Survival Preparation: A Series of Threads Designed To Help You Prepare Yourself!
MODS: Could we please pin this so that people have access to the information quicky and easily?

Responding to another thread, I have decided to create a series of small how-to's that you can build upon for survival/disaster preparations. It is not an end-all-be-all list of the Gods, and its not intended to be a definitive treatise of THE best information available. I am simply informing you of my findings, and my training and experience. Your mileage may vary, and please; lets keep these threads clean or I will cease to post and edit to remove.

Here are links to the other posts in this series:

This should be perma-pinned.

Here is list of military training manuals that might be useful:
[link to www.globalsecurity.org]

Most of them are useless but the ones on radiation, medicine, and survival are worth reading.
Of course there is always the possibility of an invasion or civil war, in that case the combat and special forces manuals are where it's at.

Re: Survival Preparation: A Series of Threads Designed To Help You Prepare Yourself!
To all, because I have been asked twice now:
The plan for these posts I am making is to have a single thread for each basic issue and a separate thread showing all links to each report including links to external sites for more information and/or suppliers of quality goods.

Basically, I plan on posting the following reports:
1) Water - How much do I need?
{posted and adding currently}
2) Food - What should I carry, what should I cache?
3) Prepping Primer - Where Do I Start?
4) Communications -Staying in touch
5) When SHTF
{posted and adding currently}
6) The Bug out Bag
{posted and adding currently}
7) Personal security - its easier than you think!
8) Clothing
9) Reading material- and you thought school was over!
10)Survival - Can I take my iPod and mini DVD?

So, thats the general idea, and they aren't listed in any particular order. My hope is that if you are already a prepper, I might give you some ideas that you might not have thought of, and if you are new to disaster preparation it can give you a solid foundation to which you can build.

If you like this series and would like me to continue, please help me keep it on page one as the mods seem to often pin everything except something that can actually help someone.

Jessie

Honestly..if these isn't more activity on these threads I will simply spend my time on other projects. I'm not trying to sound like some asshat, but they take time and energy to write and post.

I see that some people really like them, but I feel weird bumping my own post just to keep them active.

They are out there. Join a gun club, find and attend an appleseed shoot, go to gun and sportsman shows.

They are only slightly less rare than a Unicorn, but I have met some, and not a one looked like you might expect.
