A Prepper Guide For Seniors

Posted on September 14, 2020 by

Prepper guides are generally created with a wide demographic in mind. However, they can become even more practical when tailored to meet more individualized needs. One demographic in particular, seniors, seem to often lack specialized prepping guides.  There are several special considerations to take into account for seniors (or family members of seniors) who are working towards being well-prepped and safe. Some of these considerations include assisted living vs. independent living, access to healthcare, and mobility.  With these in mind, seniors can have a more inclusive prepper guide that will help them perfect the art of survival.

Pandemic 2020 #2 – COVID-19 is Not a Hoax

Posted on May 27, 2020 by

If you are doing your own research on this COVID-19 disease and all that’s happening with it, then it’s likely you’re coming across some conflicting information. One of the main issues in finding reliable COVID information is the large amount of politicizing taking place. You would think with a global killer pandemic we could pull together, but apparently not.  I’ve just finished looking at this CDC “report”  everyone is referring to (https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/hcp/planning-scenarios.html). First of all, it’s not a report, it’s a series of planning scenarios. Second, the information is at least a month out of date. And thirdly and most … Continue reading →

Alternatives to the N95 Mask

Posted on February 18, 2020 by

If you’re having a difficult time finding N95 respirators (masks), here’s an alternative to consider; And these alternatives work as good or better than the typical N95! Reusable half face respirators can use a wide variety of filters, including P95 and P100 filters. Note that the ‘P’ designation means the filter material is oil proof. The filter for these masks come in pairs and are about as expensive as N95 and N100 masks, perhaps even a little cheaper. And, most importantly, you can still find them, even though all the N95 and N100 masks are sold out. There are different … Continue reading →

Countdown to Prepare for COVID-19

Posted on February 15, 2020 by

Despite what they say, I do think those in positions of authority are highly concerned, especially given the actions they’ve taken. Then, of course, there’s this nugget of news: WHO Advisor Says Coronavirus May Infect Over 5 Billion People [https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/shocking-admission-who-advisor-says-coronavirus-may-infect-over-5-billion-people] Technically, this coronavirus has been named, “severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2,” or SARS-CoV-2 for short. The disease is causes is Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The big issue with the SARS-CoV-2 virus is we don’t know enough about it yet and what we do know is mostly coming from China.

2019-nCoV – The Wuhan Coronavirus Potential Pandemic Operations

Posted on February 6, 2020 by

Editor’s Note: I am posting this on here for others to use as a thinking tool. This was written by me, for me, though some of the content has been taken from other sources. I’ve included links for those sources where I felt it was needed. Please keep in mind that I make no warranty to the accuracy of this information. At this time, finding N95 or N100 masks is futile, as all stock is gone. Stock seems to be gone even faster than previous high-tension periods. If you didn’t already have them, chances are you’re not going to get … Continue reading →

Posted on December 18, 2019 by

Growing Moringa to protect yourself from radiation is possible, regardless of the growing zone where you reside and even if you live in an apartment.

The Drumstick Tree Every single part of the Moringa tree is edible – the leaves, seeds, flowers, nuts, … Continue reading →
