An invaluable tool to prepare for an Emergency!

I would like to thank UncommonSense for giving this information out about a year and a half ago. It seems to me that it is extremely relevant, given the situation that KH and db found themselves in after Hurricaine Odile hit the Baja peninsula/Cabo region of Mexico.
The book is called, 'SAS Survival Handbook, revised edition, For Any Climate In Any Situation'. It is a MUST READ!! Frigid, wet weather? Check! Broiling heat, frigid nights? Check! How to identify edible vs poisonous plants? Check!
Also, there is a website I frequent, as well as receive newsletters from. It is called
Survivalife.com
Again, fantastic hints and strategies if you find yourself in a survival situation.
Be prepared, because the alternative is grim.

People look at me funny when I mention this to other, um, "preppers"... but in addition to the 3 "B"s, I'm also looking at the practical aspects of living after a SHTF or TEOTWAWKI event. One is business and commerce, and the other is retaining a sense of normalcy in life.
I mean, I have read a lot of books from a lot of "survivalist/prepper" authors (Forschen, Rawles, et. al.) and while they write a good story (and have good advice in places) their one flaw is the world ALWAYS ends up in some zombie-esque war-torn state... where everyone lives from one paranoid moment to the next seemingly engaged in a war with the "bad guys" as their consuming - and sole - occupation.
Maybe I've lived in one too many actual SHTF situations (between bad weather, earthquakes, and hurricanes), but even *if* things like the power grid goes down irreparably people will still need the things a producer produces to get by... as they have for centuries before the conveniences of the 20th century came to be.

The solution can fill your freezer faster than the chickens, but you must consider the chickens as bait... :)

We have 4 hens and a cock (and an electric fence!)... am thinking about boarding the cock out to a friend a couple miles away, with the understanding we get to get him back for stud when we want (or need) chicks.
Mimi is correct to recommend caution.

It's a dog eat dog world out there. :)
Chickens are great. One of the first serious life lessons I learned as a child working at a local farm was at chicken harvest time.
I have attended many wild game dinners. No matter what the source, it is all in the preparation.
Bon appetit!

I hear they poo in the woods too. :) Don't be afraid. Just make sure you can outrun your hunting partners and carry one of them there firesticks!

The remaining hen (and a new rooster) is now ensconced in my house yard, which seems safe. So far.

People say, you can get all those on a Kindle and take up less space. I say, if I'm liable to need those books, I'm not going to be able to look them up on a Kindle.
The "crisis" is the way the administration is responding to the threat. As always.

After you get 72 hrs worth, then work on getting enough for a month, then even longer.
Sorry, folks!
