Two Letters Re: Silver Deliveries and Nosy Deliverymen

HJL, We have ordered both ammo and silver through the mail from time to time and my response to my nosy FedEx guy is that it’s batteries for my UPS or the lawn mower. – WKJ o o o Hugh, Regarding MF’s problem with the UPS driver being curious, first of all, the driver knew it wasn’t bullets by the lack of an ORM-D label. It was probably insured, and the drivers know that, too. Tell him you’re getting into developing a wildcat cartridge loading and the box is full of custom machined solid copper bullets in say .284 caliber …

Physical gold and silver, which represent the only real money out there with no counterparty risk, are now such a threat to our rapidly crumbling global fiat currency system that the central banks are going to ever greater lengths to hoodwink the public and keep them away from the two assets. Instead of people selling their gold and silver, they should be buying it hand-over-fist and getting out of these overpriced bonds, stocks, etc. John Embry On The Ongoing War In The Gold & Silver Markets – J.W. o o o Items from Mr. Econocobas: John Hussman: The Stock Market …




Odds ‘n Sods:

I recently received a review copy of the book How To Build The Perfect Off-Grid Home, by Roxyann Spanfelner. This profusely-illustrated 185-page large format paperback was recently released by Paladin Press. I was quite impressed with the author’s level of detail on site selection, foundations, general construction, trenching, pipe and conduit runs, plumbing, AC wiring, appliance selection and load estimation, backup generators, and photovoltaic system installation. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is planning to build a retreat, even if you plan to contract out all of the plumbing and electrical work. – JWR o o o How …







Notes for Monday – November 10, 2014

November 10th is remembered in the Unted States as the “birthday” of the U.S. Marine Corps. Coincidentally, the 10th is also the birthday of the late Mikhail Timofeyevich Kalashnikov, born in 1919, died December 23, 2013. He didn’t design a lot of different guns, but one of his few designs was the protoype for what turned out to be the world’s most widely produced assault rifle. Once an iconic symbol of international communism, the AK’s curved magazine profile has in more recent years become just a symbol of citizens being well-armed. o o o Ready Made Resources is running a …




Scot’s Product Review: Legacy Premium Food

If anyone out there isn’t convinced that we need to store food for an emergency, then they might not have been paying attention to the news. With the need clear, the question we each must ask is, “What kind of food should we store?” Personally, I like a variety of foods– fresh, dehydrated, freeze dried, grocery store cans and boxes, and retort packed foods, which include MRE’s. I even think frozen foods are good to have, though if the power goes out, that’s the first thing to eat. Each type has advantages and disadvantages, based on how easily and long …




Recipe of the Week: Breakfast Pizza, by L.H.

This is another 25+ year-old recipe, tried and true. I see many variations of it online, but I swear by this one being the easiest and tastiest of them all. For many years we called it “Christmas Pizza”, as it was tradition for me to pre-make it to a point the day before and then finish it and let it bake Christmas morning while Christmas presents were being enjoyed. Your children will love this. Ingredients: 1 favorite-style pizza crust (I favor a pizza crust box/packet mix as being the perfect middle ground between time-consuming homemade and an expensive premade one. …




Letter Re: Your Friends

Good day, DD’s post was full of stark and poignant remarks and possibilities which resonate with me greatly. It was much like “Why I Won’t Be Charitable When SHTF” by Chris Carrington. I have previously discussed preps with close friends but in hindsight regret this, given that loose lips costs lives. To redress the balance, when opportunity is arising, I’m backtracking by stating that I got a little over interested in the subject and have since come to realize that such a situation is highly improbable (while still emphasizing the importance of preps) and have been compelled to give a …

SurvivalBlog Reader G.T. informs us that the “non-inflation” has affected his chicken raising: “I went to the local feed store here in Spokane and went in to purchase some chicken feed. I was told that the price is the same, but I get 10 lbs. less for the same amount of money. Instead of 50 pounds the feed bags now come in 40 pound bags for the same price. Ouch!

Two Letters Re: Your Friends

Hugh, Take 25 minutes and watch the old Twilight Zone episode called “The Shelter”. It is a great example of the behavior described by DD in his/her article. – P.S. o o o This is an excellent insight into the mentality of the sheeple, but I did find some flaws about the tactics of those who would lay siege to a well-stocked house or retreat. How would these besiegers maintain a siege very long without starving, or in winter without freezing? I don’t think such predators could afford to play a long game like that, nor disable equipment or kill …
