One of the main components that youll want to have around the house (or apartment) during a SHTF situation is chlorine bleach. Not only can it be used for cleaning water (although boiling is hands down more effective and healthier) it is excellent for keeping things sanitary.
Unfortunately, the average shelf life of liquid bleach (being stored between 50 and 70 degrees Fahrenheit) is around 6 months. After that, bleach will lose 20% of its strength at around the year mark and then 20% each year after that. So if youre not vigilant about keeping it rotated, chances are when you need it for disinfecting water or to keep things clean youll be fresh out of bleach and luck.

So now you want to quote scripture to advance the Lenny Bruce language into the mainstream.

You are defending the left and their agenda of cussing, that you cannot deny as you keep promoting it on this thread. If that is what you got from my post...then your reading comprehension really needs work. That...or you are an intellectually dishonest person.
Have a good one.

No, I think that's Cody. lol
I cracked up when he told Dave he had him half-way to being a hippie. Dave's expression was priceless. I have never owned any Birkenstocks but a friend of mine, who is very conservative, swears by them. He also likes to wear tai chi/martial arts slippers around the house. Says they are so thin they hold no perspiration so his feet stay warmer than in shoes or conventional slippers.

I still stand by my statement:It is my experience that people with this type of attitude will be the first to turn on you, because they have an over whelming need to be right and when someone proves them wrong they tend to they need to punish those who were right.
I fear your type more than any 'zombie'.
There is no greater disaster than to underestimate danger.
Underestimation can be fatal.

Quark: Let me tell you something about Hew-mons, Nephew. They're a wonderful, friendly people, as long as their bellies are full and their holosuites are working. But take away their creature comforts, deprive them of food, sleep, sonic showers, put their lives in jeopardy over an extended period of time and those same friendly, intelligent, wonderful people... will become as nasty and as violent as the most bloodthirsty Klingon. You don't believe me? Look at those faces. Look in their eyes.
Look about you these are the things going on right now in the 'Real World'.

I was born into survivalism, and have been a part of that movement as an adult for about 40 years, I never saw “the seven dirty words” being part of it until just recently.

Okay... Since none of my FRiends knew the answer...
The answer is to PEE on a rag and breathe through it.
Urea crystallizes chlorine.

Once you wear Birks you will never go back.
I saw the show where Dave was bare foot and Cody was teasing him. He said next he will grow out his hair and my work will be done. WHAT A HOOT!

The DJIA is down 519 points today. Those who don’t think this comfy world can disappear are living in a fantasy.

When you smell Pineapple, what would YOU do with a rag? I suppose, "Spread it on my lap so that I don't drip pineapple juice on my slacks when I eat the fruit" isn't the right answer.

They both have a great sense of humor which is a vital survival trait. I like how they emphasize cooperation. All the technical skills in the world won’t help if your group turns into a Lord of the Flies situation.

Inyopool.com carries Cal-Shock 65, which is my preferred brand. Their website says, “Pool Solutions Cal Shock 65 is 100% Calcium Hypochlorite with 65% available chlorine.”
I worry about people using pool shock that contains other, harmful ingredients.

I never claimed to be Captain Courageous, but I can smell a Rat and you do protest to much.
I never said it that civilization and cooperation doesn't increase survival. Nor am a member of a militia and I do not run around in the woods on weekends playing ‘Rambo’.
I did say that people with a attitude like your historical are among the first to turn ‘Rat’. They tend to when the chips are down either turn in those prepared to ‘authorities’, blackmail them with the threat of doing so or just out right rob them. I'll leave it to you to decide which category fits you best.

Nice info but I think Ill stick to vinegar which you can put in water to kill germs, rinse your hands in it to kill bacteria, edible - non toxic - multiple uses and cheaper than bleach.
Not to mention being easier to brew at home, given that it's basically spoiled wine ;)

"like reading this article to your church group, or a scouting group and using SHTF" How is it you're comfortable using the acronym in context but you get all sanctimonious when others do?

I’ll have to research that, but it could make a silver pendant into a survival tool :p

Weaponized chlorine gas, in the field, smells like spicy pineapple. When you smell it and start to feel the effects, grab a large piece of cloth, saturate it with urine, and cover your head. Then retrieve your Lee-Enfield SMLE/303 and go about your business! Nothing simpler.
