Are You Ready Series: Pandemic Preparedness
Let’s cut to the chase, it is very difficult to prepare for epidemics and pandemics especially for those living in close proximity to others. These natural reoccurring disasters tend to occur suddenly and without warning. According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), serious, deadly contagious disease outbreaks can and do happen. Looking back at the Black Plague, those living in high populated areas were hit hardest by this pandemic. Many believe the misuse of antibiotics in the past has led to the dangers of super bugs such as the spread of MRSA — or methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. Before we get into the meat and potatoes of pandemic preparedness, let’s look at the changes that will likely occur in your community if this disaster were to occur: When an outbreak occurs, many will remain in a state of denial about any approaching epidemics.

Survival Manual - Learn How To Make Homemade Candles
This is how you can make your own candles. Take the hard fat from a deer and rendered it down to make tallow. Tallow is hard like wax. Fat from deer, sheep, beef and bison is considered tallow while fat from pigs is considered lard. Now cut into small peices completely devoid of any red flesh. The amount of hard fat on a deer is variable and depends on the size of the deer and how far north you live as well as what part of the season it was killed. Now boil the fat in water because it is safer and prevents overheating. Bring water/fat to a boil and immediately reduce to a simmer. Now after boiling strain it through a fine a mesh strainer. The strainer bits can be fed to pets but for this process it is just scrap. Now set it aside and let it cool off. Break up the tallow into a small pan and place that pin in a large pot with some water. Add heat and melt your fat/tallow. As it cools pour it through a fine filter. It can now be stored or used once it cools off.

Wise Bread Picks For the last five years, I've been traveling the world full-time, and for less money than I've ever spent (and I'd wager less money than most people would spend) to live in one place.

What if I told you it wasn't? Believe it. How to Keep Your Travel Costs Low Of course, I could travel for way more than $17,000/year. Here are a few of my secrets.

Howstuffworks "10 Ways to Survive a Snowstorm"
There's no truer statement than the old adage "you can't control the weather." You can't even predict it with complete certainty. As advanced as our meteorological forecasting techniques are these days, weather systems are changeable forces of nature. The National Snow and Ice Data Center defines a blizzard as a "violent winter storm, lasting at least 3 hours, which combines below freezing temperatures and very strong wind laden with blowing snow that reduces visibility to less than 1 km." If a blizzard is bad enough, snow plows and salt trucks won't even brave the elements.

@Eric Geller: It reminds me of the OLPC project, straight from the ivory tower of MIT. It lacks a sense of priority... where the industrialized Western world thinks that so called 'third world' countries will do ok if tech is thrown at them. Imo it's an arrogant attitude, and an attitude that says that if we give them tech first, then everything else will follow. "So you're infrastructure is down and disorder is everywhere and there's no food or fuel.... No problem! @Eric Geller: More like a monetary problem. I don't know about that. Technology can be used as a multiplier to better utilize the resources that already exist. Think of this as the lifehacker for the rest of the world.
Never Talk to the Police | Quick Hitts
By Dave Hitt on Mar 31, 2010 in Featured, Police State What’s the best response when a cop asks you something? Silence, or a short, polite non-answer. Shut up.
