At least a dozen readers have recommended Dana Richardson’s documentary film Back To Eden. This film runs one hour and 43 minutes and is available free, online. It is important to note that the wood mulching method advocated in the film requires caution. It is fine for use as top much cover, but do not mix in any wood-based mulch with your soil until it has aged for at least three years. (Wood mulches bind nitrogen, until the cellulose breaks down.) o o o J. McC. sent a tale of a Deer Delinquent in East Texas. (Assault, vandalism, stealing …
“Now he that ministereth seed to the sower both minister bread for [your] food, and multiply your seed sown, and increase the fruits of your righteousness;) Being enriched in every thing to all bountifulness, which causeth through us thanksgiving to God. For the administration of this service not only supplieth the want of the saints, but is abundant also by many thanksgivings unto God; Whiles by the experiment of this ministration they glorify God for your professed subjection unto the gospel of Christ, and for [your] liberal distribution unto them, and unto all [men]; And by their prayer for you, …

Many people have learned much of what they “know” about firearms from the movies. This includes the devices commonly known as “silencers.” Even the name is misleading. A sound suppressor does not silence a firearm completely in most cases. What it does do is reduce the noise level while greatly reducing the muzzle blast and flash. Sound suppressors have been in use for over 100 years. Until the National Firearms Act of 1934, people in the United States could buy sound suppressors in gun stores or even hardware stores. Sound suppressors are now heavily regulated in the U.S. and in …
Jim:: I think some writer on this topic miss an extremely important point about secession. That point is immigration and emigration. Taking your original argument that the Federals would not allow Redoubters to go in peace – then most likely the Feds would immediately cut off all “benefits” paid to those who reside within the American Redoubt. It is unlikely Social Security would be cut off because there is no problem presently paying SS to ex-pats who have chosen to retire in foreign countries, Honduras, The Bahamas, Spain, etc etc. By what logic would it be different here? …

“Ask yourself, why do I hold some of my wealth in the form of money? The answer is, because you like the unique flexibility that only money can give you. If you have demand for money, it means that you have demand for purchasing power in the form of money. It is not a specific number of paper notes or weight of gold that you desire to hold – neither, by itself, does anything for you – but it is the spending flexibility that the monetary asset gives you, its exchange value, that you demand. From this, some powerful conclusions …
Here in the States, today is set aside as a special day to thank God for his blessings upon us. — Today is also the birthday of the late Eugene M. Stoner. (Born, 1922, died April 24, 1997.)

How can a family cow be an ideal addition to your food storage and survival plan? We started our self-reliance plan with gardening. Then we planted a few fruits and added chickens. One day we realized that if we had a cow, we could truly be self-sufficient with our food supply. We now raise family sized milk cows with grazing genetics in Virginia. This article should persuade SurvivalBlog readers who own two or more acres, of the wisdom of owning a family cow. It should also answer questions we frequently hear. Why a Cow? Owning a cow produces milk, cream …
Sure, I signed my state’s petition to secede. (Coincidentally but not at all comparable, an ancestor signed the Ordnance of Secession of Georgia.) Most people correctly realize that these petitions are symbolic of our frustration with and desire to reject federal statist policies affecting all 50 states. Still, there are those who act as if these petitions are the spark that will somehow ignite nationwide revolt. In and of themselves, these petitions are a circus detached from reality and they’re a distraction from a real solution. I believe that secession can be a real solution but, as you’ll see, it carries …
Mr. Rawles, For those considering the purchase of winter tires, a good web site with demonstrations comparing the performance of different vehicle types (including all wheel drive) with and without these tires from the Rubber Association of Canada. Survival experts have also advised against consuming snow as a water source. Les Stroud, a Canadian survival expert, has demonstrated that if engaged in physical activity, such as walking, the consumption of snow when necessary is safe as metabolic heat offsets the cold snow. Some have survived in Arctic conditions doing this. However, it is still not safe when hunkered down. Best …
