10 Ingenious Foods People Ate During Famines

Necessity really is the mother of invention. When famine strikes, and people are hungry, they start looking for unusual sources of food. Most people wouldn’t dream of eating these things today. But, these ten ingenious foods from history prove there are no picky eaters when food is scarce.

What did you do to prep this week?

Well, folks, it’s been a strange week weather-wise in my area… one the first official day of spring we had temperatures below freezing and snow. And it’s still cold! I hate the cold! If Florida wasn’t such a poor choice from a survivability perspective I’d be setting up a survival homestead down there instead of up here in Tennessee aka “The Redoubt Of The East“.

That’s one of the great things about blogging and running an online business is that you can work from anywhere that you have an internet connection. Even out in the boonies....

Does the Family Know?

Written by Wild Bill on The Prepper Journal.

In my planning I am confident that I not only know where everything is but also how everything works in my home, the place I am most likely to encounter a disaster. Useful knowledge when I have to be responsible for myself and anything that might have crawled in when I wasn’t paying attention.

I had a friend who’s neighbors dog had figured out where their dog door was and where their dogs food dish was and would, on a regular basis “drop by” for a free meal since their small dog was always overfed and there was food always in its bowl. A habit I thought only in-laws developed. IAC my Homeowners Insurance Policy states “I am responsible” for all who enter legally.

Yes, like EVERYONE else on the planet I forget things and I have “brain farts” – now where was that thing? But I am better than most as no job is done UNTIL all the tools and materials used are put back where they belong. As a result I have been called “anal” often, and I take pride in this label for that reason. I swear my kids as teenagers used this against me to see how often they could “screw Dad into the ceiling” as a prank. Little time-bombs set by simply moving a tool, or placing it in the wrong drawer of the tool chest. They had it down to a science, and I admit I was wound a little tight on this subject.

So I know all the basics:

  • Water shut off valves (there are always two – at the intake from the city to the house and in that box that is on the cities easement by the curb. Though some contractors are “clever” in disguising the ones on/in the house
  • Electrical panels (locked with a padlock with several keys available)
  • Gas shut off – one at each appliance by code and one at the intake from the city system or the on-property storage tank
  • Alarm systems, motion-sensor light locations, ammo storage, food and water and medical supplies and on and on

But what if I am not there when an emergency occurs, be in somewhat minor – overflowing toilet, to major – a 6.2 earthquake and the smell of natural gas. And I will concede that if the overflowing toilet is on the second floor it changes to major rather quickly.

Well, like most preppers I write things down, take and add pictures to the document, show them to the family, try and keep their attention – “leave your cell phone in your room UNLESS you plan on taking a picture for your own use”, etc. I stress that this is important. I note a toilet has two water sources and the first, connecting it to the water line right there is the “first step” and enough unless this is where the malfunction has occurred. If it is, then the second is here and you need to go directly to it and turn off the water to the whole house. And NOT do this as a prank to your older sister when she is in the shower!

 

Children, boys and girls both, need to be shown these things, as do spouses and roommates. This is probably making most preppers smirk, and is assuredly making every farmer and rancher smirk but urban/suburban kids/people don’t really know these simple things. Live in an apartment? Do you know where to cut these things off? The “I’m not responsible because…” does not cut it in an emergency. Honest. I blame video games, and the cell/mobile phone. And looking for a video on YouTube on how to fix something while it is gushing water or showering sparks is akin to learning to drive a stick-shift while driving yourself to the hospital while you are bleeding to death.

On a visit to my sons new house recently I noted that he did not have the self-closing toilet seats on his toilets, and with two small boys post potty-trained, well, this could be life-altering. So I dragged the kids from their electronic devices, took them to the big-box store and forced them to go through the whole process. Finding the items in the store, picking ones that would work. Paying for them and making it clear that they could have bought two new games for their xBox for the price – you have to speak their language.

Then the fun started. As soon as we got back home their tendency was to head straight for their electronic additions. While it was like keeping kittens in a circle I managed to corral them and make them go through the WHOLE process. Then the shock set in. I sent the oldest, 11 years old, to their fathers tool chest in the garage to get a pair of pliers, and a slot and Phillips screwdriver. Blank stare. I might as well have been speaking Latin, I though about Klingon but they would understand that better than me. So, a diversion to the garage where we went through the tools. Of course, the small computer tools they knew and they could swap out a motherboard or video controller with ease, but had not taken the step to transfer this learning to the larger physical world in which we all exist. In any case I forced them to go through each of the installs, to deal with the “yuck” proper disposal of the replaced seats and then released them back to their virtual world. Now all of those who have read this can be witnesses in future lawsuits over the abuse.

Well, the same process needs to be done with every preppers family, etc. in that they need to know the things you know so they are prepared. Not just the utility and structure things BUT how to use all the supplies in your medical kit properly because YOU may be the one needing medical attention and you may not be conscious to give instructions. Start as simple as a band-aid. When should one be used? Sound silly? In a SHTF world even these will become a sought after commodity, so know when not to waste one. Teach the ABC’s – Airway, Breathing, and Circulation. Once they can recognize how to deal with a wound, minor to yucky to OMG, then move on to how to use a tourniquet. Nothing has been more misused in the movies and on TV that the tourniquet, with the possible exceptions of guns, hunting, and reporting actual news. Sharing the knowledge is ALWAYS the right thing to do. But one caution, know what you are talking about.

 

Stored ammo boxes. I have some. I don’t broadcast their location. They have locks on them, the keys are in my gun safe, who has that combo? At this point only me. They will be useless if family members need them when I am not around for an emergency however the combo is in trust documents that my kids have, I trust them and they do not live with me, and it is buried in the text. I know, anal, but my position is an unloaded firearm is a club that swings poorly compared to a baseball bat, so some of the guns in my safe are ready for use as they sit, all are treated as if they are ready to shoot.

Have a generator for backup power? Does everyone know how to safely use it? How about power tools? Left best to the parents to determine when to introduce these to others, some would be quite useful should you have to hunker down in place or deal with an emergency without the alpha in the picture.

What your family knows can save both them and you.

The primary blunders pupils make in writing a part that is practical of thesis

The primary blunders pupils make in writing a part that is practical of thesis

Read our new article, and you can expect to realize – what exactly is incorrect and just what blunders you will be making in writing a practical chapter of this thesis.

Error # 1. Inconsistency of the concept, conclusion and introduction

The blunder is extensive and tough to pull, as it’s generally required to rewrite the complete practical part, reassemble information, and perform calculations. It is sometimes better to rewrite the idea – if, needless to say, the topic of the ongoing work allows it to. Then in the given example, you can leave practical part by rewriting the theoretical chapter if you are a philologist. Nevertheless, it generally does not always happen.

Inconsistency to the introduction: keep in mind: the practical part is perhaps not written for the reviewer to pay hours learning your calculations of this typical trajectories associated with sandwich dropping. It really is written to resolve the nagging problem posed into the introduction.

Perhaps it really is formalism, but also for the defense that is successful it isn’t a great deal the study you conducted this is certainly crucial, while the rational linking of the research because of the function, tasks and hypothesis placed in the introduction.

The discrepancy amongst the summary: success on paper a practical section in basic is extremely strongly linked with a qualified connection to other areas associated with work. Unfortunately, extremely usually the thesis work is somehow by itself, calculations and practical conclusions – on their particular. Thesis would look incompetent, once the conclusion reports: the goal is achieved, the tasks are fulfilled, and the hypothesis is proved in this case.

Mistake # 2. Inaccuracies within the computations and generalization of useful products

Is two by two equals five? Done well, go and count. It is very unsatisfactory if the error ended up being made could be the start of computations. However, numerous pupils cause them to in order that they “come collectively”. There is certainly a guideline of “do maybe not get caught,” because not totally all reviewers (and supervisors that are scientific will look at your “two by two”. Nonetheless it does not take place after all characteristics. On psychology, as an example, you might pass along with it, however the professional, physics or mathematics should be viewed precisely.

The lack of evaluation, generalization of useful products and conclusions: computations had been made properly, impeccably designed, but there aren’t any conclusions. Well, just do it, think on the calculations done, compare-categorize, analyze and usually utilize the brain not just as a calculator. When you yourself have calculated, for example, the eliteessaywriters plagiarism checker price of a two-week trip to Chukotka also to Antarctica – therefore at compare that is least which a person is less expensive.

Mistake # 3. Confusion and not enough reasoning in explaining the experiments and results

Without a doubt, you realize the reason why you initially obtain a poll using one for the things, after which – a survey on the other side. However for your reader associated with the chapter that is practical the selection among these empirical methods is totally unreadable. Attempt to justify the decision of ways of using useful material. Even worse will be calculations without indicating what exactly is test or an experiment exactly about. The reviewers would need to guess by themselves.

Confusion and not enough reasoning into the information of experiments and their particular results: the part that is practical logically unfold for the reader, showing the image of one’s medical research: through the selection of solutions to acquiring conclusions. Experiments, examinations, or any other empirical works should continue in a sequence that is logical.

Lack of useful need for the carried out analysis: usually do not force the reviewer to believe thoughtfully throughout the good reasons why was he reading all this work. It might be wondering to evaluate some thing, however it will never provide you with to systematic and results that are practical. But, such work may not attain the analysis, since many most likely, it can fail on so-called pre-defense.

The Perfect Survival Food: How To Cook Pinto Beans Fast!

By anonymous bean

cooking-pinto-beansCooking pinto beans begins with sorting. The reason for sorting is mainly to make sure the beans are free from rocks. Many people also like to pick out the beans that are darker or odd shaped although those beans will not hurt you.

To begin sorting, pour a few cups of beans onto a table. Sit at the table in front of the beans with a pan or bowl large in your lap that is large enough to fit all of the beans that are on the table. Scoot beans from the edge of the table to the pan or bowl, removing any rocks or anything else that you see that needs to be removed.

Why are DC officials flocking to ‘doomsday camps’?

Washington D.C. government officials are reportedly flocking to ‘doomsday camps’ around the country. Col. Drew Miller, CEO of Fortitude Ranch and a retired Air Force colonel, provides insight on ‘The Story.’

Interesting, however, reading of TheSurvivalistBlog.net are setting up their own “doomsday camps” at their homes via home storage, small homesteads, family, friends, and neighbors. In my openion these types of places would quickly turn into something resembling a prison camp on the inside and targets from the outside.
