Provident Pantry Taco Mix Makes Yummy Chili!!
I made chili yesterday and used my Provident Pantry Taco Mix that I got from Emergency Essentials. I have to say that I loved it and noone in the family knew that it was not ground beef. Probably one of the best pots of chili that I have made. I also had added some of the Provident Pantry diced green peppers in it! Great chili and I will be buying more of the taco mix. You have to reconstitute the taco mix and the green peppers before you put it into the chili. But , that only takes about 10 minutes. In the morning I will be testing out some some coffee that I got at the Dollar Tree with FREE Shipping to a Dollar Tree Store!! Pick it up at one of our 3800 locations!
. I also will be trying out some Tortilla Soup from eFoodsDirect.com - The most powerful food supply!

Get A 72 Hour Kit With Solar Power Upgrade! Great Gift Idea!
The PERFECT Gift for Anyone -- Now ON SALE!!!
Our Best Selling 72-hour Survival Kit with UPGRADED Windup Solar Dynamo Radio.
Voted the #1 Emergency Kit by the Wallstreet Journal!
NEWS UPDATE--Nitro-Pak's "Executive KitTM" Rated #1!
Comparing FIVE leading internet preparedness companies, Nitro-Pak's "Executive 72 Hour Kit"
was Voted #1 as the "Best Overall" 72 Hr. Emergency Kit Sold in America by the 'Wall Street Journal' .
Now you can own the Best... Be Prepared-- Order your's NOW!
AS SEEN ON "CNN Headline News" & TV News Reports
The same Executive 72 Hour Survival Kit but UPGRADED with a Solar Dynamo Flashlight/Radio which replaces the standard radio (a $39 upgrade for only $18 difference). It has been one of our best sellers for OVER 9 YEARS!
We developed both our Executive 72 Hour Survival Kits to be the best, most portable 72 hour kits we could make yet still made it affordable! Don't let the 'executive' name in the title scare you off thinking it's too expensive. You'll get 'executive' quality and detail at a very attractive price.
Nitro-Pak has been building 72 hour kits for over 18 years now. We've learned a few things along the ways like what's really needed in your kit and what is just fluff. We realized at the offset that QUALITY COMPONENTS were essential. Our designers scouted the competition. We found that many so call "72 hour kits" were woefully inadequate! Their packs or bags were made so cheaply they wouldn't last 2 days with my 1st grader! Many had surplus items like old lightsticks, woefully lacking in food or water, etc., just to make'm cheap. We knew we could do much better and we did.
"Your slogan, 'Products That Bring Real-Peace-of-Mind & Security' is really true. Your
supplies & Executive 72 Hour Kit helped us make it through Hurricane Iniki on Kauai…
helping us to safely evacuate… your Solar Dynamo Radio worked great!"
Dr. Jeffery Sue, M.D., Kauai, Hawaii
Hey, like you, I love a great deal just as much as anyone, but I HATE to be taken, you know, it looks good on the outside of the package but inside is nothing like you thought you were buying. To be truthful (other dealers will not like me telling you this), there is no 'standard' of what is required to make a "72 Hour Kit", so do a little investigation and know what you are really purchasing. Your decision to buy a quality 72 Hour Survival Kit should not be taken lightly.
No matter what your budget is or where you purchase your preparedness supplies and 72 Hour Survival Kits, look closely at what you are getting for your money. Do not just look at the price alone, but at the quality of components you are getting… top quality or much less.
Remember, what you are really purchasing is a 'Survival Insurance Policy' to protect you and your loved ones. Put together piece by piece yourself, our standard Executive 72 hour Survival Kit would cost over $185 to assemble. The saving is a real 20%. Now that's a great deal especially when you consider you're getting the $39 value Solar Dynamo AM/FM Radio Upgrade for just $18!
Here are some things to look closely at when shopping for a good quality 72 Hour Survival Kit:
1. Quality of the Bag:
Most the time the search stops right here. Look closely at the quality of the bag. It should be well constructed, made to take heavy-duty abuse, have easy carrying handles and if a backpack, have padded shoulder straps. Does it have extra room for you to add an old sweatshirt or light jacket? How about extra room to add a pair of old tennis shoes (in an evacuation you can walk or run faster in tennis shoes than dress shoes or heels). Remember, this bag is going to protect your "survival insurance" supplies and it had better be up to the task. It should be able to endure the punishment of bouncing around in the trunk of your car for years.
2. First-Aid Kit:
Look closely here. Most kits simply include a ziplock bag with a few bandaids and antiseptic wipes. Better kits will have a much broader selection of first-aid items and also include a comprehensive first-aid book. First-aid kits can range from the $2 types to the $30+ types. Be sure your kit has a wide range of various first-aid supplies.
3. Food:
Be careful here. Your kit should only have foods specifically made to be non-thirst provoking, provide high calories (for energy), be low in protein (requires less water of digestion), not affected by high heat (think, car trunk in the summer), have a long shelf-life and yet still tastes good. Lifeboat 'emergency food rations' are ideal for 72 hour kits and meet all these requirements like the food bars made by Datrex or Mainstay. We recommend only the 3600 calorie size bars (1200 calories per day for 3 days). Smaller sizes are woefully inadequate.
4. Water:
Your kit should include water. Some kits have none. The best way to store water in your kit is using U.S. Coast Guard Approved "Lifeboat" water ration pouches. They have a 5 year shelf-life. At a minimum you should have 3 to 4 pouches (4 oz each) per day per person (or means to collect and store more). No, that is not a lot of water, but remember, weight is always a factor and you may need to hike with your kit for some distance.
5. Flashlight & Radio:
Here is often where good quality kits differ dramatically from lesser quality ones. Does your kit come with a quality flashlight and include batteries, or is it the $1 store type? Is there a backup light source such as an instant lightstick or long burning candle? Does it include a good quality am/fm radio? A radio should be included so you can hear the latest news reports and updates. It is also a good moral booster. Be sure batteries are included and that you rotate them every couple of years (you might even want to add an additional set for added safety). A windup rechargeable solar/dynamo radio would even be even a better choice like the one that comes with this upgrade kit.
6. Shelter, Heat & Warmth:
Many low cost kits do not include much. Protection from the elements is important. A heavy mil thickness 'tube tent' makes a low cost shelter for 2 people and should be included in your kit (it can also be used as a signaling device). Your kit should also have several items to cover the basics of Heat & Warmth, too, such as a long burning candle with MATCHES (for light & heat), instant pocket hand warmers and a Space® Blanket for each person. As always, remember quality. Most companies will only use low cost inferior knockoffs.
7. Is the Kit Made for 1 or 2 People?
Most preparedness experts recommend having one or multiple kits that protect 2 people each. The reason for that is when disaster strikes, you'll be preparedness for both you and someone else (child, co-worker, etc).
We take pride in every kit we make. Our Executive 72 Hour Survival Kit has been designed to provide maximum protection for you and your loved one when disaster strikes. All the survival basics are covered, including food, water, shelter, first-aid, light, heat, sanitation, communication, and more. Comes packed in a premium quality, heavy-duty nylon backpack so that everything is easily accessible when you need it and has plenty of extra room inside for a light jacket and spare set of comfortable walking shoes.
Over the years we have kept improving this kit. It gets better & better. Our customers have told us that they selected our Executive 72 Hour Survival Kit for its compact size (easily fits in any car or truck), ease of carrying, quality of the components, and very attractive price. Weight was also a major consideration for us when developing this deluxe kit. Not so much for guys, but for women and teen age children. At under 20 lbs., this kit is easily meets this standard. Why not order one for home and work! Weight: 20 lbs
Here are some highlights of what you'll get in this kit:
* Premium Quality Water Resistant Nylon Backpack
with padded Shoulder Straps
* Heavy-Duty Tube Tent Shelter
* Deluxe 60 item First-Aid Kit
* 5 Year Shelf-Life Cookie Flavored Food Rations
* 5 Year U.S. Coast Guard Water Rations
* Emergency Space® Blankets
* 36 Hour Light/Heat Candle
* Protective Leather Gloves & Dust Masks
* Quality AM/FM Radio

Strategic Relocation!! Where is the safest place to live in USA??
This is a book that we all need. A great resource for finding the perfect and safest place to move our families too. Over 400 pages full of usefull info.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION :
This is the long-awaited update of Mr. Skousen's classic book on relocation for security. Nearly 3/4 of this 3rd Edition is rewritten and it is expanded to 400 pages. In the process, the authors created all new graphics, charts and tables. There is also a new section on international retreat potential and 200 additional pages of analysis on every state and province of the US and Candada, complete with color maps.
The maps are chock full of detail, including private and public land use, satellite terrain features, military target areas, roads and graphic depictions of population density---one of our major threats to security in a crisis.
Despite the ongoing illusions of peace and prosperity, our world is getting less stable, not more. The economic foundations of the US and the world are all based on fiat money and are crumbling. Earthquakes, Hurricanes, War and terrorism are ever present threats, and the secondary effects of social unrest in large metropolitan areas will be disruptive and dangerous if there is a shortage of essential commodities that cause people to panic.
When you relocate or retire your prime concern should be long-term security, not recreation. Sometimes you can have both. This book is designed to help you relocate around serious threats and to develop contingency plans when you can't relocate due to work or family ties.
Strategic Relocation is more than just pointing out safe areas--simply because the safer the area, the harder it is, generally, to make a living and have access to the conveniences of life. For these reasons, relocation decisions are fairly complex, and Mr. Skousen walks you through all of the difficult choices and compromises that are inevitable in finding safety, without being totally isolated. This book has answers for nearly every situation.

Best Emergency Food Supply - Get It Before You Need It
Disasters are events that cause disruption to one's life, earthquakes, tsunamis, fires and flash floods to name a few. Catastrophes occur at the most unexpected times and most people are not prepared for these occurrences. We can never prevent them since they are caused by forces of nature. The only thing we can do is equip ourselves with items such as the best emergency food supply list that will be handy if and when such things happen.
Emergency Supply Checklist
A checklist of items for the emergency food supply that will be needed for weeks of survival is a must. It should include the basic necessities like food, water, flashlights and clothes. In this article, we will discuss the need to purchase the best emergency food supply before these this occurs.
Everyone needs to purchase the best emergency food supplies that are necessary during times of crisis. No one can ever tell when the next storm will hit or an earthquake occurs. Being prepared and aware is an advantage to any family. An emergency food supply list should be kept and maintained. It should include a variety of foods, fruits and vegetables that can supply energy in the long run.
Non-Perishable Foods
Canned fish and meat is something you should incorporate in your inventory of items. They have longer duration of expiration period and they are nutritious as well. Canned tuna for example is rich in Omega-3 which is good for the heart. During these times, canned fruits and vegetables are deemed essential as well and should occupy a big part of the food supply. Our health should be our priority and not compromised as much as possible. Crackers are light foods but can somehow satisfy one's hunger so this is required in the list of stored items.
Juice boxes that don't need refrigeration are beneficial since they contain a number of vitamins and minerals. An electrolyte drink that replenishes the fluid and electrolyte loss of the body is a valuable item to include. It is convenient for people with illness and dehydration so consider adding this in the food supply inventory. If you want to stay alive, mineral water in bottles may also come handy. It's a challenging task to look for a source of potable water during floods.
Multivitamins should be packed as well; it can provide the body's missing nutrients, so don't forget to include this in the best emergency food supply list. Protein rich foods like dried meats will suffice to meet the protein requirements of an individual. Cereals are also included in the emergency food supply list. It can also be repacked in Ziploc bags to prevent the flood water from soaking the contents.
This checklist of the foods and supplies you will need is just a guideline. If you are planning to stuff a bag for future use, always consider the items that have a longer shelf life and filled with nutrients. Take with you the food stuffs that will be enough for your family for about a week.
Keep in mind that evacuation centers are crowded with victims who will compete with you during allocation of donated goods, so gathering foods now will be in your best interest. The best emergency food supply that you have collected may be necessary if you get trapped in buildings or you can opt to donate them to those who are in need.

Why People Don't Prepare for Emergencies When They Should!
This emergency preparedness guide is not designed for the SHTF, TETOWAKA, or so-called 'survivalist' community but rather focuses on proven techniques that could save your life. This is a no-nonsense approach to personal disaster planning for the average person and is based on information from responsible aid organizations like the Red Cross, The Federal Emergency Management Agency, from industry professionals, and from my own training in homeland security.
Why You Should Prepare
Preparing for an emergency situation is often overlooked in the fast pace of modern life and there are many reasons to consider having at least a weeks worth of emergency supplies so that you and your family can survive until help arrives.
Most people take emergency responders for granted, not that they don't value their services, but that it is assumed that they will be there when needed; this is not always the case.
In the event of a large scale emergency, first responders and their resources will be quickly exhausted thanks to a sudden increase in demand.
First responders often become victims of disasters as their vehicles and equipment are often rendered useless until roads and debris are cleared.
Depending on the scale of the disaster it could take several days for outside emergency crews to respond from neighboring towns or states. (During Hurricane Katrina Helicopter Rescue Crews responded as from as far away as Kodiak, Alaska)
Budgeting constraints often leave local emergency services woefully understaffed and under equipped for average duty, let alone during a catastrophe.
Many people don't realize that they need to prepare for an emergency because they don't live in areas traditionally affected by natural disasters but there are literally hundreds of disaster scenarios that can occur anywhere and at anytime.
Possible Scenarios You May Not Have Considered:
Severe Seasonal Flooding
A prolonged mass power outage
Severe winter storms that shut down roadways
Prolonged public utility outages
Water shortages due to drought or contamination
Terrorist attacks involving Chemical Biological Radiological or Nuclear weapons
Naturally occurring epidemic
Wild fires
Food supply contamination (ie: E.coli or salmonella)
Despite the fact that many disasters can occur anywhere and at anytime, many people simply refuse to submit to reality and ready themselves for an emergency situation. Let's take a look at some of the reasons that people do not prepare.
Why People Don't Prepare
The most common reason that people don't prepare for a disaster scenario is that they don't think it could happen to them. This is an absolute falsehood and simple psychology plays a major factor into this phenomenon.
One of the problems that contributed to the horrific aftermath of Hurricane Katrina was that the previous year a large hurricane had hit the Gulf Coast and had very little effect. Many people decided to ride out Katrina under the assumption that it would be as harmless as the previous storm; tragically this was not the case.
People's brains are hard wired to assume that nothing devastating will ever happen to them because most disaster scenarios are extremely different from their normal experience.
In order to successfully prepare for a disaster we must discard this way of thinking and really on hard facts, data, and science. We must also change the societal stigma associated with disaster preparedness.
Many people associate disaster preparedness tactics, like food storing, to be the past-time of the paranoid militia types; this couldn't be further from the truth.
Non-partisan organizations like the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the Red Cross suggest that everyone have several supplies set aside for emergencies.
Being prepared is neither a Boy Scout motto nor a paranoid slogan, but rather an intelligent decision taken by individuals looking out for their own well being and the well being of their families.
Mark R. Seme studied political science in college, is a veteran of several campaigns, and is a life long student of politics. In 2011 Mark founded the website Saturday Night Politics, a political commentary site that takes the spin out of politics by focusing on pragmatism instead of partisanship.

Common Terminology Used by Survivalists In Disaster Planning
Below are some basic terms that a person may come across when researching survival awareness and preparedness. Some of these words and others may appear from time to time in articles and other information sources commonly used by survival experts or self proclaimed 'preppers'.
Big One - see TEOTWAWKI. The "big one".
BOB - Bugout Bag. Used to store a supply of readily available supplies that you can grab at a moments notice if you need to leave your home in a hurry, as in right now!
Channelized Areas - In the case of an event where an entire city was to be evacuated, channelized areas are the most likely routes people would take; major roadways, railways, riverways, etc...
EMP - Electromagnetic Pulse. Capable of knocking out electronic equipment permanently.
Event - A catastrophe, big or small, that may require you to use some of the knowledge and supplies you have acquired through being a prepper. Green events last 1-10 days, yellow events last 10-90 days, and red events last 90 days to years in duration.
FEMA - Federal Emergency Management Agency. A Federal Government organization that responds to disasters. It usually takes FEMA a minimum of 72 hours to respond to a disaster emergency with the very basic of supplies (water and rations).
FIFO - First In First Out. A method of organizing perishable goods.
Golden Horde - The anticipated large horde of refugees and looters that will pour out of metropolitan regions when things like food, water, and civil order start to become non-existent.
G.O.O.D. - Get out of Dodge. Abbreviated slang term that describes the need to get out of town in a hurry.
GPS - Global positioning system.
Grid Down - An extended period of time when the power system is not available. (1989 Quebec power outage - small solar storm struck earth, lasted only 12 hours but knocked out power in the entire province of Quebec).
MRE - Meals Ready to Eat. U.S. military rations.
Prepper - A person who plans for the worse, but hopes for the best.
Retreat - A privately owned property where you can go in case your home becomes unsafe to reside within. A retreat in most cases is someplace away from large cities where you can find safety and survive on the basics such as hunting, foraging and farming.
TEOTWAWKI - The end of the world as we know it. Basically this is an event that spells the end of world society, including a large drop in the world's population and a massive loss of technical skills/knowledge. The entire world will never be the same as it was.

Disaster Preparedness "Games" for the Whole Family
During a car ride or perhaps over the dinner table, start off with a very simple "what if" situation. Ask something like, "Just imagine our electricity went out for two days during the summer. What would we have to do differently? What would we need to keep our family safe and as close to normal as possible?"
Set the stage saying that there would be no air conditioning, no video games, no TV. Let the children come up with ideas to keep cool and entertain themselves. Ask what they think they might need at night if there are no lights in the house (flashlights and extra batteries?). Turn the conversation to food and how it could be prepared. Is the only can opener in the house an electric one? Is the stove electric? How do you keep the food in the freezer from melting?
Probably at the point of mentioning no TV, you will get the children involved. Ask how long their handheld game player can run on its batteries. You get the idea.
Everyone should begin to see the things that would be fine and things that would be more difficult. Ask someone to make a list of everything that would be helpful to have in an emergency kit for surviving two days with no electricity. Let everyone contribute ideas. Then take action to secure the emergency items that make the most sense, and let the kids know where they are. They will see that they have helped think through the problems.
The next time the family is ready to play "what if," the scenario could be the same situation but in the wintertime (if you live in a cold climate). Disaster situations discussed for the "game" could escalate to more serious situations as all the members in the family become more comfortable. Of course, parents should use their best judgment about whether their children would find this fun or whether a child might have a "worry" personality and continue to fret after the game.
Just thinking through possible disasters makes everyone (including you) less likely to panic should a serious emergency occur. You have already imagined what you would do. As a family, you will have discussed what the safest procedures would be, what emergency supplies you would take, etc. The lists and ideas for various survival situations should spur you to take action and prepare emergency kits (yes, the children should each have their own custom bug-out kit).
A great place to prepare so you can lead your family in a discussion is the U.S. government emergency preparedness site, http://www.Ready.gov. You'll find lots of checklists and tips. Also on that website, you can find a drop-down menu that takes you to the disaster preparedness site for your own state. Learn the most likely emergencies for your area.
Carla J. Hall is the author of the ebook novel "Obliterated - Would You Know How to Survive?" The suspenseful adventure story is filled with real-life survival tips. It is available from Amazon. Learn more at: http://www.c-j-hall.com

How to Store Water
Over recent years we have seen natural disasters and emergencies strike all over the world. Earthquakes, fires, floods, power outages strike all around us and at times we feel like it will never "happen to us" but in reality they could happen to us at any time. Grocery store shelves are emptied in minutes during times of crisis. The most important item to have during an emergency is WATER. It is more important than food or anything else. A person can survive without food for many weeks if necessary if they are properly hydrated. However, if a person does not have enough water, you can dehydrate and die in only a few days.
Water is an absolute necessity for drinking but it is also a "must have" for cooking, cleaning wounds, washing and other hygiene needs. During an emergency, water supplies are either shut off due to damage (as from an earthquake) or they can become contaminated from broken lines and are not safe to drink. It literally could take several weeks or longer for normal water supplies to be returned to normal.
So how much water does a person need? A person needs at least 1 gallon per person per day to survive an emergency. If you have not tried living with that amount of water, a person will quickly see that this is a bare-bones minimum and is what a person needs to "survive". Having more water on hand so that you have enough for cooking your food and washing yourself is a better idea. 3 gallons per person for each day is a much better amount to make sure that all of your water needs are taken care of.
Most people do not have any water stored away for emergencies and when something happens...they are in trouble. Storing water is not difficult. First you need to determine how much water you and your family will need. Let's say you have a family of 4. It is recommended that you have enough on hand for at least 2 weeks to allow for normal water sources to be restored. If each person needs 3 gallons per day then you will need 12 gallons for each day. (3 gallons x 4 people) 2 weeks would be 14 days so (12 gallons x 14 days= 168 gallons). A family of 4 will need 168 gallons of water to survive independently for a 2 week period. Storing that much water in water bottles would be very cumbersome but there are some very easy ways to store and access that amount of water to make sure your family is taken care of. The FDA recommends food grade polyethylene barrels. You will most often find these in 55 gallon size and are normally blue. They are very durable and the dark blue color limits the growth of any algae in the water from being exposed to sunlight.
Next to air...water is the most important thing that people need to survive. The best thing to do is start today, decide how much you need and start storing water now so that if/when an emergency happens you already have your clean supply of water to take care of you and your family's needs.
