There’s no magic bullet for self-reliance…More
solid resources and tips
The goal of self-reliance
is to achieve sovereignty in our connected, civilized world. It’s to remember
that your judgments are valid — even if, especially if, they’re
unpopular. It’s remembering you don’t need to be on a side, that the team
colors people try to throw on you may not actually represent who you are.
ou can
break out of zip ties even with your hands behind your back.
For
example, you should switch out your current shoelaces for 550 paracord (which
comes in every color imaginable).
Now...
- When your hands
are zip-tied behind you, reach down with your bound hands and untie one
(or both) of your shoes
- Loop one of the
laces up through the zip ties and re-tie it in a square knot to the other
shoelace. (Note: It’s best to tie the very end of one shoelace to a spot
about halfway down the end of the other lace. This makes sure the knot
isn’t at the very center of the now connected laces. You’ll see why next…)
- Your paracord
laces should now be looped through the inside of your zip ties near your
wrists
- Next, raise your
body up so that your cuffs are pulling hard against the paracord as your
laces tighten up
- Now with a short
back-and-forth motion of your hands, “rub” the cuffs against the taut
paracord super-fast in a single spot on the zip tie, creating friction
between the cord and the cuffs.
Within
a short time, you’ll have burned through enough of the plastic to twist your
wrists, using leverage to break through the rest of the cuffs and escape! Watch here:
Bug-out
bag… go bag… 72-hour kit… As many names as there are for this essential piece
of survival gear, there are even more opinions about what items should go in
it.
Click
on the link above for one man’s expert advice on how to pack the perfect go
bag. But wait — what’s better than showing you how to put together this
lifesaving pack? Sending you all the gear you’ll need!
That’s
right. Through the SEAL Survival Box program, we’ll send you a box of
SEAL-approved survival gear every month. Each box also contains a secret link
to a video in which former Navy SEAL platoon commander Cade Courtley shows you
exactly where to place each piece of equipment for ultimate accessibility.

It’s
all well and good to know how to build a fire with a plasma lighter, stormproof
matches, Swedish Firesteel, fatwood and an array of kindling. But if push came
to shove, would you be able to build a roaring fire with a single match?
In
this short video produced by TrailAgain, Paul demonstrates how to successfully
start a one-match fire. It’s much easier than you would think, but there is a
specific technique to it.
Check
it out and give it a try. This is a handy skill to have in a pinch. When it
comes to survival, it’s always better to know how to do more with less.
With
Russia’s recent announcement of a new-and-improved nuclear arsenal, the threat
of an EMP blast disabling our power grid is more real than ever. I’ve covered a
few ways to build a Faraday cage to protect critical electronics in previous
issues, but how will you power those devices after the initial blast?
The
PrepperProject has some great videos on a variety of survival topics. This one
covers how to construct two types of EMP-proof generators. That way you have a
way to run critical equipment — like power tools, medical devices or radios.
After
you watch the presentation, be sure to visit their website for links to all the
resources mentioned in the video.
There
are a number of reasons why you might want to be notified of someone’s approach,
whether you’re camping or hiking or it’s a SHTF situation. Frankly, there’s no
better — or easier — way to set up an advanced warning system than this.
The
video above, found on the SensiblePrepper channel, walks you through how to set
up a simple perimeter alarm using surplus smoke grenade tops. This method is
inexpensive and effective and you can reuse your homemade devices over and over
again.

maximum efficiency. With this setup in place, you’ll never be caught by
surprise by an unwelcome visitor.
This
four-minute video shows you how to set up a rainwater collection system step by
step. It’s unbelievably easy. In fact, you could set it up on a Saturday
afternoon and have a fresh supply of water on Sunday.
Collecting
rainwater is a great way to reduce waste AND save money (if it’s legal in your
area). You can use it to water your plants or wash your car… you could even use
it as a source of drinking water in an emergency.
Just
be sure you have a reliable water filter to filter out viruses and bacteria so
it’s safe for your family to consume. My go-to survival filter is the
SurvFilter. This filter has been tested and proven to remove 99.99% of
contaminants. Plus, each filter insert lasts for 250 gallons before needing to
be replaced. Click here to see the SurvFilter in action.

I was up early & caught this...you must have just posted it. Lots of great, useful stuff!
Just read that Google and others are making it more difficult to find conservative sites like yours-I believe it is so. Keep up the good work my friend. I know you've been in the thick of it for years, longer than most any other site.
The way this country is headed, with all the anti-American socialists, I'd like to boot them out to another country that they would like better or confine them to CA where they all seem to salivate over the same BS.
Great resources! I did grab the freebie offer-excellent info. Thanks for sharing.
