Hey guys this is probably something that u have heard before, but seriously, think about investing into gold or my personal favorite silver.
Only a few years ago gold was somewhere below the 1,000$ range and sliver was less than 14$ an ounce. Now, one may look at the prices and think it may not be worth the risk since they have risen so much in a relatively short time. Trust me this is not the case. Buzz has been that we can expect these prices to increase dramatically in the next year, as they already have in the previous one. As inflation really starts to hit home this year, one should really think about protecting their wealth and maybe make some cash in the short term.
So this is just a thought i am putting out there. It's not to late to get a piece of the pie. After all gold and silver has never been worth zero.

Trash into Treasure
Far to often most of us preppers and new found preppers alike run to the store in search of the latest and greatest item to put with our camping gear or Bug Out Bags. Recently tho, i have decided to take a look into the everyday items most of us have lying around our homes, to see if some secondary uses could be made from them before they end up in the trash/recycle.
Prescription pill bottles are not something i had ever thought about using with my BOB or camping gear. It makes perfect since tho. These things have a very thick plastic walls , tight fitting lids, and they come in many different sizes. So i have decided to give all of my readers a step by step instruction on how to clean them and most importantly of all, idea's on application of use.
Step one is simple and should be a no brainer: Remove the front sticker. For obvious reasons(i.e. should you lose one of them) you don't want someone finding it with all of your information on it. Simply pick at one corner until you have a made a large enough flap to peal the rest off.
Step Two: Wash out the bottles!!! This is important also, because if you intend use them with anything you put in your mouth you don't want to find out the hard way that you have an allergy to a particular type of medication.Grab a large enough pot to fit all the bottles and lids in, fill it with hot water, add soap, and insert everything that needs cleaning. Let them sit until the water becomes cold.
I like to stand the bottles up on end after you have filled them with the soapy water.
Step Three: Rinse the bottles. I recommend doing this only after the water has become could to the touch. Empty the pot into your sink and follow that by rinsing the pot with hot water until the soap is gone. Next individually rinse out each bottle with lid and stand them upside down in the pot so that excess water can drain from them.
Step Four: individually dry each bottle and lid with a paper towel making sure to wipe the inside completely dry. You do not want to put any type of dry food product inside a wet bottle. Depending on what it is. It can start the molding process if you slap the lid back on while its still wet.
Step Five: Let it air dry. This part of the process shouldn't take very long if you have hand dried the bottle and lids good.
Step Six: Fill with what ever you see fit.
These bottles can handle just about anything you throw their way. For the most part (haven't had one leak on me yet) they are waterproof, they are durable, and they can fit easily in a Bug out Bag. So next time your thinking about throwing that so called "trash" away. Stop and think for a moment about what kinda uses you mite still be able to get out of the stuff. After all, isn't being resourceful apart of survival, and acquiring new things for survival, is what prepping is???

A Good way to keep your matches and tender dry.
Coffee inside of filters can be helpful. Not to messy either.
These are just a few products that can be contained in on of these bottles.
Tackle can also be stored well.
Yes, you can even keep your butt wipe dry with these.

Intro to Prepping
Prepping, to most people this means something like..."I'm prepping for the big game tonight.", or "I'm gonna start prepping for dinner. However, to a growing number of Americans, prepping refers to something they have already done not something they are going to do.
In these times of economic uncertainty one almost always has to be careful where and how they spend their money. Times are tuff and the outlook of economic prospects looks grim. For good reason too. As i am writing this little piece the National Debt is currently at 14,112,679,000,000 and some change. By the time I'm finished it will have surpassed the 14 trillion, 113 billion mark. What a trip right??? Now don't get me wrong, one can only expect that the Debt Clock would in fact keep ticking into the red, but look how far we have gotten.
Many people are waking up and seeing that this kind of behavior can not sustain are way of life much further into the future. Penny pinching and coupon cutting has become the norm.Reckless government spending is a constant and it's out of control. Manufacturing costs have shot through the roof, meanwhile companies are passing the costs down to you.
It's hard to say what will happen in the future, but more and more people are finding it a must to have extra food and water on hand. Anything can happen at anytime and maybe its always been that way, but the climate is just right for a Shit storm here in America.
So for all you out there who are looking for a change, new ways to save some cash, and most importantly advice on how to protect and prepare yourselves against a disaster man made or other wise. Be sure to sub, friend, and support my page and i will do my best to help you do just that.
