Frequently, I get questions from readers about prepping in an
urban environment. I understand the limitations: Most people living in
America’s cities heavily rely on infrastructure (water, power, sanitation)…
space is at a premium, which makes it difficult to stock ample supplies… and
keeping your emergency plans to yourself can be challenging with so many people
living on top of one another.
So here’s some great advice if you’re an urban dweller looking
to prep. This article offers five things you can do to make yourself an asset
to your neighbors in the event of an emergency.
As this piece mentions, in more densely populated areas,
cooperation is an essential virtue when it comes to surviving a crisis. So be a
good neighbor and click on the link above.
According to this piece originally published on dengarden.com, a well-tended
400-square-foot garden will feed a family of four. Not to mention fresh fruits
and vegetables from your garden will be a great addition to your emergency food
stores in a crisis situation.
In this article, you’ll learn:
- How to grow produce from
seeds as well as how to start a plant from a clipping
- Four ways to keep deer from
eating all your hard work and no less than 13 natural ways to control bugs
and insects
- Why canning is the preferred
method of storing your garden veggies — especially if the SHTF
- Three household items you can
use as mulch
- And how to harvest and make
use of rainwater.
It’s not too late to start a garden this year, so check out
these expert tips and tricks and get planting!

Recipe for Homemade
Cleaner:
I put about 1/4 cup of baking soda in
a small glass bowl and squirt in hydrogen peroxide until it makes a nice paste.
Then I rub it on the offending dirt/stain/grease…whatever! I
usually just use my fingers…but I also use a small sponge at times as well.

Glass Cleaner Ingredients
·
2 cups of water (distilled or filtered is best so it doesn’t
leave residue)
·
2 tablespoons vinegar
Combine ingredients in a
spray bottle (preferably glass) and use as needed to clean window. I like to
use a microfiber cloth to wipe windows clean with this recipe.
Note: If you have always used commercial window cleaner
in the past, mix a couple drops of liquid castille soap or liquid dish soap in
some of this mixture the first time you clean the windows to remove detergent
residue.
