CODY LUNDIN: outdoor survival,  primitive living skills, and urban preparedness courses

Survival skills Survival skills are techniques a person may use in a dangerous situation (e.g. natural disasters) to save themselves or others. These techniques are meant to provide basic necessities for human life: water, food, shelter, habitat, the ability to think straight, to signal for help, to navigate safely, to avoid unpleasant interactions with animals and plants, and cure any present injuries. Survival studies have shown that those who adapt successfully in a stress situation share some some common attributes which set them apart from those who don't. First aid[edit] First aid (wilderness first aid in particular) can help a person survive and function with injuries and illnesses that would otherwise kill or incapacitate him/her. The survivor may need to apply the contents of a first aid kit or, if possessing the required knowledge, naturally occurring medicinal plants, immobilize injured limbs, or even transport incapacitated comrades.

The Most Frequently Overlooked Long-Term Survival Items by Robert Wayne Atkins The Most Frequently Overlooked Items for Long-Term Hard Times Survival Copyright © December 1, 2008 by Robert Wayne Atkins, P.E. All Rights Reserved. One of the suggestions that is frequently mentioned on a variety of internet forums is to purchase "trade or barter items" before the hard times begin. Some of the typical "trade and barter items" that are recommended are salt, first aid supplies, toilet tissue, and 22LR ammunition. The general reasoning behind this "trade and barter strategy" is as follows: At the current time these "items" are widely available and reasonably priced.During really hard times these items will become scarce or very expensive.When that happens almost everyone will be desperate to obtain these items.You will therefore be able to trade these "items" for the things you really need. In my opinion a better strategy would be to simply invest your money in the things you know you will need. List of Frequently Overlooked Items

BP hit by fresh woe over Gulf of Mexico oil spill claims By Peter CampbellUPDATED: 08:51 GMT, 29 August 2011 BP faces larger payouts after thousands of claimants won the right to sue for punitive damages over last year’s Gulf of Mexico crisis. Judge Carl Barbier, who is presiding over 500 cases against the oil giant, has said maritime law for punitive damages - which goes beyond pure economic loss and is intended to act as a deterrent to others - could be used by plaintiffs. More than 100,000 individuals, businesses and authorities have already filed damages claims against the firm. Disaster: The Deepwater Horizon explosion on April 20 last year killed 11 workers and triggered the biggest offshore oil spill in history And the company has not filed any new drilling applications since the disaster last April – causing its production in the Gulf of Mexico to slump. BP has been barred from exploring since the Deepwater Horizon explosion on April 20 last year killed 11 workers and triggered the biggest offshore oil spill in history.

The Fantastic Four – 4 Essential Wild Edible Plants that May Just Save Your Life Did you realize that knowing just 4 wild edible plants could one day save your life? If there were any four categories of plants that I would recommend all people to know how to use and identify it would be these: Grass, Oak, Pine, and Cattail. For the knowledgeable survivor, knowing just these four plants can make the difference between life and death if stranded in the wilds – for each one is an excellent food source which can sustain you until help arrives. Throughout this week and part of the next, I’ll be going into details on how you can prepare and eat these plants. Grass Surprising to many is the fact that you can eat grass. The young shoots up to 6 inches tall can be eaten raw and the starchy base (usually white and at the bottom when you pluck it) can be eaten as a trail nibble. The best part of the grass plant to eat are the seed heads, which can be gathered to make millet for breads or filler for soups & stews. Oak Pine “You can eat pine?!” Cattail Conclusion

Lock The Gate Alliance Inc Les Stroud Homemade Lamps from Everyday Objects Having the ability to create light without needing electricity should be part of everyone’s emergency essentials. While flashlights are certainly helpful, batteries quickly die out so having a store of candles on hand can provide the light and morale boost that one needs to make it through a dark night or two. But what if you didn’t have any candles available? Fortunately there are very simple ways to make homemade lamps from everyday objects found around the house. How a Lamp Works Both oil lamps and candles are able to continually burn their fuel (wax or oil) through a process called capillary action. Understanding this is the key to creating many different types of wicks for your homemade lamps. Making a Tuna Fish Can Oil Lamp Here’s a simple example of how to make your own oil lamp using a tuna fish can. Tuna CanVegetable Oil, Olive Oil or any other cooking oilOld Cotton T-Shirt, Rag, or SockNail (or something sharp to poke a hole through the top of the tuna can) Light the wick.

Meningitis Vaccine under Scrutiny in UK Agency Finds More Than 16,000 Adverse Reactions Since Last Year By Michael Devitt Last November, the British government instituted a mass national immunization program designed to vaccinate all children under 18 against meningitis C, a rare but potentially fatal brain disease. A series of government documents obtained by The Observer, a British newspaper, has revealed that more than 16,000 adverse reactions possibly linked to two vaccines have been reported in the past 10 months, including 12 deaths that occurred in people after being vaccinated. The vaccines in question, Meningitec and Meninjugate, are designed to offer protection from meningitis C, which strikes approximately 1,500 people in the United Kingdom every year. According to the Committee on Safety of Medicines, more than 15 million doses of the vaccines have been distributed in the U.K. Figures compiled by The Observer, however, appear to contradict those published by the government.

Survivorman (TV Series 2004 Doctors in training taught to physically violate unconscious patients (explicit) (NaturalNews) Warning: Explicit language. We apologize for the extremely explicit nature of this story, but we feel that publishing this truth, no matter how repulsive, is in the public interest and serves the greater purpose of informing patients about what can happen to them while under sedation at hospitals. Do NOT read this article if you are easily offended, grossed out or otherwise disturbed by explicit language in a medical context. The information contained in this report is NOT appropriate for children. It is, however, true. Now for the story: If you're undergoing surgery at the hospital, you might want to have a secret nanny cam nearby to record what goes on, because it turns out that unconscious patients are being physically violated by medical students as part of their "medical training." In one case, a man who was under anesthesia for spinal surgery was subjected to "a queue of medical students" performing practice rectal examinations. The answer, of course, is YES!
