EDC Maxpedition Fatty
If you believe in preparedness, you probably have a 72-hour bag (bug-out bag). You likely have some water and food stored in your home. Hopefully you have at least two escape routes and maybe a bug out location (even if it’s a friend or relative’s house). But there is no use in being prepared if you are only ready some of the time. If your preps are all at home and you run into trouble on your way to work, your home preps are totally useless. So an Every Day Carry (EDC) pack is a necessary component to preparedness. And because you carry it with you wherever you go, it has to be a pretty exclusive set of compact essentials.
There are lots of great options available for EDC packs. Some use a fanny packhttp://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/i...1&a=B002XLL0JY, a messenger baghttp://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/i...1&a=B001E4E156, or a compact backpackhttp://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/i...1&a=B0055EOH1E. I like the Maxpedition Fatty Pocket Organizerhttp://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/i...1&a=B005257ZDS. I carry this as sort of an expanded wallet.

Stockpiling non-perishable food and water for an emergency is pretty much Job No. 1 when it comes to prepping. But if food and water are all you have, you’re going to find surviving very challenging, especially if you’re forced to bug out when you thought you were going to be able to hunker down. More »
What’s In Your Kit? Concealed Carry Means More Than Just a Gun
February 10, 2014 by Kevin Michalowski
http://plnami.blob.core.windows.net/...0207_image.jpgPHOTOS.COM
I think it was famed firearms trainer Clint Smith who coined the phrase, “Carrying a gun is not supposed to be comfortable; it is supposed to be comforting.”
I’ve met Smith a couple times; and while I am sure he doesn’t remember me, he certainly made a great impression with his no-nonsense and straightforward ideas about self-defense.
The first thing you need to remember is that self-defense is about fighting back. You have to be willing to fight back, or all the self-defense tools in the world will not protect you. Once you have made the choice to no longer be a victim, you need to get training and walk the path of continued training. Skills are perishable. If you don’t use them, you lose them.
Now we can talk about concealed carry gear. What you carry every day is important. Sure, many of you strap on a pistol and call it good. And that is good, insofar as it is better than nothing.
The next item I would suggest you carry regularly is a small, high-intensity flashlight. Bad things happen in the dark. Predators lurk in the shadows waiting to strike. Illuminate those shadows, and you take away the element of surprise. Time is incredibly valuable when you are the second person to know you are in a fight. The more time you give yourself to respond, the better off you will be.
The choice to carry spare ammo is a personal one. Good, solid arguments can be made on both sides of the topic, but remember this: No one who has survived a gunfight has ever said, “I wish I’d had fewer bullets.” This is not Hollywood. There are very few one-shot stops. We all know that predators often hunt in packs. Consider this: You are already preparing for the possibility, not the probability, that you will be attacked. So why not prepare for the possibility that you will need more ammo?
Next up on my list is good quality pepper spray. If the only tool in your toolbox is a hammer, every problem starts to look like a nail. There will be cases where you can’t draw your weapon, but you need some extra help. Pepper spray will not solve every problem, but it can adjust the attitude of a potentially violent person and give you a chance to escape. Remember, police are allowed to pepper spray against “active resistance or its threat.” Check your local laws; but in many cases, you don’t have to let someone throw a punch before you arm yourself with pepper spray. You have to reasonably believe the aggressor posed an imminent threat. If someone says, “I’m gonna kick your ass!” believe them and act accordingly.
Your cellular phone is a tool you likely take with you everywhere you go anyway. If you have resisted cellular technology for any reason, it is time to reconsider that lifestyle choice. Communication is a key element of self-defense and being without a means to call for help is akin to being without a means to defend yourself.
There are plenty of other potential additions to this list. I am by no means suggesting this to be comprehensive. This is a starting point. Your self-defense choices are very personal and individual. All I want you to do is start thinking about them and act on those thoughts.

A Gardener’s Guide to Organic Fertilizer
http://1.gravatar.com/avatar/3b6ee5c...6%3Fs%3D50&r=GBy E. Vinje
http://www.planetnatural.com/wp-cont...rtilizers1.jpg In a perfect world, your garden’s soil would provide all the nutrients plants need. But in the real world, garden and lawn soil — and thus the plants that live in them — often need a little boost. Improving the soil is the number one thing you can do to improve your garden, yard or landscape and organic fertilizers can help.
All plants need:
• Macronutrients – nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium
• Secondary nutrients – sulfur, calcium and magnesium
• Micronutrients – iron, manganese, zinc, chlorine, boron, copper and nickel (in very small quantities)
Organic fertilizing can be as easy or as technical as you want it to be. For gardeners who don’t wish to spend a lot of time figuring out what individual plants want, there are commercial blends that can be used on all plants.
For those who like to treat each plant as an individual there are singular fertilizers or mixes for every kind of plant. Often fertilizing protocol changes as the plant grows. Keep reading to review the best fertilizing method for you.
Why Organic?
Plants can’t tell if the nitrogen, or other nutrients, they are taking up came from an organic or chemical source, but choosing an organic over chemical fertilizer does have an impact on the health of your soil and ground water.
Organic fertilizers actually improve the soil, while chemical or synthetic fertilizers deplete the soil over the long run.
Organic Fertilizers
Chemical Fertilizers
Release nutrients slowly, providing a steady flow of plant nutrients Release nutrients rapidly Non-burning (won’t harm delicate seedling roots) May burn plants (and harm delicate seedling roots) Improve soil structure Leaching can pollute groundwater Increase water holding capacity Loss of fertilizer due to leaching means soil requires many applications Increase nutrient holding capacity Can make soil toxic after continuous use Promotes earthworms and soil micro-organisms Mineral salts can build up over time and kill off soil microbes Buffers soil from chemical imbalances High nitrogen levels may repel earthworms Improves soil over time
Chemical fertilizers came about after WWII when the companies that made ammonia gas for explosives needed to find a way to stay in business. So, they figured out how to make ammonia gas (mostly nitrogen) into fertilizer.
Dry Organic Fertilizers
Dry fertilizers can be made from a single ingredient (such as greensand, blood meal or steamed bone meal) or a blend of nitrogen, potassium, and phosphorous plus micronutrients. There are many commercial blends available or you can make your own (see How to Make Your Own Organic Fertilizer).
Applying Dry Organic Fertilizers
1.) Before planting broadcast dry fertilizer across the soil.
2.) Rake or hoe fertilizer into the top 4-6 inches.
3.) Add small amounts to planting holes or rows.
4.) Side dress plants during the growing season.
Liquid Organic Fertilizers
Plants have the ability to absorb liquids through both their roots and their stomata (pores on the leaf’s surface). Liquid fertilizers can be applied to the soil or sprayed on to the leaves (see Foliar Fertilization - PDF format).
Liquid fertilizers (whether a commercial blend, fish emulsion, compost tea or others) are especially beneficial during critical times in a plant’s life such as just after transplanting, during extreme temperatures or drought, or when the plant is blooming or setting fruit). Foliar fertilizing will also benefit plants throughout the growing season and can be applied every 2-4 weeks.
Applying Liquid Fertilizers
1.) Always follow label instructions.
2.) Using a surfactant (coconut oil or mild soap — 1/4 tsp per gallon of spray) to help get the best coverage.
3.) Check the spray’s pH — a slightly acidic fertilizer (6.0-6.5) is best (lower pH with vinegar).
4.) Use a spray mister with the finest mist possible.
5.) Spray until liquid drips off the leaves, being sure to spray the underside of leaves where pores are most likely to be open.
6.) Spray during the early morning or late evening for best absorption.
7.) OR water liquid fertilizers around the roots of plants.
Nutrient Supplements
Having little or no N-P-K of their own, nutrient supplements are designed to optimize fertilizers, not act as them. Containing vitamins, minerals, and hormones not found in most commercial plant foods, these give your plants “that little something extra.” The most well known is kelp which:
• contains at least 60 trace elements that plants need in very small quantities
• contains growth promoting enzymes and hormones
• stimulates soil bacteria (which increases fertility through humus formation, aeration and moisture retention)
Kelp is sold both as a dry meal and as a liquid.
Applying Nutrient Supplements
1.) Liquid supplements can be applied following the same method as liquid fertilizers.
2.) Kelp meal should be applied at 1-2 lbs per 100 square feet each spring. Kelp extract can be applied weekly to outdoor plants at a rate of 3 tablespoons per gallon of water.
3.) If you can find fresh seaweed, rinse the salt off and use it in the garden as mulch or throw it in the compost pile.
Types of Organic Fertilizers
Once you figure out what you want from your fertilizer, it is easy to pick the right one.
Bird and animal manures Good nutrient source and chock-full of microorganisms. Should be well-aged or composted before applying directly to the garden. Blood meal Slow release source of nitrogen plus trace minerals. Apply just before planting and use sparingly. Fish meal/ emulsion Source of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and trace elements. Releases quickly. Greensand Rich in potassium and numerous micronutrients. Can be used to loosen clay soils. Apply 5-10 lbs per 100 square feet. Shellfish meal Strong source of calcium (23%), nitrogen, phosphorus and micronutrients. May also be used to inhibit root-knot nematodes. Rock phosphate Great for flowering plants and provides a 10 year phosphate reserve.

Light Feeding Vegetables
Bean, beet, carrot, onion, pea, potato, radish, turnip
Heavy Feeding Vegetables
Broccoli, Brussel sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, celery, corn, cucumber, kale, leeks, lettuce, melon, peppers, pumpkin, spinach, squash, tomato
Biological Approaches that Promote Plant Health
Mycorrhizal Fungi are probably already growing in your soil. They form a symbiotic relationship with plant roots. These fungi benefit plants by:
• Colonizing plant roots and sending hyphae throughout the soil, essentially extending the plant’s reach.
• Blocking disease organisms.
• Absorbing phosphorous, water and trace minerals — and sharing them with the plant.
• Excreting sticky compounds that bind the soil into aggregates, keeping the soil porous and airy.
You can promote mycorrhizal growth by not tilling the soil (this tears them up) or by inoculating your garden with a purchased fungi inoculant.
Worms improve the soil in many ways:
• Improve the structure of the soil (aerating clay soils and binding sandy soils together).
• Burrowing opens channels for root growth.
• They help regulate water (moving moisture to dry areas and draining water clogged areas).
• Chomping up leaves and other organic debris.
• Worms leave behind castings full of nutrients.
It’s not just the worms that are good for your garden, their nutrient-rich castings (basically worm poop) are an excellent soil additive. Castings can be produced commercially, or you can raise worms yourself (see Composting with Worms).
There are a lot of ways to reap the benefits of worm castings, including:
• Top Dressing: Spread a layer (1/2 inch deep) of castings around plants. Mulch and water.
• Seed Starting Mix: 3 parts aged compost or coconut coir to 1 part castings.
• Potting Mix: 2 parts aged compost, 1 part castings, 1/2 part vermiculite.
• Trees and Fruit Trees: Apply around the base and water well. Reapply when necessary.

Surviving Without Power: 4 Creative Ways To Heat And Light Your Home If The Grid Goes Down
by admin · March 10, 2014
JB Bardot
Living without power for an extended amount of time can be a daunting prospect. Although a small group of people may have alternative forms of emergency heat and supplies stashed safely in their home or retreat, these may not be enough to see you through the an extended period without power and heat. Battery packs and generators have a limited life span and purchasing a large stockpile of fuel is an expensive undertaking. There is no way to tell where you will be when the SHTF and getting to your home and stockpile of supplies may be impossible. Therefore, it is important to be aware of a few simple methods of creating heat, warmth and cooking facilities that will prove invaluable during difficult times.
http://asheepnomore.net/wp-content/u...-Goes-Down.jpg
Solar Bottle Bulb
http://www.jbbardot.com/wp-content/u...lb-300x171.png
Solar bottle bulbs are convenient ways to illuminate outdoor storage areas, garages and other shelters that are not connected to a power source. Use an 8oz clear plastic bottle and measure the circumference of the bottle. The bottle will be set up so that the bottom two-thirds is inside the structure, and the top third is sticking out of the roof to harvest sunlight. Decide where you would like to place your solar bulb, and then draw a circle on the ceiling of your structure that is the same size as the bottle’s circumference. Draw another circle on a piece of sheet metal that is large enough to surround the bottle. Cut out the two circles using a handsaw, or power saw if you’re doing this ahead of time.
Fill the bottle almost to the very top with distilled water, and then top it off with 3 tablespoons of bleach. Replace the cap and allow the bleach to mix slowly with the water. Fit the bottle into the hole in the sheet metal. Seal the edges between the bottle and the sheet metal with industrial strength sealant. Slot the bottle into the hole in the roof with the sheet metal on the outside. Seal the edges of the sheet metal all the way around with sealant to stop water and humidity from entering the structure. As long as it is fitted well, the solar bottle bulb should last up to 5 years. Add a little extra bleach every few months to keep the water clean and free from mold.

Soda Can Stove
http://www.jbbardot.com/wp-content/u...ve-300x169.jpgIf you are on the move with a bugout bag, you will need to carry the least amount of weight possible. Bunsen burners and gas canisters can take up precious space. For an effective and virtually weightless camping stove, you will need only an aluminum can and denatured alcohol. Using either your knife or a can opener, cut away the top part of the can leaving the outer lip intact. Draw a line around the can about 1.5 inches from the bottom. Cut around the can making sure the edges are straight all the way around. Cut the top part of the can so it is exactly the same height as the bottom when held side by side. Take a knife and then press the blade vertically all around the can to make indented creases all around the sides that are approximately 1 inch apart.
Next, make a series of small holes at the top of the can just under the outer lip using a thumbtack to allow oxygen to flow freely. Slip the top part of your can into the bottom base, and you are ready to begin cooking. Pour a small amount of fuel into the stove to begin with to gauge exactly how much you will need and light it using a long matchstick. You can cook relatively large meals such as rice or soup using the soda can stove. To extinguish the flames, place a pot or glass bowel upside down on top of the stove to deprive it of oxygen. Any fuel that is left over can be poured back into the bottle of alcohol and reused. More detailed information can be seen here:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ui8t3pivqtk
Clay Flower Pot and Tea Light Candle Heater
http://www.jbbardot.com/wp-content/u...er-300x212.jpgAll you need to effectively heat a small area for just a few cents per day, are one medium and one small size terracotta flowerpot, a bread tin and 4 tea light candles. Place 4 tea lights in a deep metal square container such as a brownie pan. The pan should be similar in size to the opening of the larger flowerpot. Turn the smaller flowerpot upside down and place it over the tea lights. It should fit snugly inside the dish. Turn the larger flowerpot upside down and place it on top of smaller one so it rests on the top edge of the dish. Only use flowerpots that have a small hole in the base, and air should also be able to escape from the corners of the metal dish that are not covered by the larger pot. Each flowerpot will be able to disperse a substantial amount of heat to keep the room’s ambient warmth. Increase the number or size of candles or even make several bread pan/flowerpot heaters to generate warmth in larger spaces. More detailed information can be seen here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=brHqBcZqNzE
Battery Fire Lighter
http://www.jbbardot.com/wp-content/u...er-300x169.jpgIf you find yourself without matches or a lighter, you can still get a fire going instantly with a small battery and a stick of gum. A small AA or AAA battery is ideal, and you will need a stick of chewing gum in a foil wrapper. Tear off a thin strip of the foil about ½ an inch wide and fold it in half. Holding the folded end at the top, tear off a corner ¼ inch by ½ inch. When you unfold the strip it should have a small rectangle indent missing from one side. Press and hold the ends of the foil to each end of the battery, and the thin middle section will now ignite. Drop the foil onto some flammable material such as dried grass or brittle wood.
