Hugh, Your notice of Kevin Bacon’s birthday reminded me of a movie he was in that many people haven’t seen. Taking Chance is about the voluntary escort of a fallen Marine back to the hometown of the escort and the fallen Marine. It’s a sobering look at the price we pay. – S.G.

July 9, 1956 was the birthday of actor/director/producer Tom Hanks. His acting in the movie Saving Private Ryan is riveting. The same day in 1938 was the birthday of Brian Dennehy. He is most often remembered for his role as the alien leader in Coccoon, but he was cast in many other movies and in hundreds of television shows. o o o Unbelievable!

We live in a world where almost everything happens rapidly and often by remote. Books and movies are downloaded from the Internet for instant entertainment. We travel freely and quickly around the world. Things like automatic dishwashers and laundry machines aren’t even remarkable anymore. And everywhere we go, in person or online, we are enticed to spend money freely, without thought of tomorrow. Being a prepper, however, means that we are thinking ahead to what might happen tomorrow, or next month or year, and getting ready for those possibilities. How does that affect our financial strategies? Colonel Jeff Cooper was …

Send in the Terminator: Are Police Allowed to Robot-Bomb Suspects? JWR’s Comment: This event in Dallas deserves some serious consideration and both public and legislative debate. Ditto for the use of a U.S. military drone (possibly an armed drone) in the recent lethal roadblock event in rural Oregon, where Lavoy Finicum was killed. It should also be remembered that it a was two police bombs that were used to end the leftist MOVE organization’s squatting and standoff in Philadelphia, back in 1985. There, police officers in a helicopter dropped two bombs on the roof of the row house in the …
“Moreover as for me, God forbid that I should sin against the Lord in ceasing to pray for you: but I will teach you the good and the right way: 24 only fear the Lord, and serve him in truth with all your heart: for consider how great things he hath done for you. 25 But if ye shall still do wickedly, ye shall be consumed, both ye and your king.” 1 Samuel 12:23-25 (KJV)
Today marks the birth of actor Kevin Bacon (born 1958.) Preppers usually associate him with the campy movie Tremors.
Much of my work as a consultant revolves around selecting retreat properties. For more than 15 years I have assisted my clients in their quest for the most suitable and practical properties available, to assure their families the best possible chance of surviving anything from a short-term localized disaster to a long-term societal collapse. Over the past 10 years of editing SurvivalBlog, I have included many insights about the retreat property selection process, interspersed in articles and replies to letters on related topics. But in this article, I’d like to distill a lot of that experience into just one concise …
Hello, Hugh, I’ve been following Sarah’s articles on food storage with interest,and learning a great deal from them. My question is this: Has your family performed any food storage involving vacuum-sealing “wet” food in mason jars and freezing them? I’m wondering if putting hamburger and chicken in mason jars, vacuum-packing them, and freezing them is a reasonable long-term storage solution (assuming electricity exists to maintain storage temperatures at 0F or below). If such a procedure is feasible, are there any cautions I should be aware of? I would guess that, since water expands as it freezes, the jars should not …
