Training is experience

Getting experience is the best way to insure success down the road.  In the case of survival down-the-road is when the SHTF.  You don't want to do OJT, (on the job training), when your life depends on it.  It is much better to have practical experience behind you to make sure that whatever you do is proven and tested.

The Urgency of Doing: Knowing is not enough
This is a great explanation of the concept of having experience which trumps book knowledge.

Getting experience is a good thing to focus on and here are a few examples.

Water Treatment - Don't have your water filtration system sitting in a box waiting for the day because if that day arrives and you haven't worked with it you may find that a part is missing or there is something critical missing in terms of actual function in whatever system you purchased.  I have a neighbor that bought a gravity fed water filtration system and he keeps it in the box for years waiting for the disaster to strike.  He has no real idea whether it will do the job since he hasn't tried it.  Don't be that guy.  I have a system that I don't need to use but it is part of my daily usage simply because I want to make sure I know and have the experience to back it up.

Self Defense - This is a big one because no one just all of a sudden becomes a weapons master.  It takes training and practice of all kinds including reading and watching videos.  Range time is essential and even with that some practical experience such as on a paintball field or some other simulated combat experience is essential.  Don't just buy a firearms and think you'll master it on the day things fall apart or when the home invasion happens.

Handgun Training 

Cooking Without Electricity - If you have a barbecue grill outside that runs on gas or charcoal you at least have a back-up plan that is relatively easy to guarantee will be available if the grid goes down.  Try it sometime.

Food Storage - Don't just buy some freeze dried foods and figure your problems are solved.  Try some of it even if it means buying single packs to try.  Also, see if you can work canned foods into your diet along with some dried beans, rice, and wheat.

Food Production - Grow some now even if it's just tomato plants bought at the store.  Grow now.

Practice Doing and it becomes experience.

Superbug Fungus

More bad news.  A Fungal Superbug

This seems to be a nonstop flow of new bugs or old bugs that have an easier time defeating immune systems.  Stay healthy and out of hospitals if possible.

The Wall Falls?

Is Trump Caving on the Wall?

We can hope not because caving to a bunch of losers that are in the minority in congress makes no sense.  It is time to play hardball and ram this money through and build a wall.

Invasion Update: Europe and France, USA

Diversity is our Strength  - Such is the slogan of fools

Macron  = France's Obama - Manchurian Candidate

EU Last Best Hope - Macron

If the French go for Macron they choose to go quietly into the night rather than fight the invasion and replacement of their culture.

If the French choose Le Pen they at least choose themselves and maybe choose to survive the globalist assault on their culture and sovereignty.

Tick Diseases Keep Multiplying: Powassan Virus

Powassan Virus

As if we needed another type of infectious disease for ticks to bring us this one sounds scary as it probably has no way to cure  or protect against it without a vaccine.  Odds are there won't be a vaccine. 

Suggestions:  Take all the precautions you can against actually getting ticks on you.  Check for ticks when you come back from going outside.  Spray your yard, protect your pets, and use baiting for mice to stop the flow of ticks in your local environment since mice a big carriers.  Deer are hard to stop so unless you want to put out deer treatment devices the best thing to do is to treat your lawn or keep it very low so ticks find it inhospitable.

Invasion Update: Germany chooses suicide, France may choose survival

Merkel foes in disarray  
If the Germans choose to stay on the current path of self induced replacement of their culture then they have chosen national suicide every bit as bad as following the Nazi creed in terms of outcome.  There will be no Germany left as we knew it.

France May Go for Survival

Viva la France if they choose to live as French rather than submit.


Keep a close watch as Western Culture hangs in the balance.

USA has chosen to live, but it may be too late to save the USA as we knew it.  Fascists and communists in leftist clothing have seen to that with their open borders policies.

Collapse Update: Grid Hacked?

Grid Hacked  - Multiple cities down

This is either a test or a warning.  It is quite possible from the quiet response from the Feds that the communique from whatever group did this will remain classified.  They must know, and if they don't then we should all take note at how amateurish our leaders are when it comes to protecting the country.

What to do: Get your oil lamps, propane stoves, kerosene heaters, and solar lights in order.  If you can afford a generator, get one.  Assume a one or two week outage.  You're back to the 1800's for however long it lasts so prepare for as many weeks as you want to live. 

Civil War USA: Battle of Berkely

Survival Skills: DIY list, Camo, Roaming

DIY - Can you change a lightbulb?  1 in 5 can't or fear it.

One benefit of owning a basic home or and old mobile home is that you don't have to worry about making a mistake.  For instance, plumbing in a trailer is fairly simple and since it sits off the ground without a basement any flooding can be limited in damage if you do your part.  The same exists in a home with a well where you can turn off the pump or if you have multiple shutoff valves.  Frozen pipes under a trailer can be reached easily.  A broken one can be found easily.  In a multilevel single family home if you have a broken pipe it is a disaster.

 Camo Pullover jacket.   Learn camouflage limits by testing it yourself in your local area.  Have seasonal changes available. 

Roaming - This is about nostalgia for a lost time as much as it is a call to allow kids to take risks.  Growing up in the 60's there were few controls unless your parents were anal.  Many of us did what we wanted during those years and the main rule was not to hurt others and damage the property of others.  Other than that, almost any crazed activity was worth trying that included camping without supervision in any woods you could get to.  Swimming in rivers where you couldn't see the bottom and knew there were snakes in it.  Any physical stunt was okay as long as you didn't break your neck.  Few did.








Self Defense: Capacity Rules, Chemical Spray Defense, .380 Self Defense

Capacity Rules
Magazine capacity is a big factor in a self defense weapon.    Read this article on ponder.   In the 9mm realm Glock Wins 33 round mags are hard to beat.  Kel Tec makes a carbine that uses the same magazine as the Glock pistol.


Chemical Defense 101
This is a great article.  He recommends  The Triple Action Police Mace Brand.  I'd have to agree since I have carried Mace Brand products for 40 years.  The flip top approach is intuitive and a great safety feature preventing accidental discharge unlike some if the other designs out there.

The manual safeties require too much thinking and fumbling that might not work well in a stressful situation.

380 Self Defense Rounds
If you want to carry a .380 it helps to know what round to use.  This is a great breakdown of the main JHP personal defense rounds available in this caliber.

The great thing about .380 is the low recoil and ability to fire from a small handgun and still manage that low recoil.

Sig P238: My favorite is the SigP238.  It is ultra compact but totally reliable with all American made ammunition I used including Hornady FTX.  It is also the most accurate shooting of all the guns I tried in this caliber due to the trigger and single action 1911 style function.


Glock 42: The Glock 42 is ammo sensitive and needs a firm wrist.  It might help to also add a grip overwrap if it is too small for your hand.  It is very accurate and light shooting.


Walther PK380: Other notable .380 guns include the Walther PK380.  Having owned one I can tell you it shoots reliably and very softly due to its large size.  It is very accurate but feels cheap in the hand and the reverse safety and hammer drop function is not something I want to get used to since it is dissimilar to most other guns that I own.

Colt Mustang:  Nice gun but you might as well get a Sig.  I don't like plastic triggers and reliability is iffy unless you put lots of work into it.

GM Loses Plant - Private Property is up for grabs

GM loses plant in Venezuela

Any time a dictator owns a country he owns anything in that country.  This is why voting for big government far left politicians will eventually bring us to the Venezuela model: Anarchy and brazen rapacious theft.

Nuke War Update: USA to Ashes, Sub Tech, Risk, California Nukes,

NK says USA to Ashes  
Back at you.

NK Sub Tech Improves
Sink them all.

Risk of Nuke War Increases
No Kidding

California at risk?  Should they be worried.
If they get hit they can thank Clinton and Obama much more than Trump.  Clinton gave them technology and Obama stopped our missile defense program.  Both are fools when it comes to nuclear war.

The North Korea Military Joke - but for Nukes

Elite Forces

If it wasn't for nukes and a captive city of Seoul to Nork Artillery the rest of their forces aren't much up to the task. 

Let's hope it doesn't go nuclear.

Invasion Update: Trump on Gangs, Border Violence, Rape

Trump on Gangs
Make them all go away or put them away.  Good news for the USA.

Texas Border Violence
The spillover has already begun.  They must be stopped or Texas border towns will be unlivable.

Illegal Alien Rapes Pre-teen
They have different rules.  It's a cultural thing.  You wouldn't understand.

Collapse Update: Police Approved Beatings of Trump Supporters, Killers Among us

Cops stand by as Trump Supporters attacked

You can bet if Trump supporters gained the upper hand via weaponry the cops would jump right in to arrest them.  This is outrageous and portends a general breakdown as police can no longer be expected to help protect the public.

Facebook Killer

This is a sad story and it also informs you that no matter who or where you live risk exists.  Here is the case a retired foundry worker killed just for being in the wrong place at the wrong time.  RIP

WW3 Update: North Korea - Failure to Launch, Doomsday Shelters

NORKS Launch Hacked by USA?

We can hope so and it is getting toward sunset on this show.  The weaker presidents in the past gave him the technology and time to build his weaponry that he has regularly used for blackmail.  His constant tantrums may come to an end and hopefully it will be him and just a small number of others who will pay for it.  On this Easter Holiday my prayer is to save the innocents on both sides but see the Krazy NORK gone from the stage.

Invasion Update: The Sweden Suicide

Rape and Assault in Sweden No problem

It continues and Sweden will end up destroyed by the insanity of the multicul-posing they love so much.

WW3 Update: Grid Down Risk,

Pentagon looking at grid

After doing nothing for decades it seems the government is finally worried about some type of grid attack whether cyber or EMP.  Too little too late for this coming war. 

What to do:  Protect yourself with every means you can find.  Oil lamps, solar, generators, and old technology such as gas heaters and wood burning stoves.

War Drums: Russia, Iran, North Korea, Financial Fallout, Nukemap

Russia and Iran Warn US

This is the predictable outcome for something that accomplished very little in the context of the Middle East mess.  How about the Christians that were just murdered by ISIS in Egypt.  Who are we gonna go after for that.  Probably nobody.  This is so reminiscent of the Kosovo debacle where we attacked another sovereign country for supposed crimes against humanity.  Those occur every day but we aren't the world's policeman as much as many would like us to be.  Risk and benefit to Americans and its allies should be the foremost consideration and there appears to be minimal connection to that here other than more risk.  Benefits?

Russia Testing the Waters in Europe - Activity exceeds cold war levels

This is a good measure of intention and risk of conflict.   Not good.

Korean Peninsula at high level of risk as tensions rise

This will have to go hot someday.  There seems to be no way around it and the results could be catastrophic.

Financial Fallout  - Multiple wars and disruption of economic activity

Nukemap - pick your target and see how you fare


Put your self on a Personal War Footing:  Food, Water, Shelter in a safe zone, guns, energy, and staying power that allows you to sit out a six month or more end of economic activity.  This is harder to do than most even realize.  Setting aside that much food is a sizeable effort.   Guaranteeing water is another problem especially if power is down or services fall off.  Living in a good place is just one big question.   Where is good?  Judge for yourself but one suggestion is that cities are not so start from there.  Whatever you do and set aside you really don't own it unless you can keep it from someone that wants to take it from you.  Get armed and trained.  Keep training.

Self Defense: Beginners and Handguns

What you really need to know about handguns - Aiming is useless

He makes some good points since most of us learned to use the sights first or at the same time.  Now to improve most shooters use dry fire, training guns, and laser targets for low cost training.  This video is an interesting approach.  Unfortunately, many students don't want to put in the time necessary to master trigger control and then just put in a few hours of training to learn the basics of safety and how to shoot it.

Home Invasion Update: OK 3 Dead

3 Dead

The outcome for the burglars is bad for them but good for society.  Not only will they not do home invasions but the home defender won't be charged and this means fewer will invade homes knowing that they can be snuffed legally.

World War 3 Update: China Sea Power, Gibraltar Brexit War, North Korea

China is pushing the boundaries

A shooting war will happen.  Sadly this whole area may end up in flames and if it goes nuclear all bets are off for the rest of the world.  Needless to say, many will pay with their lives.

Brexit War over Gibraltar

If you had any doubt that the EU Gnomes want to run their own dictatorship their threat to take Gibraltar is proof.  

Kim Fires Missile into Sea

He wants war and may very likely get it.

US clock has run out on North Korea

Stop talking about it and do something or not.  This is a direct cause of the Clinton giveaway to North Korea in the 90's. 

Pandemic Update: Lyme Worldwide, Hawaii - Rat Lungworm Brain Disease

Lyme Explosion Worldwide

They are blaming it on climate change, but regardless of some temperature change variables that occur the point is that the mouse population is one of the biggest carries of ticks that spread Lyme disease.

How to fight the ticks on mice

Wear Nitrile Gloves for this:  Treat cotton with permethrin and put it in toilet paper tubes or paper towel tubes.  Put those in areas where mice will use them for nesting and it will also cut the tick population drastically.

 Clothing:  Wear long pants and tuck them into your socks.  Treat the clothes with deet to help repel ticks or permethrin to kill them. 


Hawaii - Rat Lungworm Brain Disease

Fruit in Hawaii poses a threat thanks to this disease and slugs that transmit it from rats to food.

Death of the American Dream - Living in your Car

http://www.cnn.com/2008/LIVING/wayoflife/05/19/homeless.mom/index.html

Do you think this can't happen to you.  I remember when this woman or one like her was interviewed on TV and I could hear the desperation in her words.   She cried over the idea that her parents would have cried for her were they still alive.

Here is an article I just came across and it shows why fears about not being able to afford to live on your social security are real.  In light of these outcomes an approach of going with an RV on your own land makes great sense for making sure you end up safe and not in a car.  It seems that it can happen to anyone.  I have watched story after story on this type of thing happening to middle class people that fell on hard times just by bad luck or mistakes that we all can make.

Creeping up on 80 and living in her car
Would you want this for you or one of your parents.  It is a nightmare to which once you are in it the chance of getting out of it is bleak.

This poor woman is almost 80 and is living in a small car with her two dogs.  What a wretched outcome and thank god my mom never faced this.  I am thinking along the same lines of making sure I don't end up on the street some day.  It can happen to anyone.  Meanwhile, if you get here as a refugee or illegal you can get a check, a free home, free food, and free medical.  It is insane.

Refugees are feted with free stuff and a home and they never did a day of work in the USA.  What is wrong with this picture.  Everything.

For Yourself:  Avoiding this means being realistic.  Living in a travel trailer, a mobile home, or even a tiny home/shed/cabin makes for a much more survivable financial picture than the big homes approach many people take.   If you own land in a place where it is okay to park a travel trailer and live in it that is still a lot better than parking your car and sleeping in it for your old age plan.   Find a place with an old trailer on it that might not be livable but has electric, septic, and well connections already in place and you might have a workable low cost plan to survive.


North Korea Nuke Threat

Collapse Update: Educational System Intentionally Destroyed

Generation Lost -  Losing the Common Culture

 http://www.mindingthecampus.org/2016/02/how-a-generation-lost-its-common-culture/

This is apparent to anyone that has been a teacher and is not one of the recent lost generation.  It is likely this can't be fixed since the system is rigged to finish the job of society dissolution.

Ways to combat it.  E.D. Hirsch
