Parched Corn as Survival Food

If you’re not familiar with parched corn, it makes a great food to take along on long hikes or camping trips. A little parched corn and some water goes a long way.

It could be a life saver when your cupboards are running low.

The video below tells more about parched corn and shows you how to make it yourself. You’ll be pleasantly surprised how easy it is to make.

“Dual Survival”–Care to Watch Tonight’s New Episode?

From time to time I’ve posted info here about survival oriented Discovery Channel programs. I don’t have cable or satellite to watch, but I assume there are readers who can and do watch these programs. Are you one of them?

If so, do you want to keep seeing notices about such programs in the future? Do programs like this have information you believe is of value?

Here’s a brief description of the newest episode of “Dual Survival” that airs tonight.

 

Stormy weather strikes on tonight’s all new episode of “Dual Survival” which airs at 10 PM ET/PT. In a hurricane’s aftermath, Cody and Dave find survival resources in an unlikely place–trash. But their journey to the Dominican Republic’s coast is filled with creatures that sting, and Dave ignores Cody’s advice about hunting the deadliest of them all.

 

Watch a clip of tonight’s episode.

 

 

Solar Storms–Survival Threat or Dazzling Light Show?

Sunday the sun started spitting out plasma in a coronal mass ejection and sent it earthward. As so often happens, some predicted disruptions to satellites and the power grid. It’s not out of the question as the video below explains.

On the other hand, maybe nothing more will come of it other than pretty displays of the Aurora Borealis or Northern Lights. I’ve heard they’ve been seen this week as far south as Michigan. In 1989 they were seen as far south as Texas, and power was disrupted in Quebec.

If anything more significant happened as a result of this week’s solar activity, I’m not aware of it. Did I miss something? Are we not being told? If something major should happen one day, might it be blamed on perceived enemies setting off an EMP (electromagnetic pulse)?

Whether we have a killer solar storm or just a fantastic light show in the night sky, be aware of the potential for the sun to change life as we’ve known it. Keep your survival supplies well stocked.

 

 

Survival Gardening is This California Family’s Homegrown Revolution

Survival gardening is gardening that takes on a new sense of urgency and purpose. You might grow potatoes instead of petunias.

When you garden for survival, you’re making a statement–a declaration of independence–concerning our food supply.

Below is a 10 minute mini-documentary about how the Dervaes have turned their California home into an urban survival garden.

What they’ve done isn’t an overnight sensation. And don’t we all wish we had Southern California weather?

They had to overcome doubts and fears early on, and they took action, one step at a time. The end result is well worth it.

 

 

Will We Be Forced to Survive Deliberate Famine?

Famines in various parts of the world have happened throughout history. Perhaps climate of a certain region changes and crops fail. But famines have also been caused deliberately when food is withheld by those in power.

That happened in the Ukraine and other parts of the old Soviet Union where millions died. As the brief video below demonstrates, there are those who don’t want us to forget a little known holocaust.

 

 

For more on this important subject, buy “Harvest of Despair,” the award winning DVD featuring interviews with survivors from a horrible time of deliberate famine. Click on the image of the DVD to go to the Amazon.com page and order “Deadly Harvest.”

Stalin killed those who resisted and covered it up. How prepared are you if we face a similar fate one day?

Can “The Colony” Really Show What It Will Be Like to Start Over?

In past months I’ve shared info here about a couple of different Discovery Channel programs on survival. Now there’s another program premiering tonight called “The Colony” which carries out an experiment to simulate starting over after a global catastrophe.

“The Colony” isn’t just another scripted show. It’s an experiment unlike any other on TV. Here’s an overview.

 

What would you do in the wake of a global catastrophe? Even if you survived it, could you survive the aftermath?

Discovery Channel puts these questions to the test in The Colony, returning Tuesdays at 10PM ET/PT beginning July 27.

Season two of The Colony introduces viewers to a new group of volunteers with differing backgrounds, skills and personalities, to bear witness to how these colonists will survive and rebuild in a world without electricity, running water, government or outside communication. Over the course of 10 episodes, the colonists must work to utilize and strengthen their exploration, technology and survival skills in ways they’ve never had to before.

The Colony features on-going commentary and input from experts in homeland security, engineering, psychology and the medical community, with expertise and insight into what the future could look like after a biological disaster.

 

If you watch, I’d be interested in knowing your thoughts. Leave a comment below.

Here’s a video clip to whet your appetite.
