Bug out bag

JWR had a good article by Tugboat about bug out bags.

http://www.survivalblog.com/2010/04/thoughts_on_the_bug_out_bag_by.html

I carry a communications bag with me most of the time. I call it a comm bag due to the fact it carries my laptop for work. I of course have all sorts of gizmo's and gadgets in it for the laptop and data storage. I also have basic utility items in the bag.

A comprehensive first aid kit
A hygiene kit
Binoculars
Matches

Knife
Flashlights
Solar/Crank/Radio
Various Plastic bags
A water bladder (Empty)

4 or 5 "energy" bars
Pens Notebook
Spork
Microfiber Towel and washcloth

And a few other things

This bag is mostly for work

I have a fanny pack with "survival" I will deal with my vehicle gear in a latter blog

But I am missing a true BOB and I will be working on this in the weeks to come.

Ferfal Circle 5

http://ferfal.blogspot.com/2010/04/five-circles-of-preparedness.html

5)The 5th circle reaches your house, the place where you live. This may not be available to you in a worse case scenario but you do spend a good amount of time there and there’s a good chance you may be able to get there unless forced out because of some reason such as fire, flood, town evacuation, etc.

Obviously you can not have everything you need in your house but we would be fine for well over 1 to 3 months without leaving with the 4 or 5 of us, baring water, but we do have the means to store a vast amount and ways of collecting it. We have some filters.

Bite the bullet EE vs SR food systems

VS

Not literally but the boss and I had some extra cash come in due to some enormous hours I did a couple months ago and a lucky 3 week paycheck, and some savings we had. With the dollars value falling we were trying to decide how to preserve the value of our money and prepare for anything that may come up.

I had sent the boss some links for our prep work and I had wanted her to go over them and help me make a choice of what was better, Emergency Essentials with the 6 gal pails and #10 cans or the shelf reliance with the nice stocking shelves and the #10 cans. She said get them both, it is the best way to preserve our money, we will eat all of it over time and it is not likely to get much cheaper.

So this morning I ordered the years supply from both companies and I will compare them as I get the orders. So far my observations from the website info is as follows

Price: EE-$899 vs SR-$1044
Calories: EE-2200 vs SR-2029
Shipping: EE-$12 vs SR-$15.99

So so far EE has it in the bag although to be fair SR comes with a very nice shelf that allows loading from the rear of #10 cans and is all in #10 cans

I also bought a water filter from Ready Made Resources (this I will use while hiking and camping and I have wanted one for a very long time)

We also purchased a meat grinder that we have been wanting for a very long time.

Better Than Bleach

Artical I read at
Survial Topics dot Com

Better than Bleach: Use Calcium Hypochlorite to Disinfect Water

How to Disinfect Water Using Calcium Hypochlorite

Using granular calcium hypochlorite to disinfect water is a two step process.

1. To make a stock of chlorine solution (do not drink this!) dissolve 1 heaping teaspoon (about one-quarter of an ounce) of high-test (78%) granular calcium hypochlorite for each two gallons (eight liters) of water.
2. To disinfect water add one part of the chlorine solution to 100 parts water to be treated.
3. Let the mixture sit for at least one-half hour before drinking.

Be sure to obtain the dry granular calcium hypochlorite since once it is made into a liquid solution it will begin to degrade and eventually become useless as a disinfecting agent. This also means you should make your treated drinking water in small batches, for example enough for a few weeks at a time at most.

Another plus for using calcium hypochlorite to disinfect water for emergency use is that a little goes a very long way. A 1-pound pag of calcium hypochlorite in granular form typically costs only a few $US dollars and can be obtained in any swimming pool supply section of your hardware store or online. This amount will treat up to 10,000 gallons of drinking water, which is enough for a family of four for some six or seven years at a gallon per day per person!

Calcium hypochlorite will store for a long period of time and remain effective as a chemical drinking water treatment. So get rid of the household bleach and buy a can of Calcium hypochlorite for your disaster emergency water disinfection needs. It lasts far longer and treats far more water than the traditional chlorine bleach water disinfection treatment.
