Dig Your Own Well! Always have Clean Water!

I could not sleep at all last night and finally at about 4 am I got up and watched some news. I have a Roku and I usually watch RT or NHK. I turned it to NHK this morning and right when they started this story about The Japanese being Well Prepared. It was a very interesting story and showed how they are adding wells to apartments so that they will have clean water. That the one thing that they had none of after the Earthquake was clean water. In the story is one about a man who made his own well for his house with only about $40.00 worth of items. You can also find tons of information online to do this. It does not have to cost a lot of money I am finding out and it does not take too long to do it either.

Some Links:

If you get all of the information and tools it should not be too hard to dig your own well. Great way to insure that your family will have clean water in any emergency.

How To Survive Martial Law

Click Here to Learn how to survive Martial law. Get more info about this hostile takeover. Protect your family by learning how to be prepared and how to survive it.

The Hostile Takeover Is Imminent


Do we have a reason to worry?

At this point, we all know the state of our country is going down the drain. You see horrible stories about our government utilizing “dirty politics” to achieve personal goals and agendas, not help American citizens like you and me. People are losing their homes at record rates, and being foreclosed on by banks who received tens of BILLIONS of dollars from the Government, which WE pay for via our tax dollars! This means the Government gave the banks our money, and now the banks are not using it to keep us Americans in our homes.

>>>Click Here! to control the safety of you and your family<<< A Martial Law takeover is just a matter of when, not if! The headlines on television continually remind us that our safety isn't something that's assured, and that the government doesn't have the welfare of us American citizens at heart. People are protesting about the atrocities committed against you and me, the American citizen (and rightly so) but the government doesn't see it that way...They see this standing up for our rights as oppression and they're ready to take action against people like you and me to stop it. >>>Click Here! to control the safety of you and your family<<< I want to do everything I possibly can to make my fellow Americans aware of how to survive Martial Law. If none of us stand up for our rights, our American heritage, and everything we stand for as American citizens, this country is doomed! I want you to have the tools to protect what’s important; your family, yourself, and your home. Don’t become a victim, help me in the fight against Martial Law. >>>Click Here! to control the safety of you and your family<<< The Prepper's Pocket Guide: 101 Easy Things You Can Do to Ready Your Home for a Disaster Ultimate Family Preparedness Pak

Food Storage Recipe - Bean Dip

There is nothing more that I live for a snack than tortilla chips and dips. I like salsa, guacamole, cheese dip and this bean dip.

Bean Dip

1 c. dry refried beans - I had made my own dehydrated refried beans in my Food Dehydrator , but I used them up quick and ended up buying some from The Ready Store

2 c. boiling water

2 T. dried onion

1/4 t. garlic powder

1/2 t. chili powder

1/2 t. salt

1/2 c. sour cream powder mixed with 1/2 c. water

Add boiling water to beans and onions; allow to reconstitute for about 10 minutes, stirring frequently.

Blend in seasonings. Add sour cream to bean mixture.

For a thicker consistency, chill for one hour or overnight. This is so good.

Buy Stuff Even When Do Not Need It - For Stockpile

I have a habit of doing this. There are a few things that I buy every time I go to the grocery store even though at the time I really do not need it. I do this to build up the stockpile of stuff that I use almost daily. Toilet paper, aluminum foil, dish soap, shampoo, salt & pepper, etc. This stuff I can buy for low cost. Our local store has most of this stuff for less than a dollar. So it does not take from my grocery budget. Plus since I use this stuff a lot I save money. I never run out and I also add to the stockpile. It does not have to cost a lot to build a stockpile and once you get started, it will become second nature to be able to get good deals. I buy stuff when it is on sale. Use coupons. One other thing that I do is save all of our change. Once a month I take it to the grocery store that has one of those CoinStar machines and cash it in. I then take that money to buy ONLY things to add to the stockpile. Canned goods, sugar, coffee, etc.

Recycle Candles


Gather all of your partly used candles and place them in a metal coffee can or a pan that you can just use for melting candles in. Melt the candles down in a double burner style, coffee can inside a bigger pan with water boiling in it. Remove all of the wicks with a fork. Place a longer, new piece of wick into the center of the mold that you are using as you pour the wax into it. When the wax cools and sets completely remove it from the mold. Now you have a new bigger candle. You can get Candle Wicks online for a pretty low price. This is a great way to always have candles of a good size and not throw any candles out. Melt them down and reuse the wax.

Phase 7 - A Pretty Good End Of World / Virus Movie

I watched this last night and thought that it was pretty good. It did have some graphic violence in it , so I would not let any kids watch it , but it was not too bad. It is foreign and has subtitles.

Product Information:

Coco just moved to his new apartment with his 7-months-pregnant wife Pipi, when their building is quarantined due to the outbreak of a deadly flu. Soon, neighbors become enemies and Coco is forced to join forces with the loony, but well prepared and stocked, Horacio to defend the contents of his fridge and keep his pregnant wife safe. Meanwhile, outside the quarantined building, the world as they know it is disappearing. No wonder no one came when they dialed 911.

If you like this type of movie, than you will like this one.
