We live in a world where so many things could go wrong and have. We
have a dysfunctional government, national skyrocketing debt which
one day our lenders will demand payment, and home grown as well as
external terrorism. On top of all that, there is the increasing
risk of natural disasters like tornados, floods, wildfires,
earthquakes, and more. I am not off my nut. I just like to be
prepared and I absolutely will make sure that I will be taking care
of my family. We are normal, everyday folks who like going to the
movies, go out to eat, we love the internet, and more. There is a
lot to be said for creature comforts and we really enjoy them, but
if they were gone tomorrow, we would survive. It may not be peaches
and cream, but we would survive. One thing I do feel strongly about
is that something in our society is bound to break and break hard.
We cannot continue down this same path as a world or nation for
that matter and not believe that something has to give. It could be
a number of things too. The people and countries our nation is in
debt to may want their money back before we can pay the bill. Our
fragile economy could collapse which quite frankly would take down
most of the rest of the world economies along with ours. It could
be a natural disaster that impacts a large area in which we live.
And perhaps, it might just be the desire for one nation or group of
extremists that want to see if they have the moxie to take down the
United States. I hope you enjoy reading this work as much as I
enjoyed putting it together Happy Prepping
This book is the sixth in a series of books written by Jake
Bussolini. It is the last in his series of books that blend the
science of fishing with the sport of fishing. This book is directed
at the experienced angler and covers a broad range of subjects that
the author feels he has not thoroughly covered in his previous
books. The first half of this book covers some of the more complex
questions about fish health, growth, population and nutrition. Then
the subject of Sonar image interpretations are re-visited, going
deep into the understanding of what screen images really mean. The
author also covers less complicated subjects like the strike zone,
using sound to catch fish, selecting the right bait or lure
including a look at the author's ten favorite lures. The second
half of the book describes several of the fishing experiences of
the author including lessons learned from these experiences. The
book ends with some brief coverage of filleting your fish, stepping
up your equipment and a broad description of the responsibilities
of every experienced angler.

"Literally the best prepper medical guide I have found yet Well
done No nonsense and no beating around the bush. I feel as if I
have learned something." - Steven Trumbo (Emmaus, PA) Whether
you're buying items to build a comprehensive medical kit, or have
found yourself in a disaster without one, this book will teach you
exactly what you need to do. Written by a Trauma Surgeon, The
Prepper Pages describes the most practical and effective treatments
for injuries and illnesses encountered within the chaos of
disasters. It is not a book about how to stabilize injuries until
help arrives. It's a book about how to treat conditions
definitively, assuming that help will never arrive. "Full of truly
useful information on where to get and, even better, how to use
items in your emergency medical kit. This is one book that is
definitely a must have " - Shar
The recent weather phenomenon of Hurricane Sandy, a super-storm
that left tens of millions of people along the East Coast without
power, food, or water revealed the readiness (or lack thereof) of
the average person. In a society that increasingly depends on other
people's actions for its daily needs, self-sufficiency in a
survival situation has become somewhat of an antiquated notion. The
example of Sandy, however, proved that disasters do not care where
you live or how much money you make. Mother Nature's disasters,
ranging from a hurricane to an earthquake to tornado's or even a
volcanic eruption, have the ability to disrupt civilized society at
any second. Do you have a plan for disaster readiness? Build A
Better Bag The Bug out Bag eBook by Casey Watkins offers a wealth
of information on giving yourself and your family the necessary
tools and advantages in a survival situation. This text details the
building process of a "bug out bag" (so named for soldiers who had
to 'bug out' of combat situations quickly), a temporary set of
supplies, clothes, and foodstuffs that can be the difference
between life and death in the event of extreme emergencies. Whether
you live on your own or whether you would have to protect your
family and even pets during a serious disaster, you can prepare
well ahead of time with a bug out bag that can last for just a
single day as you get to higher ground or a relief shelter, or an
entire week in the event that civilization in your area has come to
a grinding halt. What's In A Bag? If you had only a minute to come
up with the items you need for quick survival, what would make the
cut? Would you throw in your family heirlooms, books, or your
laptop? The Bug Out Bag eBook gives practical tips on how best to
plan out the space of a backpack or duffel bag for short- and
long-term survival. One of the key factors is maximizing space and
weight. If you have to carry your bag long distances, you cannot
afford to bring unnecessary items. A day bag can be nothing more
than warm clothing, a few meals, shelter to keep the elements out,
and a good supply of fresh water - less than twenty pounds of
weight. For longer-term survival, on the other hand, the book lays
out the process of packing for circumstances that can arise ranging
from starting a fire to hunting for food. Keep Your Priorities In
Order No matter what the duration of your survival may look like,
the author lays out the necessities that should be foremost on
anyone's mind. Any bag, no matter the size, needs water and water
filtration units that can provide at least one gallon per day. Any
bag needs shelter and warm clothing that can protect all
extremities. Any bag needs a way to communicate with other
survivors, but the author reminds you of things such as the fact
that your cell phone may likely be defunct and a two-way radio will
be a better tool. For more great tips, you have to read this ebook.
