Most people assume they can just feed their pets human food if they have to, but that's not always true. Animals have different nutritional needs, and foods that are okay for humans could make your pets sick. And there other considerations besides food, anyway. Here are a few things you should gather for them.

1. Pet Food - Start with at least a two-week supply of food, then build from there. How long it lasts depends on what you get. Your pet food will last a lot longer if you buy the good stuff from a pet store and avoid the imported stuff found at places like Walmart...

A Quick Guide To Water Filters

Water is the first line of survival. It doesn’t matter how well prepared you are in other areas. You can live longer without food than without clean water. Dirty water kills more people than disasters. A good water filter can mean the difference between life and death. Over the years, I have advised a lot …

8 Natural Weapons You Can Find In The Wild

In a remote, wilderness survival situation, the needs are fairly basic: water, fire, shelter and food. But in some environments, a need for weapons emerges. On a basic level, simple weapons can be used for hunting.  

In areas where wildlife is well established, there may be a need for self-defense if not the reassurance that you can at least do something if confronted by a wolf or worse—a pack of feral dogs. Bears are another possibility but primitive survival weapons are no match for a charging bear.

If you look at a history of primitive weapons you’ll see some fundamental source materials for weapon making. They include...

8 Natural Weapons You Can Find In The Wild

 

Although Extremely Dangerous, the Molotov Cocktail Allows Even an Untrained Civilian to Take on a Tank

The near-total mobilization of Ukraine’s citizenry in the face of war with Russia has resulted in everyday people pitching in to help the resistance. One weapon in mass production, the Molotov cocktail, is so simple that citizens can make it in their kitchens with ordinary ingredients. The result is a lethal, handheld weapon that is even effective against the most heavily-protected tanks.

Natural disasters don't wait for a convenient time

And you shouldn't wait to prepare either. In some cases there is little to no warning.

Prepare now to lessen the impact of disasters and emergencies

 

Remember:  You can’t buy life insurance after you’re dead!

When you think about packing up items to help you survive a natural or human-made disaster, you often think of backpacks. And there is good reason.

Backpacks are sturdy, lightweight, and with multiple pouches and pockets, they allow you to stow a large number of essentials. They come in expandable widths and sizes to fit even your smallest family members. And the best part is that your hands remain free with a backpack.

DIY Homemade Tear Gas & Weapons from our Readers

Unusual survival resources and DIY Weapons from the Poor Man archives…

 

   One of our readers suggested including a pencil sharpener in your bug-out bag to sharpen sticks with.  Sounds dumb to me unless it is chop sticks you need to sharpen.  I prefer a variety of knives and a machete which can be used for many, many tasks.

 

Others have told me they take old metal files and convert them into knives.  Not a bad idea but time consuming, even with a bench grinder.

 

As I’ve mentioned in several posts over the years, the main idea behind home and personal security is to keep a low profile.  Refrain from driving that new Porsche or Mercedes and don’t brag to others how well prepared you are or about how many guns you have (that was the primary reason why I turned down the ‘opportunity’ to appear on NatGeo TV’s Extreme Preppers.

 

Since we plan to be completely off-grid by summers’ end this year, I’m already concerned about disguising our solar and wind turbine system.  If the SHTF, the bad guys will look for self sufficient homes to rob.

 

As a kid we made a ton of smoke bombs using sugar and salt peter…lots of fun but some of my neighbors were not as amused and called the fire department on us once.

 

I know some of you are concerned about the possibility of accidentally setting off your smoke alarm or igniting the mixture during preparation. There is safer way to make a smoke bomb. It uses the same ingredients and produces a comparable amount of smoke, but it takes a bit longer to make. Here's how to make the safer smoke bomb:

 


Smoke Bomb Ingredients

  • potassium nitrate or saltpeter (if you can't find it at a garden store I see Skylighter sells it online)
  • sugar (sucrose)
  • water
  • fuse
  • paper or plastic cups
  • plastic spoon
  • waxed paper

Construct the Smoke Bombs

  1. In a paper or plastic cup, mix 3 parts potassium nitrate with 2 parts sugar (e.g., 3 tablespoons potassium nitrate and 2 tablespoons sugar).
  2. Using your plastic spoon, stir in just enough water to make a thick paste. Continue stirring until the ingredients are evenly mixed.
  3. Set lumps of the mixture (~1 tablespoon each or a little less) onto the waxed paper. Insert a fuse into each lump.
  4. Allow the smoke bombs to set up for 1-2 days. The drying time will depend on temperature and humidity. Warmer and drier is faster; cooler and damper will take longer. Keep the smoke bombs away from excessive heat or flame. The smoke bombs will be like clay when they are ready, not hard and solid.
  5. Set a completed smoke bomb outdoors on a fireproof surface and light it.

Another reader told me about making your own slingbow which can be used to hunt small game.  I have several high grade sling shots and spare slings but this looks useful as well.  Hell, I often feel like David going against Goliath anyway!  Find a short how-to here at the SHTF site…

How To Make Tear Gas In Your Basement

The method of making tear gas is so simple that anyone can do it. The two things to remember are care and caution. You will need a certain amount of equipment but, you can find them in any hobby shop, or home chemical supplier. If you don’t already own a gas mask, go out and get one. They are sold at any Army-Navy stores for under 10 bucks…
