I'm thinking about picking up the latest copy of the SAS Survival Handbook for Christmas. Amazon has it on sale for $13.59. It looks like it has good reviews, but I wanted to check and see what people here thought.
I didn't look too very hard, but didn't see a thread for this. Let's start a list of all the foods and natural remedies (medicinal plants) that we can find growing in the wilderness of Indiana. I know there is an abundance of fruits, veggies, roots, herbs and shrooms that can be found right...
I tried to search to see if this is a dupe and didn't find any other threads mentioning this site. Lots of very good info on here.

I'm putting this list together for my own benefit, but thought that it would be helpful here as well. I'm going to update this list as I find more resources.

I give them credit for "getting out there". However, there is a right way, a wrong way, and a really stupid way of doing things. It might have been wiser to hire a Guide, instead buying a of a GPS Locator Beacon. I just wish they would have posted their names so they could be the guys that...

I'm looking for a good all around survival guide that has medical remedies and plant guides in it. Basically something that talks about how to field dress game to how to patch yourself up when the game isn't dead...lol. Would also like it to include herbal remedies and plant identification...

Got to admit the climate is a little different, but this is what I was referring to in simpler living. No electricity, no pickup etc. :)
What do you think?
Think cheap, long self life and high in calories/nutrients...plus you should be able to rotate into your normal cooking routine.
I will not drink just cooking oil to stay alive!
Fire away.
Two of my brothers had new babies in the last 4 months. I asked them if they had stocked up since they have new babies. One brother I thought had his head screwed on, the other is just not on the same playing field.....
We talked about the kids and stuff they need. I asked them if they were...

Earlier today I posted a scenario on SHTF.com about procuring food during or shortly after a SHTF type event .
Long story short , the gist is , everyone and their brother will be fighting it out over a can of spam at the grocery store or a gallon of gas / supplies at the gas station .

Anybody ever tell you, after seeing your pantry full of food...
"Boy if the s*** hits the fan, I'm coming to your place!!"
And they are serious.
Note: Objecting to their claim would make some serious waves in your family. Think in-laws.
Gee, I would love to have another mouth to feed...
I'm researching different models of Hand-Crank Radios. I would like to hear your reviews and experiences with different brands. How much listening time do you get on a full charge? How long do you have to crank them? Do they wear out over time? What brands are best? Thanks in advance.
Here is an interesting satire I found for the Ingo readers.
Enjoy!
Disaster films, terminal illnesses, 2050 and 'The End'
Behavioral economists have answers. But your gut's also good at predicting. So here's what you'll likely do:

If this continues where will you and I get seeds???
Will there be new laws stating we must use GM seeds???
What are the dangers to us and the environment with GM seeds???
It occurred to me that this topic has never been covered.Why spend all day hunting when you can set traps that will work for you 24 hours a day.This can be used for emergency survival and any type of SHTF scenario where fall out is not a concern.
I can not possibly cover every type of...
