The Mug That Won't Fall Over!

I received this in the mail a few days ago and right away my son tried it out. He was freaking out because he was actually hitting it and it would not go over!! It is the The Mighty Mug. The reason I do not have a photo of the actual mug is because my husband came home and he snagged it! He is a truck driver and has had so-called mugs that have flat bases on them to "keep them from falling over" and they do! Spilling his coffee. But, this he actually said works. The smartgrip technology it has is something else. The crazy thing is that the mug moves easily when you pick it up and such, but it will literally NOT FALL OVER!

My husband was in Georgia last week and had someone pull out in front of him and he had to pull on the jake brake. Everything went flying in his truck , ending up on the floor, but he noticed that the only thing left still in place was that mug! It is crazy how it works. When my son first opened it and we were looking at it, we were actually telling each other that there is no way that will stay up. But, we soon found out that it does what it says. It will not fall over.  The Mighty Mug is something amazing and would make a great gift for the person who has everything.

How To Defend Your Home Against Looters When The SHTF


It's not just the people who watch "Doomsday Preppers" who are concerned that the time is coming when we will have civil unrest in our country. More and more people see the handwriting on the wall with our unmanageable national debt and entitlement society and want to be prepared for anything that may come. The term "SHTF" (Sewage Hits The Fan) has become a much more popular term in this country for good reason.

Since our home is our castle, it is natural to want to feel safe in it. Unlike in most other countries, where every home has a wall around it and is more secure from burglars, our homes in the United States are not very secure. When the police are either overwhelmed or outgunned during a time of civil unrest, having an alarm system will be little consolation.

Let's look at 3 ways you can make your home more "hardened" as a potential target for rioters or looters or burglars who lose all worry that the police are coming to help you.

1) Make It Look Uninviting

The best way to defend against the "zombie hordes" attacking your home is to encourage them to move on and never even get up close. This is done with some easy steps that provide a great deterrent, without having a moat stocked with alligators around the house.
Having a decorative wrought iron storm door is a great way to make the bad guys choose another house, because it is clearly tougher to break down. You can also plant rose bushes under every one of your windows to make burglars decide that crawling through thorns is not the best way to enter your house.

2) Make It Stronger

In addition to making your house look like a "hard target" you also want to make it much stronger. In the majority of home invasions, the burglar comes right through the front door. If your wrought iron storm door has a lock that is pickable, then you have a problem.
On the other hand, if you can't afford a new storm door, you can make your front door almost impenetrable when you are home by purchasing and installing a "Door Club" for under $50.
If you want to secure your windows, you can obtain a film to have all of your windows coated that makes them shatterproof. Depending upon how much you are willing to spend, the film could make your windows so hard to break that a man with a baseball bat would practically wear himself out before the film-coated window gave out.

3) Don't Advertise For Burglars

The worst thing you can do is have NRA bumper stickers on your car and stickers on your front door advertising how readily you will shoot a home invader. While that may be a comfort to you, telling the world that you aren't afraid, all it really does is tell the bad guys where the guns are.
If the bad guys know that you have guns, it may well deter them from coming when you are home. However, it can also encourage them to stake out your house and pay a visit when you're not home.
Have a 5 ton gun safe that they bad guys could never open? No problem. All they have to do is let themselves into your house and wait for you or a loved one to come home and surprise them. The most rugged gun safe in the world can be opened very easily if they put a knife or gun to your wife's throat and ask YOU to open it for them.

The key to staying safe in your home when the SHTF is a multi-faceted approach. Keep your mouth shut and don't advertise to become a victim, make your house less of an easy target, and harden your doors and windows.

Be Prepared for Your Camping Trip With the Right Outdoor Equipment


Portable Heater
When you are planning your next camping trip, make sure you have the right outdoor equipment to make it a fun experience. With a little preparation, you can enjoy the beauty and simplicity of nature without sacrificing comfort and security.

Following are some key pieces of outdoor equipment you won't want to be without:

Tent

The kind of tent you choose should depend on where you are camping, how long you'll be camping, and how many people will be in the tent. Some of the instant, easy-to-assembly tents are fine for a couple of days in a state park. They come as small as 2-person and go up to 8 or 10-person sizes. If you want a more durable solution, look at the tents that are made specifically for camping trips. They are usually more durable and made with a sturdier fabric and frame. They are made to perform better under stormy conditions.

There are also tents that attach to a truck bed, and ones with front or back canopies for added shelter. If your tent doesn't have one of these, you may want to consider a separate canopy for eating or just as an additional shelter on your campsite.

Bedding

Cots - Maybe you would rather not sleep directly on the ground. If there is a chance of wet weather or you're camping in a rocky area, you may need a cot just to get a good night's sleep. They are easy to fold up and put away, so you just need to make sure they fit inside your tent when they're flat and opened up.

Air mattresses - If you want to sleep on an air mattress, make sure it is not made of a material that is easily punctured. They are available in single or double sizes, and they come in varying heights. Just be sure your tent capacity will allow for the air mattress you have in mind.

Sleeping Bags - You can find a sleeping bag in just about any size, shape, or material. If you're going to be in very cold conditions, you want to look for ones that are insulated and made for extreme temperatures.

Eating

Portable grills - If you're going to be camping for several days, you may want a small portable propane grill to do some cooking. If you don't want the hassle of a big grill, you can also purchase portable camp grills or stoves that work well on a campfire.

Cookware - Regardless of what you'll cook, you will likely need pots, pans, kettles and other equipment to cook the food in. Also, make sure you have the plates, cups, and utensils needed for the meals.

Coolers - Even if it's cold outside, a cooler is a good idea for item storage. This is a reliable way to protect your food from the elements and animals. Make sure it can be secured and is large enough to store all you need for the trip.

Hiking

Shoes/Boots - More than likely, regular athletic shoes won't be enough for hills and rugged terrain. Invest in some good hiking shoes or boots that are made for the conditions.

Backpacks - Besides transporting items to the camping site, you'll want a good backpack to take with you when you are exploring the area.

Lighting

Everyone on your trip should have access to a flashlight. In addition, you may want some additional portable lighting for the general campsite needs.

You may need other outdoor equipment specific to your trip, such as a portable heater for extremely cold areas or chairs for everyone. Take the time to ask questions about the campsite and weather conditions for your trip so you can make sure you have the things you need for a great experience.

Food Storage Recipe - Crockpot Brown Beans

Pinto beans are the most common bean in the USA and are often eaten whole or refried which makes them a great filling for burritos. Eating beans is a good source of fiber and protein and doesn't contain fat, sodium, or cholesterol. A half of a cup of beans is about 120 calories. They are filling and a great alternative to eating meat.

Dry beans will keep indefinitely as long as you store them in a cool dry place. The longer you keep them their nutritive value and flavor will decrease over time. It takes a long time to cook beans, and you should soak the beans first to shorten the cooking time.



NEED:

1 lb bag of pinto beans

6 cups chicken broth (water)

1 ham hock

1 onion

4 garlic cloves

Salt and pepper to taste

Beans out of a bag need sorting through for rocks or other debris that could come up. Basically, you look through the beans and pick out anything that doesn't look like a bean. Then you wash them well. If you want them to cook fast, presoak them first. I cook my beans in a Crockpot, so I never use the presoak method. Once sorted and cleaned I put in 6 cups of water or chicken broth in the Crockpot. Put in the beans then cut up the onion and mince the garlic and add to the Crockpot. Add in the ham hock or whatever meat you season the beans with. I sometimes use smoked turkey as a healthier alternative. Season the beans with salt and pepper. I let the beans cook several hours on low inside the Crockpot; about 4 to 6 hours since I like the meat to fall apart. While the beans are cooking, you can make some hot buttered cornbread to serve alongside the beans. The great thing about Crockpot's is you don't have to constantly watch your food. You add the ingredients and go watch TV, read or write a book. When the beans are ready grab a bowl full and enjoy the warm cornbread.

Responsible Gun Owners Are Keeping Their Neighborhood And Loved Ones Safe



If you live in an area where crime rates have gone up, you may well feel yourself becoming more exposed to the possibility of being mugged or assaulted, or even having your home invaded and your loved ones injured or killed. 

These are not pleasant scenarios to think about but, if you truly believe the potential is high for such unfortunate occurrences to happen, then it's high time you considered purchasing a means to defend yourself against muggers, burglars, and hoodlums of all types. 

No Responsible Citizen Buys A Weapon To Show Off With 

You are not interested in buying a weapon to show off with, or brandish at the slightest hint of an argument or confrontation. You aren't some hot shot gun nut who uses weapons to compensate for their lack of social skills or success in life. What you are is a mature and responsible adult who is looking out for the best interests of your home, your property, and your loved ones. 

No matter what ill informed and reckless arguments others may make against gun ownership, the fact of the matter is that the vast majority of people who own guns have no intention of using them in any other case but self defense.

Don't Feel Intimidated When It Comes Time To Purchase Protection

When it comes time to purchase the protection you need to insure that your family and property remain safe, there is absolutely no call to feel intimidated. The mere fact of owning a gun does not increase your chances of having to ever use it. You have never been a trouble maker or someone who has looked for a reason to get into a fight. 

Why should owning one more possession, even a weapon, suddenly change your entire demeanor and outlook on life? People who make such arguments are the ones who have never been, nor ever will be, in your shoes - and who have no intention of sympathizing with you in any case.

Go To An Expert To Get The facts

So, when it's time to make the crucial decision to purchase a gun for the protection of yourself and your family, you're better off going straight to an expert to get the facts. 

For more information about how you can purchase a gun and begin standing up for the rights and those of your loved ones, please feel free to log on to http://grabagun.com/beretta today.

Food Storage Recipe - Hobo Venison Stew

Using venison as stew meat is basically the same as using any other meat. You can soak the venison before using in milk or vinegar, so it won't be too tough. But other than that just throw this recipe into the pot and let the stove do the work. You could easily do this over an open fire or on top of a wood burning stove.

NEED:
  • 3 pounds cubed venison or deer meat
  • 1/4 cups bacon drippings
  • 1 minced garlic clove
  • 2 sliced onions
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon allspice
  • 4 quartered carrots
  • 1 jar small white onions
  • 2 pounds cubed potatoes
  • 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce

Rinse, drain and cut or cube the meat, garlic cloves, onions, carrots and potatoes and accordingly. Set the vegetables aside until needed.

Brown the cubed venison or deer meat in a large stewpot using a little of the bacon drippings. Add drippings as needed while browning the meat. Add just enough water to cover the meat. Add the minced garlic clove, sliced onions, bay leaves, salt, pepper, allspice, carrots, small white onions, cubed potatoes, and Worcestershire sauce.

Stir and cover with lid. Reduce heat to low. Simmer for about 1 ½ to 2 hours or until the vegetables and meat are tender. Stir occasionally. Add more water if necessary. Thickening the gravy is easy when you add a bit of flour with a small amount of water to form a smooth paste and then slowly add it into the stew by stirring until well combined.

Prepper Barter Items: Ultimate Prepper Barter Items : Stockpile and Barter Handbook for Emergency Food Storage & Survival in SHTF Situation

Prepper Barter Items: Ultimate Prepper Barter Items : Stockpile and Barter Handbook for Emergency Food Storage & Survival in SHTF Situation was a free book for the kindle when this post was written.

The notion of bartering is about as old as civilization itself. Wherever there is a need for a product or service, there comes someone waiting in the wings to provide the immediate fulfillment of that need. Bartering is ultimately at the route of all economic markets everywhere and we have honed this skill to such a fine degree that in times of civility and peace, humanity has managed to transform bartering into the provision of goods and services for one of the most coveted things on earth: money.

But in the event of a catastrophic disaster, whether it’s delivered by way of nature or by man’s own large scale self sabotaging, money will hold less and less value both physically and psychologically.
Most people can only stockpile so much. Even the most advanced of all preppers face the distinct possibility that they will run out of goods at some point or have them stolen by someone who is just that much smarter or sneakier.

Here Is A Preview Of What You Will Find In This Book:
