			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="preamble">Here are ten handy tips that are good for every newbie, or even some of us who may have overlooked or could be reminded these survival tips.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.survivaldigest.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/beginner-hikes.jpg" alt="" title="beginner-hikes" width="500" height="333" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-239" /></p>
<h3>1. Read Or Watch Survival Stories</h3>
<p>If you have read many true wilderness survival stories, you know that many people who probably shouldn&#8217;t have survived did so because they refused to give up. Attitude matters, and to get the right attitude, you need to be able to truly believe that you will find a way to survive. Knowing what people have faced and overcome before makes this easier. If you are with others in a survival situation, you should even tell those stories to them, so they can see that survival is possible and even likely.</p>
<h3>2. Tell Others Where You Are</h3>
<p>This is something that has to be done before you have a survival situation, which means before you head off into the woods. And if you decide to take a new route, you may want to leave a note where it can be found, just in case.</p>
<h3>3. Know Your Priorities</h3>
<p>Protection from the elements and water to drink are usually at the top of the list of priorities in a survival situation. However, every situation will be unique. Think carefully about what is most important and urgent. For example, searching for food is a waste of time if a cold night is coming and you have no shelter. Do the important things first.</p>
<h3>4. Learn First Aid</h3>
<p>If you don&#8217;t take the time to learn a few basics of medical first aid, at least carry a small booklet that outlines basic procedures. You can find these in many first aid kits.</p>
<h3>5. Be Aware Of Possible Shelters</h3>
<p>If you are possibly facing a survival situation (not sure if you are lost, for example), start looking around for what kinds of shelters are available. Are there piles of dry leaves you can crawl under to stay warm? Are there caves or overhanging trees that can protect you from the rain or snow?</p>
<h3>6. Always Plan Ahead</h3>
<p>This may be one of the more important survival tips. Don&#8217;t wait for problems and then start looking for a solution. Before you get thirsty you should be looking around for sources of water. Before the rain comes, you should be thinking about how to stay dry. With sufficient foresight, getting lost in the wilderness for a few extra days should be nothing more than an inconvenience. Don&#8217;t let it become an emergency.</p>
<h3>7. Always Have Fire Starters</h3>
<p>Anytime you will be in the wilderness overnight or longer, have at least two ways to start a fire. These can be matches and amagnesium fire starter, or a lighter and the magnifying glass on your compass. Being able to start a fire can save you from the biggest killer in the wilds &#8211; hypothermia. A fire also provides comfort and better sleep, both of which can keep you motivated to do the right things.</p>
<h3>8. Learn What Is Edible</h3>
<p>Food is not usually a priority in a wilderness survival situation. Water, shelter and getting found are more important. Psychologically, however, you will be less stressed and more willing to face the situation if you know a few plants and animals that you can eat. Try eating some cattails or wild rose hips on your next hike.</p>
<h3>9. Learn How To Navigate</h3>
<p>Even if you have lost your backpack, with the maps and compass, you should know how to determine the cardinal directions. That way, if you know that there is a road to the north, for example, you will know which way to go. The sun rises in the east and sets in the west, of course, but there are other ways to determine direction. Why not learn a couple of them?</p>
<h3>10. Know How To Stay Warm</h3>
<p>Learning a few tricks about staying warm can save you life. Since hypothermia is the number one killer of people in wilderness survival situations, this may be the most important of these survival tips. Stay dry and think of ways to insulate yourself when it is cold. Stuffing a jacket full of dry grass or leaves or cattail fluff could save your life.  </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="preamble">A  disaster can strike in seconds sometimes with no warning what so ever and leave whole communities without power, running water or even shelter. You must be prepared to survive. </p>
<p>The best way to prepare yourself is to have the necessary equipment and supplies to ensure you and your family are provided with the necessities of life.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.survivaldigest.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/survive-disasters.jpg" alt="" title="survive disasters" width="500" height="333" class="alignright size-full wp-image-217" /></p>
<p>Survival equipment is really a form of life insurance. You never know when a disaster will strike and you need to be prepared before not after such an event. You should also try to ensure your neighbors; family and friends are prepared with their own survival gear otherwise be prepared to share yours. If others won&#8217;t take their survival needs seriously then buy them kits for Christmas, birthdays and even wedding presents.</p>
<p>Your survival kit should contain at the very least matches, fish hooks, fishing line, a string saw, a small knife, bouillon cube type<br />
dehydrated soup stock, sugar, salt, antibiotics, antiseptics, aspirin, bandages, aluminum foil, a magnetic compass, a small mirror, a magnifying glass, and antihistamine. In a larger kit, you will need food and fresh water to survive at least for two weeks. Avoid foods that have to be cooked unless you have a portable cooker or barbecue.</p>
<p>In the case of floods or earthquakes your home may be destroyed or unsafe to live in so you will need shelter and warmth. Waterproof backpacking tarps can be tied to trees with rope and used as a shelter. For clothing, remember that wool insulates when wet and comfortable waterproof footwear is worth its weight in gold.</p>
<p>You need to know how to use your survival equipment, experience in the use of emergency survival gear will help you to choose what to include in your emergency survival gear kit. You should know some first aid basics and have a copy of a first aid manual.</p>
<p>As well as knowing how to use your survival gear everyone in your house must know where it is. You should keep an inventory along with use by dates and replace items as they become aged or pass their use by date. Store and record the date on items to indicate when it should be replaced or buy extra food when you can and rotate items.</p>
<p>You need to take a survival kit everywhere you go. In your car you should have a portable kit that contains some high energy foods, Sports bars, hard candy, MREs (meals ready to eat), tropical chocolate bars, beef jerky, and nuts all work well. Basic first aid items, a flashlight and spare batteries as well as a map of the area. A couple bottles of fresh drinking water are must have items.</p>
<p>In some countries it is law to have a survival kit. Even in those countries where it isn’t you still need to be prepared. A good<br />
survival kit will only set you back a few hundred dollars and this is a cost you&#8217;ll be happy you paid if one day that disaster strikes and you kit saves the life of a loved family member.</p>
<p>Learning to survive doesn’t have to be all doom and gloom. In fact it can be an interesting family activity that all can participate in.<br />
Even very young members of the family need to be survival aware because if anything happens to their caregivers they may be left to fend for themselves. Don’t leave it till its too late get prepared to survive now.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="preamble">Most of us have heard of the terrible swine flu that is sweeping the nation. Public hysteria is steadily growing as <a href="http://www.wkowtv.com/Global/story.asp?S=11271874">mass H1N1 vaccinations are being pushed</a> all across the country. Many folks are <a href="http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2009/10/07/earlyshow/main5368395.shtml">jumping in line</a> to get their shot, and to have their children vaccinated. What most sheeple do not know is that very vaccine poses a much greater risk then a bout with the actual swine flu.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-148" title="swine flu h1n1 survival" src="http://www.survivaldigest.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/flu_masks_1918_19-499x330.jpg" alt="swine flu h1n1 survival" width="499" height="330" /></p>
<p>If you are unfortunate enough to call the state of Massachusetts home, you are looking at <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2_oD55WvDmM">jail time or a $1,000 a day fine</a> for not being vaccinated.</p>
<blockquote><p>A &#8220;pandemic response bill&#8221; currently making its way through the Massachusetts state legislature would allow authorities to forcefully quarantine citizens in the event of a health emergency, compel health providers to vaccinate citizens, authorize forceful entry into private dwellings and destruction of citizen property and impose fines on citizens for noncompliance. &#8211; <a href="http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;pageId=108604">Source</a></p></blockquote>
<p>This is a scary state of affairs and even more so when such a large portion of <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4SmFxyust0">medical staff refuses to take the vaccine</a> because of the potential health danger it poses.</p>
<p>So let&#8217;s discuss the best ways to evade the flu and the apparently more lethal vaccine.</p>
<h2>Avoid The Swine Flu</h2>
<h3>01. Wash Your Hands.</h3>
<p>This is the number one way to prevent contracting any virus. Carry a bottle of that waterless hand soap, or a pack of wet wipes. Just keep your hands clean.</p>
<h3>02. Beef Up Your Immune System.</h3>
<p><a href="http://is.gd/3Zks7">Esberitox</a>is an immune boosting natural medicine. Get your system into shape just in case.</p>
<p>Eat Immune system boosting foods. And avoid sugar! Consider these natural boosters.</p>
<p><strong>Citrus</strong><br />
You can&#8217;t overdose on Vitamin C, and C is a great immune system booster. Chug your OJ every morning. Mix orange juice, lemon juice, stevia, and cayenne pepper for a good drink that is full of Vitamin C and helps alkalinize your body to fight infection.</p>
<p><strong>Red chili peppers (cayenne)</strong><br />
Cayenne pepper has long been appreciated for its medicinal properties and can help your body during states of emergency. So chili it up for good health!</p>
<p><strong>Garlic</strong><br />
Tougher men than I can take a bite outta a bulb of garlic as if it were an apple. Garlic has historically been used to fight all kinds of sickness and plague. Load up on it.</p>
<p><strong>Carrots</strong><br />
Bursting with beta-carotene, carrots give your body a leg up when you’re fighting infection. Drink a few carrot juices to get enough in your body. Sweet potatoes and spinach also contain lots of beta carotene, so eat up.</p>
<p><strong>Fish</strong><br />
Fish like salmon, mackeral, and tuna are filled with omega-3 fats, which support white blood cells in fighting infection.</p>
<h3>04. Be Well Rested.</h3>
<p>Well rested and plenty of sleep helps your body fight off infection and other things that ail you.</p>
<h3>05. No Alcohol and No Caffeine.</h3>
<p>This might be a tough one for some folks. Excessive alcohol intake produces an overall nutritional deficiency, depriving the body of valuable immune boosting nutrients. Second, alcohol, like sugar, consumed in excess can reduce the ability of white cells to kill germs. The stimulating effects of caffeine are similar to the body&#8217;s own response under stress. Chronic stress can, over time, weaken the immune system.</p>
<h3>06. Don&#8217;t Drink After Other Folks.</h3>
<p>This applies to family members as well. You never know who they&#8217;ve interacted with recently.</p>
<h3>07. Drink Lots of Water.</h3>
<p>In boot camp, a big mantra is &#8220;Hydrate or Die!&#8221;. Keep your body well hydrated as it helps flush your system.</p>
<h3>08. Keep Hands Away From Your Eyes, Nose and Mouth</h3>
<p>This can require concentration, as we instinctively reach for an itch, etc. This is a strong reason why masks as seen in the photo above help combat the spread of illness. </p>
<h3>09. Take Probiotics.</h3>
<p>Probiotics are a healthy bacteria that help your body fight off infection. Pick up a bottle of capsules and follow the directions on use.</p>
<h3>10. Get Your Exercise.</h3>
<p>But avoid crowded gyms. Try a hike through a park or a local nature trail. A nature hike is always good for the body and mind.</p>
<p>**Interesting Tip: It was reported during the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_flu">1918 Spanish Flu Pandemic</a> that a household had remained healthy and well. The only difference was they had placed an onion in every room of the house. The onions were studied and found to have the flu virus inside of them.</p>
<h2>Avoid The Swin Flu <em>Vaccine</em>.</h2>
<p>For those of us who are lesser students of History, let us peer back to 1976 when the swine flu first hit the scene. </p>
<blockquote><p>President Gerald Ford orders a nationwide vaccination program to prevent a swine-flu epidemic.</p>
<p>Ford was acting on the advice of medical experts, who believed they were dealing with a virus potentially as deadly as the one that caused the 1918 Spanish influenza pandemic.</p>
<p>The virus surfaced in February at Fort Dix, New Jersey, where 19-year-old Pvt. David Lewis told his drill instructor that he felt tired and weak, although not sick enough to skip a training hike. Lewis was dead with 24 hours.</p>
<p>The autopsy revealed that Lewis had been killed by &#8220;swine flu,&#8221; an influenza virus originating in pigs. By then several other soldiers had been hospitalized with symptoms. Government doctors became alarmed when they discovered that at least 500 soldiers on the base were infected without becoming ill.</p>
<p>It recalled 1918, when infected soldiers returning from the trenches of World War I triggered a contagion that spread quickly around the world, killing at least 20 million people. Fearing another plague, the nation&#8217;s health officials urged Ford to authorize a mass inoculation program aimed at reaching every man, woman and child. He did, to the tune of $135 million ($500 million in today&#8217;s money).</p></blockquote>
<p>Paranoia and propaganda were rampant. Much like our instance of the vaccine, in 1976 the vaccine was rushed to the market while hardly tested. This proved to have dire consequences for many people. Especially this healthy young lady who was paralyzed and interviewed in this old episode of <em>60 Minutes</em>.</p>
<p><object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/i4PQltqtaR0&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1&#038;"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/i4PQltqtaR0&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1&#038;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object></p>
<p>While there are <a href="http://www.foundationforhealthchoice.com/vaccine.html">support foundations</a> that are actively working to protect our Constitutional rights, the violations will always be present. In the words of Augustine of Hippo &#8220;An unjust law is no law at all&#8221;. We must be prepared for the reality that the government may decide to step in and mandate a vaccination. </p>
<p>Read this excerpt from &#8220;<em>Vaccination Orders during a Public Health Emergency</em>&#8221; for a general idea of how things may go down.</p>
<blockquote><p>Vaccination Orders During a Public Health Emergency. Many states also have laws providing for mandatory vaccinations during a public health emergency or outbreak of a communicable disease. Generally, the power to order such actions rests with the governor of the state, the state board of health, or the state health officer. For example, in Hawaii, the Governor has the power to supplement the state’s existing compulsory vaccination programs and institute additional programs in the event of a civil defense emergency period. Arizona also authorizes the Governor, during a state of emergency or state of war emergency in which there is an occurrence or the imminent threat of smallpox or other highly contagious and highly fatal disease, “to issue orders that mandate treatment or vaccination of persons who are diagnosed with illness resulting from exposure or who are reasonably believed to have been exposed or who may reasonably be expected to be exposed.” In Florida, upon declaration of a public health emergency, the state health officer may order an individual to be vaccinated “for communicable diseases that have significant morbidity or mortality and present a severe danger to public health.”</p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>Other states have provisions for mandatory vaccinations, but provide exemptions similar to those for childhood vaccinations discussed above. For example, in Connecticut, a person may refuse a vaccination if a physician determines that “it would not be prudent on account of sickness.” In Virginia, vaccination requirements may also be waived if the vaccination would be detrimental to a person’s health, as certified by a physician.  Wisconsin allows a person to refuse a vaccination for medical reasons and also for “reasons of religion or conscience.” However, if a person refuses to be vaccinated, he or she may be quarantined during the public health emergency giving rise to the vaccination order. </p></blockquote>
<p>On refusing a mandatory vaccine, it seems that most solid advice is to talk to your MD now and get them prepared to provide you with documentation, but there is still the possibility that you will be quarantined for a while should you refuse. </p>
<p><em>Religious Exemption</em> has been thrown around quite a bit in discussion on evading the vaccine. This is not a realistic way out, as this only works if you can prove that you never see a doctor. Most of us cannot say that. Also, in the face of a pandemic we know full well that Constitutional rights tend to go out the window.</p>
<p>As most sheeple will probably run to the federal government as their savior and line up for shots, the smaller percentage (that is growing larger) may not receive extreme persecution. But as Preppers, we prefer to be safe rather than sorry. We know that if it is ever a <abbr title="Shit Hits The Fan">SHTF</abbr> situation, road blocks and security check points will be in place. Always consider alternate routes and have a plan B.</p>
<h2>Natural Vaccination Remedies.</h2>

Now, I don&#8217;t wanna go all Mormon on ya&#8217;ll, but stockpiling food, learning to hunt/fish/garden, and learning  to prepare survival meals are very important.  The Mormons pride themselves on having at least one year of food stockpiled for each one of their family members.    Now for regular &#8220;joe schmoes&#8221; like me (who are genetically predisposed to procrastination) it can sometimes be daunting to even keep my pantry full of a months worth of food.</p>
<p>I have found many resources on the internet that give great information about food storage, shelf life, and nutritional values.  I implore  all who read this (including myself) to educate yourself on these things and ultimately begin stockpiling your food and water supply.  Global economic woes, natural disasters, or a full fledge wartime invasion would have devastating effects on the supply chain.  As a father or husband we need to learn how to become self reliant and get past our natural tendencies to put stuff off until later.</p>
<p>There is so much to learn and so much TO BUY that if you don&#8217;t start now you will regret it down the road. This is precisely why we started this website&#8230; to get people (and ourselves) on the track to self reliance and survival readiness.</p>
<p>Big Stick, out.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-30" src="http://www.survivaldigest.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/brains.jpg" alt="" width="334" height="325" /></p>
<p>Many articles have been written on Survival Digest and elsewhere on the various tools and gear available for surviving in just about any situation.  Some of these articles are good, some are bad (the bad ones, of course, have not appeared on SD).  Yet for all the attention given to lights, tents, campstoves, water purification, knives, firearms, and everything else under the sun the most critical tool often goes overlooked: your brain.</p>
<p>All the tools in the world are useless in the hands of an unprepared or ignorant person.  You would not trust your finances to an untrained accountant or your eyesight to an untrained laser surgeon, would you?  Neither should you trust your (and your family&#8217;s) survival to your untrained instincts.</p>
<p><strong>Get the Right Type of Training</strong></p>
<p>Google &#8220;survival training&#8221; and you are instantly overwhelmed with information about this DVD or that former Spec-Ops Ranger wanting to teach you how to craft shelters out of deer hides you tanned yourself.  For some, that kind of training makes sense (some of it may have helped the Kim family last winter).  For others though, focusing solely on that may leave them for want of more useful information when disaster strikes.  Each person needs to assess their own situation with respect to geography, locale, and what kinds of disasters they are most likely to face when putting together their training regimen.  However, there are a few kinds of training that will help everybody when they need it.  I am talking about preparedness courses from the American Red Cross in First Aid / CPR / AED, and Community Emergency Response Team training from the Citizen Corps (a partnership with FEMA).  Let&#8217;s take a closer look at both.</p>
<p><strong>American Red Cross First Aid / CPR / AED</strong></p>
<p>American Red Cross First Aid, CPR and AED programs are designed to give you the confidence to respond in an emergency situation with skills that can save a life.  They are designed for the casual citizen, and are mostly centered around the administration of life-saving medical care while waiting for help to arrive on the scene.  The American Red Cross has a chapter near you, and they offer preparedness classes for all age ranges.  I recommend that all members of your family over the age of 12 certify in First Aid every two years and CPR annually.    Contact your local chapter of the Red Cross today, or find them on the web at <a href="http://www.redcross.org">http://www.redcross.org</a>.</p>
<p><strong>Citizen Corps / FEMA Community Emergency Response Team (CERT)<br />
</strong></p>
<p>The CERT program is specially administered by the Department of Homeland Security, and seeks to educate the American public about disaster preparedness while training them in &#8220;basic disaster response skills&#8221; such as fire safety, elementary search and rescue (SAR) operations, and first aid.</p>
<p>The CERT training for community groups is usually delivered in 2 1/2 hour sessions, one evening a week over a 7 week period. The training consists of the following:</p>
<ul>
<li>Session I, DISASTER PREPAREDNESS: Addresses hazards to which people are vulnerable in their community. Materials cover actions that participants and their families take before, during, and after a disaster. As the session progresses, the instructor begins to explore an expanded response role for civilians in that they should begin to consider themselves disaster workers. Since they will want to help their family members and neighbors, this training can help them operate in a safe and appropriate manner. The CERT concept and organization are discussed as well as applicable laws governing volunteers in that jurisdiction.</li>
<li>Session II, DISASTER FIRE SUPPRESSION: Briefly covers fire chemistry, hazardous materials, fire hazards, and fire suppression strategies. However, the thrust of this session is the safe use of fire extinguishers, sizing up the situation, controlling utilities, and extinguishing a small fire.</li>
<li>Session III, DISASTER MEDICAL OPERATIONS PART I: Participants practice diagnosing and treating airway obstruction, bleeding, and shock by using simple triage and rapid treatment techniques.</li>
<li>Session IV, DISASTER MEDICAL OPERATIONS, PART II: Covers evaluating patients by doing a head to toe assessment, establishing a medical treatment area, performing basic first aid, and practicing in a safe and sanitary manner.</li>
<li>Session V, LIGHT SEARCH AND RESCUE OPERATIONS: Participants learn about search and rescue planning, size-up, search techniques, rescue techniques, and most important, rescuer safety.</li>
<li>Session VI, DISASTER PSYCHOLOGY AND TEAM ORGANIZATION: Covers signs and symptoms that might be experienced by the disaster victim and worker. It addresses CERT organization and management principles and the need for documentation.</li>
<li>Session VII, COURSE REVIEW AND DISASTER SIMULATION: Participants review their answers from a take home examination. Finally, they practice the skills that they have learned during the previous six sessions in disaster activity.</li>
</ul>
<p>Because CERT graduates become permanent members of a team and are “deputized” to respond to emergencies, perform rescues and treat injuries and perform other duties when emergency services are unable to respond, not all cities/counties offer the program at this time.  Those areas which do not offer CERT usually offer a Community Emergency Preparedness Academy (CEPA), which consists of mostly the same training but lacks the official team designation.  As of this writing there are 2,911 CERT programs in the United States, including programs in every state.  You can find more information about CERT and the Citizen Corps (including training locations) at <a href="https://www.citizencorps.gov/cert">https://www.citizencorps.gov/cert/.</a></p>
<p><strong>Develop </strong><strong>Your Plan<br />
</strong></p>
<p>The above training will provide a foundation for you to go further.  <em>You should not stop here.</em> Each person&#8217;s circumstances are unique, and the combinations are myriad.  After incorporating the above training into your plan, you should build on top of that, adding specialized training that will suit your individual situation.  Know your threats, your risks, and your strengths, and plan accordingly.  Then be prepared to act on your training when the time comes.</p>

<p>I know that if you are survival enthusiast you have seen the list of 100 Items that would disappear in a TEOTWAWKI situation on other sites.  If this is your first time seeing this list then great!  What I want to stress is that if there is ever an event that results in a &#8220;Jericho&#8221; type of situation, paper money will be useless.  Gold and silver may even become worthless. Your best bet is to stock up on these items and use them to barter.  Find a hidden, safe, dry place to stash your surplus.  Remember, during a economic collapse on a national scale, there is going to be a sudden surge of crime.  Anarchy could be the law of the land&#8230; at least until the baby blue helmets of NATO arrive to take away our guns.  People will turn to crime in order to survive.  Look at what happened in New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina.  Multiply the chaos 1000 fold.  I&#8217;ll let that sink in a bit&#8230; now go start your stash.</p>

<p>Welcome to Survival Digest!  If you take a look at both definitions of the the two terms, SURVIVAL and DIGEST, you will understand exactly what we are about here.  We are fathers, husbands, brothers, and uncles who care about our loved ones enough to understand that SURVIVAL training and preparation is key.
