Here are some of the changes one I increased the margin on the left so it would work better if someone prints it and wants to put it in a binder.

I shorten the section on the various types of beans and grains and added the following:

27. A Highly-Mobility 72 Hour Kit-by Ward Dorrity (Up Dated
64. Medical Kits for Self-Reliant Families-by Jackie Clay
72. The Large M17 Medic Bag

280. 10 Morale Boosters for any Worst Case Scenario-by Jack C

That’s a lot of work to make that doc. Good job. I liked the carboard box shelter!

Somebody, someday, is going to make a movie called “SHTF”, and your name will be in the credits for “technical adviser.”

Believe me, we deeply appreciate what you do. DEEPLY.

I just learned about zinc oxide powder and clove oil for tooth repair. Filling a cavity etc. Works great and of course.. cheap. Thanks for all your work. I’m downloading the file now and will send it to a few friends.

Thanks for posting this.

I have a friend who just moved to Los Angeles this past week. He, his wife, and their daughter only know two or three people out on the west coast, all of their friends and family are here in Kentucky, so I'm really concerned for them if the SHTF.

My friend is pretty street smart and is an avid outdoorsman, but this won't do them a bit of good if they find themselves trapped in a city of ten million strangers. I've tried to talk to him about prepping, but he has his head in the sand and thinks that things can't get that bad.

The only possible bright light is the fact that his wife is a senior manager with UPS's air freight division. Hopefully they would be able to hitch a ride out of there if things go to heck in a handbasket.

Very good work and BTTT. One item caught my attention again and that was 85. Drowning doesn‘t look like drowning-by Mario. That is one thing that people have to learn and to unlearn the "prevailing wisdom." When I was a lifeguard many many many years ago, we did not have this type of training. I remembered the first time I figured it out.

It was a hot day at a neighborhood pool. I was only 17. Swimmers had these jobs during the summer months. I still remember the look on the young girls face. There was an urgency that clicked immediately. The water was not deep and people were all around her. She was just trying to keep her mouth above water.

Back in those days, we learned hands on maneuvers. Today they use floats and for good reason. I was surprised at her strength. I got her turned and then out, but I remember how she just locked on to me. It was all training and it was automatic. She did not scream or flail. She just was trying to keep her mouth up at the pool drop off.

It has now been 37 years, but I remember it like it was yesterday. Everything, including the smells. I also remember that I became angry a few days afterwards. I could not understand how everyone around her missed the emergency.

Thanks for the post. I hope many will read it completely. Preparation is not necessarily the amount of food and ammo you have stockpiled. Preparation is also about situational awareness.

That chapter really stood out. It should be one of the ones that stands out beyond the rest, because it clarifies the errors of prevailing wisdom.

Thanks again for your hard work.
