Build an Emergency (Bug-Out) Kit:

Call it what you want, this is an essential tool in any emergency plan whether staying where you are or bugging out. Everything is together in one container to grab-n-go and easy to transport or store. Each person (and pet) should have their own as well as each vehicle. Each bag should have a minimum of the "Eleven Cs (11-Cs)" supplies inside. In the event of an Emergency, this bag should be one of the first things to grab and stay with you through the entire emergency event. Contents: The contents of your Bug-Out Bag will be as individual as you are. Item categories are, basically, universal. Think small/compact and light weight. Expand on the Eleven Cs (11-Cs)

Air-filtering masks

Eye protection

Shelter - tent, space blankets

Water container and methods to filter/purify

Food - emergency bars, basic fishing/snare gear, utensils

Multi-tool, saw, shovel

Fire-making skills/supplies for heat, light and cooking

Cordage - rope, paracord, duct tape

Compass and map

First Aid kit

Whistle

Mini sewing kit

Flashlight - hand crank, solar or xtra batteries

AM/FM/NOAA radio - hand crank, solar or xtra batteries

Emergency cash and/or credit/debit card

Clothing - gloves, hat, coat, extra, raingear

Self-Defense tools

Important documents and contacts on flash drive

Entertainment - playing cards Other items to consider but K.I.S.S. (Keep It Simple Survivor).

Learn How to Properly Use Your Gear and Supplies and When: If I have all the stuff in the world to go camping or use in an emergency, but don't know how to use my stuff, all I have is STUFF. And, if I don't have a plan for my camping trip or what I will do in an emergency, now I have a pile of stuff with no map to follow for their effective use. Face-to-face with an emergency, or at the campsite, is not the time to learn how to use the gear and supplies that has been accumulated for this very purpose. What was thought to be the right tool when purchased, may now prove to be no help at all "in the moment". Don't go unprepared with not having the correct supplies in the correct quantities and not knowing how to use those supplies. Make the time to learn how to properly use all of the gear when it's first acquired and to discover if it should stay or be traded for something better. Use supplies and gear, periodically, as a refresher course. Initial testing and periodic refreshers will help take some of the stress out of the actual camping or emergency event.

• Look at, and slowly handle, each item to learn how it works. • Rehearse, in your mind, why each item is significant, and what role it will fill in any scenario. • Recall any past experience, information, and training that each item has been used. • Secure Gear. Place each item securely in your pack, in proper order for use. Keep everything tied down or zipped closed. • Exercise and drill with "full gear" to understand personal limits and adjust if needed. • ALWAYS keep your pack on your person or within direct arm's reach. • Never wander away from your pack to, possibly, forget where you left it. • Never place your pack on a slope, hill, or ledge to, possibly, fall or roll away. • Never leave items laying randomly on the ground, making them hard to find.

Prioritizing Use of Gear and Supplies: Part of knowing your gear is knowing their limitations, quantity available and alternatives that can be used in their place. Your gear and supplies are not inexhaustible. Before using your supplies, think of other renewable resources that might be used instead so that your exhaustible supplies can be used as a last resort another time. Save the most precious resources as a last-ditch option; the "most precious use last". For example; never start a fire with a lighter if a magnesium fire-starter (ferro rod) is available and don't use the ferro rod if the sun (renewable resource) is available (using a magnifying glass). Hunt or gather off the land for food before eating your packaged, long-term food supply. Filter a natural water supply before drinking stored/bottled water. Test with Your Bug-Out Bag (BOB): Create a list of exercises, drills, and tactics (sample below) that will test the gear, no matter what it is.

Small hikes building up to multiple miles

Urban and outdoor tactical drills

Crawling, running, swimming, lying prone for extended periods of time

Running and jogging with fully loaded BOB

Pushups and pull-ups

Climbing steep hills with all weaponry

Climbing urban environments such as stairs, walls and fences

Long hikes with sprints and running

Perfecting your stances for long periods of time while crouched

Compact and Lightweight: Innovations and technology have made bug-out supplies more compact and lightweight. When putting a bug-out bag (BOB) together, research the many options that are available, keeping these two factors in mind as well as quality. Here is a suggestion: Compressed Towel "Tablets" come in a variety of sizes and can be used for cleaning and bandages. Just add water to expand. Dollar Store Checklist NOTE: While water is essential to life, it is heavy (8 pounds per gallon) so carrying large quantities is not practical. That's why a reuseable container (suitable for carrying and boiling water) and water purification method(s) should be included in the kit if you'll be on the move. Proper Packing: There is a correct way to load a backpack; something most hikers find out the hard way while suffering from all sorts of uncomfortable backpack related pains out on the trail. Everyone wants to cram as much stuff as they can in their pack but, realistically, determine how much YOU can carry and for how long and how far. The only sure way to find out is to Test Your BOB.

Determine how much you can, realistically, carry and don't exceed that weight limit

Pack only gear that is "essential" to your ultimate survival (11 Cs)

Choose lighter-weight alternatives to heavier and bulky

Choose items that serve more than one purpose to help lighten your load

While some packing rules are flexible and will depend on your unique needs, there are a few rules of thumb you should keep in mind.

Bottom of the Bag - items you don't need quickly (tent, sleeping bag)

Middle of the Bag - heaviest gear packed somewhere near the middle of the backpack (near your belt line).

Top of the Bag - filled with light items and the gear that you will need the most.

DIY Primitive Bushcraft Backpack: Regardless of what you have to carry, most times, strapping it to your back, or over the shoulder or around your waist will be easier than holding it in your hands. In a survival situation, your hands should be free to hack through brush, move branches, hold a compass or carry a walking stick, to name just a few. If, for whatever reason, you find yourself without a useful pack, learn how to make your own. You can lash a frame together with rope and fill the frame with some kind of bag or tarp, or just tie a bag shut and sling it over your shoulder or tie it around your waist or make a pack or pouch from scratch with the materials on hand, like tree bark, animal skin, vines, clothing, whatever. Here are some ideas for your brain to ponder: [Bushcraft BackPack Video 1] [Bushcraft Packing Video] [Bucket BackPack] [Pants BackPack] [Tree Bark Pack] [Grapevine Basket] [Making Your Dispatched Deer into a Backpack] FEMA Restrictions: If The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) wakes you up in the middle of the night with an alleged community emergency, understand that they prohibit "hazardous" items (guns, knives, lighters, etc.) and limits the amount of items a "victim" can bring with them to a FEMA Emergency Facility (field camp). If you become a "guest" of a FEMA Field Camp, you cannot bring any pets and what you bring must fit on your lap. If a sudden event causes you to become a FEMA Guest, it's best to prepare for such an encounter by building a FEMA-friendly kit within your Bug-Out Bag as the Bug-Out Bag may not comply with their guidelines. You may only have minutes to evacuate, with FEMA assistance, so having this kit at the ready is a good preparedness step. It is recommended to bring your wallet with legal, government-issued, identification and cash:

Your Emergency Bag may be OK as long as its contents comply with FEMA guidelines (above)

Ear plugs to help sleep in a room full of noisy people

USB drive containing electronic copies of important documents

The Importance of Fasteners

One of the categories of preps that are of top importance are fasteners. Now, we are talking primarily for the purpose of bugging out. That is, if you are forced to leave your home for a safer location.

My personal opinion is that you should "bug in", or stay at home, if possible when the SHTF event occurs. Unless you are in danger, and it would be safer to leave your home, you should plan to remain there and "shelter in place".

However, it may indeed be safer, in some scenarios, to leave your home and seek a more remote, protected location. For example, if you live in a large city, bugging out may turn out to be the best option for survival. Let's say your water supply is compromised due to a grid-down situation where sewage treatment plants cannot continue to operate. Without a supply of potable water, your life is definitely in danger. Cities will also be quick to devolve into rampant crime and wandering hoards of criminals and hungry people. Bugging out may be your best option, in a case like this.

However, even if you are able to remain at home, FASTENERS will be important to have on hand. You need fasteners to hang blankets on doorways, for example, to keep heat in one area of the house in cold weather. You certainly need them for building and maintaining a shelter if you're bugging out. They will come in handy for innumerable purposes, especially if the crisis lasts a significant period of time.

Below is a checklist of fastening materials you should have in abundance in your prepper stash. Most are very inexpensive and can be found at discount stores, hardware stores, etc. as well as online. As you peruse the list, you will see why these items could well be needed in an emergency survival scenario.

Clips: You'll need a variety of clips for fastening, particularly in fashioning shelters. These include; binder clips, kitchen food bag clips, clothespins, carabiner clips, paper clips and some good, strong spring clamps

Rope and String: Make sure you have plenty of these on hand before the SHTF! Cotton string, twine, yarn, fishing line, dental floss, shoe laces, boot laces, clothesline rope, acrylic rope, cotton braid rope, sisal rope, paracord (lots of paracord) [make sure you teach yourself how to make a variety of KNOTS - there are plenty of instructional books and videos to help you]

Hardware: Have an assortment of various sizes of nails, screws, small tacks, thumb tacks, nuts, washers, hinges

Adhesives: Super glue, gorilla glue, apoxy glue, all-purpose adhesive

Tape: Electrical tape, duct tape, shipping tape, masking tape, scotch tape, foam tape, painter's tape

Wire: floral wire, galvanized steel wire

Kitchen type fasteners: bread ties, elastic bands, plastic zip ties in various sizes

Additional fasteners: bungy cords, velcro, safety pins, adhesive waterproof patches

If you can think of additional fasteners that would be good to have, please message me and let me know, and I'll add them!

6 items you'll need in a long term power outage

Living in America in the 21st century means you probably have access to a good power grid.  Blackouts and busted transistors are rare, but they do happen.  That's why when the lights do go out, you see people running around panicking.

Don't be one of those people.  Plan and prepare for a power outage before it happens so you can turn it into something fun for the family, and not riddled with anxiety.

Here are 6 items you'll need in a long term power outage

1. Flashlights or Headlamps

Obviously, if the power goes out you're going to need light. A good flashlight will have a zoom function so you can stand it up and use it to illuminate a room. Headlamps are good in situations where you need two hands.

2. Batteries

Without power, batteries become more valuable than gold. Maybe not on the second or third day but by day 5, when people start running out of juice, they will be ready to trade for power. Consider getting rechargeable batteries, and multiple sizes. You will want a solar charger as well.

3. Portable Gas Stove

Unless you can cook outside every day, you'll want a portable stove that can cook your meals. In the winter these can produce good heat as well. Kerosine bottles can be found on sale for as low as $1.

4. Power Inverter

If you're trying to use electronics like a laptop, you'll quickly see how fast you run out of juice.  The power inverter lets you turn your car battery into a replenishable power source.

5. Solar Battery Banks

A battery bank or charger will keep your devices charged up, even if it isn't very sunny. If you're waiting for loved ones to check in, the last thing you want is a dead battery when they try to call.

6. Kerosene Heater

If you're in a colder climate, staying warm can be tough.  Cooking meals over an open flame helps, but depending where you live it might not be enough.  For warmer climates, you can try to make your own AC but buying one from Home Depot will set you back a few hundred and they take up a lot of juice.

Tips for Sheltering in Place:

Sheltering in place is [hopefully] a short-term solution to address a biological, chemical, nuclear, radiological or civil unrest threat. The objective is to protect those of us inside, from the bad stuff outside. Pre-planning should stock the "shelter" with water, food and other supplies for, at least, 2-weeks without venturing outside. Additional tips, here, will help take the necessary actions to effectively shelter in place. Learn how to evaluate When Bugging Out Is not an Option. Stay where you are (Shelter In Place) at home, or at work, and be able to Survive Where You Are for a reasonable period of time without any outside assistance. An Emergency Kit will be just as important when Sheltering In Place as it would be if evacuating (bugging out). Fortifying your residence (or where you are) at the time of an emergency, my require blocking and covering windows and doors for protection against bad weather or intruders. This should be considered and planned long before it is necessary.

6 Items That Are Flying Off Shelves Before Hurricane Irma

Did you think Hurricane Harvey was bad? I know I did. But a recent study of 94 hurricanes has shown us that hurricanes with female names are even more deadly.

"Their findings — based on data from 94 hurricanes that made landfall in the U.S. from 1950 to 2012 — were telling. While hurricanes with masculine names caused an average of 15.15 deaths, those with female names caused 41.84 deaths."

Currently, Hurricane Irma looks like it could be even more powerful than Harvey.  

This means if you're in the path of the storm, you could be looking at a loss of utilities for a week or more depending on how much damage is done to infrastructure. If you have not stocked up on survival supplies, the time to do so is now.

Here are 6 items that will sell out the fastest

1. Bottled Water

Bottled water is the first thing to go when the loss of utilities is a possibility. If you think you might run out of water, consider filling your bathtub up first.  Then you can boil or use a water filter to clean it. Think about getting a Water Bob which allows you to use your tub as a fresh water reserve. Reminder: 1 gallon per person per day.  A family of four will need 28 gallons to last a week.

2. Batteries

Batteries are one of the fastest things to go because they're the only thing most people will be able to rely on to keep them connected if the utilities go down. Consider a solar battery charger to keep your devices fresh as well.

3. Food

Canned food flies off the shelves right before a big storm. Soups and stews are great and only require heat to prep. These require no prep skill you can make them with a camping stove and mess kit. You'll also want dry snacks that don't require heat or water like beef jerky, power bars, and dried fruit.

4. Portable Propane

If your power goes out you can still use your propane grill to cook up some food. These tanks sell fast because a lot of people have grills that don't get much use throughout the year until a big BBQ or disaster comes along.

5. Flashlights and Candles

Flashlights (preferably rechargeable and waterproof) and candles will be the only thing that illuminates your home in the event that you lose electricity.  Candles can be used to create waterproof fire starters as well if you feel like you may need to bug out of town.

6. Generators

If you can afford a generator then get one. The downside is that you will need a few cans of gas if you're looking at being out of power for a week or more.  You could always go with a battery generator but once you drain it, you'll be waiting a long time before your solar charger refills its juice.

What's one thing you always stock up on before a storm?
