Native American grandfather was talking to his grandson about how he felt about
a tragedy. He said, “I feel as if I have two wolves fighting in my heart. One
wolf is the vengeful, angry, violent one. The other wolf is the loving,
compassionate one.” The grandson asked him, “Which wolf will win the fight in
your heart?” The grandfather answered, “The one I feed.” "

Quick Guide
to Surviving on Small Game
Having the skills to procure food in a long term
wilderness survival situation or post-event world is critical. You must have a
working knowledge of the edible plants in your area and be able to identify
them without hesitation. Wild edible plants are not enough though; you must
also possess the skills needed to harvest the wild game species native to your
environment.
Hunting and Trapping for Survival
There is a reason that primitive peoples were not
vegetarian; wild vegetation alone cannot provide the needed sustenance to
survive the hardships and physical labor of a life in the field.
For the most part, plants are low in calories. They excel
at supplying trace minerals and vitamins, but lack the cellular structure to
provide you the energy-rich food you need in a survival situation. That energy
comes from animal products in the form of protein and fat.
Common Survival Myth About Hunting
A common survival myth is that you can just head to the
nearest patch of forest and live off the large ungulates (deer, moose, elk,
caribou, bison) that abide there. The fact is, these types of critters can have
a huge range and are not a reliable food source to stake your life on.
Plus, the caloric expenditure needed to actively hunt
them could outweigh the gain and put you in a worse off position than you were to begin with. You should look to large game as a bonus
rather than the rule when in the field.
Small
Game Are Plentiful
The go-to wild meat source is small game: squirrel, rabbit, chipmunk, dove, waterfowl, packrat, songbirds, beaver, mice, raccoon, etc. Essentially any living animal that crawls, flies, or swims is fair game. The population density of small critters is much higher than that of the mega fauna on any given tract of land.
These animals are where you should spend your time and effort. A survival situation is no time for food prejudices. Although you cringe at the idea of eating something like a coyote now, I can assure you that when facing starvation that slab of meat is going to be top-shelf cuisine to your pallet.

National Preparedness Coalition
Al roker reveals 3 steps to weathering
a disaster
As part of the nation's largest online resource for
preparedness, it's easy for us to forget that not everyone is thinking about
preparedness. Did you know that while 60% of Americans agree it’s important for
all Americans to be prepared for natural or man-made disasters, only 15%
believe they are prepared for a disaster situation?
If this statistic is alarming to you, you are not alone.
Good news: you can help to change it…

The
Nanny State Updates… Americans
are fat n happy while their rights are trampled!
Here’s video of the offending display…
Meanwhile, as patriotism is punished, breaking federal
immigration laws is not. Jose Antonio Vargas, an admitted illegal alien, went
to Congress and scolded them for accurately referring to him as … well …
illegal.
Jose Antonio Vargas, an illegal immigrant and former
reporter, scolded a congressional panel on Wednesday, saying that he should not
be called illegal, and saying it is an insult to his family who brought him
here.
“When you inaccurately call me illegal, you not only
dehumanize me, you’re offending them,” he said. “No human being is illegal.”
Mr. Vargas testified to the Senate Judiciary Committee
alongside Chris Crane — a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent and
president of the ICE agents’ union — who is unable to arrest him under the
administration’s new non-deportation policies.
Human beings aren’t illegal, but their actions are Mr.
Vargas. This is why you are classified as an illegal alien – because you
illegally entered the country.

Drone
Wars-Draining more of your privacy every chance they get…
The widespread use of
drones among civilians represents a deep and dangerous intrusion into American
life.
"What we used to know as privacy is finished," said John Whitehead, a constitutional scholar and president of Virginia-based Rutherford Institute. "Big Brother is here to stay."
"What we used to know as privacy is finished," said John Whitehead, a constitutional scholar and president of Virginia-based Rutherford Institute. "Big Brother is here to stay."
In at least 13 states, lawmakers this year will examine bills to place strict limits on how government entities can deploy drones. No state has embedded such regulations into law.
With the booming interest in the myriad uses of UAVs comes nervous anxiety about the creep of the surveillance state. Read more…
