerating from a normal street speed to 60+ mph in seconds. From a clinical point of view, this is an excellent weapon. Inexpensive, leaves a cold/close trail,

and if you survive you just walk away, and in most gun-free zones this is a possibility if for not the off-duty police officer or the on-duty policemen, moments away. The reality is that in the case of most on-duty policeman they are moments away when seconds count. And these incidents take only seconds.

So what are your opinions? I would like to know what the community thinks as to possible courses of actions or preventative measures. If this is more organized that the media wants you to believe then constantly looking over your shoulder is certainly the result these perpetrators want as a result. The fear, the uneasiness. While this may sound extreme, is this a rational to be used for autonomous vehicles? Another kink in our rights as we give up another freedom for a possible safety? Bad trade in the authors opinion. Reasonable due diligence and situation awareness are what I have come up with, and you?

Teach Us How to Fish – Educating on The Prepper Lifestyle

Written by Guest Contributor on The Prepper Journal.

Editors Note: Another guest contribution from valknut79 to The Prepper Journal. The views expressed herein are those of the writer, unedited except for the added pictures to drive home points. As always, if you have information for Preppers that you would like to share and be entered into the Prepper Writing Contest with a chance to win one of three Amazon Gift Cards  with the top prize being a $300 card to purchase your own prepping supplies, then enter today!

I was lucky enough to win the last round of the Prepper Writing Contest supported by this site. I have been contributing articles to the site for about a year now, having been involved in the prepper lifestyle for about six years. I have contributed close to 20 articles since the I began, receiving both high praise and harsh criticism for my views on preparedness (something that will, I’m sure, happen to anyone who contributes to such a vocal and opinionated field such as this). Winning the last contest was a great boon to me, and while I certainly appreciate the prize money, the rewards of being voted on, and knowing that it was my opinions and research that inspired people to choose my work, was the real prize here.

My job for a living is teaching, and as summer is around the corner, it is a time of reflection over the school year that is now passing us by. One reflection in particular that has struck me is the need for building of community. With rampant violence in schools across the nation, a mental health crisis among teens, a consistent drop-out rate, and an adult population that has a political party-line schism like never before in my lifetime, signs are everywhere that our country cannot survive into the future with things as they are.

In the last few years, we’ve seen the rise of the liberal prepper, a great increase in the popularity of our lifestyle thanks in part to the Doomsday Prepper show, and more mainstream visibility, if not acceptance.

What are preppers like you doing to welcome new people into the hobby? What are you doing to teach others how to live?

Many will say that in asking these questions, I’m forgetting a very basic principle of preparedness. A lot of preppers believe that being in prepping is a lot like being in Fight Club. Preppers don’t tell others, even fellow preppers, about what they’ve been doing around the house to increase the size of their food and water storage. We try to disguise our property and lean-to shelters to prevent their discovery. I’ve seen people who believe that it is best to even garden in such a way as to disguise the fact that their collection of plants is meant to be a sustainable food source. Preppers are so secretive about prepping that isolation and secrecy are core tenets of what they do.

Nothing I have to say is going to dispute that in many cases, this is the proper technique. Some level of secrecy is important in a lifestyle like this. If everyone at my school knew of my life as a prepper, when an emergency situation occurs, some 2,000 families might end up on my doorstep looking for handouts.

If, however, I were to teach one or two basic preparedness techniques to each of those 2,000 families, how many fewer would come knocking at my door? With 2,000 families a little more prepared, maybe even just to the FEMA recommended three days of food stored in cupboards, my community would be in much less dire straits. If a few can store enough to survive a flood, while others remember how to start fires, or others find an excuse to go emergency camping with a bug out bag, thoes people would be safe, and maybe not coming to find me to save them.

A common hobby in preparedness circles is to play a “what if” game of scenarios. What if the power grid collapses? We have no electricity, and those who cannot build a fire may be frozen to death during the depths of winter. What if the government collapses? Those without weapons will become targets for roving bandits. In the most common of the “what if” scenarios I’ve been asked about, we see someone coming to your front door, asking for help. Many people answer the question by simply turning the stranger away. Others have suggested inviting them in and showing bare pantries, hiding the actual cache of food somewhere else in the house. Others have suggested holding cans of rotten, poisoned or spoiled food, and giving those away as a deterrent to future attack. My suggestion is that the best answer to this question of what to do may be to preempt the situation entirely: remove the majority of the door knockers in the first place.

Imagine volunteering for a summer camp experience where you teach young teens how to build a fire using a ferro rod. It can be a one-shot deal, or you could become a camp counselor for the whole two-week session and potentially make a a little money. Many of those kids will think that what you did is really cool, and will forget what to do before they even make it to dinner, but one of those young people might start carrying their pocket knife on a daily basis, and replace their pukka shell necklace with a ferro rod and striker. You have instilled self-reliance in a young person, and created one less pop culture zombie of the future, turning a potential door-knocker into someone who has a modicum of skill and a love of a few of the gateways to prepper culture.

Libraries offer seminar series, and are always striving to find new volunteers willing to speak on almost any topic. Disaster preparedness, especially in the wake of a major earthquake, flood, or other newsworthy event, makes for a well-attended seminar. It’s a chance for you not only to get the word out about basic preparedness, but to make a friend in the audience, and again persuade some families to keep a few boxes of ramen noodles and water bottles in the pantry if nothing else.

Community involvement doesn’t need to stop there. Our community recently invested in a community composting pile near our community gardens. This small step towards ecology will hopefully teach future generations of gardeners about their ability to create natural, sustainable fertilizer sources for their garden, and maybe inspire some to start the same frugal and ecologically responsible practices at home. Sponsoring projects like this in your local community is certainly at the top of the difficulty ladder, but would perhaps make the greatest impact.

If nothing else, I think a good place to start is in writing an article in an area of specialization that you have, and submitting it to this website. I write a number of logistical planning pieces and “top ten” style lists for the site, and other contributors add their information about firearms, gardening, budgeting and bartering, or basic preparedness, but there is so much more that could be gleaned from the site if a number of other authors began contributing on different topics (even if it does make it harder on my winning the writing contest again).

Teaching and community involvement is not something that comes easily to a community that prides itself on secrecy, self-reliance, bluffing, and a certain level of treachery. It goes to show by the fact that, despite having one of the most common real names in America, and basically being unfindable on a google search of my full name, that I write my articles using a pen name. If I were to instead just put my name out there, I could sleep tight at night knowing that I’ll never be truly found, but old habits die hard. Getting active and involved in your community, teaching others about the frugal, independent and mindful lifestyle of preparedness is, in a lot of ways, the ultimate prep. It means that your neighbors will be willing to help you in a shortage, because they have, in their own way, prepared for at least a little of what is to come. It’s the final step that we need to survive as a country, as a community, and as a collective of individuals, and something that I hope you all consider.

Urban Preppers: Five Things You Should Know About Community Gardens

Written by Guest Contributor on The Prepper Journal.

Editors Note: A guest contribution from Sarah to The Prepper Journal. All things garden and growing your own food this week as planting time is upon us.  And, as always, if you have information for Preppers that you would like to share and be entered into the Prepper Writing Contest with a chance to win one of three Amazon Gift Cards  with the top prize being a $300 card to purchase your own prepping supplies, then enter today!

Community gardens have grown globally in recent years, from 1960’s onward. Perhaps, this is due to the growing number of us living in skyscrapers in cities, with little opportunity to take in the fresh air and get our hands dirty. Or perhaps it is because, in an increasingly digital world, we long for something to bring us together in the real world. Regardless of the reason why, community gardens have become more popular, and here are five things you need to know about them.

What is a Community Garden?

A community garden is any plot of land that is used by a number of people, either by separating the plot into individual lots or sharing the plot as one large lot, for gardening.

There are many community gardens across the world, and most are used as:

• Gathering places
• Showcases for ecological and art awareness, and
• Food production

More European-style gardens consist of allotments where individuals or families can grow their own food or flowers, although these have normally evolved from “victory gardens” from the Second World War.

Plot sizes can vary from as tiny as 1.5 squared meters (4’ 9” x 4’ 9”) in inner city gardens or art gardens to as large as 15 squared meters (49’ x 49’).

Communal gardens have a variety of uses, such as:

• Providing green space
• Providing habitats for smaller creatures
• Growing flowers rather than food
• Providing education to local schools
• Providing gardens for those who otherwise wouldn’t have a garden, such as the homeless, the elderly or recent immigrants.

The Right Gardening Tools

Before getting started in gardening, it’s important to have the right tools. This will make your time much more productive, and could actually be beneficial to your health! How many of us remember our moms and dads digging out flower beds or weeding the garden, and then being full of aches and pains for a few days? It all comes down to having the right tools.

You shouldn’t have to worry too much about heavy machinery. Most community gardens will supply training and guidance on using specialized tools. In one garden I recently visited, they even had a community table saw to build fences and wooden containers! In others, I’ve also seen that they provide access to a lawn mower for large plots with plenty of grass, and chainsaws or tree pruners for plots with large trees.

However, you should still have a variety of your own tools best suited to your own needs, such as:

• A reliable string trimmer, if your garden doesn’t allow for “free growing” and prefers the look of neatly trimmed yards with food or flowers growing within
• A heavy-duty garden brush, to clean up any mess you would make on paths etc
• A rake, to help you spread evenly compost or soil
• A composter or rubbish bin, although there may be a community composter or bin you can use
• Garden clothing such as boots or gardening gloves
• A bird feeder or table, to give the surrounding nature a helping hand
• Plant food, grass seed, bark or compost depending on what you would like to use your plot for
• Pest control or weed killer, although some gardens do not allow you to use chemicals
• Starter plants or seeds
• Depending on the weather in your country, you may need your own hose, but this could be provided.

You don’t have to have everything on this list, or you may think of other things you might want. The important thing is to get out there and have a great time.

Types of Gardens

There are four main types of gardens, which are:

Neighborhood Gardens – The most common garden, where people work together to grow fruits and vegetables. The plots inside them are usually rented for a small fee.

Residential Gardens – These gardens are used by the people in block communities, assisted living and affordable housing in cities or towns. They are organised and maintained by the people living there.

 

Institutional Gardens – These are attached to public businesses such as hospitals or private communities like prisons to improve mental health and physical health as well as providing skills for employment.

Demonstration Gardens – These have educational purposes, and often offer classes about gardening, and can help in setting up a community garden.

Administration of Community Gardens

Most community gardens are:

• Inclusive
• Diverse
• Pro-democracy
• Community-driven

But all gardens have an organization structure of some kind. This depends on whether the garden is “top down” e.g. a management team at the top, or “grass roots” e.g. the individual members make the decisions. Either way, you’ll find one that suits your style.

Health Benefits

Everyone knows that keeping physically active helps keep us healthy. However, community gardens have also been linked to various factors such as:

• Reduced rates of obesity
• Availability of affordable fruits and vegetables
• Consumption of fruits and vegetables

So there you have it, community gardens are great for you, your family, your community, and the local wildlife. So if you haven’t joined a garden yet, why not do it now?

Orchestrate Your Orchard for Success

Written by Guest Contributor on The Prepper Journal.

Editors Note: A guest contribution from Nigel to The Prepper Journal. With Spring even breaking across our norther border with Canada the time to be doing this is NOW, or as soon as possible anyway. And, as always, if you have information for Preppers that you would like to share and be entered into the Prepper Writing Contest with a chance to win one of three Amazon Gift Cards  with the top prize being a $300 card to purchase your own prepping supplies, then enter today!

Orchards are a great way to get ready for long-term survival. They are sturdier than most crops, and don’t need to be replanted. They can offer a large amount of produce for a relatively low input of energy, and the options are broad in most climates.

Especially in cold areas, orchards can provide food that supplies vital nutrients and keeps longer than most vegetables. Apples, for instance, can be wrapped in newspaper, straw or other carbon-based material and stored for months on end without losing their flavor and nutritional value. Stored fruit easily can or cook down for a flavorful addition to the potentially meager meals of winter. Fruit from your own orchard can be a great addition to your other food stores.

By planting a variety of types of trees in your orchard, you reduce the risk of losing most or all of your crop if a parasite or dry spell occurs. Dwaft trees in your orchard can mean that you get more varieties in a small space and also extend your harvest season. Having a variety of fruits will prevent boredom, too.

Caring for a Variety of Fruit Trees

While it is nice to have the variety, peaches, pears, apples, cherries, and nectarines all have different needs. If you are further south, you might have citrus trees that are even more specific in their care. Most people know to trim their trees back slightly in the fall. You should also clean up any fallen fruit- if it is diseased or develops certain fungi, it can “mummify” and infect your trees in the spring. You should also clean up leaves, especially if you have cool summers- leaves can keep mold and fungus spores alive over winter.

In the spring, there is a little more work to do.

Nutrition

Now is the time to add compost and reinforce your tree wells. Fish and tea compost is beneficial at this early stage of the game, although shredded leaves and trimmings are also helpful. Be sure not to apply this too thick, or it can instigate mold issues.

You can also apply copper or neem oil to trees at this time. Coat the leaves and branches alike in an even layer. This will go a long way towards preventing disease and insect infestation.

Fruit from the previous season shouldn’t be used as fertilizer. You might use it for your vegetable garden. However, when applied to the type of tree it came from, mummified fruit is likely to start disease or encourage insects to move in.

Protection

The simplest first step is to whitewash the trunks of your fruit trees. They were protected from the stronger summer rays of the sun in the previous year, but the spring can be difficult. The lack of thick shading from leaves opens up trunks and larger branches to sunburn. You can use a traditional paint or you can use specially formulated or homemade paint. The goal is to add a physical barrier between the trunk and the sun.

You should also use this time to trim away any diseased or damaged wood. Shoots near the base can harbor borers, which will kill an orchard in a short amount of time. Dying wood can also hold disease and should be removed.

Pruning and Trimming: Emergency Cutting

With the exception of peaches, fruit trees should be trimmed and pruned during the dormant season. However, taking care of any “emergency pruning” in spring is essential to the success of any tree. Taking a day to trim away any wayward growth in the spring can increase your harvest by almost double, because energy and nutrition aren’t being redirected to unnecessary branches and offshoots instead of your fruit.

Only allow growths at strong angles to grow. Branches at very wide or narrow angles invite splitting due to fruit weight or weather later on, and make it difficult for fruit to hang in such a way that the greatest number can reach maturity. Aim for angles of 10 or 2 o’ clock, with the main trunk being 12 on the clock.

Similarly, if you are allowing buds to grow, stay within an inch of the bud. If you cut a branch down too close to the bud, it will likely grow in an unwanted direction. You will then have to trim it, losing both your original branch and the desired bud. If you cut too far from the bud, the branch will grow back, eating up resources the tree could use elsewhere.

Finally, trim at the point where a sprout is aimed in the direction you desire. It will continue to grow in this direction. Using these general guidelines will provide optimum shaping.

In case of a power outage, the best pruning tools are either a manual pruner saw or gas-powered pole saw. Electric tools require the additional, fuel-wasting step of a generator were there a disaster- your fuel will last longer than a power plant will likely stay on. Gas-run pruners and saws make your work easy without gambling that they could be rendered essentially useless with one outage. However, if you have an alternative electricity source like solar power you may opt for an electric pole saw option.

Pruning and Trimming: Peach Trees

Peach trees will need a stronger saw, as their wood is fairly dense. However, the rules for cutting back and shaping peach trees is very similar to other fruit trees. Aim for 10 or 2 o’clock angles, cut an inch from the bud, and cut in the direction you desire growth.

Peach trees are unique in that if you cut them before they bud, their production will suffer. Winter pruning signals distress to a peach tree, and it will divert resources to fixing this “problem” rather than growing fruit. Instead, waiting until spring means the tree has already begun the start of the fruiting process (budding) and will more readily accept pruning.

Mulching

Again resist the temptation to use trimmings from your pruning days as compost material. You should similarly avoid adding leaves from your trees, unless they are thoroughly broken down. Otherwise, you create a breeding ground for diseases that can wipe out a tree or an orchard.

Instead, use a chipper mulcher to chip completely dry pruning. These can be placed around the tree to help it retain moisture in the summer. Leave a space between the trunk and the mulch of a few inches at least, so that you do not smother the tree or encourage mold.

Starting or Expanding an Orchard

When starting or expanding an orchard it can be tempting to plan the seeds of fruit that you have on hand. Maybe the seeds of fruit you purchased from the market or even from one of your existing trees. This can be hit and miss and is not usually advisable. Modern day fruit trees are a Frankenstein’s monster of different hybrids and often a graft of a good fruit baring variety on a different but good hardy root system variety. If you are new to fruit trees it is easier to buy and plant them as bare rooted fruit trees. If you want a DIY approach to propagating fruit trees you may want to learn about grafting.

Grafting

Grafting can increase your orchard’s pollination options and increase fruiting success. Grafting different varieties to an existing tree can also give you a wider variety of flavor options in your harvest. However, grafts need a clean cut. The smoother and more even the branch stem and the adjoining graft are, the more likely they are to succeed. While your sugar or sap glue mixture will connect the two parts, a greater contact surface area means a higher rate of success.

Overall, your spring work will likely require about a day for each five to ten trees you have. Larger trees take more time, so plan accordingly. It is important to do this before the last frost but after budding, so plan accordingly.
