Prepping: The Next Big Political Movement?


Written by Colleen Owens


Prepping (Seceding AND Succeeding - One Family at a Time) 
 Fresh Food and Food Storage“Growing your own food is like printing your own money!”

This sentence seems like something most could imagine coming from a libertarian/conservative type person that practices “prepping”. Instead it is something that Ron Finley said in a recent TED Talk. Finley is a self-proclaimed “guerilla gardener” from South Los Angeles.
Watching his video, Finley does not seem like a conservative prepper and the people in neighborhoods he is trying to help definitely are not conservative. Yet, much of what he has to say about growing your own food is very similar to the philosophies held by people that consider themselves ‘preppers’. 
Finley, along with other volunteers, is working to plant vegetables in urban vacant areas around where he lives. His TED Talk has gone viral with ove r 615,000 views as of March 26th. In Finley’s lecture, he talks about helping poor urban areas often referred to as “food deserts” because of the lack of grocery stores and fresh food. His group is trying to teach food independence.

Jalapeño Gal's Way of Living: Make Your own Food Storage Rotation Shelf System

Make Your Own Food Storage Rotation Shelf System

via The Ready Store

(Note: I have not personally designed these shelves yet, however it appears the design is for # 10 cans.  I feel this design is an excellent choice, but for our family I would alter it to fit regular, large  and tuna sized cans. It seems a waste of material and time to design a shelf for #10 cans when they last 20+ years and do not need to be rotated. That is just an observation from my POV.)

This Photo is NOT the actual design in the article.
When using your food storage, you’ll want to make sure that you are tracking your cans of food storage correctly. After all, no one wants to find a dusty old can that they purchased 30 years ago (even though with freeze-dried food, it still would be good.)

Magnitude 5.8 earthquake hits in Oaxaca, Mexico: USGS | Reuters



WASHINGTON | Tue Mar 26, 2013 9:44am EDT
(Reuters) - A 5.8 magnitude earthquake struck near the southwestern coast of Mexico on Tuesday, shaking buildings in Mexico City, but there were no reports of major damage or injuries.
The quake was centered six miles west of Pinotepa Nacional in Oaxaca, the U.S. Geological Survey reported. The state's governor said on his Twitter account there were no immediate reports of damage.

The quake, which struck at 13:04 GMT (9.04 a.m. EDT), was 20.5 miles deep, the USGS said.
Some buildings in Mexico City were evacuated, but the mayor said on Twitter that there were no reports of damage.

Making a 32-Piece Every Day Carry (EDC) Survival Kit

February 11, 2013
my edc
My wallet isn’t thick and it’s certainly not lined with credit cards, but I do carry something with me every day that is much more important than any piece of plastic from a financial institution. It’s my Every Day Carry (EDC) Survival Kit.
I put this kit together many years ago with one thought in mind: if I were to get stranded on the side of the road over night, if I were to get lost in the woods for a few days, if I were to not be able to make it home for any reason and had to spend the night without food or pre-made shelter, what would I want to have with me to make my stay more pleasant.

Guns and Gear - Foxwell: Tips for women buying their first handgun/The Daily Caller

Foxwell: Tips for women buying their first handgun

By Amelia Foxwell, Z7 Tactical

You have made one of the most important decisions of your life and of the lives of those who love you. Many women struggle with the decision to buy a handgun and I’m here to help you. 
Now that being said, you have arrived at the corner of empowerment and gunpowder and unfortunately there is no sign showing you what to do next.
I know the feeling. I was there and I wish someone had taken the time to help me instead of misleading me, ripping me off and belittling me. I was alone until I hit the empowerment jackpot (I now rent him out for the low price of $250 a weekend. He makes a terrible mess and snores horribly but he is an amazing defensive trainer). Many women are not so fortunate. 
These articles are for all women who do not have an in-house firearms coach and who, like I did years ago, are starting this journey alone. I am writing these articles to share with you what I have learned from my experiences and to take the mystique and angst out of buying your first handgun.
The first two things to think about when buying your first handgun are price and reliability.

Urban Survival Garden | Guerilla Gardening Part 2

FAQs About Urban Survival Gardens
@Greenjeans
Editor's Note: The link to the original article is no longer used by the author at this time. _MP 

What is an Urban Survival Garden?

An urban survival garden is a garden that you can cultivate in a small area. Its purpose is to provide food and possibly medicinal herbs in times of hardship, a food crisis or economic collapse. It can also serve the purpose of saving money on your grocery bill and provide you with fresh, organic vegetables at a fraction of the cost of store bought organic produce.
Whether you need a small urban survival garden or just want to know how to grow a few things “just in case”, I hope you find what you are looking for on this site. If there is something in particular you would like to know about, please feel free to contact me.

How much space do I need for an urban survival garden?

Urban survival gardens do not require much “land” at all. In fact, you don’t even need to own land to have an urban garden. Many people use pots and other various containers to grow their plants.
That said, if you do have a bit of land that you can use for planting a garden, your choice of plant selections will be increased. Meaning, that you’ll have more planting options open to you. For instance, plants that have a much deeper root system will do better in ground, even on a small plot of land.
