Preparedness Notes for Thursday — November 26, 2020

November 26th is the birthday of gun inventor Eugene Reising (born 1884, died February 21, 1967). Pictured is his best-known gun design–the submachinegun that carries his name.

This is also the birthday Barton Biggs (born 1932, died July 14, 2012). Biggs was a money manager known for his pro-preparedness stance.

Today is Thanksgiving Day in the United States.  I urge you to pray fervently today — both prayers of thanks for God’s blessings in the past year and that 2021 would be a much better year than the trauma and drama of 2020. We need to beseech God, in the name of Jesus, for his guidance, providence, and protection.  Heal our land, Lord!

A reminder: Our Friday of Color Week Sale at Elk Creek Company ends at midnight, Pacific time tomorrow (Friday, November 27, 2020.) Note the sharply-reduced prices. Keep in mind that I’ll be traveling for the entire month of December, and I’ll be putting the company on an order-taking hiatus. So this is your last chance to buy a few pre-1899 antique guns from us in 2020.

  1. Sidney Powell is the Kracken!

    – If Trump goes down, we need to take down their fraudulent election system. Sidney Powell is blazing the way. If the election fraud is as massive as she says, even if Trump is out, if the fraud is exposed in total, the public outrage could create a movement.

  2. Beans, bullets and ……….Band Aids!

    The price of antibiotics has more than doubled in the last year, and in hard time could become very expensive. Antibiotics are possibly the most important tool in our med kit. Most have little knowledge about medicine in general, but if they only knew how to use antibiotics, they could resolve a significant percent of potentially life threatening medical situations. I’ve listened to hundreds of hours of instructional videos by Dr. Alton available at Blog Talk Radio. Perhaps you are an EMT. Yet without the specifics of how to use specialize tools, and the tools themselves, our knowledge is of limited value. We are more likely to catch a ‘bug’ and suffer infection, than catch a bullet. But if we catch a bullet, our best last chance to survive even a flesh wound, would be antibiotics.

    Video about the must have book if you have access to antibiotics:

    Video: My Top Antibiotics to Store for Preparedness, by Dr. Joseph Alton

    Here is the list of antibiotics recommend in the video by Dr. Alton. If I could only chose one, it would be Azithromycin. One course of azithromycin for a 250 pound fish would be 500mg per day for 6 days.

  3. Quiet Thanksgiving morning here on the farm. Turkey’s in the oven, ham will go in in a few hours. Sitting on the front porch watching the rain, listening to some Celtic fiddling, sipping coffee, and enjoying my Lady’s oatmeal craisin cookies. The rest of the weekend will be filled with some work….preserving leftovers and turkey stock, knocking out some chores over the extended weekend, and beginning our preparations for the Christmas season. But today is a day of quiet reflection, relaxation, and true thanksgiving to God for seeing us through a turbulent year. And like those Pilgrims 399 years ago, we must trust in Him to see us through whatever this next year brings.

    Happy Thanksgiving, folks.

    1. A lovely scene and sentiment, FM.

      And, indeed, a warmish day gave me an opening to complete a couple of chores. I reckon this little house is well buttoned down for the coming winter gales.

      Gratitude to you and our other SB family.

      Carry on in grace
