100 Gallons of Water Storage

With all the chaos in the last few months, you should be making plans for at least 3 days of water and food. Water is paramount to survival. You can live without food, but you can’t live without water.

If there is an emergency, you will need an immediate way to store water, and have access. This is a handy way to store 100 gallons of water in your bathtub for any use including rehydrating your storage food. Don’t be without water for your family and your pets.

100 Gallons
  • Disposable! One time use only!
  • Holds 100 gallons of fresh drinking water
  • Keeps water fresh for up to 12 weeks
  • Attaches to faucet, fills in minutes and includes pump to dispense water

Are You Being Recorded?

cyber-securityMy last post spoke about Cyber Attacks. I hope you enjoyed the video.

There was an interesting article about how you can be spied upon from your devices. Here is an excerpt from Wired.com:
How to Keep the NSA From Spying Through Your Webcam

“Sadly, covering your camera still won’t prevent spies, intruders and even web sites and phone apps from surreptitiously turning on the internal microphone on your computer or mobile phone, computer, or VoIP phone and listening in on conversations.

Muting the mic won’t work, since it’s possible for an intruder to unmute it. Your best defense is probably to insert a dummy plug into the microphone jack to prevent sound from being picked up by the internal mic. You can create a dummy plug by simply cutting off the unneeded portion of an old microphone plug. This won’t prevent someone from listening to your conversations when you need the mic, such as when using Skype, but it will at least thwart them from using the microphone on their own without you knowing.”

We are all tied to our devices and the newest technology and their convenience in our lives. HOWEVER, be wise. Take precautions now that you know how vulnerable you are to outside ears, so-to-speak.

John McAfee was on the Alex Jones Channel. He spoke about his free App that you can download to get some protection. You can watch the video below, learn about the App, and find out how you can download it.

Until next time-Stay safe & stay prepared,.

God bless,

Cyber Attacks-Opening Pandora’s Box

 

Do you have a a smart refrigerator, smart thermostat, some commonly purchased big screen TVs, etc.? The device may be listening to your conversations or you could be hacked, spied upon, or have your internet or electric come down without warning.

We haven’t had a major cyber attack. However we could, and it could put everyone at risk. It is a very real possibility that we all have to be aware of it now in order to prepare.

There is a gentleman who was interviewed by Larry King. As is brought up in the conversation, we are clueless as to cyber technology and what the capabilities are. One comment, ” If you want to have a private conversation, don’t have it front of your TV.” Wow! They actually do mention a brand name on the video.

The interview is of John McAfee, the tech expert and creator of the McAfee anti-virus program of which we are all familiar. Yes, he is considered by many to be an eccentric and controversial if you watched Dateline. However, he has incredible expertise over many years that gives a candid, unique perspective in the video below of what we are facing now and could face in the future. Watch the video and … be in the know!

Be ready for anything,
John

You Need Survival Assurance

Most people have life insurance, car insurance, business insurance, home insurance, etc. It is time to get Survival Assurance: Food, stored water, books on preparedness, batteries, flashlights, and so much more.

What do you exactly need? Are you at a loss as to where to start? Most people are.

There is a book I cam across that will give you a great start on the basics-Dare to Prepare. It will give you a guideline as to how to ensure you and your family’s security and safety during an emergency.

The government is preparing and telling us to do the same. The book is a wise investment for very little money.

Have a great day,
John

 

67 chapters are dedicated to step-by-step preparation in simple English, much of which you will find nowhere else, as well as personal anecdotes. Dare To Prepare is not just a compilation of lists; it is the blueprint for how Holly and Stan Deyo organize their home. All the information you need to store provisions long and short-term is included besides detailed instructions of long-forgotten skills that’s fun for the entire family. Lot of options are given to make your planning as flexible and personalized as possible.( From Description)

Great Portion of the US Population Is in Cities!

skyscraper-The graphic I chose for my header for now is a major city. People live on top of one another in so many cities. Here is a bit of a rundown of population stats:

1) New York City (8,104,079)

2) Los Angeles City (3,845,541)

3) Chicago City (2,862,244)

4) Houston City (2,012,626)

5) Philadelphia City (1,470,151)

6) Phoenix City (1,418,041)

7) San Diego City (1,263,756)

8) San Antonio City (1,236,249)

9) Dallas City (1,210,393)

10) San Jose City (904,522) so if there should be a natural disaster
Taken from citymetrics.com

So if there should be a natural or man-made disaster, being prepared is just a wise thing to do when you live in a highly populated area. Get to know your neighbors. Get to know who you can dogcount on as friends. Be aware of seniors in your buildings and see if they need anything.  Our natural tendency is to stick to ourselves; however, as so many things happen keeping track of one another will become important.

And, don’t forget to be prepared if you have pets. Our little friends/family members will need food and water, too.

Stay happy-Stay safe,
John

Water, Water Everywhere and Not a Drop to Drink!

hurricane-katrina-180538_640Hi-This is a photo from Katrina. Floods, devastation… photos most of us have seen before.

It was a natural disaster that can happen again anywhere. What can you do when you need potable water and it is no where to be found?

There is a solution, and it is quite reasonable. Get a Berkey! You may be the only source of drinkable water for neighbors who need potable water if there is an emergency such as shown to the left.

You can live without food for days if you have to do so. You cannot live without water.

Check this out:
Big Berkey

You can store 100 gallons of water in your bathtub to have immediate access to filter with your Berkey or to have for hygiene purposes.

Easy storage until you need it.

 

Be prepared!

The RNC Has Started!

The news is full of posts and You Tube videos regarding the Republican convention. Tempers rose yesterday and feelings are being aired on both sides. It should be an interesting week.

More sad news of police killed in Baton Rouge. Turkey went through a failed coup attempt and the after effects are being suffered. Yellowstone has been acting up and getting hotter, and there is so much more around the world.

Be prepared, Friends. Store up some water and at least a couple weeks of food. You will need water to reconstitute most storage food. So, please be aware of this. Canned foods with pop lids can be handy if you need something in a hurry.

I will go into more needed information regarding items you will want to have on hand like toilet paper. In Venezuela, toilet paper is getting to be so expensive. However, if you are like me, it is an important asset!:)

Seeds are good to have because if they are non-GMO, you can sprout them in a sprouter for fresh food at any time even if you live in an apartment or city condo. A small growing bed on a concrete patio or a grow bed and grow light overhead in-doors will suffice to encourage growth for the larger seeds. Something fresh with live enzymes is healthy for your family in times of stress.

Talk with you soon,

John

 

 

Millions of Dollars Being Spent on Upcoming Political Convention Security

Can you imagine? Federal spending for the Republican Convention security of fifty million dollars is being spent of security for just one of the political conventions this month to offset Cleveland’s costs.

There should be a light coming on in your head that just as a precaution-just as a safety net for your family, it is well to consider being prepared for any emergency that could happen.

I am not an alarmist. I am just practical-very practical. And when it comes to family and what they need to survive everyday, I am passionate. I am sure that you feel the same way if you are on my site.

I have access to a few books that would come in handy for anyone to have on hand. Get them now. I will recommend more, but this is a start for you.

Watch the little video on the following page. Stuff is happening like the shootings this past week that has everyone concerned. However, is there more? Find out for yourself.

Little video…

Watch, take to heart, stay safe, and pray for a safe & peaceful RNC!

What’s Happening May Surprise You!

Things are changing all over America.

It has nothing to do with the economy. And, if you care about your safety… Please, stop what you’re doing right now, and take the time to watch the short un-aired news report video with the door shut from the link below.

It’s the ONLY video that reveals the true extent of a disaster of biblical proportions that is unfolding right now…

Many are well aware of the scale of threat. In fact, the humanitarian disaster about to unfold is just the beginning  of a bigger picture.

Stage two, however, will really make your blood boil… I wish this was a joke. Unfortunately it isn’t. It’s deadly serious and, frankly, hard to believe. Your area will be impacted in the future no matter where you live simply because you, your family, and everyone else needs food!
>> Watch shocking video <<

Its important!

Till next time,
John

P.S. Some of America’s richest people are already spending hundreds of thousands of dollars to prepare for this… And when you watch this underground news report you’ll understand why.

Things Are Shaking Up!

wall-streetFrom all indications, things are seriously shaking up around the world. The biggest news this week-The Stock Market! People are becoming concerned and thinking about their savings, investments, and their retirement and social security, or the lack thereof. Experts are telling people to get prepared for any emergency that could ensue.

Weather changes from droughts in California to flooding in Texas and other areas, is making everyone become more aware of getting their homes supplied with everything from extra food and water to candles and generators. It is time to begin thinking of exactly what you need to have on hand.

I will be posting ideas, suggestions, and products to have on hand on this website. Don’t be like an ostrich and stick your head in the sand thinking that this all may not affect you.

The weather this winter may be a bit different than what you have experienced in the past. If for no other reason, be ready for the winter coming up.

We’ll talk more next time.

God bless,
Lynn
