May 14, 2012 - "Problems to be encountered when bugging out" Joseph Parish. In the majority of disaster scenarios we are confronted with one of two types of personal actions we can take towards protecting our family. We can prepare to bug in and remain at our homes or we can bug out as many people may be planning to do. If you happen to live in a major city where remaining could become a dangerous situation for not only your emergency supplies but also for your own security, perhaps your best bet may be to bug out. Even then one must have a viable plan and naturally you will need a destination as to where you would go. This destination could be anywhere but in the city whether that would be in a secure underground bunker or in a remote country location a fair distance from the dangers of the city. If all your provisions are contained in your city location you are likely to lose a good portion of them if you are unable to transport them to your safe location. Click here

May 14, 2012 - "US Army Internment Resettlement Re-Education Camp Manual" Joseph Parish. Well folks it appears as if we are due for some sobering tribulations in the not so distant future. A recently uncovered Army document completed by the DoD contains some very appalling plans for any designated political activists. The protesters will be placated by a government sponsored PSYOP officer into becoming more enthusiastic of American policies. This is not some fictional account of our future here in America, but an actual here-and-now document to be used while detaining dissidents in American prison camps. read the original document just click here

May 11, 2012 - "A homemade steam inhaler" By Joseph Parish. As I was roaming around the internet last evening I chanced upon an article which described an interesting type of homemade inhaler. Although I personally refuse to use such medical devices I felt that I owed it to my website visitors to list something similar. Who knows it might prove useful during emergencies when no other capabilities are available. There are members who might have asthma or related breathing difficulties and might find this remedy useful during emergency conditions. Click here

May 9, 2012 - "Ham Radio License" as many already known the Federal Communications Commission has dropped the requirement to learn the Morse code in order to earn an amateur radio operators license. This change has opened the door to many people who previously would have no applied for a license. As preppers and survivalists it is to our benefit to obtain one of these ham licenses in the event of an emergency. As such I am taking a poll to see how many people would be interested in receiving free training in order to pass the FCC test to get this license. If you would be interested in this class please contact me at joseph.parish@survival-training.info and let me know. if we can get enough people together we may be able to get the local ham radio club to provide us with training and testing.

May 7, 2012 - "Survival Training Meet-up: We will be holding an "Easy Food Storage on a Budget" Meet-up on May 31, 2012. This meet-up will introduce you to various ways in which you can store up on food in the event of an emergency such as dehydrating, canning or freezing. You certainly must have noticed the increase in cost relating to your weekly shopping budget at the grocery store. These prices are only going to escalate higher and higher with the increased cost of fuel. It takes truck loads of products around the nation to supply our supermarkets with food. In the event we experience a stoppage within this transportation chain for any reason what-so-ever than society tends to be disrupted and starts to disintegrate. If you have the foresight to store up on food and know the basic principles of food preservation you are essentially one step ahead of the game. Food costs will never again go down but only up and as such we should be preparing. To learn more about these procedures used for preparing long term food storage plan to attend this meet-up. The meet-up will be at the Redden State Park Education Building in Georgetown Delaware on May 31, 2012. The class is free but advance registration is necessary. we have only enough space for 25 people. To register contact me via e-mail at joseph.parish@survival-training.info .

May 4, 2012 - "Mint ice tea" Do you love the flavor of summertime ice tea with a touch of mint in it? Here are a few hints from our herb expert Laura on using that exciting herb. There are several ways to use it, you can simply place the mint in the water as you are brewing the tea or you can dry it for use in the winter months. Unfortunately it just does not taste the same as other methods. To freeze the leave first rinse them well and lay them onto a paper towel to completely dry. Next stick them into a baggie and place in your Freezer. An interesting twist to using the mint is to use it as an ice cube. Once again rinse the leaves well and make ice cubes out of them by sticking a few leaves in your cube trays and covering them with water and freezing as you would your normal ice cubes. When completely frozen pop them out of the tray and put them in a big baggie so you can use your trays for creating addition cubes.

April 30, 2012 - "Door Security" Joseph Parish. It often will take only a single kick to force open a residential door. After spending multiple hours exploring the web in search of an improved lock system to prevent this from occurring, I found it almost impossible to locate anything to remedy the situation. The kind of lock I was seeking was one that you could "hardening" for your entry into the home and make it difficult if not impossible for a criminal to obtain entry. I wanted something solid as opposed to the standard deadbolt currently in use. Most entry products on the market today can easily be kicked in. You can purchase commercial security locks however most residential doors are simply not built to the proper thickness for the commercial style locksets. In view of the difficulty in finding a desired lock I have created alternative methods of securing the doors of my home. click here

April 30, 2012 - "Quick Down and Dirty Prepping" By Joseph Parish. I often hear people complaining that they don’t have much money to invest in emergency prepping or they will say I simply do not have enough time to stock up on all the items I would need in the event that the balloon goes up. In as few of words as possible this is a lot of bunk. In all reality you do not need to be rich to stock up and survival a 30 day ordeal safely. click here

April 30, 2012 - "The Divide" This movie involves nine strangers -- all tenants of a New York high rise apartment --escape a nuclear attack by hiding out in the building's bunker-like basement. Trapped for days underground with no hope for rescue, and only unspeakable horrors awaiting them on the other side of the bunker door, the group begins to descend into madness, each turning on one another with physical and psycho-sexual torment. As supplies dwindle, and tensions flare, and they grow increasingly unhinged by their close quarters and hopelessness, each act against one another becomes more depraved than the next. While everyone in the bunker allows themselves to be overcome by desperation and lose their humanity, one survivor holds onto a thin chance for escape even with no promise of salvation on the outside. Could this be how it will be in those days? Click here.

Well search no longer as your solution is as close as one of those metallic chip bags. Turn on your radio and place it in your "bag-cage", if it loses signal it is good. Or you could put a cell phone in there and call it. If it goes directly to voicemail without ringing your cage is a success.
