The Ebola Outbreak: How to Prepare, Protect, Diagnose, Treat, And Survive A Ebola Pandemic

Be prepeared!!
They say ignorance is bliss; but not always! There are things that need your
absolute attention. A pandemic is one such thing that calls for your 100%
attention. At the current moment, the world is griped with terror with the
ever increasing death toll of the Ebola Virus outbreak.
What started off about 6 to 8 months ago in Western Africa has now slowly
started making its presence felt in the Western world. There is a sudden
panic and also a lot of uncertainty about this virus. This uncertainty is,
of course, a result of general lack of information on the subject.
This is exactly where this eBook comes in handy. Through the course of
this eBook, we will discuss everything you need to know about the
Ebola Virus, how it started, its history and the current situation that
has terrorised the world. We will also give some advice on how to deal
with a pandemic and keep your family safe in such times.
So, rather than being one of those people who turn a blind eye to a
condition as grave as the Ebola virus pandemic, be the one to take the
time to learn and understand more about it.

Off-Grid Way To Wash Clothes

This thought came to my mind the other day when I ran out of coffee and almost threw the can away.

The lid fits tight on these plastic canisters. It is big enough to be able to put underwear, socks, and other small items in. Put them in and add hot water and very little soap. Shake it up for a few minutes and then pour out into a sink or into a Salad Spinner .One of those helps a lot with getting the water out of the clothing after you have drained the water out of the clothes. After you get done washing your unmentionables you can then hang them on a Folding Clothes Drying Rack for them to dry. Great way to wash clothes while camping also. 

Homemade Ornaments

This is a great thing for the kiddos. Easy and it smells good.

Mix together an equal amount of cinnamon and applesauce. Start with just 1 cup each and keep adding cinnamon until you have a good, stiff dough. You can then roll it out to about 1/2 inch thick and then use Christmas cookie cutters to make cute and aromatic Christmas ornaments. Don't forget to put a small hole in them for the hanger.

Let them dry for several days on a cookie sheet or a wire cooling rack.

Getting Prepped For Flu Season ( or any other disease, virus, ebola)

Just got a package of some supplies for getting prepped for cold and flu season. Or any other type of virus, etc.

Today , we got some goggles and a box of 20 respirator face mask.

I also had gotten some gloves the other day. Some of those Nitrile gloves and then some thicker gauntlet style to put on over them. A pretty good start on the flu & cold survival kit. I also have stocked up on a bunch of different medicines , cough drops, tylenol, pepto, and any thing else that I could think of. Each week I have been buying and focusing on one thing medical wise. Now have a pretty good stockpile. Should last the whole cold season.

Purify Water By Distillation

Distillation is an extremely effective way to purify water. It is a process of boiling the water and then catching the water vapor as it condenses. It is very effective at removing all types of pathogens. Bacteria, Protozoa, and viruses. It also can do an excellent job at removing chemical contaminants.

The number one disadvantage of using distillation to purify water is that it takes a long time. It could take up to 6 hours to get one gallon of water. Which would use a lot of fuel. Maybe not a good idea during a disaster , when you might not have any electricity. There is always going to be plenty of wood to make an open fire to boil water.

Here is one way to do it without electricity:

1. Open fire, propane or gas stove.
2. Stainless Steel Boiler
3. Reflux column
4. Cold Water for the condenser

For distilling water, you do not need packing.
Here is the distillation process:

1. First fill the boiler with water. This can be the dirtiest of waters, rain or even county water.
2. Attach the column/tower to the boiler with whatever size clamp or connector to make sure you have a complete seal.
3. Hook water hoses to the condenser.
4. Place the distiller on top of the fire.
5. Bring the water to a boiling point.
6. As the steam enters up the tower/column it will go through the condenser and is converted into distilled drinkable water that comes out of this into a bowl or glass jug.
