If you're a prepper who loves camping or hiking, you should have a survival kit with useful gear such as cordage and a sharp knife. With the right tools, you can survive even if you get separated from your group or if you get lost in the wilderness.
Prep your survival kit or bug-out bag before SHTF so you are always prepared for the unexpected. (h/t to Brunton.com)
Cordage

Cordage is a survival must-have because it has many uses. You can use cordage to climb something steep, tie down a shelter or make a fishing line. Cordage is also great for hanging clothes to dry or making trap triggers.
Firestarter

With a firestarter, you can start a fire that will help you survive cold temperatures. You will also need a fire if you want to cook or boil water outdoors.
When preparing your survival kit, make sure you also include different types of firestarters in a waterproof bag. Pack waterproof matches, a lighter, a ferro rod and a dry tinder stored in a tin can. This ensures that if one method fails, you can use another firestarter.
First aid kit

When SHTF, you may need to treat minor injuries. This is why you need a first aid kit with basic supplies like small bandages and alcohol cleansing wipes.
If you're going on a long backpacking trip, prepare a triangle bandage and gauze for compression. You may need these items for serious injuries, and they can also be used with a makeshift splint.
Fishing line and hooks

If you lose access to your food supply, use the fishing line and hooks in your survival kit to find food in the wilderness. Simply tie fishing line and hooks to a branch fish nearby streams.
Flashlight or headlamp

If you are camping, you will need a flashlight or headlamp so you can safely navigate at night. Don't forget to bring extra batteries.
Knife

When SHTF, you can use a sharp knife to sharpen sticks, cut cordage or skin small game.
Map and compass

While technology is beneficial for preppers, you should still learn how to navigate using tools like a map and compass. If you know how to navigate without GPS, you won't get lost when SHTF. (Related: Essential gear for SHTF situations: Choosing the right equipment for survival.)
Signal mirror

If you get lost and are separated from your group, the last thing you want is to be in a situation where you are too exhausted or far away to signal that you need help.
Include a signal mirror in your survival kit and learn how to use it. The signals can be seen up to 15 miles away. If it's a clear and sunny day, a signaling mirror is also an effective way to gain the attention of first responders.
Solar blanket

Hypothermia can happen even when it's only 50 F outside and staying warm can be difficult if your clothing is wet or you don't have a change of clothes.
With a solar blanket, you can keep your body warm when temperatures drop, especially at night. They are extremely packable, so include them in your survival kit.
Water purification system

You can survive without food for at least weeks. However, if you don't have clean drinking water you can only survive for one week or about three to four days.
To prevent dehydration when SHTF, make sure you also bring a portable water purification system so you don't run out of water. You can also bring water purification tablets as a backup.
Prepare a survival kit and include these useful tools if you plan to spend time outdoors.

The Black Walnut Hull Remedy That Cleans Your Intestines Of Parasites

by KJ Barber
October 26, 2018



Before I get started with the information on how to make your own black walnut tincture, a word of caution is in order. If you have a nut allergy, do not attempt to make or use this tincture. Even though the actual nut is not used, the hull of the walnut is. No need to take a risk on this one.
However, if you do not and you’re looking for an easy recipe for a homemade black walnut tincture, the information in this article is just what you need. Whether you want this tincture to help get rid of intestinal parasites, or any other of the numerous other benefits we will discuss, it’s an easy recipe to prepare ahead of time. It also has a long shelf life, when stored properly.
We will get into all of this later in the article. But, let’s first go over what you will need.
The Supplies


Most of these supplies are easy to find, if you don’t already have them on hand. Here is what you will need:

• Black walnuts, whole and still in the hull
• 80 proof vodka
• Olive Oil
• Lemon juice
• Quart canning jar with lid
• Gloves

In addition to the above you will want at least one small dark-colored glass bottle with a dropper, as well as a sharp knife.
When choosing the black walnuts, it’s best to have the freshest you can find. In fact, if you can get them before they fall off the tree, when they’re still very green, that’s the best option. However, I am making this batch in the fall in a northern and colder region, and most of them have already fallen to the ground by now.
So, rather than waiting until spring, I am making this batch with a more mature selection of black walnut hulls. The final tincture may not be quite as potent, but it’s still effective – and at least you will see the process, so you can be ready when you choose to make it yourself.

The Recipe and Process

Once you have gathered all your supplies, make sure to wear your gloves. If you opt to not wear them, be prepared for your hands to be stained for weeks. Also, be careful with anything else these hulls and shells come in contact with before, during, and after the process.
I remember as a kid my grandmother used to make a wonderful black walnut cake. She would run over the walnuts with her car to open them. Yes, they are a hard nut to crack. However, for this recipe, it calls for the hulls, not the actual meat or nut found in the inner shell. The green hull can be opened with just a knife. That leaves the actual nuts to be used for other purposes.
Anyway, making black walnut tincture is very simple:
#1. Fill a quart canning jar about ⅔ full with vodka.#2. Cut the walnut hulls, approximately 6-7 of them, and place in the jar.#3. Pour about 2 tablespoons of lemon juice in to help preserve the tincture.#4. Pour about ¼ cup of olive oil in to help create a barrier from oxidation over time.
#5. Make sure the top of the hulls are covered with the vodka, lemon juice, and olive oil mix.#6. Cap the filled jar, without stirring the mix, then place in the refrigerator.The tincture is ready to use anywhere from as quickly as a couple of hours, to as long as 4-6 weeks of sitting. Obviously the longer it steeps, the more potent it will be for you.
The other factor in its effectiveness and strength is the freshness of the back walnut. The sooner you get if off the ground, or picked from a tree (better yet), the more potent the tincture.
#7. Once the tincture is ready to use, strain the mix to remove the hulls and excess debris.Pour the liquid into small dark-colored bottles that have droppers. The shelf life depends on the freshness of the hulls used. It could last for years, but will be more effective in the earlier stages.
Uses for the Black Walnut Tincture

Historically, black walnut tincture has been used for its anti-fungal, anti-viral, anti-bacterial, and anti-helminthic (killing parasites) traits. In addition to fending off and preventing various infections and intestinal parasites, other uses include:

• Reducing excessive sweating
• Lowering cholesterol and blood pressure levels
• Aiding in digestion
• Slowing down heavy menstrual bleeding
• Relieving heartburn, colic, diarrhea, and flatulence
• Balances blood sugar levels
• Battles heart disease
• Helps with skin conditions such as acne, boils, and warts

So as you can see, black walnut tincture goes well beyond helping with intestinal parasites. But, how do you use it? Good question!

How to Use the Black Walnut Tincture

Now that you know how to make it, and what to use it for, you might be wondering how to use this strange-looking mixture.
When using it as an intestinal parasite cleanse, the dropper discussed earlier comes in handy. Drop 20 small drops of the tincture into a glass of water and drink three times a day until you are feeling better. To give you an idea how long this should last, a 2 oz bottle, should hold about 60 of these servings.
As a topical aid for skin conditions, use a cotton swab dipped in the tincture and dab on the area in question. Just a word of caution though, this will stain your skin for a while, as well as anything else it touches.
And another way to use it would be for athlete’s foot. Simply add a dropper full of the tincture into a gallon of warm water in a small tub, and use as a foot soak. This could also stain, but it’s far more diluted than the dose listed above for other skin conditions.
No matter what ailment you are seeking help for, hopefully this black walnut tincture will aid in finding relief for you soon!

10 Vegetables That You Can Stockpile Without Refrigeration For A Full Year



10 Vegetables That You Can Stockpile Without Refrigeration For A Full Year

by April K.
April 9, 2019


Whether you are looking for a long-term food storage solution to become self-sufficient, save money, or want an abundance of home-produce to last until you need it, putting by vegetables for future use is easy and rewarding. To stockpile vegetables, you won’t need to spend money on specialized equipment or be an expert in the kitchen. With planning and common sense, you can take pride in a larder filled with a tasty, nutritious harvest that will last a year or longer.
To keep the roots, leaves, and fruits of vegetables for future consumption, we must prevent decay. While freezing is an option, it depends on electricity and the availability of storage space. Fortunately, there are other efficient and practical ways to stockpile them for prolonged periods.
A word of warning – ripe fruit such as pears and apples give off a gas called ethylene, which stimulates other fruits and vegetables to ripen in turn. It is best not to store fruit near vegetables that are stockpiled for long-term use.
Vegetables That You Can Store for a Year or Longer and How to Do It

#1. Winter squash and Pumpkin

Winter squash and pumpkin are nutritious and can be used in many recipes during the months when fresh vegetables are scarce. Leave a short stub of the stem when you cut ripe fruits from the vine, wipe the pumpkin with a damp cloth to remove soil, and store on open shelves or in baskets in a cool dark room such as a basement.
#2. Arrowroot

Arrowroot is a water plant with tuber-like roots which grow in soft mud. Compared to other vegetables, arrowroot delivers a meagre harvest and requires some effort to process.
However, it’s an essential addition to your stockpile because of its unique benefits. Because it’s so easily digestible, arrowroot is a suitable food for babies and for adults recovering from a digestive disorder. You can harvest young roots of the plant for eating in spring and early summer. When peeled and cooked, arrowroot tastes like slightly mealy potato. Later in the growing season, the roots become fibrous and inedible and are only good for processing into arrowroot flour.
Peel the roots thoroughly to get rid of the outer layer (it will make your food taste bitter) and pound them to a pulp.
Strain the pulp through a coarse cloth and pour the liquid into a container with a large surface area.
Set the container in the sun or close to a heat source until all the liquid has evaporated and only powder remains.
You can store Arrowroot powder almost indefinitely. For daily cooking, arrowroot powder is an excellent substitute for cornstarch in baking and sauces, and it will make battered fried food deliciously crisp.
#3. Cabbage

The only way to keep cabbage and some other vegetables fresh is to fool them into thinking that they’re still growing. Dig cabbages out of the ground roots and all. Trim the outer leaves and plant each cabbage in a few inches of damp soil or sawdust in a bucket or bin with a lid. Store in the basement; 30 – 45 degrees Fahrenheit is ideal. You can preserve celery and leeks the same way.

#4. Carrots

Like cabbage, carrots are fleshy and will start decaying soon after you dig them up. Throughout summer and autumn, harvest only what you can eat within a few days and leave the rest in the ground.
As soon as winter frost starts damaging the tops of the plants, pull up the rest of the crop to prevent it from freezing in the ground and cut off the foliage. Fill buckets or bins with three to four inches of moist sand, lay carrots horizontally almost to the top, then cover over with another layer of sand.
Store your produce in the basement or garage, and you can pull out fresh carrots throughout winter when you need them. This storage method gave rise to the name ‘root cellar’, and you can store tubers such as sweet potato, cassava and yam in the same way.
#5. Parsley and Celery

Parsley and Celery are varieties of the same Mediterranean plant and you can stockpile them as a vital source of vitamin B and C, iron, and dietary fiber for periods when other nutrient-rich vegetables are scarce.
Most people think of these plants as a leafy seasoning in dishes such as soups and stews, but did you know that all parts of parsley and celery plants are edible? You can enjoy the leaves and stems fresh in salads during the summer, and dried for winter together with other savory herbs.
You can store and use parsley and celery roots in the same way as carrots; when you are ready to eat them, scrape clean with the back of a knife and add the chopped roots to the pot.

#6. Jerusalem Artichokes

Jerusalem Artichokes are not only tasty and nutritious, but also easy to grow and each plant delivers a prodigious crop of roots which you can harvest in autumn and store in the same way as carrots.
The plants are a type of indigenous North American sunflower and even when planted in pots, the roots will develop well. For the most nutritional benefit, boil Jerusalem artichokes in the skin, like jacket potatoes, and peel once cooled. They can also be fried or used to thicken soups.
#7. Tomatoes

Italians call tomatoes the ‘essence of summer’ and there’s nothing better to add flavor and color to food on cold winter days. Cut ripe tomatoes in half lengthways and lay down well-spaced on suspended netting to make sure that there’s good airflow around the fruit. You can dry tomatoes in direct sunlight.
Turn the tomatoes every day for three to seven days until they’re evenly dehydrated.
Dried tomatoes can be stored in a cool place in airtight containers for six months, or up to two years if you layer them in oil in sealed containers. You can also preserve mushrooms and onions in this way.

#8. Potatoes

Unlike carrots, once a potato harvest is ready, it needs to be dug up, washed and stored at once. This is not a job you can leave until the frosts start; potatoes need to cure before you can stockpile them. Store the potatoes in cardboard boxes or paper bags at temperatures between 45 and 60 degrees Fahrenheit and 80 – 100% humidity for a week. During this period the potatoes’ skin will thicken, preserving them for future use.
After 7 to 14 days, you can transfer the potatoes to a dark, cool room such as a basement for long-term storage. Be careful to discard any potatoes with soft spots, broken skin, or other blemishes. Like the proverbial rotten apple, one spoiled potato will start a chain reaction in your stash.
#9. Onions

Suspend your onion crop from the ceiling. Air can circulate between hanging onions, and it prevents excess moisture from causing rot. A string of braided onions is not only practical but looks beautiful in a corner of your kitchen.
Harvest onions on a warm, dry day and let them cure for up to a week by spreading them out in a single layer on the ground. Once the tops have wilted but before they become dry and brittle, braid the onions into a string. Tie off the top with a piece of twine, which you can use to hang them. Garlic can also be stockpiled this way, and a corner of the pantry or the basement is a good place to store them.
#10. Salsify

Never heard of it? That’s probably because it’s such an ugly-looking root. In the age of photogenic food, it’s fallen out of vogue, but during the 18^th and 19^th century, salsify was a staple in the US and Europe, and today it grows wild on uncultivated land.
Salsify is a hardy relative of the dandelion, easy to grow, and the roots are resistant to disease and most pests. It’s a good source of dietary fiber, vitamins B and C, and minerals such as iron, calcium, and potassium. As a bonus, you will probably love to eat this taproot.
Greengrocers call salsify the oyster plant and compare the taste to sea mollusks. The flavor intensifies the longer you store it. Stockpile salsify roots in the same way as carrots.
