Dirt Cheap Resources, Best Dogs, What You Should Hoard


Nearly everyone has a drawer, closet or room filled with, well, stuff. The word ‘hoarding’ generally evokes terrifying images of a house overflowing with useless junk – newspapers from the past thirty years, every can or bottle the hoarder has ever drunk from, and a seemingly endless supply of containers, wires, screws, and other things lying all over the place.

But it’s not always a bad thing: Take a guess at how many of those things we just listed can be useful. It’s time to sort out the junk drawer. Here’s what you should be hoarding and why...

 1. Packing Crates - Online orders often come in large wooden packing crates, and these are surprisingly sturdy. If not, they can be sourced from local stores who receive their stock on wooden pallets or in crates...

When it comes to survival foods, there are the staples such as rice and beans and pasta that can be found in almost every bunker. But there’s a whole host of other great survival foods that are often overlooked.

 If you’re a prepper, then chances are you already have most of the foods on this list, but I’m posting it on the off chance that you’ll come across a few great survival foods that you simply forgot. For example, I was recently surprised to discover I didn’t have any taco seasoning stockpiled, which is crazy because I love tacos!

 I thought sure I had some, but apparently I used it all and forgot to replace it. You can bet I fixed that situation immediately...


 


What are your thoughts on making a machete part of your survival gear?

- Donald R

Answer: A machete is a great survival tool. It can be used to clear brush, chop wood, and, of course, for self-defense. One of the best reasons a machete can be used for self-defense is because you can defend yourself without getting right up close to your attacker.

In other words, if you had to use a knife, you would obviously have to be closer to your attacker, but a machete lets you keep some distance.

Plus, a machete doesn’t run out of bullets. (The big blade that I prefer is called a Kukri, which is essentially, a better version of the machete.)

Recently I wrote an article about 11 urban survival skills that could save your life. And when I chose that title, I wasn't exaggerating. Having those skills during an urban disaster could literally mean the difference between life and death, which is why it's so important to start practicing them right now.

In this article, I want to switch gears and talk about urban survival mistakes that could get you killed. And again, I'm not exaggerating. If you make any of these mistakes, it could cost you your life. So now that you understand how serious this, let's move on to the list.

 1. Bragging About Your Preparedness - I know, it's hard to resist. You spend so much time thinking about preparedness, saving money, looking for great deals, gathering supplies, practicing skills, and so forth, that you're probably proud of yourself for accomplishing so much—and you should be...

Listening to a few people at the Iowa caucus who support Biden-I’m amazed that:

·         Anyone would support a man who obviously has memory loss

·         Would spout that he would unite the country-Dems are the ones dividing our nation

·         Completely ignore the good Trump has done for the economy, jobs, their 401k, etc.
